These are fun books to read. I love the whole craziness when they find their mates. For some reason I always giggle when they talk about popping the blood bags on their fangs thinking about the visual.

I still remember the first book because it was SO different how she had a blood phobia lol. So great. I might re-read that one.
I love these books. One of my friends got me into them. Loaned me the whole series. Her latest book comes out Tues (11/30). I may have to borrow them off my friend again so I can do a reread of the whole series. What's everyone's favorite book of the series??
There are a lot of good ones but I think my favorite is Single White Vampire . I laughed so hard reading it that my husband came in to check on me.
I have really enjoyed these books. I still have to read Single White Vampire, Tall, Dark & Hungry and of course Hungry for You before I will have read the whole series. Overall I think my favorite thus far has been The Accidental Vampire. I couldn't stop giggling while reading it and I definitely got a few stares due to it.
Very good humorous paranormal romance series. Great beach reads! I like all the family dynamics and the matchmaking aunt Margarite (sp)
Just over half way through
and for once I can't tell who the bad guy is. Assuming of course, that it isn't the most obvious person. This is almost unheard of. Enjoying it so far.
I'm reading
for a bunch of Dec challenges. Up until now, I've only read A Quick Bite and liked it ok. I'm jumping ahead to fill several challenge slots. But, I'm enjoying this one so far, more than #1.
I finished
Vampires Are Forever
. While this series is not my favorite PNR, I do find her writing (in the series) to be light and funny. They have been quick reads and offer something different (Vamp/Immortals who are Atlantians), so I'm sure I'll continue to read on in the series. Read 12/2/10 3.5★
Forgot to come back & post, silly me. OK finished A Bite to Remember on 2/12/10 4★ Short review:
Vincent Argeneau, actor, director, production company owner is being sabotaged. He needs help. His cousin Bastien sends PI Jackie Morrisey, a mortal who knows all about vamps, to investigate.
Whilst they figure its an inside job, they are still no closer to discovering who has it in for Vincent. The sabotage incidents become increasingly dangerous, resulting in the death and turning of Stephano, one of Vincents VPs.
Stephano's family arrive to assist, and luckily they are all vamps already, Stephano being the odd one out.
Eventually the perpertrator is discovered and the reasons uncovered. HEA ensues.
I read A Quick Bite a couple of years ago, having heard really good things about this series, but I just couldn't get into it. The humor didn't work for me and I was left completely ambivalent about the characters. Possibly it suffers from first book syndrome and other books in the series are really enjoyable, but I've never gone back. Can anyone recommend a really good book in the series that might be worth me reading if I wanted to give the series a second chance?
I think I know pretty much the whole family tree now :) I read "A Bite to remember" first - then A Quick Bite - then went from there. I thought it was really funny. I love the humor in these books! I love reading series of books with different characters - but still relate to the earlier characters. Lindsy Sands really did a good job on letting these books flow from one to another. Even her short story one in her Valentine's book .. Bitten by Cupid was awesome :) I think I have a few more to read though. I think I stopped at 8 :)

My two favorites in the series are Single White Vampire and The Accidental Vampire.
I saw the newest book Hungry for You in BN last night. I tried to get it from my library for this challenge but it's not available yet.If I can get it, I will definitely be reading it this month.
I just read the newest book. I enjoyed it. I love these even though they're very formulaic and they tend to blend together after a while.

I am seriously going to have to take a look at this series it looks amazing. Something fun and light inbetween the heavy stuff is always good.
