I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley for an honest review.

I love the Argeneau series! The characters and storyline are always well developed. Beth has sported a crush for a long time. Beth is Scotty's life mate. Now throw in a mystery of someone trying to kill Beth. This throws Scotty and her together and he cannot ignore it any longer. He must claim her. I love the humor that is always in a Lynsay Sands book. If you have not started any of the Argeneau series, I urge you to do so. I recommend this book to everyone. I give Immortally Yours 5/5 stars.

Another excellent installment in this always-fabulous series by Ms Sands. I'm always looking forward to the the next one! :)

I risk repeating myself.

Lynsay Sands has been writing the Argeneau series since I first started reading paranormal romance -- in fact, my Navy roommate let me read Sherrilyn Kenyon's Fantasy Lover, and the next day I went out and bought a ton of like books, of which Single White Vampire was one. I've kept up with the series ever since, and one of the main aspects of the books that keep me coming back is that I largely don't know what to expect. Will it be a thriller like Immortal Hunter? A romantic comedy like Once in a Vampire Moon? A drama that cracks open the series like Vampire, Interrupted? There's always a mystery, but there are different shades of darkness to the books. Immortal Unchained, the book before this one, was an Island of Dr Moreau type horror romantic comedy.

This one, Immortally Yours, was dark and funny and romantic and more emotionally complex than some of the others. I would put it up there ALMOST with Vampire Most Wanted. It's runner up to Vampire Most Wanted in Darkest Backstory in an Argeneau category. And Lynsay Sands has given the couple an interesting romantic background as well.

All in all, I would say that Sands continues to write fun and refreshing and dark and wonderful stories about the Argeneaus. I can't wait for Twice Bitten!

Wow well I wasn't expecting this! This book is part of a very long running series that for this reader is hit or miss. Why? Well truthfully they never really feel that 'paranormal ' to me and actually feel much more like a contemporary romance that usually has some suspense or even angst it. I'd originally purchased the first six in paperback as I'd seen so many recommendations and then I fell out of love with these stories and wanted something with more atmosphere and bite! Yet I've continued dipping in and actually was quite impressed with the recent mad scientist idea but alas this book isn't really carrying that idea forward but instead gives readers established immortals who really need to sit down and have a conversation!
It was fun meeting Scotty and a few of his fellow uk enforcers although admittedly at times his accent did grate on me. He's been a tad naughty and kept a secret from Beth that is finally about to come out. You would expect Beth to be overjoyed to finally have her own life mate but as she's always thought he disliked her and constantly tried to stop her being the person she wants to be you just know that Scotty has an awful lot of explaining to do. Here is where the author really hooked me as this couple have both previously had life experiences that have helped to shape them and there is no quick and easy solution but instead an awful lot of honesty and awakening. Yes there's quite a lot going on around this couple and I loved the newer Russian contingent that are introduced but please can we have the mystery man who turned Scotty as I'm pretty sure he has a story to tell. Bottom line I really enjoyed this story and happily recommend to others
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

really liked it

Beth Argenis first met Cullen “Scotty” MacDonald 125 years ago after she was turned in the most horrific of circumstances .
Beth has managed to turn her life around and now acts as a Hunter ...... finally putting her past behind her .
Scotty has secretly had Beth followed for years in attempt to keep her safe BUT after an attempt on her life he decides that now is the time he needs to be by her side ...........for she is his 'life mate' .
Several more attempts are made .....but who by and why ?
Beth and Scotty find their attraction explosive and he tells her that he is her lifemate .
But whilst Beth has come to terms with her past Scotty has not !!!!! He cannot get past the fact that she had been a prostitute before turning ......... his mother's influence on his life is profound ..........unless he can come to terms with Beth's past he will lose her because Beth will not accept him unless he accepts all of her .

This was another entertaining book by the Author , making me laugh and cry especially at moments of shear absurdity - e.g. the fainting after sex . I can't wait for the next offering in this series which goes from strength to strength .

When I made my change over to Kindle, this was one of the 3-4 series I had in paperback that I kept. Those first 8-10 books were amazing, funny, and just plain entertaining. The series has never reached that level again sadly for me.

This was another Rogue Hunter novel and the romance was more frustrating than interesting, the mystery was done well and I only figured it out shortly before we knew who it was but the main thing here is that it was a decent 4 Star novel, for awhile there I was sure it was going to drop to 3 but it did pick up a bit but still nothing like those first books I loved.

The romance was confusing and frustrating most of the book, the mystery was done well in that there were not any real TSTL moments. Really it could have been another series altogether it was so disjointed from those early books.

Bottom Line: It was good, it was entertaining but not exceptionally so and it was nothing like those laugh out loud books that hooked me into this series. 4 Stars for a good story and keeping the "whodunnit" until the end.

Another wonderful book in a great series. This book is centered around Rogue Hunter Beth, and her lifemate Scotty. I really enjoyed these two together, especially when I wanted to smack Scotty upside the head, and Beth gets to do that for me. I did figure out about halfway through the book who is the one trying to kill Beth, but did not distract me from the story. Scotty and Beth both had issues to overcome, and a lot of pain of the past to get over to find their HEA, but that was part of the fun of the book. Great book, great series and great author. If you haven't read any other in the series I do not think you will be lost, but I highly recommend you check them out as well. I eagerly await this author's next story in the series. Maybe Donnie's?
