Drina Argenis is a rogue hunter. She has been many things as an
immortal. However, being a bodyguard/babysitter to a teenage vampire
is something new. But this time there is a perk to the job. The
other bodyguard/babysitter, Harper Stoyan, may be Drina’s
life mate. Where in the world is she going to find the time to pursue
Harper while constantly having to watch a sixteen-year-old girl
who is new to the immortal world, wants to run, and also has a rogue
vampire out to abduct her?
Harper, on the other hand, has already lost a life mate and has
no intention of ever having another one. He blames himself for the
death of her and refuses to take the chance that it might happen
again. He has resigned himself to the fact that he will live out
his life alone. But, then again, he has never met anyone like Drina
before. The longer he is around her, the closer he gets to her,
the more he gets to know her, the harder it becomes to keep his
hands off her.
Drina knew she had to step lightly with Harper. She had been warned
that he would not accept her as a life mate easily. But when Drina
almost dies from an attempted assassination, Harper once again must
make life altering decisions and face the death of his first life
mate.
The Reluctant Vampire is book fifteen in the Argeneau
series. I also reviewed the previous release, Hungry for You, for
MyShelf last year. The Reluctant Vampire is another great read.
The humor, the action, and the romance are great. You don’t
have to read previous releases of the series to catch up. Each book
stands on its own very well. Sands is great at letting you learn
each character’s background without taking away from the story.
Lovers of this series will eat it up. If you are new to it, you’ll
love it. I highly recommend it.
