I wish I could give this one more than 5 stars, but I felt that way about all of the Argeneau books! These brothers are hot, hot, hot! Bastian and Terri's love scenes are remarkably tender and sexy! Terri's past makes it hard for her to open her heart to Bastian, as does his. Both have been wounded in the past either by betrayal (in Bastian's case) or death (in Terri's case) and it's made them a bit skittish to give their hearts away again and risk the pain of loss. I know that in a good romance, the characters have to overcome obstacles to their love but this obstacle seems to be so real. I can, luckily, only imagine losing a spouse or parent to death but it would make it very hard to allow anyone that close again. The fact that the characters love one another enough to try is what makes this a wonderful love story.
I recommend that you read all three books (in order)! They are all terrific and not to be missed - whether you are just a vampire fan or a romance fan! There's enough of both elements for any serious fan to enjoy!!

Tall, Dark & Hungry is another satisfying, hysterical, sexy vampire tale.

Bastien Argeneau has always been the dependable one, the got to guy, the mister fix the problems. So it was no shock that his soon to be sister in law asks that her cousin and maid of honor be put up in his home. Bastien was not expecting in all his four hundred plus years to be falling in love. Terri is a breath of fresh air, which was missing in his life.

Terri Simpson arrived early to help with her cousin Kate Leever to Lucern Argeneau. She moves into Bastien's penthouse and is surprised to find herself enjoying her host company. Bastien is a caring, thoughtful, sexy man.

As Bastien and Terri are thrown into last minute wedding preparations when Kate and Luc are called out of town, they become closer and realize how much they care. But Bastien has one little vampire secret that could change it all.

Lynsay Sands has written another fantastic book in her vampire family. The family dynamics are hysterical. The passion between Terri and Kate is so steamy and so tender.
I hope we get to see more of the wonderful family.

I'm a reader who thoroughly enjoyed Love Bites and Single White Vampire. This latest installment (Tall, Dark, and Hungry) was just plain dull. Terri, the heroine, was "nice" but way too uninteresting to ever intrigue the romantic interest of a hot male like Bastien, much less inspire him to make her his one and only lifemate. The author seems to tell us how the main characters feel about each other rather than show us how this so-called romance and passion build. From our glimpses of Bastien in the earlier books, we would expect him to have many more dimensions than the boring, flat character we ended up seeing in his featured installment (T,D,and H) Also, many of the fun vampire antics and revelations we loved in the earlier novels were noticably absent here. Maybe the author thought readers would be bored by a repeat of these issues from the other books, but it just makes Terri look plain stupid not to comment on Margerite (sp?) looking like she could be Bastien's sister rather than his mother. The clannish sense of the Argeneau (Sp?) family is also sadly missing here. The one attempt at comedy (a minor character who has a run of bad luck accidents) didn't even earn a chuckle IMO. Tall, Dark and Hungry was disappointing and if you must read it, borrow it free from the library.
