Meant to Be Immortal audiobook

4 life mate fainting stars. Okay, first thing. I'm still kinda obsessed with learning that when life-mates have sex they pass out immediately after they have smexy time! Its technically that their orgasms are so incredible (which they always finish together because they can feel each other's pleasure) they basically faint. And supposedly in the first year their connection is so intense they might "faint" for hours after. I have several feelings are this. 1. I'm super fucking jealous. 2. I'm wondering how you get anything done in the first year if you are banging like bunnies and taking long power naps after. 3. I'm really, really, really jealous about all the things that comes with life-mate sex and the fact that I only get to have regular sex! You are too, don't fucking lie! Quick little honesty time - even though this is the 32nd (that is not a typo) book in this series, it is also only the 2nd book I have finish by Lynsay Sands and I'm definitely going back and reading more. Especially Decker and Bricker. This book entertained me from the first page. I wasn't expecting it to be on the slower burn side, but it was well worth the wait, because when these two caught fire, it was HOT AF!!I have not read a book with a guy like Mac in forever. He was not your typical alpha. He is a geeky alpha, who is kinda awkward and basically follows CJ around like a cute little puppy until he gets what he wants. Man, I have puppy fever so bad!! CJ is a hard ass, and not easy to crack. But once you hear about her past you will understand!! So Mac not being a Casanova is quite hilarious with this prickly heroine. And once Decker and Bricker come in, I spent so much time smiling and chuckling to myself that I was so surprised when the booked ended. And sad, honestly super sad. “I know, so you've heard of Casper the Friendly Ghost, right?” CJ's eyebrows rose, but she nodded. "He was a happy little ghost, not scary like the other ghosts?" CJ nodded slowly again. "Well, we're like that, only we're vampires, not ghosts. Happy Casper Vampires" - Bricker explaining to CJ about immortals Definitely add this book to your TBR list and grab it when it comes out. Even if you haven't picked up any other books from this series you won't be confused. But once you finish it, you will want to go back for sure, because I do!ARC kindly provided by NetGallery and Avon and Harper Voyager in exchange for an honest review.Instagram | My Blog | Facebook

Mac had just moved into the home he's renting and hasn't even finished unpacking when he smells smoke and knows there's a fire. Now being immortal means that it's hard to kill him but fire will definitely do the trick. He finds himself with only one way to stay alive until the fire department can get to him, but it's not gonna be pretty once he gets out. CJ is just getting into town to interview a police officer about a complaint against him when she gets recruited to go to the fire and investigate it because the the other police are busy on another case. She thinks she's just getting the run around again but goes to the fire and that's when things start to get weird. Mac is an immortal (think vampire) but they don't call themselves vampires because they are nice but they don't want humans to know they exist. So when Mac is hurt in the fire, he has to drink blood from several firefighters in order to heal. But that just makes CJ more curious about why he was being transported to the hospital and then they changed their minds and turned back. It was would have been easier to just wipe her mind of that and give her new memories but since he can't do that to her because she's his mate, he has to come up with a believable lie. Mac has just found his mate, but she's human and knows nothing about him or immortals and she's not interested in pursuing a relationship with him because of her past. So Mac has no choice but to make himself seem like there's a stalker after after him trying to kill him and he needs her to be his bodyguard. CJ tries everything she can to get away from him and out of this assignment but things just seem to pile up in her way every time she wants someone else to take his case so they end up spending a lot of time together. CJ has feelings for Mac and Mac wants to spend the rest of his life with her but it's not going to be easy to convince her of everything he has to tell her about him and his people. The truth comes out after they are both put in danger and now CJ has a choice to make. The romance and the mystery surrounding the fire and the officer with the complaint against him made this a very interesting book. I really like how everything came together and we get a couple of twists thrown in at just the right time.I've been reading this series for such a long time and the books are always so good. I love this series and plan on reading as many books as the author plans to write. Disclosure: I was give an eARC of this book via NetGalley but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I enjoyed reading this book since it pretty much started off with a bang. Mac and CJ were not your usual couple for this series, she went far out of her way to try to get him to leave her alone but that would have ruined a good story. She is at the same town as him quite by accident (or fate) investigating reports of a cop abusing his authority. The thing is you really get into this story and then it was like she got tired of writing and the solution to the mystery was pretty anti-climatic and the romance that he was working on never really got off the ground. All things considered I did stay up late reading it but was a bit disappointed in the ending since it felt kind of rushed but i will keep reading about these folks so I am far from being tired of them but she needs to put a bit more effort, I sure do miss those first 10 books or so that got me hooked on this series.

Hematologist Macon Argeneau knows that immortals like himself can still be killed and fire is especially dangerous for them. When his house is set on fire with him trapped inside, evidence points to arson. Mac can’t think of anyone who’d want to kill him, but he’s able to see the bright side in the whole mess when the lovely investigator on scene turns out to be a potential life mate for him.CJ Cummings is only in town to investigate a potential case of misconduct in the local police department but winds up being roped into going to the fire scene when the locals are shorthanded. She’s amazed that the wildly attractive scientist made it out unscathed and she’s sure he’s hiding something. She’d love to get to know him a bit better anyway, but she can’t afford a distraction from her work. But when it becomes apparent, he needs a bodyguard, Mac insists it must be her. When another attempt on their lives puts CJ in danger, their roles are reversed, and Mac is the one determined to keep her safe.I liked the premise of this book and Mac was a lovely hero. CJ was rather rigid and downright rude to Mac though her reasons made sense when they came out. Still, I wanted more time with her actually being nice to Mac and developing that relationship with him rather than most of that occurring off page and the reader being told about it later. I loved the scenes we did get in which CJ began to open up to and trust Mac and I especially enjoyed the scene when she learned about immortals and such. The villain aspect here had promise and I appreciated that law enforcement was shown respect and not painted with a broad brush. There was, however, a lot of potential here with the villain element that was lost and handled a bit nonsensically, only to pop up later and be given a very speedy resolution. The ending to that particular storyline felt rather abrupt, as did the conclusion of the book in general. I would’ve liked a bit more, perhaps an epilogue, to make things seem truly settled between Mac and CJ. Nonetheless, I loved how Mac had no real clue how to woo CJ and eventually she was the one who escalated their relationship. The help they received from other Argeneaus was also pretty hilarious to me. Though I wanted a bit more development of both the mystery and the romance, I thought this was a cute story and I enjoyed it.I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Blog link: https://mustreadalltheromance.blogspo...

I love these books they are so well written. They move along at a pace where don't get bored with the story and have sweet funny moments.CJ and Mac meet at a fire that was set with him inside and immediately he knows she's his life mate but finding the time and the right way to explain that before wooing her is difficult especially since he has been trying to heal being boiled alive in the fire. While that seems weird it is but it get quite comical at times and is a sweet story. You'll love it. I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely adore Lynsay Sands! This is another great read. I laughed out loud several times. One of my favorite character Bricker is in this one which is amazing! Definitely a must read for the immortal lovers!

Great story. A strong female cop C.J. and Mac are destined to be lifemates. There is lots of suspense & mystery and Mac & C.J. have a lovely & steamy romance prior to her realizing Mac is an immortal. A fun & quick read.

**I received the this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.**I quite enjoyed this slow-burn vampire romance. Mac and CJ built a relationship before they acted upon their attraction for each other, which I liked. I would definitely not consider this romance novel an insta-love story. They first mutually respected each other before they fell in love (but it does get quite steamy toward the end!). I also enjoyed the whole “big family” aura surrounding this book. I came to realize—as more and more vampire characters popped up—that other books had been written about these other vampires first. But I quite enjoyed the colorful cast and the protectiveness and love this clan of vampires felt for each other. I did not realize this was #32 in a series. Even though this book was one in a series, though, it can be read as a standalone, as I understood everything clearly. I felt as though the actual plot of the book was a bit slow, but I didn’t mind it too much. I don’t much like romances with mysteries thrown in and much prefer a mystery with a bit of romance. I feel as though the latter does a far better job at developing the plot and the romance than the former, simply because romance authors haven’t dealt in the medium of mystery all that much, and can’t always pull it off. But this is simply my personal opinion. **Slight Spoiler** The one thing that I felt did not match the tone of the book was Mac realizing that CJ was his mate. He didn’t seem excited or even surprised, even though he had been waiting for her for literally hundreds of years. End of Slight Spoiler** Overall, I quite enjoyed the character development, this crazy family of vampires, and the relationship between Mac and CJ. I would definitely read another installment in this series. **I received the this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.**

The book starts with a fire and gets hotter from there. Immortal Mac meets internal affairs cop CJ after his newly rented home burns down with him in it. There are immediate sparks between the two but CJ is reluctant to start anything because of her troubled past. This book has so many swoon worthy moments. This is another great addition to this series.I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Fun read. Review will be posted closer to release date in April 2021.

“After 30+ novels in the Argeneau series, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Lynsay Sands can continuously come up with new scenarios while seamlessly interweaving new and past characters into her immortal world”~ Under the CoversIn the 32nd novel set in her world of immortals, Lynsay Sands delivers a plot both new and familiar for fans of her long-running series. Macon “Mac” Argeneau just moved to Canada in search of a quiet place to do his research. But his first day in his new house ends in a blaze as the house goes up in smoke with him trapped inside. Fans of the series will know that flames are a sure-fire way to kill an immortal; luckily, the local fire department arrives in time with a very interesting investigator in tow, waking up feelings that Mac hasn’t felt in years. CJ Cummings was only in town to interview the local police department, but before she can get settled she’s sent to help out an arson case – one with a very nice looking, if strange, victim. At first, CJ just wants to do her job and leave Mac to the local authorities. But when another attack happens, CJ is forced to stay a while longer, giving Mac time to woo and claim CJ as his life mate before she walks out of his life for good.After 30+ novels in the Argeneau series, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Lynsay Sands can continuously come up with new scenarios while seamlessly interweaving new and past characters into her immortal world. In Meant to Be Immortal the male protagonist may be new to us, but Mac has direct ties to several fan favorite characters that readers will be delighted to see make return appearances. Sands also found yet another way for life mates to stumble into each other’s paths, which, surprisingly, hasn’t gotten monotonous after thirty iterations. Of course, as in any romance, Mac and CJ have their problems to work through and there is internal and external conflict galore throughout the novel.Readers can expect the same familiar formula they’ve seen in the previous Argeneau books: immortal and mortal meet, immortal realizes they’re life mates, one of them (or both) resists, both mortal and immortal end up happily together. Also not missing from Meant to Be Immortal is Lynsay Sands’ usual wit and humor; even in the most dire of circumstances her characters find a way to inject humor or sarcasm into the scene. The Argeneau series is full of stories that combine the paranormal with romance and action, and Meant to Be Immortal is no different. Having prior knowledge of the series is recommended; while previous books always gave a full immortal history lesson, new readers to the series may be confused by the limited background provided in this book. Long-time fans of the Argeneau series will enjoy meeting new characters, revisiting past ones, and seeing series plotlines progress. And, as in any of her books, Sands knows how to write a steamy scene that will keep readers turning the page. Meant to Be Immortal was a great paranormal romance read, but should definitely not be attempted as a standalone.

Dies ist nun schon Band 32 von meiner längsten Lieblingsreihe. Ich liebe es die altbekannten Charaktere wieder zu treffen und mitzuerleben wie sich wieder ein Paar findet.In diesem Band geht es um Mac Argeneau und CJ Cummings. Am Anfang des Buches brennt Macs momentane Bleibe samt ihm mittendrin ab. Feuer ist ja eines der Dinge, das Unsterblichen durchaus sehr gefährlich werden kann und so wird es wirklich sehr brenzlich für ihn. CJ ist eine Ermittlerin und kommt genau zu dem Zeitpunkt des Brandes in die Stadt, um einen Fall von eventueller Verschleierung oder Amtsmissbrauch bei der örtlichen Polizei zu untersuchen und gelangt so auch an den Brand-Tatort. Dort treffen die beiden dann auch zum ersten mal auf einander und bleiben auf Grund bestimmter Umstände aneinander hängen. Ich möchte hier nicht zu viel sagen, da das die wenige Spannung ausmacht, die der Band enthält und viele Leser brauchen ja etwas Spannung in ihren Büchern. Man hat also die ganze Zeit immer die Frage um den Brandstifter und nebenbei noch die Ermittlungen um den eventuell korrupten Polizisten. Für mich als Spannungs-Allergiker war das genau die Dosis, die für mich super angenehm ist. Anfangs war ich noch skeptisch, weil alles etwas sehr flau anlief zwischen CJ und Mac. Alles war zu einfach, zu easy going. Es gab kein richtiges Drama und keine Auf und Abs. Trotzdem habe ich es dann doch wieder sehr genossen. Für mich passen einfach die Pärchen der Autorin immer sehr zusammen. Was ich aber immer am meisten genieße, ist es wenn die Bände viele Platz für bereits bekannte Charaktere bieten und das hat dieser Band wieder gemacht. Fast das ganze Buch über waren alt bekannte und sehr geliebte Charaktere immer an der Seite von Mac und CJ und das habe ich unglaublich genossen. Ich liebe die Art wie die Unsterblichen miteinander umgehen. Einige necken sich so unglaublich witzig, andere sind so liebevoll und beschützend zueinander, es ist einfach nur herrlich. Ich liebe sie alle und fühle mich jedes mal sehr wohl beim lesen bzw. hören. Ich liebe vor allem die Hörbuchfassungen und möchte sie auf keinen Fall missen. Christiane Marx ist eine tolle Sprecherin und gehört für mich einfach zu dieser Reihe.Story 4,6/5Charaktere 4,6/5Schreibstil 5,0/5Wohlfühlfaktor 5+/5Gesamt 4,6/5
