Stephano Jacob Colson Notte has had a hard time adjusting to the fact that he's been made a vampire against his wishes, even if it did save his life. Having run away from his family to Ottawa more than three years ago, he's now created a new life being a bodyguard as Jake Colson. When Marguerite Argeneau approaches him with a request to protect someone from her ex-husband, Jake finds himself pretending to be a housekeeper for an artist while he's really working as a bodyguard. When Jake discovers he can't read his newest assignment, he'll do anything to stop the person who's after her.
Convinced the accidents that have happened around her house are just accidents, Nicole Phillips doesn't want a bodyguard around. What she does agree to is a housekeeper, but Jake Colson is no where near what she imagined a housekeeper looks like. Now that he's here, she's having a hard time keeping her mind on things like work. When the accidents start to take on a deadly turn, Nicole's still not convinced her ex-husband is behind things, but she does know that they have to get to the bottom of who's trying to harm her soon, before both she and Jake wind up dead.
Ten years ago, Lynsay Sands first introduced us to the Argeneau clan. Now with a decade of books behind her, Sands gives us book nineteen with ONE LUCKY VAMPIRE, showing she's still going strong with this series. Jake was first introduced to readers in Vincent Argeneau's book, A Bite to Remember. I admit, he hasn't been a character I've wondered much about since his introduction (I would love his cousins, the twins, to each get a book though) but I did love his story. With Jake, Sands gives us a vampire who's really not happy about being one. I love how in trying to explain himself to Nicole, Jake began to accept himself, along with his family, as well. The mystery of the would be assassin was a good one. I didn't figure out who it was until just before it was revealed. Even though this series is already nineteen books in, I, for one, hope Sands plans on writing nineteen plus more. I'm no where done with these light-hearted, banter-filled, humorous paranormals. Plus, I really want Justin Bricker's book. Sands has a way of bring a smile to your face while you read about the latest antics of her characters. ONE LUCKY VAMPIRE is no exception, so run out to the book store and buy yourself a copy.
