About this audiobook

New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands returns in this latest chapter of the Argeneau series with an immortal who is having a bit of bad luck while trying to woo his life mate...

Alasdair MacKenzie has never once considered himself unlucky in all the centuries he’s been an immortal rogue enforcer. Not until he meets Sophie. Finding the beautiful, smart, and funny woman who is his life mate is great luck, actually. But meeting her at a wedding full of Argeneaus, not to mention his own busybody uncles determined to “help him claim his woman,” is bad luck. And the fact that Sophie is someone else’s date? Well that’s just the next level of unlucky.

From the way her gaze travels over his body like a caress to the electric zing whenever they innocently touch...he wants her for all eternity! He’ll keep his hands off Sophie until her date is over. After that all bets are off and he’ll pull out all the stops to win her. Great plan—until he gets hit by a car. And then he’s poisoned. Is his luck that bad, or is someone out to stop this immortal from claiming Sophie as his life mate? 

Ratings and reviews

This one caught me by surprise as I had fairly low expectations, but I ended up really enjoying the story. And I am very critical. I like that the story is focused on the relationship and doesn't try to delve into anything too big and complicated, so you don't have to keep track of characters or shemes. Just sit back and enjoy the story. I had to knock off a star because describing people as exotic isn't where its at. You can just say she looks asian.

It's ehh. First half the book is slow. A little predictable and kinda cringey. Alistair is a fairly weak character for being a main character. Narrator did pretty good, although there were brief moments she had Alistairs Scottish accent more Russian sounding instead.

This book was fantastic! It had my laughing, tearing up, and rooting for them all the way. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
