Hungry for You (Argeneau Vampire Series #14)

Series best - definitely a keeper!

Alex Willan is a chef opening a new restaurant, but things aren't happening as fast as they should due to a string of mishaps. Unbeknownst to her, her sisters have become coupled with Immortals, and are trying to find her lifemate so they won't have to continue without her. Cale, the hero, is told that Alex is his lifemate, and jumps in to help Alex open her new restaurant and sort out the supposed mishaps. What was unusual (and refreshing) was that Cale was so OPEN to finding somebody, even if he was doing just fine on his own; he was willing to step up while she figured out her footing professionally and personally. Of course Sands pokes fun, with lines like "her words not really making it past his thoughts about spending eternity with her." I loved that the characters took their time and learned about each other. It added depth to the sexual and romantic tension between Alex and Cale. It also showed the deep respect that Cale had for Alex's personality; he enjoyed her quirks and her independence, and found ways to teach her to compromise. The mystery aspect moved along nicely and while you might have an idea who it may be, there are a few roadblocks thrown in to make you question yourself. And of course, since this is a series you see one rather large plot line from another story be resolved. If you haven't read this series, it's okay. This story can be read as a standalone, but it does add more to your reading if you know the characters. Hungry for You is on my Christmas list, and a must-purchase for my library. *I received a free digital galley courtesy of Harper Collins. This is a review based on an uncorrected e-proof*

Omg really good

Really good book cant wait to 17 comes out already read this just so good

Loved the book but

There are a few mistakes in the grammer and they even mistaken Decker has Cale's cousin instead of his brother. But the book is great.

Another Argeneau Hit

This book was very well detailed, and a very good read!

And Yet, Another Great Book!!!

This is #14 in the Argeneau Series. Lydsay Sands pulls off another great novel. This time it's Alex who finds her lifemate in the form of Cale; an immortal over 2000 years old. Of course, she doesn't know this... and the laughter begins when he discovers food, wet dreams and all that comes with finding a mate. Alex is also funny when she discovers Cale isn't the "perfect man" and runs to warn her sister, Sam, that he's a vampire. You'll have to read the book to find out how she discovered this fact, what she did to warn her sister, etc... And you will laugh out loud at Cale learning about microwaves and everything to do with "wooing his girl".

LOVED

Great series!!!

Argeneau Vampire Series

Hungry for you is just as good as all the other books in this series. Exciting and fast paced the characters are fun and interesting. This was a very very good read. I have about 7 so far in this series and will purchase more. The best thing I can say is I read and reread them. That makes good books to me.
lynsay Sands is a very good author.

Lynsay has done it again!

I have EVERY BOOK THIS AUTHOR HAS PUBLISHED!!!! All ner books have comedy, intrigue, and a great storyline. If you haven't tried her get started and you will not be dissapointed.

I just love this series

Each book just makes me laugh outright. Lynsay Sands writes romance with humor so well. I have loved eveery book in this series not one has disappointed me yet. I love the got to go pee in this seen in this book, i laugh so hard thought i was going to pee my pants. Enjoy the book read, the series you won't be disappointed.

Love this series!!

I can always count on Lynsay Sands to have me laughing, sighing, and blushing all within the same book. This is one of my all time favorite authors. Her characters always come with a lot of sarcasm and ridiculously funny incidents.


Cale Valens is one of my favorite Argeneau vampires. The level headed businessman of the family brings tons of laughter when he gets stuck as the chef for Alexandra's restaruant in order to get closer to her. Even after the disastrous attempt at cooking he still needs to find a way to convince Alexandra to give him a chance. Having this sexy vampire do his level best to gain your attention would definetely be many women's dream come true (Mine for sure). Unfortunatley due to Alexandra's tragic relationships from the past she really wasn't open to a new one. Reading how Cale is able to change her mind on the subject was heartwarming and hilarious. Lynsay Sands' "Hungry For You" is a recipe for success!

awesome

Another great one from Lynsay ..

The Argeneau series

If you like vampire romance you'll enjoy this book. Its classic readimg enjoyment

Love this Series!

This book series is one of my all time favorites. I just know every time I open up one of the books that I'm in for a mix of love, laughs and mystery.

Hungry for you is the latest in the Argeneau Series (which I'm a little late to be reading/reviewing since it came out in Nov) and is true to format.

Marquerite is up to her old tricks.. hooking up members of her family with Lifemates. This time her eyes are set on the last single Wheelan sister, Alex.

Alex is in the midst of opening up her second restaurant when a case of bad luck nearly derails her plans. Fortunately for her Cale appears and works to save her restaurant and her life as an unknown assailant, believed to be behind her string of recent bad luck, attempts to kill her.

Cale is in for the fight of his life, for both Alex and himself.

I don't want to give away too many details because this is one of those few series that I recommend you read and believe you will enjoy. So make sure you pick it up!

loved it as i did 1-13

This one was as good as all the others. The whole series is a must read

Lynsay Sands is amazing

Argeneau Vampire series never gets old. I read her books usually within the day because I can't put them down.

Fantastic Book

Ms. Sands has done it again and given her readers and fans another winner of a romance.

For readers who have been following the series, they know that Aunt Marguerite has an uncanny knack for setting up hapless and unsuspecting immortals with their equally unsuspecting future mates and then sits back to watch the sparks fly. Sometimes Marguerite outdoes herself and I think Hungry For You qualifies as one of her best matches to date.

Cale, whose very name caused a smile or two once he met Alex, is adorable. He's gruff, filled with ennui and happy with that fact. He has no interest in humans - at least that's his story and he's sticking to it. What a reader eventually realizes is that Cale is no different than the other immortals. He too yearns to find the love of his life but doesn't believe it's really going to happen. How sweet it was to have him get his happily ever after. What is even better is how much fun a reader has watching him bumble his way through it.

Enter Bricker. Honest, Ms. Sands had me in stitches with what Bricker said and did to poor Cale. I mean, talk about set up. Bricker's sense of humor and mischievous antics are off the charts as he plays backup matchmaker to Marguerite. I laughed so many times from his dialogue and character input, it was great. His idea about the van was giggle worthy especially considering what actually happened and Cale's response. I'm still laughing.

Alex is the sister of Sam, the one who mated with Mortimer. Sam wants her sisters to be happy and to that end, it means Alex needs to be mated to an immortal too. I loved how Alex explained "the look". That whole internal dialogue scene made me smile. I liked Alex a lot. I liked her dedication and her full belief that people were inherently good and of course, that's key to the plot and to the villain. I sort of had an idea what was going on to poor Alex but I never would have guessed as to whom. Meanwhile, she has to contend with Cale's knight in corporate armor to help save the day and her restaurant. I enjoyed her slow tumble into passion and trust and thought it hysterical that a famous chef showed up to save the day. I don't think Ms. Sands has ever done a pseudo-cameo like that before and I found it really cool.

When Cale and Alex finally overcome the initial hurdles to their getting together, the sparks fly and the heat soars and readers get treated to some very hot and passionate clinches. I enjoyed their enthusiasm.

All's not whipped cream and chocolate however. There is a villain. There is strife and doubts and worries that plague and torment both hero and heroine both internal and external. Ms. Sands brings just enough light suspense and drama to keep a reader gripped by the story and its effect on Alex and Cale which in turn kept me turning the pages swiftly. The dialogue has the Sands/Argeneau brand that I look forward to and which is evident in spectacular fashion. One of the best aspects of this series is when Ms. Sands includes the family in all their helpful, intrusive and loving glory. Whether providing the soon to be lovebirds incentive to be together or defending them against an unknown foe, the Argeneau clan is a force to be reckoned with and, as usual, enhances my enjoyment tremendously.

Hungry For You by Lynsay Sands is another delightful story about the Argeneau clan.

Alexandra Willan is at the end of her rope. She has one successful restaurant going strong and on her way to opening another when her head chef quits. Her sister recommends a highly trained chef by the name of Cale Valens who just happens to be visiting. Alex is willing to give Cale a try.

Cale Valens is a thriving businessman in Europe but being an old vampire has caused him not enjoy life much any more. Cale agrees to visit extended family members and somehow gets roped into pretending to be a master chef. Cale's much loved Aunt Marguerite is convinced that Alex Willan is Cale's life mate. One meeting with Alex has Cale knowing Alex is the only woman for him. Now to convince Alex of this fact.

Alex quickly discovers that Cale is more of a business manager then chef and agrees to let him take over management of the restaurants so she can concentrate on her first love cooking. Alex struggles to keep their relationship simply professional but Cale has that special something that makes her blood sizzle. Their sexual chemistry is something Alex had no idea even existed and she has never been happier.

Even though their professional and personally relationship is going smoothly someone is out their trying to destroy all the Alex has achieved.
But will the truth about Cale destroy them both?

Hungry For You is a fast paced, sexy read about those Argeneau clan members. Each book in this series is a keeper and I look forward to each and every one.

An okay read

It was a little slow, not as humorous as her earlier work.

Good book but----

Good book but someone should have used spell check before publishing. Words were run together on almost every page which was very distracting. I would have given it a fiur if not for that. I noticed the sample of her new book has the same spelling errors. Be cause of that I may not purchase it.
