Etienne Argeneau can turn one human into a vampire in his lifetime - an honour his kind usually reserved for their life mates, to let their love life forever. But it's all a bit more complicated than that. Rachel Garrett, a beautiful coroner, has just saved his life and now she's about to lose hers. Etienne has a choice: he can save her life in turn, and thus doom himself to an eternity alone, unable to create his own life mate. Or he can watch his saviour die in the name of a love he has yet to meet. Her life and his love weigh in the balance, and whatever Etienne does he may live to regret for eternity ... The first book in the Argeneau series introduces the Argeneau family, and features a chaotic romance you can really sink your teeth into.

Lover of Romance 

This is the only one of the Argeneau Series that I hadn't read, and so it was a delight to read. More so than I thought it would.
Rachel Garrett works in the morgue at the hospital, and when a dead man comes in from a gun shot wound, she is to process him. However she finds herself gazing at the most handsome dead man she has ever met. Rachel thinks she must be crazy, to have the hots for someone who is dead. Then when he wakes up, she is more shocked than ever. A little while later another corpse is brought in, a burnt one from a explosion, however she then realizes he is alive, then a crazy man comes in armed with a ax tries to kill the "supposed dead guy" she moves in front of him and saves his life, however her life is now at risk. Etienne knowing that he had no choice turns her, knowing that she had saved his life, and even though he can only turn one person, not yet fully realizing that Rachel is his lifemate. Etienne then takes her to his home for the turning and adjustment that she is going to need to accept the face that she is a Immortal or Vampire. Etienne, has his life threatened by a mortal, but he is resistant to the idea of killing him, he tries to avoid him. However in doing so, he almost killed his lifemate. Now Etienne's worry is whether or not Rachel will come to accept him into her life. Rachel wakes up confused and not believing that this is all real, her being turned a vampire. So at first she tries to treat it like a dream, (which definitely will fill you up with laughter) and when she starts to reallize that this is real, and after realizes Etienne did it to save her life, she then finds herself seeing the man behind what she at first believed him to be "a soulless bloodsucker" and the journey that will bring these two together will surprise and delight you.

I have found that I truly loved reading this, as this is the only one that I haven't read out of the Argeneau Series, and I don't know why I haven't read it yet, I had thought I had read the whole series. But when I saw Love Bites at the Library, the cover didn't look familiar to me, so when I realized I had yet to read Etienne and Rachel's story, I knew I couldn't resist. Rachel cracked me up through the whole thing, but especially at first with her believing that this situation is just a mere dream, from Etienne's family trying to push them together, which was by far amusing yet satisfying in the end. Etienne, oh boy, he sure needed a shove when learning how to woo his lifemate, he makes so many mistakes I felt so bad for him. It was like I wanted to shake him with common sense, but he proved to know how to do things right in the end. It was definitely a piece of cake that is worth tasting, that is pure romance, danger, and a mix of humor that will have you falling off your seat in amusement.

Love it as I love all her books in this series

I really enjoy this series. It's satisfying my suddenly insatiable appetite for romance, and this is the fourth book in the series I've devoured so far. Each book does leave a little something to be desired, and the stakes for each romance really aren't that high, but they're still fun reads. Just don't expect the novel to linger in your mind too long after it concludes.

I liked the vampire hunter plotline in this series -- I was actually wondering if any humans suspected the Argeneau family of their vampiric status and what would happen if that was the case. 

My favorite part about this book was the life mate (because we know Rachel is Etienne's life mate -- that's why we're reading the book in the first place) is turned before falling in love with her mate and before discovering what they are and what she is being turned into. Having the discussion of "Honey, we're vampires and now so are you" is a lot more interesting than "Honey, I want to be with you for all eternity so will you please turn into a vampire and stay with me forever?". It made the story a lot more interesting for me, especially since I've already read so many of this series that go the other way.

I liked this book overall. Lynsay Sands has a very fluffy, fun, light writing style and it's perfect for this lighthearted series. There is graphic sexual content in every novel so far, so I would recommend the series for a more mature audience, but I would recommend it nonetheless. I've finished each book in one day so far, which is a feat for me. I usually take at least days to read one book, so I know I'm enjoying it.
