Lover of Romance 

Lynsay Sands has always been one of my favorite authors to read from when it comes to vampire romances. She was one of the first paranormal authors that made me fall in love with the genre. I was given a copy of One Lucky Vampire in return for a honest review through Edelweiss. I was really excited to be able to read Jake's story. After reading this one though, it made me want to re read the whole series. Even though it's not my favorite one in the series, it was still just as fun and unique.

Jake is still adjusting to his life as a vampire. It feels like just yesterday when he was turned when he was almost killed. Now he still has issues with being a vampire, having hated vampires most of his life. When Marguerite comes to him for his help, he can't say no to her, even though he knows that there must be more than one purpose for her asking for his help. A young woman's life is in danger from her soon to be ex husband, who wants her for her money, and after a few murder attempts, Marguerite is convinced that Nicole's life is in danger. Nicole loved her husband in the beginning, but it became apparent that her husband was just using her for her money. When Marguerite convinces her that she needs a cook/housekeeper so she can focus on her paintings, she reluctantly agrees, but she never expect a hunk of male goodness to arrive on her doorstep. Jake at first isn't going to complain with protect a sweet and beautiful young woman, but when he tries to read her, he finds out that she is his life mate. Now he is in a world of trouble, because that is the last thing he needs. But before he realizes it he finds that Nicole is everything he needs.

I found One Lucky Vampire to be a cute read. It does have the same uniqueness that Sands has with this series. Although what I loved about this, is that Jake is unlike her other heroes in a way. He is very bitter in the beginning about vampires and who he is. The way that this author puts together this story is quite enchanting in a way. I loved the way she puts these two together, and there is quite a good mystery involved as well that added a certain flavor to it. A fun and witty vampire romance that is full of endearing characters, thrilling plot, and enough sensuality to fog your windows!!

I was a little hesitant about this one when I was reading other reviews about it,but it has been about a year since I lost read a book from this series and it did not bother me at all. There was a curve ball when finding out who was trying to kill the, though. Off to the next book.

A quick and easy read. Nothing surprising, but a nice read on a hot summer day.

Overall Rating: 3/5 Stars

It's been a good minute since I read a book by Lynsay Sands. I can honestly say that I don't love them as much as I used to. It's kind of disappointing because I still have a lot of book from this series that I need to read. I will still read them though, because even though I didn't love it as much as I did, I still enjoyed myself. 

I still love the scientific parts of this series. I love the nanos and I love that they originated from Atlantis. I think that is so creative. I love how there's an explanation for everything. The fangs, the eyesight, the hearing, etc. It's not very often I've come across a vampire book that was scientifically explained.

I enjoyed the book. All the way until the ending. I was not a fan whatsoever with how it ended. How is the bad guy going to be someone that nobody even cares about? That's some kind of BS.

So, I really loved Jake. I loved that he his undercover as a cook/housekeeper to keep Nicole safe. I really liked that he didn't intentionally go there but on a favor for the amazing Marguerite, the matchmaker. I really had fun with seeing their relationship grow. I just didn't see how Nicole was okay with the immortals as fast as she was. I feel like she should have put up some resistance for that knowledge.

All in all, I think it was really enjoyable. I just hated the ending and hated Nicole's reasoning for the immortals and being instantly okay with them. If those were different, I would have given the book at least a 4.5.
