Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Lynsay Sands, one of paranormal romance's original superstars, delivers a scorching and delightful story of a mortal man on a mission - and the Vamp who is his only hope.

One late night leads to...

Kidnapped! When Jeanne Louise Argeneau left work, she never thought she'd end up tied down by a good-looking mortal. More attracted than annoyed, she quickly realizes there is more to her abductor than meets the eye.

One desperate act leads to...

Love? Paul Jones has need of a vampire, and only Jeanne Louise will do. He just has to convince this beauty of a Vamp to help him, never imagining that he would fall in love. But with the immortal world's answer to law enforcement hunting them, their time together is running out... and Paul and Jeanne Louise will need to risk everything to spend an eternity together.

Very entertaining

The story was unique amongst the series, bringing in someone who knew about immortals but wasn't one. I enjoyed the narration very much. Miss Christensen had a lot of expression in both the story and the voices. I was a little confused how Carolyn ended up with an Italian accent when she was from Toronto:)

'SCORCHING AND DELIGHTFUL,' YOU BET!

Loved it--I didn't want this one to end!

Book #17 brings back well-loved characters from earlier books, which is one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much. But don't shy away from this being your first-listen in the Argeneau series. Sands gives a good background summary early on in the book so you won't be in the dark. Then you can go back and start from the beginning.

Paula Christensen did a decent job with the narration of the main characters, less so with the others. It was difficult for me to listen to the voices of Lucian, Armand, Andres, and Bricker without Rick Robertson or Kirby Heyborne narrating. And she pronounced Notte wrong.

Very good plot

Very good in plot and unexpected plot twists. Sad and romantic parts. Unexpected solution for ending of story.

Love it

Omg this was the best story, I enjoyed it from start to finish, was surprised by the story.

Love every part of this book!!!

What did you love best about The Lady Is a Vamp?

I loved the way the author developed the love story between the characters. This book reminded me of another book Vampire Interrupted. The book shows the ups and downs to relationships. Also, it had some old characters that I love hearing about.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the way the main characters meet immediately. Although he did kidnap her, there wasn't a build up to before they are together so the main focus was on the two of them and eventually other characters from previous books make their way into the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This book is one that once you start it, you don't want anything or anyone to distrub you.

(2 Geeks + Desperation) * Margarite Magic = WOW

Even the socially inept need love but sometimes it takes a major felon to get them out of the lab. Great story with a few more, very welcome, twists than usual from Lynsay Sands. It quickly became one of my favourites in the Argeneau series. It was nice to see a more average than adonis male character for us male readers with a less than sculpted physique.

I wonder who the Argeneau Grand Dame will turn her match-making x-ray vision on next.

Sucker For Sands

Where does The Lady Is a Vamp rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Not at the top. Maybe middle-high range.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lady Is a Vamp?

Possible Spoiler:









I've read every book in the Argeneau series and have waited (still waiting) for Brickers story. The fact that he couldn't control Livy makes me wonder if she will be his life mate. Makes for a good book, what with all the awkwardness between Bricker, Paul and Jeanne Louise. Memorable indeed.

Which character – as performed by Paula Christensen – was your favorite?

Paula was great with all the characters.
Other Argeneau female narrators were too . . . breathy.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, except I'm never really sitting while I listen.
Entertaining nonetheless.

Any additional comments?

Great addition to the Argeneau series.

I really enjoyed listening/reading this book.

What did you love best about The Lady Is a Vamp?

the story line - it flowed smoothly and had just the right romance and suspense.

What did you like best about this story?

The ideal that its in human nature (or could be) to sacrifice all for the ones you love.

Have you listened to any of Paula Christensen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

n/a

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed, cried, and got upset

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to the the next release.

Lynsay Sands is always a treat.

Loved it! Can’t wait to hear the next in the series. I’ve been reading these books for years, and I love the way the narrator brings it to life.

Good Narration but Lousy Story

This is my least favorite story in the series. Spoiler alert: Jeanne Louise and Paul have such wishy washy characters in the end and it is never resolved. There are no apologies, no promises to work harder, they are just acceptably wish washy, and I don't like that. There is never a back story for Jean Louise, no explanation why she is willing to just walk away and I find that so lame and a waste of time. However, all is not lost, Paul Christensen is the narrator and does a great job. Her emotion is good, the editing is well done, and it makes this story tolerable for me.
