FINALLY! When it comes to this series, I am a serious stalker of the author's website. I check weekly, if not daily, to see if there is any news about this series! When the announcement about this book came out, I was doing a happy dance! Wait, you are here for a review and not my excitement. Sorry.Armand is the father of Thomas, Nicholas and Jeanne Louise. We have met each of them in previous books and the focus of this story is clearing Armand of murder while proving Nicholas is also innocent of his crimes. While Lucian sends Eshe out to Armand's home under the pretense of Armand hiding her out from the bad guys, we also discover that Eshe is actually there to look into the murders of Armand's previous wives. It turns into a mystery of finding out the truth, with romance and witty dialogue along the way!I loved this book in the series. While I am not a huge fan of the character of Eshe, this book really let her shine and bring Armand into a story of his own. We had the suspense that the author is great at writing, but the important part is she didn't fail on the romance and witty humor that she is also known for! Imagine not eating for centuries and trying to figure out what a can of whipped cream is and how it works! Then imagine looking at a bottle of Metamucil for the first time and seeing a pretty picture on the front thinking it would be yummy! Of course, what makes the humor even better is Bricker trying to explain these things to both of them! I personally can't wait for Bricker's story and I keep begging Ms. Sands to use me as Bricker's life mate!The suspense was perfectly paced with surprises all throughout the book. The author keeps you guessing at who the true murderer is and kept leading me in different directions. Yet when all is revealed, I was still surprised and loved how it played out.If you haven't read any of The Argeneau series yet, you must sink your teeth into them as soon as possible! Then when you do, I can guarantee that you will be a series stalker just like me! Well done again Ms. Sands for bringing me another wonderful Argeneau book! Just remember me when you do Bricker's story!

I really was touched my Armond's situation and I admired Eshe for her strength and courage. Eshe being the main one. Super hot, African-American, strong both body and mind and equal to the men since she is an enforcers. I have been wanting to know about the mysterious Armand Argeneau since I started reading this series. I pondered is he a murderer or does he just have really bad luck with women. Each time he falls in love and is blessed with a child each of his wives die in mysterious accident... Born to Bite follows up the story in The Renegade Hunter (book 12) and is all about clearing Nicholas Argeneau's name. I loved Eshe... she's one of the 2 female enforcers and is a tough girl with a mind of her own, a positive attitude and she doesn't take shit from anyone. She is sent to investigate Armand Argeneau to find the proof that Nicholas is innocent. Someone had killed Armand's first lifemate and his two wives. They had framed Armand's son, Nicholas for the murder of a mortal woman and killed his lifemate, as well. In order to prevent Nicholas from being executed of a crime he didn't commit, Lucien sent his enforcer Eshe, to investigate and discover the truth. Interestingly enough, Armand and Eshe were lifemates.Well when I first started this book I thought it was 3 stars may be 3.5 at most but the more I kept reading the better it got. In the end I had tears in my eyes and had a damn hard time seeing through them. It was a very good read. This Series gets better with each book! There are several things I really love about this book. OK, I have to tell you I am such a die hard Argeneau fan... Born to Bite was full of suspence and I had absolutely no clue who the murderer was untill the very end. I really enjoyed this book. It has some great page-turning parts, the humor, the contradictions, the characters are great, and the steamy scenes are good too. I really liked the characteristics of the female lead, she had spunk, humor, and acceptance in a perfect amount. I would definitely like to be more like that.

First I must say I have not read any previous books in this series. It was very easy to identify the characters and get involved with the story. A beautiful, smart vampire named Eshe is sent undercover to investigate the mysterious, but seemingly accidental deaths, of 3 wives of a well known vampire named Armand. She is a enforcer, a vampire trained to hunt rogue vampires. Eshe is torn between her growing feelings toward Armand, and the possibility that he could be a murderer. If he isn't than she must figure out who is. The two of them, plus their very likeable companions must solve this, before someone else gets murdered.I really liked these characters. They were well rounded, intelligent and interacted well with each other.The plot was an interesting mix of mystery, romance and vampires. It was nice to see the relationship develop as the mystery evolved and brought the two of them closer.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes vampires,romance and mysteries.

Well when I first started this book I thought it was 3 stars may be 3.5 at most but the more I kept reading the better it got. In the end I had tears in my eyes and had a damn hard time seeing through them. It was a very good read. I really was touched my Armond's situation and I admired Eshe for her strength and courage. She believed in Armond and she proofed to be a woman of worth.Recommend this book.I look forward to Alex and Cale's story.

This Series gets better with each book!Description:Legend has it that Armand Argeneau is a killer in the bedroom . . .But with all three of his late wives meeting unfortunate and untimely ends, is this sexy immortal a lover or a murderer? That's what Eshe d'Aureus intends to find out. As an enforcer, it's her job to bring rogue vampires to justice, even if the rogue in question makes her blood race red hot.Armand knew she was trouble the moment Eshe roared into town on her motorcycle, clad in tight black leather. She claims she's hiding from dangerous fiends, though he suspects something more. But after three wives who've all had trouble remaining, well, undead, Armand is reluctant to open his heart again. Then strange accidents start to happen, each deadlier than the last, and Armand realizes he may not have much time to prove he's a lover, not a slayer.My Thoughts:There are several things I really love about this book. Eshe being the main one. Super hot, African-American, strong both body and mind and equal to the men since she is an enforcers. Even though she falls in love in this book. She never gets wishy washy she keeps her personality in tact. She totally Rocked! I also really liked Armand, he was a strong tough Immortal with a caring side. Not a soft side but a caring side there is nothing soft about Armin. Both main characters are good multi dimensional characters. The supporting characters all had their own personalities and I loved seeing characters come back from other books. Bricker slays me, he is soooo funny and I just can't wait for his story. He is like a big, masculine, tough cupid. Just a wonderful character. The plots in this series get better and move quicker with each book. This one had a very intricate story line, had some history to it and depth. My 2 main issues is like a lot of the books in this series ends a bit abruptly with very little going on after the resolution. I just felt like I was hanging a bit. Even though it was a good epilogue..for some reason...I felt cheated..The second issue is that I didn't really feel the chemistry between Eshe and Armand..yes there was sex scenes but not sizzling..the emotional connection just didn't seem to be there. Oveall Liked the book and gave it a 4 star rating, on to the next one:)

Armand Argeneau has, basically, withdrawn from those he loves after the death of his third wife. After growing suspicious about the deaths of Armand's wives, Lucian, Armand's brother, sends Eshe d'Aureus, one of his enforcers to investigate. Unfortunately, Eshe discoveries that Armand is her life mate, but can she trust him? BORN TO BITE is a very enjoyable, paranormal romance with several amusing scenes and an intriguing mystery. Ms. Sands' trademark humor is evidenced throughout the book. I, particularly, liked the scenes with Bricker, who really livened everything up. Hopefully, he will get his own book. Armand and Eshe are a combustible combination, and I enjoyed the fact that Eshe is no shrinking violet. The mystery surrounding the deaths kept me guessing until near the very end. BORN TO BITE is a great addition to the Argeneau series.

Fantastic edition to Lynsay Sands "Argeneau" series. Armand Argeneau has been a character surrounded by mystery and intrigue. I was never quite sure if he was a "good guy" or not. This book answers that question and many more. Excellent story, excellent mystery, just an all around fantastic book. Read it while the kids were at school with time to spare...

I love Lynsay Sands books, they are easy reads with suspense and plenty of humor. They have a good bit of sex. Perhaps not as hot as Black Dagger Brotherhood or Cat and Bones for example, but good. I really like they way she's tweaked the stories and brought in new characters.

4 von 5 SternenDer Band war wieder interessant und angenehm spannend. Allerdings mag ich sehr selbstbewusste Protagonistinnen nicht (ja ich weiß, dass geht vielen anders) und daher hatte ich mit Eshe doch das ein oder andere Problem. Sie war mir nicht unsympathisch (ganz und gar nicht) aber die Liebesgeschichte konnte mich hier einfach nicht so packen.Die Anschläge, die mysteriösen Todesfälle (Frauen des männlichen Protagonisten - Armand) und das Suchen nach dem Mörder war für mich wieder sehr angenehm und nicht zu spannend oder gar nervenaufreibend beschrieben. Einfach perfekt.Ich bin gespannt wie es weiter geht.

** spoiler alert ** Someone had killed Armand's first lifemate and his two wives. They had framed Armand's son, Nicholas for the murder of a mortal woman and killed his lifemate, as well. In order to prevent Nicholas from being executed of a crime he didn't commit, Lucien sent his enforcer Eshe, to investigate and discover the truth. Interestingly enough, Armand and Eshe were lifemates. I was first introduced to Eshe in The Immortal Hunter. She was wild and rebellious, I liked her fire. Then, when she made her first appearence in Born to Bite, I saw that fire again, but it was quickly diminished as the story continued. I am not sure, if it was because of Armand, but he did have a tendency, to suck all the fun out of the book. I had a hard time believing, he was a member of the Argeneau family. While he might have been described as the most handsome, he lacked the charisma, that the men in the family had. In fact, he lacked substance and depth. Not to mention, I learned more about his dead lifemate and wives, than I did about him. I found it hard, to have any kind of emotional connection, with both Eshe and Armand. I felt that both characters were under developed. While, it was obvious, they had a connection being lifemates, I just didn't feel the sizzle or the romantic essence of the relationship. I also felt, the author should have utilized Eshes wild side, especially while visiting a small town. I can only begin to imagine, the fun she could have had with it. But, even the supporting characters came off a bit humdrum. The only saving grace was the appearance of Bricker. I loved Bricker's care free wit and charming personality. I did think the plot was good. I was looking forward to the final revelation, as to who was behind all the murders and I wasn't disappointed. I even liked how the investigaton slowly progressed, as Eshe began to put the pieces of the puzzle together. What I didn't like, was how dense Armand seemed to be. I also didn't like, the fact that, the author didn't have the family more involved, especially considering, there were a couple private detectives in the family. Overall, I really wanted to love this book, but this book felt out of place within the series. While the plot was good, the essence of family was missing. As I mentioned before, this series centered on members of the Argeneau family and not so much the plot. But, this book didn't. My joy in reading this series, had always been, how the family united when things got tough. I loved the charm, the wit, and the love that came, when they all connected. Sadly, I didn't feel that connection in this book. I couldn't seem to engage with the characters and I couldn't seem to feel the romantic tingle. I might have got my revelation with the murders and answeres to some lingering questions, but I didn't get my satisfaction with the wit and charm or the romantic love story, that I have come to love with this series. Hopefully, the next book will have the essence, of what I have come to believe, the series to be about.
