After losing his wife in a horrible car accident, Paul Jones will do anything to hold onto his dying daughter Lily, even kidnapping. What was supposed to be an easy endeavor--kidnap a vampire and convince her to turn his baby girl in order to save her life--becomes much more complicated when he finds himself falling for the lady vamp.

Jean Louise Argeneau isn't panicked when she discovers herself kidnapped and chained to a bed. More than anything, it's an inconvenience, until she tries to read the mind of her handsome captor and discovers he may just be the life mate she's been waiting for. Being kidnapped by a mortal is a serious offense in the immortal world, and Jean Louise will have to risk everything if she wants to spend the rest of eternity with her mortal captor.

Now into book seventeen with her Argeneau series, Lynsay Sands' THE LADY IS A VAMP takes us in a darker direction than the normally humorous and light-hearted fare she provides. I love that Sands is always changing things up in her book because it keeps the series going without readers losing interest. Though this book is a bit darker, with the storyline of a dying child, it's still very much Sands at her best. Full of romance, action and heartbreak, THE LADY IS A VAMP is another riveting read that's not to be missed. I can't wait until the next book in the series to see what new surprises Sands has in store for us.
