Length: 9 hrs and 49 mins

Publisher's Summary

This vampire has been alone for far too long....

As one of the most ancient in the Argeneau clan, Cale Valens has given up on finding a life mate. His friends and family, however, have not. In fact, they believe they've finally found his perfect match. Getting them together, however, requires one little white lie....

Alexandra Willan is in a panic. Her restaurant is due to open in two weeks, but her chef just walked out. Then a highly recommended replacement arrives, an impossibly handsome culinary genius who sends electric tingles racing through her body....

Except he can't cook. In fact, Cale hasn't eaten real food in 2,000 years. Yet he's determined to prove to Alex his prowess in the kitchen - and elsewhere. Because never has he hungered so for any mortal woman. And not just for a taste of her, but for the whole delicious feast!

Love in vein: listen to more tales of the Argeneau Vampires.

Wowserz!

Grab your oven mitts before you start listening to this sexy story! Lynsay Sands has once again proven that she can deliver one HOT HOT HOT hit book! This edition of the Argeneau Vampire series is excellent! While I am still in love with Armand Argeneau (Born To Bite), Cale Valens is one vampire after this womans heart too! The kitchen sizzles in this love story set in the kitchen! I do not know where Ms. Sands comes up with all of these excellent stories, but I am so glad that she shares them with us and so glad that they have been brought to audible.com as well! I do wish they would carry more of her stories too! This is another must read for any vampire fan!

Disappointing . . . Never Realy Clicks . . .

I never thought i would write a bad review of a Lynsay Sands Argeneau Novel. I downloaded this as soon as I saw it. I wish now I had missed it.

This story never really takes hold of you I even stopped listening to it before it was half way. I came back to it later in the hope It might get better or grab me . . . sadly it did not.

This should have been another hit, Alexandra Willan's story should have been as good as her sisters but you never feel that there is any real connection going on here between her & Cale or at times reality.

Cale pretends to be a chief to get to meet her & badly burns dishes in her high end restaurant but some how they manage to keep that fact from Alex & even feed half cooked badly burnt food to patrons & convince them its mana from heaven , , , meanwhile Alex is having problems with the new restaurant we are to believe that a successful business woman who has already built & run a successful restaurant does not seem to know the basics of dealing with business and trade people. E.g. A professional painter signs for paint he is told not to use until she OK's it. He does so anyway even though its green & the tins are labeled white. The painter leaves saying he will bill Alex. In the real world the professional painter would not only be up for repainting but paying for the used paint he signed for & used in spite of be told other wise. But Alex a successful business woman apparently cant see this.

This of course sets up for Cale Valens to manage the fit-out & leaves Alex to cook . . .
I know this is fiction but so much just rings so hollow like the fact that Cale appears to be the only immortal to date that does not know how to use a microwave ( they use them to heat blood etc) or apparently read (yet he is a successful business man) he burns/destroys one microwave meal after another until Bricker comes.

This just does not have Lynsay's usual flair or style its almost as if it's been written by someone else.

Love those Argeneau Vampires

I really love these men and women. I can't wait until Bricker finally meets his match. Any chance it might be a biracial cop from Texas? Good job Ms. Sands. I'm looking forward to the next one.

What a voice

Lynsay Sands airways writes great stories and this one is no exception. The narrator is really good and had me melting several times.

BROTHER WHERE ART THOU!

FOR ME THIS WAS ANOTHER HIT BY LYNSAY SANDS. ALEX AND CALE ARE PERFECT COMBINATION. THEY ALSO COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER ON ALL LEVELS. I MAY BE WRONG BUT I THINK THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE BOOK. CALE'S MOTHER IS MARTINE/DECKER'S MOTHER IS MARTINE WHICH MAKES THEM BROTHERS. BUT IN THE BOOK CALE REFERS TO DECKER AS HIS COUSIN. HELP ME OUT HERE, ANYBODY.

One of the best

This one is my favorite Argeneau novel. I have read or listened to books 1-15. I like them all mind you - though one or two stories have pushed my patience a little with overly self-sacrificing / ridiculously over protective male leads .

In any case, the first four books and Thomas's story are tops for me. But this one is my favorite, probably because I can really relate to unhealthy expectations of parents translating to the closing off of emotions in adulthood.

As an aside, Lucern's story, Single White Vampire is the one that made me laugh the most.

I enjoy them all for la little light reading or listening, often filled with humorous insights - some even are actual LOL. Perfect to pass the time on a long, lonesome drive.

This one is Laugh out Loud Funny!

What made the experience of listening to Hungry for You the most enjoyable?

Well, Kirby Heyborne has a great sense of comedic timing so he increases the enjoyment of this in book greatly!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hungry for You?

I think when Alex finally sees what Cal is after the accident. I think I actually get pretty upset with her every time, because even though he's never done anything to hurt her, only to help and she's literally crying because she thinks he's dead, when she realizes he isn't dead, instead of being happy that he's alive, she freaks out and runs away from him because he's a vampire! I mean, I understand how that would be upsetting, but come on, if he really could control her and was using her why would he help her and be nice to her? There would be no need to! I just wanted to smack her in the back of the head and say, "Think you, idiot… Think!"

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

I have heard Kirby's performance in, "Born to Bite" and both are equally wonderful!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Hungry for You… Of course!

Any additional comments?

I'm glad that Sam finally turns… She really drug that particular storyline out and I was ready for it to be done.

Superb narrator!

For a delightful story and excellent addition to the series. Likable characters, wonderfully drawn and performed. Only mild frustration with Alex's absolute refusal to see and accept the obvious. Charming romance and laugh out loud moments.
