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.

Transitions can be hard

Sometimes it’s really hard to accept narrator changes. There is nothing wrong with this narrator except Carolyn now has a sort of European accent. Lucian, Leigh, and Marguerite all sound stuck up. Anders no longer has a Russian accent, etc. Shouldn’t a director or someone catch these inconsistencies? It’s tough to stay in the story with these constant changes.

Better with time

Laynsay Sands just seems to get better with time. Very skilled at tugging heart strings. A well rounded tale.

Not one of my favorites

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend this series, but not this specific book. I don't particularly like this book and though the narrator was better than Victoria McGee, she still didn't do that great of a job.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I liked the ending and how it all worked out, but I felt that the angst that the main character put herself through was a little bit over the top and kind of ridiculous. Real life is, we don't always get what we want, and I thought that punishing herself and who she wanted because it didn't turn out exactly the way she wanted was just ridiculous. I wanted to smack her in the back of the head at least a dozen different times.

What aspect of Paula Christensen’s performance would you have changed?

She used the same set of voices (mostly) in this book as she did in the previous books that she has narrated in this series, but not for the same characters. It was very frustrating and I could hear her breathing quite often. It was distracting.

Do you think The Lady Is a Vamp needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No… Absolutely not… Unless you count the next book in the series as a follow-up book. If that's the case then sure. I believe Jean Louise's story was covered more than amply.

this was a so-so...

I was looking forward to listening to this book and I wish I hadn't bothered. I have enjoyed other books in this series, however, this one is a miss for me.

Very well done

So Uncle Lucius ha a heart, after all.

I've read a complaint or two about the narrator reading very slow or choppy. I felt that she was more just trying to enunciate clearly. I enjoyed listening to her. But we speak slowly in Tennessee. ;-)

It was pretty obvious how the story would end, but how the characters got there evolved slowly, and was a bit of a surprise. I loved it.

I have listened to many of the stories in this series several times, and I will enjoy listening to this one again, too.

All of Lynsay Sands' vampire novels are great!

Have not read or heard a novel by Lynsay Sands that I have not loved. I recommend both her vampire series as well as her historical. But WARNING: Prepare to laugh and enjoy yourself!

Always a winner

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

At the top. I have allot of authors I love and read all there books. I have read all the other Argeneau vampire series and loved this book as much as the first in the series. Wouldn't hesitate to buy the next book in the series. I enjoy Lynsay Sands books so much I have pre booked her next book.

What other book might you compare The Lady Is a Vamp to and why?

Christine Feehan, dark series.

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

Not sure I don't really take much notice of the narrator unless I hate them. Then I note down who it was and make sure I don't get any more books narrated by that person.

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

Yes,
