An Argeneau Novel

By: Lynsay Sands

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

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.

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.

Argeneau Novel totally without any punch

I have all Lynsay Sands novels and usually await the next installment of the Argeneau novels so when I noticed this was available I quickly purchased it and was eager to get started. I should have saved my money because this book is so boring I could barely get through it, and the book was made even worse by the mono-tone voice of Kirby Heyborne. The dialogue was so boring I could not muster any excitement for the two main characters. This installment had none of the humor that I normally enjoy from Sands and Cale and Alex never really jell as a real love interest.

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.

Maybe It's a Genre Thing

Maybe it's a genre thing, but I could not actually finish this. It was pretty much a harlequin romance novel with fangs. I shall steer clear of this sort of thing in the future.

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!

Another great story about the Argeneau's!

What did you love best about Hungry for You?

I have listen to them all now and loved them all, pure fantasy romance with adult love scenes, especially loved the narrarator with the sexy French accent...the only bad thing about finishing them all now I have to find a new series
If you like vampire fantasy novels then you will love this series

LOVE THIS SERIES

I love this series, it doesn't take itself seriously. There is a lot of humor in it. Also, a very nice love story. Viva Atlantis.

very absorbing

I love this authors books however I prefer Kirby Heyborne to the other narrators...wish he had narrated all the Argeneau Stories

very enjoyable listen

loved the female character and the portrayal of her life, the man was also refreshing in that he was old/wise but wasn't some bossy bully all knowing fellow (what with him being 300 years old and all) The man who read the story has a fantastic voice too, he can use different accents and not sound like an idiot
(he's like a voice actor, sounds very 'real')

Love this story.

Really well read. fantastic story. Lynsay Sands is a great author. Love the Argeneaus. Recommended

great

i love these novels, theare great to listen too and always have a twist in them

enjoyed this story very much

e good story well told and I would recommend it to fans of Lindley Sands
