When you read a book almost daily, and you aren't a millionaire with a library like the Beast, you need a good source for free books. I use an app called Overdrive that hooks my library card up to my library's e-books that I can download onto my Kindle. Because of this, sometimes I have to wait in e-lines (waiting lists) for really popular books, but I also find a lot of books available immediately and can go a little crazy. This series is available all the time, and there are a lot of them, therefore, I will read this whole series no matter what.
Free anything is awesome!!
So, when the last book sucked, I was bummed. I have a helluva lot of these vamp books on my Kindle right now! Imagine my joy when this one turned out to be good.
That's me frolicking. Everyone's a critic.
In this story, we have Nicholas, an ex-vamp cop who used to hunt down rogues, but was caught with a bloody, dead woman in his arms that he supposedly murdered. He's been on the run for 50 years, but has made an appearance in the last couple of books. He seems like a good guy, and is still hunting rogues, but has a death sentence on the him because of the murdering thing. Picky picky. Anyway, I was just thinking, wouldn't it be funny if it turned out he WAS a murderer and the book was still all about him getting his life-mate? That'd be awesome. But nooooooo, of course he's a good guy who is somehow just misunderstood.
Some things you can just count on happening.
Nicholas's life-mate is Jo, who is the sister of a former heroine - Sam. Jo has a smart enough mouth to make me like her.
When she realizes that she is dealing with a nest of vampires, she comments on how pretty they all are:
"Yeah. I have big pores that give away my vices while you guys all have baby's ass pores."
Baby's ass pores? I like it! She also called the look that all of the male vamps were giving her and her other sister (while they were trying to read her mind and see if she was their life-mate) the Penis Head Look. She said they stared at her forehead like she had a penis stuck to it. In other words, Jo calls 'em like she sees 'em.
Here are her nicknames for Lucian, (the guy who could sentence Nicholas to death): Asshole dictator, Bossy Boy, Sourpuss Pants, & Captain Crabby. I like a girl who can come up with great insult-names on the fly.
good name-calling is a delicate balance between funny and offensive.
But, apparently not everyone appreciates Jo's great naming skills. There is a rogue vampire who is determined to kill her - Bad Breath Guy. So, she and Nicholas have to run from the good vamps AND the bad vamps. Plus, they need time to stop and have sexy times. Priorities, ya know.
All together, a fun story. The ending, though, was left a little in the air. We won't find out who done it until the next book.

The heroine: Jo - sister to Sam, who is life mate to Garrett Mortimer. Jo has trouble believer Mortimer, Decker and Bricker are really in a band and thinks they are hiding something. She can’t quite figure them out while at a party for her sister and Garrett. She thinks they might be gay since they all seem a bit to perfect.
The Hero: Nicholas Argeneau - a former enforcer, he turned rogue 50 years ago after his best friend Decker caught him with blood on his mouth holding the body of a pregnant woman. Despite being a rogue himself, Nicholas hasn’t given up hunting rogues, especially Leonis livius, the evil rogue who keeps having a ton of “sons” which he repeatedly sends out to do dastardly deeds against Lucien and his enforcers.
The Story: Nicholas is chasing Ernie, one of Leonis’ progeny in hopes of being led to Leonis himself when he sees Ernie sneaking in to the enforcer’s estate during a party. He left his phone in his car so can’t call the enforcers to let them know that rogues are sneaking into the party on the undercarriage of some of the delivery vehicles.
Jo takes a walk on the grounds and is attacked by Ernie. Nicholas comes to the rescue and notices immediately that Jo is his life mate. I liked the storyline here. It was a bit different than most considering that Nicholas is Rogue and most of the books are about the enforcers. There was plenty of romance, steam and lots of intrigue. I really enjoyed the story.
The book is told in dual points of view, though it only has one narrator which takes off points for the narration in my opinion. The narration was done by Kirby Heyborne who does the narration on quite a few of the Argeneau series. He is a good reader and has a pleasant voice.

Now this was a fantastic read!
While the first two books in the Rogue Hunters series were good, i didn't feel they were in the same level as the Argeneau's. Now i can see why the stories didn't seem to have much "meat". They were actually building up to this book, which to me looks like the catalyst to the series.
I fell totally in LOVE with the main characters, particularly the heroine. It was a breath of fresh air to have a smart, confident (without being arrogant), friendly and feisty heroine. While the H&H were attracted to each other from the very beginning, their feelings didn't really develop until after they had built up trust and a good friendship. I liked that they expressed their feelings to each other when they figured it out. They communicated well so there were no stupid misunderstandings that seem to plague romance novels these days.
It was nice to revisit some of the old characters from previous books. Though even at the end the mystery keeps on, it only adds to my curiosity. Am not frustrate that some questions are still unanswered, i actually cannot wait for the next book to see what it will reveal.

On a ten-point scale of how well I liked it, this novel would be a solid seven, for pleasant reading plus that extra point for every book in the Argeneau series because of the nanos (see below). In Goodreads' five-star system, then, it's 3.5 stars and automatically rounded up.
A sense of humor is individual, of course, so this twelfth outing with the Argeneaus may be funnier for you than it was for me, especially if the main character Jo Willan's protracted puzzlement about them brings you laughs--the whole thing about immortals (don't call them vampires) isn't explained to her till about halfway through the book. And right at the beginning she's attacked by one rogue immortal (Ernie son of Leonius), rescued by another (Nicholas Argeneau), given hospitality by a third (Garrett Mortimer, her sister Sam's true love), and majorly stressed when Mortimer and a bunch of other immortals lock her rescuer Nicholas up for supposed crimes in the past.
Each Argeneau novel so far has been all about one of the immortals finding his/her life mate, and this time it's Nicholas and Jo. The attraction is instant and intense, which is fine in the Argeneau universe because that's one of the clues that you're really life mates for each other. The major clue, of course, is that the immortal, who can read any mortal's mind, can't read yours. But page after page of graphic, telepathically enhanced sex scenes make that first clue really obvious!
So, because he can't read her mind, Nicholas knows right away that the woman he saves from evil Ernie is his life mate, but Nicholas is on the run himself (and has been for fifty years...come on, imagination, stretch a little farther) to escape prosecution by his close relatives on the North American immortal council. The agonizing romantic trope enters stage right: if Nicholas hooks up with Jo, he condemns her to a life on the run with him; best to make the sacrifice and leave her with her sister in the loving, caring part of the Argeneau extended family.
So he keeps her in ignorance about himself and immortals, while fending off her increasingly penetrating questions about their strangeness. Early on she asks him why each of the guests at Mortimer's house gave her what she calls the "penis eye" look and moved on. From her point of view, all these people she just met for the first time stared at her forehead as though a penis was growing out of it. Nicholas can't bring himself to say that that's what it looked like when they were reading her mind. Yes, I did get a few laughs!
And of course, Jo overhears a disturbing conversation about reading minds and wiping memories, including hers, and about imprisoning Nicholas. So because of loyalty to her sister and feelings for Nicholas Jo can't help being immersed in a suspenseful and bewildering adventure. Jo's a forceful person, ready to stand up for what she believes in and to take big risks to set things right; Nicholas hasn't just found his life mate, he's found his chief defender. Go, Jo!
This is paranormal romance, and the reader expects a happy ending or at least a feel-good resolution, right? Well, it's also a mystery--as the blurb asks, can Nicholas really have committed that crime (fifty years ago, remember; good luck finding witnesses now). So yes, the book did its romantic duty and left me feeling good, but I was disappointed that the mystery will only be solved in a future book.
I promised to say something about those nanos. Well, when Nicholas finally explains things to Jo, he turns the author's brilliant idea about immortals (or "vampires") into an encyclopedic info dump that may not go down too well, unless perhaps you were puzzled too--maybe this is the first book in the series that you've read. Even though the explanation is clumsy this time, I still cheer for the idea, which yields an extended family of "vampires" you can know and love and think of as your book friends.
That's because their youthful looks and immortality (unless killed by beheading or fire) are due to superior nanotechnology and bioengineering on Atlantis before it sank into the ocean. The microscopic self-replicating nanobots that spread throughout a person's body heal all injuries, disease, and aging. They just need blood to do their work. Nowadays, with blood banks, immortals sink their fangs into bags of donated blood, and biting mortals is illegal except in an emergency. But the immortals retain the mind reading and mind control abilities that the nanos evolved to sustain their blood supply after Atlantis sank.
Even though many of the Argeneau books work as stand-alones, I think it's probably better to start with the first three or four before skipping around as I do.

I really liked this one, I could put it down for long before I wanted to hurry back to finish it.. The other two rogue hunter books have been good, but I always like the argeneau series better.
Here is a few reasons I liked this one, Nicholas is an Argeneau, so it didnt read like the other two rogue books it was more on the family lines. I really liked Jo, I fell in love with her when she called Lucian a "sourpuss pants" and thats not all she called him I was LMBO..
Nicholas and Jo are great together. I really like to read a book where there is romance and it just feel in to place with out getting borning..
Only one thing bothers me is the book ends with out telling who killed Annie I'm hoping we will find it out in the next book..

It was nice to catch up with these Argeneus' and I particularly liked Nicholas. He may be an outcast and on the run but he is still in his mind first and foremost a hunter. Pairing him up with Jo was sheer genius. She asks questions, doesn't shilly shally and generally takes chances. Does she come across as too pushy at times? Perhaps if honest as she is facing off against big bad vampires but I can't help but admire her pluck.
I read the first five books in this series but then frankly got a little bored. They did seem to follow a formula , couple meet and the vampire realises that this person is their life mate . They can only turn one human in their life span but should they do it? There always seemed to be passionate encounters between the couple and a bad guy or two getting in the way . Now add in the fact that these vampires originate from Atlantis and you begin to see why I became a little dissatisfied . It all gets too futuristic with nanos running around their blood changing and reforming them and just to this reader felt wrong. Is this the twelfth book different? Well not really but if you enjoy contemporary vampire stories you might like this. For this reader the big question hanging over at the end ruined it as I don't enjoy cliffhangers but it was fun reading about stuffy Lucian being put well and truly in his place!

In this story, we have Nicholas, an ex-vamp cop who used to hunt down rogues, but was caught with a bloody, dead woman in his arms that he supposedly murdered. He seems like a good guy, and is still hunting rogues, but has a death sentence on the him because of the murdering thing. It was nice to catch up with these Argeneus' and I particularly liked Nicholas. He may be an outcast and on the run but he is still in his mind first and foremost a hunter. Pairing him up with Jo was sheer genius. She asks questions, doesn't shilly shally and generally takes chances. Jo (the heroine) kicks serious ass! She is not a ridiculous alpha female, but she is confident, funny, and goes all out to help vindicate Nicholas. Read one Argeneau, read them all...but this had a very nice continuation of Nicholas and it had me cheering for him and his lifemate, Jo. She, of course, is fiesty and stands up even to Lucian. SHe calls him Captain Crabby. She meets Nicholas, makes out with him the same day, sleeps with him the next day and saves his a$$ literally all within a week. Jo was snarky and funny and was a great female character. However, I really want to know what Lucien found out about who killed the mortal woman and framed Nicholas. Nicholas was a good hero and Jo was a more 'together' heroine than some of the others in this series. Unfortunately, to create the situations where our hero comes to her rescue the other Hunters have to appear pretty incompetent. [Let's just say I wouldn't want to rely on them to protect MY body from hungry bad guys...:] And then there's another semi-cliffhanger ending which apparently is quite popular now but I find quite annoying. Loved this one also, i loved Josephine character alot. I like straight foward type girls in novels not shy and awkward ones so much!!!!!!!!!!!! and i definily loved my sexy husband Nickolas alot also!!!!!!!!!! i would read this again and not be bored!!!!!!
I have a helluva lot of these vamp books on my Kindle right now! Imagine my joy when this one turned out to be good. It was sooo good! It was not perfect, but I think it was my second favorite of the series that I have read so far. I really enjoyed reading this. Third in the Rogue Hunter series by Lynsay Sands, but also 12th in the Argeneau series. Confusing? Nah. It's a sub-plot based in the same world with overlapping characters.
"Yeah. I have big pores that give away my vices while you guys all have baby's ass pores."

1.5 stars - It had moments, but the unsatisfying ending left me frustrated
Renegade Hunter has a good hero in Nicholas Argenau, a rogue hunter gone rogue, now hunted by his fellow hunters - but still noble and still on the job hunting down bad rogue vampires- and a decent heroine in Jo Willin (,sister to Sam from Immortal Hunter) who is feisty and who is insightful enough to question the circumstance which made Nicholas a rogue even though all the other hunters were willing to accept Nicholas' downfall without question. But, it turns out that just having a good starring pair isn't enough to overcome the fact that the plot, since this is the 11th or 12th Argeneau book, has become very formulaic - vamp meets his/her lifemate, there is some reason why they shouldn't be together, several interrupted make out scenes to draw out the consummation and then the story of Atlantean vampires and their friendly neighborhood nanos - and mid way through Renegade Hunter I found myself wondering if this series had finally run its course.
About three fourths of the way through there was a brief glimmer of hope, when Jo challenges the rest of the immortals to try and save her lifemate and uncovers a mystery I thought that Sands was really going somewhere with the story, but then the book just comes to an abrupt stop as if the publisher ripped out the last two chapters - one for the resolution and one for the HEA epilog - just to stick in the preview of Sands' next historical. Where a slightly different ending might have redeemed Renegade Hunter for me - and it doesn't help that apparently the answers to the mystery in Armand's upcoming book - the final result was that I found Renegade Hunter frustrating and unsatisfying.
That said I will still be reading Sands' contribution to Bitten By Cupid because I've been waiting forever for Tiny's story, but it's good that Sand's next "Hunter" book won't be out right away because - and I apologize for being so abnormally negative here - maybe I'll be over my snit enough by then to give Sands another chance.

Books like this one make me happy I stuck with the series after a couple of mediocre books.
It was sooo good! It was not perfect, but I think it was my second favorite of the series that I have read so far.
Jo (the heroine) kicks serious ass! She is not a ridiculous alpha female, but she is confident, funny, and goes all out to help vindicate Nicholas. She really rolls with the punches and handles all of the drama and problems really well. But man she is horny! The guy can barely come up for air before she is jumping his bones again! I loved her love and faith in Nicholas.
Nicholas is pretty great too, but is a bit beaten down and does not believe in himself as a person. It takes a strong heroine like Jo to bring him back from the very dark place he has lived for the past 50 years. He never questioned his feelings for Jo but he certainly worried that being his lifemate would be her downfall. Instead it was his salvation.
One pet peeve I have with these books is the possibility of multiple life mates. That bugs me to no end! Since Nicholas' first life mate died 50 years ago we get to hear about her and know that what he shares with Jo is not unique. I was able to get past it though because I know Jo is perfect for him and he loved her. But it sill bugs me. I just do not want to hear about OW in any capacity. I guess Jo said it best when she said that she was the only living person that could make him feel this way and she had to be ok with that.
Aside from the above pet peeve, I totally enjoyed this book.

It was sooo good! It was not perfect, but I think it was my second favorite of the series that I have read so far.
Jo (the heroine) kicks serious ass! She is not a ridiculous alpha female, but she is confident, funny, and goes all out to help vindicate Nicholas. She really rolls with the punches and handles all of the drama and problems really well. But man she is horny! The guy can barely come up for air before she is jumping his bones again! I loved her love and faith in Nicholas.
Nicholas is pretty great too, but is a bit beaten down and does not believe in himself as a person. It takes a strong heroine like Jo to bring him back from the very dark place he has lived for the past 50 years. He never questioned his feelings for Jo but he certainly worried that being his lifemate would be her downfall. Instead it was his salvation.
One pet peeve I have with these books is the possibility of multiple life mates. That bugs me to no end! Since Nicholas' first life mate died 50 years ago we get to hear about her and know that what he shares with Jo is not unique. I was able to get past it though because I know Jo is perfect for him and he loved her. But it sill bugs me. I just do not want to hear about OW in any capacity. I guess Jo said it best when she said that she was the only living person that could make him feel this way and she had to be ok with that.
Aside from the above pet peeve, I totally enjoyed this book.

Read one Argeneau, read them all...but this had a very nice continuation of Nicholas and it had me cheering for him and his lifemate, Jo. She, of course, is fiesty and stands up even to Lucian. SHe calls him Captain Crabby. She meets Nicholas, makes out with him the same day, sleeps with him the next day and saves his a$$ literally all within a week. She determines that while Nick feels he is guilty of a horrible crime and turns rouge and feels the whole family turned their back on him for the last 50 years, Jo comes to make him realize, he is not alone. She believes he was set up...but by whom???? They don't really answer this so I am hoping in the next book, it is addressed. She makes Nick believe for the first time in 50 years, he might be innocent and makes the family who turned their backs on him, believe he must be innocent because of hte memory lapse. Hence, he was drugged...but by whoooommmm????? Answser the question Ms Sands! Enjoyed it like it was a guilty pleasure.

Books are weird things.
You can be completely, utterly drawn in with the characters, but hate the story. You can adore the story, but dislike the characters. Sometimes you might love the story and characters, but hate the pacing of the novel. And still others, you find yourself in love with everything...except the writing.
Ironically, while I have read a few of Sands' novels over the years, I don't recall hating her writing style as much as I found myself disliking such now. My primary issue with her style is simplistic but in no way less problematic. Put simply, there is nothing worse, in my opinion, than an author who writes gigantic paragraphs which describe a characters' actions, words, and thoughts to extreme. Such problem is even more pronounced when that description is done in a very robotic tone.
The writing style of this particular book was so bad, it actually started jolting me away from the enjoyment of being with the characters and became far too distracting. While I found myself charmed by the hero Nicholas, and curious about the heroine, Jo, I could not bring myself to finish the novel, despite my initial interest in the book.

Witty, suspenseful, and full of steamy romance-just the way I like my books. In this one a long-estranged Argeneau is found along with his life-mate. But, will his name be cleared? That will be included in the next book.

Story 3.5 stars rounded up. Narration 4 stars
I have read these totally out of order and because of that I’ve read other books that filled in some details for me. I would have been so lost at the end of this book if I hadn’t. It kind of made me mad so I dropped it half a star. Other than that I enjoyed meeting this new couple although the fmc,Jo, was not new to me. She featured in her sister Sam’s book as a side character. Here she meets her immortal match in Nicholas, a rogue vampire. He saves her life at the beginning of the book pretty much cementing her total trust in him-something that is a lot of times lacking when others meet their life mate. This book was a thriller at times while also being a paranormal romance. I enjoyed it as I pretty much always do. It’s also pretty spicy so I recommend it to adult romance readers.

This book was really good. Nice to see that Lynsay Sands got back on track.
I didn't like the Rogue Hunter series as much as I did the Argeneau series. And this book, even though it has almost nothing about the other Argeneau family members and most of the time you don't even remember Nicholas is an Argeneau, was as good as the rest of the Argeneau serie's books.
I loved it. Couldn't stop reading until it was done.

My all time favorite of the series !!!
Nicholas was the badass hunter I wanted to see in every book, who took care of business, done his job properly, saved the day, saved his woman, killed the bad guys, good in bed. Hmm.
Jo. I loved her more than Sam that's for sure. She was strong, even resqued Nicholas a time, has a great dog, could have snappy conversations with Anders and insulted Lucian a few times and lived to tell about it. Loved her! So much <3

I thought I knew all the direct members of the Argeneau family but it seems that the author forgot to mention, the renegade hunter Nicholas Argeneau. Nicholas Argeneau, a member of the elite Atlantean (immortal) family, was formerly an enforcer who hunted immortals who broke the rules of the council, but fifty years ago he became the hunted after his cousin Decker Argeneau Pimms (allegedly his best friend) discovered him with blood in his mouth holding the dead body of a pregnant woman. The only evidence of Nicholas’ existence was in The Immortal Hunter, in fact his name was not even included in the Argeneau family tree that each book in the Argeneau Series contained. No mention was made of Nicholas in Thomas’ story in Vampires are Forever especially since the author made it seem as if Thomas had no big brothers, other than his cousins Lucern and Bastien as he was raised by Marguerite and her husband. Where was Nicholas during all of this? It is clear to see that the author made up this character for the Rogue Hunter series. Nicholas was a surprise but a good surprise, he and his lifemate Jo were quite entertaining, Jo more so than Nicholas.
A lot of authors have described their female protagonist as a spitfire or spunky but fail to deliver, however Sands definitely delivered with the spunkiest lifemate to date. Jo let nothing stand in her way, she knew nothing about Nicholas (other than he saved her life from Bad Breath) before she broke him out of the cell he had been put in by Mortimer (enforcer and lifemate to her sister Sam). Jo even castigated Jean Louise (and rightly so) for believing that Nicholas could kill an innocent woman. (I was happy to see that Thomas was not as stupid as Jean Louise to believe that his brother would kill an innocent mortal). She even went so far as to verbally attack, all powerful and scary Lucian Argeneau, in the most hilarious scene of the Argeneau Series ever. I know that a lot of readers felt that this story was atypical of the Argeneau Series with dream sex and early sex scenes, however I found this story refreshing and containing a great deal more mystery than rest of the Argeneau series (except for Vampire Interrupted) contained.
I really enjoyed this story, a great deal of mysteries were unearthed and not completely solved but in the end it did not take away from the story. The fact that Lynsay Sands left you wanting more at the end of the book, confirms my opinion that this book was worthwhile.

Book #12 in Ms. Sands’ vampire series. This was a great book! I really enjoyed it! The heroine- Jo Willan (one of the sisters of Sam from book #10 The Rogue Hunter) is super feisty and spunky (which makes this book super fun- in my opinion)! And I equally love the hero, Nicholas Argeneau, who is a rogue immortal (accused of killing an innocent pregnant mortal who used to look like his first life mate Annie, 50 years ago, he's been on the run ever since). However, he doesn't know for sure what happend because Nicholas' memories of it were erased. This book sort of continues the same “bad guys” from The Rogue Hunter and The Immortal Hunter. How can I say “sort of”? Well, the bad guy- Ernie- in this book is one of the sons (but this one has fangs) of Leonius. Of course, Jo and Nicholas are life mates, and Jo is determined to find out what really happened the night Nicholas “killed” the pregnant mortal. A game of cat and mouse ensues as Jo and Nicholas run from the enforcers- Mortimer and gang. Time runs out and Nicholas must make a hard decision about Jo’s future- and his own.

Sam and Mortimer (from previous book the Rogue Hunter) have thrown a party inviting all of their Immortal friends. The reason for this party? To find Sam's sisters Jo and Alex lifemates so that Sam can tell her sisters the big secret and turn. Unknown to them all Nicholas Argeneau (from the previous book the Immortal Hunter) is keeping a close eye on the party, watching for any sign of Rogues and it's a good thing he was.
Jo Willian decides to take a walk outside after excusing herself from the weird party her sister Sam has thrown. She finds herself attacked by a strange man with fangs and rescued by the most gorgeous man she has ever seen, Nicholas.
Jo and Nicholas are thrown together in race to save her life from a Rogue and a race to save his life from the other Hunters.
Fantastic book! I can't say enough about this series.
Jo and Nicholas are great characters that totally suck you into their story. There's humor, blood, death, love and family mixed all through out this book. If you've read any of the previous books then you already know you have to pick this one up!

Good read, much better than the previous book [Immortal Hunter:]. Nicholas [introduced in the previous book:] was a good hero and Jo was a more 'together' heroine than some of the others in this series. Unfortunately, to create the situations where our hero comes to her rescue the other Hunters have to appear pretty incompetent. [Let's just say I wouldn't want to rely on them to protect MY body from hungry bad guys...:] And then there's another semi-cliffhanger ending which apparently is quite popular now but I find quite annoying. For me they'd be much better off just putting a teaser chapter in the back of the book.

Nicholas Argeneau was once a successful hunter who went after rogue vampires who break the immortal law. Except no one has mentioned his name in the last fifty years, not since he turned into a rogue himself. But once a hunter, always a hunter. When Nicholas sees a bloodthirsty sucker terrifying a woman, it’s second nature for him to come to her rescue. He had no idea he would also want to kiss her senseless…
One minute Josephine Willan is taking in a breath of fresh air, and the next sharp fangs are heading straight for her neck! Luckily a gorgeous stranger saves her life . . . and gets locked up for his troubles. Can a man who kisses so lovingly and passionately really have committed the crime he’s accused of? Jo isn’t so sure…and she’s determined to prove that this renegade hunter is worth fighting for.

I don't know how these books keep getting better but they do. I like how Ms. Sands has now made a single enemy tied into the family's lives. Makes things more intriguing. I Loved, loved, LOVED Jo that woman is one spicy pepper. And smart to boot. I love how she had figured things out so quickly and so easily. But I love her spark the most, and I love love LOVE LOOOOVE the way she stood up to Lucian. that had me rolling sideways on that one. This is one book you have GOT to read in this series. It's a must read, sex scenes spicy, quirkiness as expected, and the family bond the Argeneau's and their mates seem to have it's just awesome.

I really really liked this book. It was steamy, funny, suspenseful, emotional, and kept me on my toes. This was a real page-turner and I didn't want to put it down until I was finished. I would most definitely read this book again. If I owned it, it would stay on my bookshelf. (mine's not big, only can put the best on the shelf) If I had them, this would be four thumbs-up! I will definitely read the rest of the series and I can't wait. Bask and Enjoy
Re-read: Still just as awesome. If I had to be incarcerated, that's how I would like it to be. ;) Has a lot more meaning after reading the books before it. Just abso-positively loved the last scene with Lucien. You go girl!

Damn this was good. I totally loved Nicholas and Jo. You've got to read this one.

I really enjoyed reading this. Jo was snarky and funny and was a great female character. However, I really want to know what Lucien found out about who killed the mortal woman and framed Nicholas.
June 15, 2017
Jo firmly believed that her man Nicholas didn't do what they said he. Then set out to prove it. With a rogue vampire that wouldn't take no for an answer. Loved it.

"― Lo que sea,- dijo con completo desinterés y luego se volvió a Nicholas. ― El
punto es, que deberías haberte quedado justo donde estabas y dejarnos manejar
esto. Ahora vamos a tener que atar a tu tío y ponerlo en una de las celdas o algo así
hasta que ordenemos todo y podamos demostrar tu inocencia."
Jo es una de mis protagonistas favoritas, mientras casi todos o todos le tienen miedo a Lucian, ella quiere atarlo y encerrarlo en una celda 😂
La pareja que hacen Nicholas y Jo es maravillosa, el trata de resistirse a ella, para no ponerla en peligro, porque él es un renegado, y ella lo ayuda a escapar, mientras se protegen mutuamente.
Nicholas se la pasó los últimos 50 años escapando de un crimen, del que fue acusado, hasta que encuentra una nueva compañera, y ya no puede escapar, necesita tener a salvó a Jo, aunque le cueste su libertad.
Ambos son personajes muy fuertes y geniales, tenemos a casi todos los Argeneau tratando de proteger a Nicholas de Lucian, aunque no hace falta, Jo solita se enfrenta al capitán malhumorado.
"No me importa cuán viejo y poderoso él es,- interrumpió Jo con impaciencia. ―
Te amo y no voy a dejar que te mate sin pelear."

So Jo's awesome! She takes no nonsense from no one. I love how determined she is. Of course she's not going to allow Nicholas to get away with anything. This story was fun and at times silly. There were a few times where it was a little to easy for whichever side was chasing to succeed. But that is just to move the story along. I loved Jo's belief in Nicholas' innocence. She was the first person to from the start probe for more of an answer than he was capable of giving.
This was entertaining in large part because of Jo's character. She's absolutely the best part of the book and I enjoyed watching her bring Nicholas to heel. He deserved to be back with his family and to have the charge against him disappear. He's too honorable of a man. Someone who even when the world thinks he's evil is still trying to do good. His exacerbation with Jo at times was cute too. I loved Lucien's reaction to meeting Jo. Such fun.

Das ist definitiv mein Lieblingsteil der Reihe. Nicolas und Jo passen einfach perfekt zusammen. Auch das wiedertreffen mit den, aus anderen Teilen, bereits lieb gewonnen Charakteren (vorallem Margaret und Lucien) war richtig klasse. Aber wirklich entscheidend war wohl, dass mir vom Charakter her wirklich beide (Jo und Nicolas) so richig sympathisch waren. Sonst gefällt mir meist einer der Charaktere richtig gut und der zweite dann nicht ganz so. Hier waren aber beide einfach perfekt und passten auch noch klasse zusammen.
Die ganze Geschichte um die Schlitzer ist weiterhin angenehm spannend. Ich liebe die Reihe wirklich sehr und werde auch gleich mit dem nächsten Teil weiter machen.

the renegade hunter
i actually liked this book better than the last one,
the last one was kind of a start of a new series, or branch of the originials
and anyway,
so now that we are familiar with the characters, and they brought in some original family members too.
and like i said this book continued the story left off in the last book
so realistically you can't read this book without reading the previous one
and it was nice getting to know nicholas argeneau and josephine
chapter 18 was the BEST, jo standing up to lucian was very funny
also chapter 17 with jo confronting sam, was good too.
this book took a littler longer to read, because i kept getting distracted by other things
but it was good

I've been waiting for Nicholas' story and I wasn't disappointed. Behind any great vampire, there's a greater Lifemate!
Jo slapped Lucien... Nuff said!
Once a rogue hunter, always a rogue hunter; Even when you're a rogue yourself.... Or so he's labled. On the run, yet never too far from helping his fellow mates, he found his lifemate. Taking on the guilty conscience for fifty years, only Jo questioned the facts our lack thereof. Now all she need to do we convince everyone else....
This might take more then love but it's enough for Nicholas to stop running.
Now what....
