    About this ebook

    After seven hundred years of life, Marguerite Argeneau finally has a career. Well, the start of one, anyway. She's training to be a private investigator, and her first assignment is to find an immortal's mother. It seemed simple enough, until Marguerite wakes up one evening to find herself at the wrong end of a sword. Now she realizes she's in way over her head.

    Julius Notte wants to protect Marguerite, and not because someone just tried to take her head off. She doesn't know it yet, but she's his lifemate and he's determined to woo her. It's been over five hundred years since he last courted a woman, but surely the techniques haven't changed. Now if only he can keep her alive—so to speak—so they can have that happily-ever-after.

      Marguerite. I'm happy that the matriarch of the family gets her own story
    • 3/5
      not one of my favorites in this series, dont really are for the narration on the audio version
    • 5/5
      Another great installment of the Argeneau series. This can definitely be read as a standalone, but is much more enjoyable if you read it after book 8 (at least).
    • 3/5
      I wanted to read Marguerite's book ever since I met her. After 700 years of misery she deserved to find her life-mate and have her HEA. And now I finally got to see her find it and it was fun.


      What Sands does best is making the books light, all while making them exciting and passionate. In this one Marguerite is trying to find a woman and someone does not want that do happen. Even as someone is trying to kill her there is still that lightness over the book and I like that. I also like that the books feel safe, and I always enjoy them. You can't go wrong with the Argenau vampire books.


      Marguerite is a 700 old immortal who was turned by her Immortal Atlantis husband and he was a creep. She has taken care of her children and nieces and nephews. She loves her family and I always did like her. The hero is Julius Notte, an Immortal who does not want his son to find his mother. Some things are better left unsaid. At first it did annoy me, but trust me, he did all the right things. And these two are meant to be. As always there is a struggle cos poor Marguerite does not want anyone controlling her. But what would a book be without a bit of struggle.


      The book was all that I wanted it to be, and it was actually more. I was so surprised at something and I went omg. The other big thing is that for the first time I also felt sorry for Marguerite's dead husband Jean Claude, and that was something I never thought would happen. This book was all surprises.


      Conclusion:

      Light and passionate. Lynsay Sands books are perfect when you just want to relax and be swept away. I read it in no time at all and as there is a big family tree there is always more to look forward to.
    • 5/5
      The Countess is the first in the Madison Sisters series by Lynsay Sands. I have loved her vampire series, and I have enjoyed a few of her historical, and the minute that I saw this book in the store, I knew I had to buy it, for the cover and blurb sold me, and I don't regret it. I don't get the chance to buy many books because of my budget, but I decided it was time to treat myself, and The Countess is definitely going to be a re read for sure. From the first page I fell in love with Christiana, she had such a vibrant personality and I couldn't help but be drawn to her. I also loved the interaction between Christiana and Richard, there were so many times that I laughed especially at the beginning, with the way these two circled each other, it was very entertaining to say the least. The Countess overall was a enjoyable read, with a perfect mix of chemistry and a bit of a mystery, that kept this reader on the edge of her seat. I truly fell in love with Richard and Christiana, and looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I hope its just as a enjoyable ride as the Countess has been!!This is the second time that I have read Vampire Interrupted, however that was a couple years ago when the book first came out, and Marguerite has always been one of my favorites to read throughout the series, and her book is exhilarating. A stimulating road with unstoppable action, delectable characters and a story that will take you down the road of danger, intrigue, blazing passion and a powerful love story, a story that will take your breath away when the unexpected happens, and a Delicious story that will have you feasting from the first page....A Five grade on this one!!!

    • 3/5
      This was good but lacked some of the fun some of the other Argeneau books have. The back story was pretty entertaining but the romance was only OK.
    • 3/5
      Great story... to bad they spoiled us:I was overjoyed when Lynsay Sands released so many new books in a row. I love reading about the Argeneau vampires, and each book makes me love the characters even more. I was even happier when they began putting family trees in the front. It's so much easier to refer to them every once in awhile to find out which vampires are related and how. Then I got this book. I flipped to the family tree as a refresher before reading. Big Mistake. Doing that completely spoiled the book for me. I speak not of the fact that Marguerite is lifemates with Julius Notte. That was pretty much a given. I'm talking about who Christian's mother is. The family tree reveals the answer that the reader wouldn't normally find out until about half way through; and even when that happens the reader is still slightly confused. I read it, and my jaw dropped as I quickly tried to come up with possibilities. Instead of finding out things along with the characters, as we normally do, I was way ahead, and it sucked. I honestly liked this story, but it would have been so much better it it had remained unspoiled. We haven't seen much about Marguerite's love life, so it was great to see it now. I also enjoyed the bit with Lucian at the end. It was something I guessed but nonetheless a nice addition to the story. To sum up, Lynsay Sands: Kudos to the family tree idea, but in this case, you blew it.

      Marguerite Argeneau, in her new role as a private detective, has been asked by Christian Nott to help him find his mother. His father Julius, for his own reasons, won't tell Christian who his mother is.The trip takes her and her assistant Tiny to London, York and to Italy. Someone is trying to kill Marguerite for some unknown reason.This book is happening the same time as the 8th book when Marguerite's nephew Thomas goes to London looking for her and Tiny.For me there were a few surprises and I thought it was a good read.
    • 5/5
      If you've been waiting for Marguerite's story, this is it. It certainly cleared up some questions I've had about this character. Why did she marry Jean Claude in the first place? Why did she stay with him so long? If you haven't been following this series, you may not enjoy this book as much as I did. The series begins with Single White Vampire. If you like Sookie Stackhouse and Queen Betsy, then don't miss this series...
    • 4/5
      Sometimes you just wish the males in these stories would engage brains before engaging fists. The chest beating dominance that they all seem incapable of avoiding must leave huge bruising.However, it's a very readable series, I do enjoy the romances that are created and this one is quite interesting. This is Marguerite's story, where she learns things about her past that aren't comfortable and discovers what love can really be about. The story overlaps with Vampires are Forever but should be really read after as the end of this story would somewhat spoil Vampries are Forever (though it is pretty formulaic romance and the relationships are well-flagged, it's the journey that counts here)I have to wonder how all the manipulation wasn't noticed over the years and what stopped some of the females from standing up more for themselves, particularly in the twentieth century.
    • 4/5
      So glad to finally get all of Marguerite's story and her story is surprising. Totally did not see some things coming. That is what I liked best in this book. There were a lot of surprises and it made the series feel fresh again despite being book 9. The usual humor and romance are present. It made for a nice mix. The author introduced some new characters and some familiar ones returned for this story. There is a lot of places for the series to go and I am excited to read the next book.
    • 4/5
      All Praise the matriarch of the Argeneau clan! Marguerite is quick-witted and quite feisty. There is also an unnoticed softness to her. She so deserved to find her happiness even if was after so many years. The torment she had been through in her life to be reunited with true love was greatly a pleasure to read. I hope to find that she returns in future chapters of the series as she really is wonderful.
