Born to Bite

Not the best book in the series but not the worst either. I liked that this book had a bit of a mystery to solve and it answered a question I had from a previous book. I liked the change from past stories.

I also liked the characters in this one. I just wished we had gotten to know more about Eshe, especially her children. The plot was decent but there was one problem that kept bugging and I don't want to discuss it in detail because it will spoil the story. You will know what I am talking about if you read the book.

Despite the few relative minor things I enjoyed this one and look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Engaging but fairly predictable, the characters were interesting but the plot felt a bit lacking for me, I didn't really feel like I got to know the characters outside their wacky hi-jinks and having to escape firey death at every turn, at the same time it was an engaging read and kept me wanting to know who did it and why.

Light, enjoyable but I wouldn't really read it again.

I love this series, and BORN TO BITE did not disappoint.

Armand Argeneau is the brother-in-law of Marguerite – she and her children were the focus of six of the ten Argeneau Family books, and she appears/is mentioned in the other four. Armand’s had pretty bad luck in the past, with three wives dieing, and his son’s wife being murdered. So when Eshe needs to stay at his farm and turns out to be his life mate, things get complicated – especially since Eshe isn’t staying with Armand for the reasons he was told. This is the story that wraps up the over-arching mystery plot line of the Rogue Hunter books, brings in information from the Argeneau Family books, and is just…good.

I really liked that the life mates in this one are both show more already quite old immortals, and have both had life mates before. There was no explanation of immortals needed, no scene of a life mate deciding (or needing) to become a vampire, and no angsty “will they, or will they not get together.” The focus wasn’t so much on the life mates this time, but on wrapping up a four book long mystery (that spanned hundreds of years, plot wise). All the characters are slowly coming together, finding their life mates and repairing the breaks in the Argeneau family. As usual, the sex scenes are tastefully, and moderately – yet deliciously – well written. They are an addition to the plot, they don’t take it over. I definitely had to read ahead in this one (as always happens with mysteries); I thought I had figured out who the killer of Armand’s life mate and wives, and Nicholas’ wife, was and I had to make sure =D show less

OK, I have to tell you I am such a die hard Argeneau fan... And when I was lucky enough to receive Born to Bite for Review I was all a twitter :)I have been wanting to know about the mysterious Armand Argeneau since I started reading this series. I pondered is he a murderer or does he just have really bad luck with women. Each time he falls in love and is blessed with a child each of his wives die in mysterious accident... Armand has distanced himself from and pushed his family away for centuries, leaving his sister in law to raise his children. Good father or unfeeling Bastard???? We shall see....Born to Bite opens Armand's son Nicholas (Hero of the last Rogue Hunter book Renegade Hunter ) a former Rogue Hunter being held for the show more alleged murder of a human woman.Lucian bad ass head of the Council. Is trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.. could the murder of the human woman be related to the deaths of Armand's wives???Lucian sends one of his best people to snoop around in Armand's life to try and determine whether he is guilty or innocent. Enter Eshe d'Aureus 6 ft of awesome motorcycle riding enforcer. Eshe can't believe how she feels when she first sees Armand. She is instantly in lust with him. But she is there under the guise of staying at his farm to hid out for her own safety.. as if.. she need help protecting herself. Armnad is also instantly taken with Eshe, but he know every time he falls for someone they die a horrible death. So he will do his best to push away his possible new life mate. What ensues is a wonderfully fun story filled with twists and turns, Romance, Drama, Lies and Deception...I love that you get to see what the past lives of the Argeneau family were like.And I really didn't see this ending coming O_0I thoroughly enjoyed Lynsay Sands newest tale of the Argeneau family.It is like visiting with old friends and catching up on all the new events as well as Armand finding Eshe a new life mate who was Born to Bite ^..^If you are a fan of this series you wont be disappointed show less

probably one of my favorites. it's so great that Nicholas,(sp), Thomas, and Jeannie all have their father back. but how weird do you think it would be having Eshe (sp) as their soon to be step-mommie? I always love Ms. Sands books, they're enjoyable, highly entertaining, quirky, comical, filled with heat. I will be immensely sad when this series comes to and end.

4.5 Stars

I really enjoyed this Argeneau book although it is a bit different from the others in the series in that it has a bit of a mystery to figure out and not as much humor. I enjoyed the mystery aspect and kept going back and forth on who I thought was the killer until it was revealed. I did however miss the usual bantering and humor that I always look forward to in these series.

Aside from this, Armand and Eshe are cute together even thought there is very little build up. They both are older and know exactly what it means when they can’t read each other and decide not to waste time despite their differences. Well that is once Armand realizes that whoever the killer is already after Eshe too and it is too late to send her away to show more protect her…so she has to stay with him!

This series will definitely remain on my to be read list and I am looking forward to the last Willian sister Alex’s story coming soon! show less

Another great story by Lynsay Sands. I love the Argeneau series and wish I was apart of their family LOL.In Born to Bite you finally get to hear Armand's story and everything about his past. Including how all three of his wives died. Armand goes on a mission along with Eshe to try to find out if his wives deaths were really an accident or if they were murdered.Of course in the beginning, Armand has no idea that Eshe was really sent there to investigate him and find out if he has anything to do with their deaths. He thinks he is doing Lucian a favor by hiding Eshe on his farm. One thing leads to another between the two, and you have an exciting little trip.What I liked the most about this story was, that Armand had given up on finding show more love and practically lived alone on his farm and with his workers. He kept his distance from his family feeling like anyone he was around dies. He never spent time with his children or barely even called anyone. So when he meets Eshe and realizes it's another shot at love his whole world changes. Same goes for Eshe, who lost her life mate in a battle. They were both given the chance to love again and be happy.Though some parts were very predictable, I still very much enjoyed Born to Bite. Of course Lynsay Sands never fails when it comes to the romance parts. Just like the other books in this series, I laughed and fell in love with the Argeneau family all over again. I found Lucian very funny in this book. I love him mated!Now, the wait for the next Argeneau story. Which is going to kill me.I give Born to Bite Four Stars! show less
