The Rogue Hunter

Garrett Mortimer just knows that this assignment with his partner, Justin Bricker, is going to be a chore. They are headed to cottage country, north of Toronto, where the nearest living thing is probably an animal - not a human. How they are supposed to search for this rogue when they have a hard time just finding people? And when they get to their supposed cottage, they find that there is no power and therefore no blood supply and their neighbors seem to be a group of noisy sisters that enjoy drinking. Given all of this, Mortimer just knows that this assignment is going to be a chore from start to finish. But the last thing Mortimer expects is to find his life-mate, especially one that is the complete physical opposite of the life-mate he has always imagined. Samantha Willan is finally taking a vacation, but only because her sisters have hounded her and threatened bodily harm if she backs out. But when Sam gets to the cottage it proves to be just what the doctor ordered - lots of relaxation and no work induced stress. But when Sam meets their hunky neighbors she is thrilled, even as it brings up all her insecurities. However, Mortimer just brings out passion Sam never knew she was capable of feeling, but something this good has to have a catch, right? But will Sam be able to accept the truth of what Mortimer is? And will Mortimer be able to move past his fantasy life-mate and accept Sam who is the polar opposite? The Rogue Hunter tells the story of Mortimer, one of the council's enforcers and rogue hunters. As is expected of every Lynsay Sands this book is full of humor and physical mishaps that will entertain you while putting Mortimer and Sam through the wringer before they get their HEA. Mortimer is a dour man, who is pretty bored with life after eight hundred plus years but he keeps busy with his job and doesn't think about that. But when Mortimer meets Sam his world is turned upside down - all in ways that he resents until he gives into the pull of finding a life-mate. Sam is your typical workaholic and overachiever, which leaves her with no personal life outside of her professional achievements. As the story unfolds, Mortimer and Sam are revealed to be full of contradictions, but perfect for one another - if they give each other a chance and can overcome all the roadblocks mother-nature places in their path. In this book a door is opened into the larger world of immortals and how the "normal" half lives. The Rogue Hunter is a fun and funny book that is the equivalent of a great summer chick-flick - entertaining, goofy and of course, full of romance! Get yourself The Rogue Hunter when you are in the mood to laugh out loud and enjoy a light-hearted romance. Sabella Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

THE ROGUE HUNTER

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SERIES I EVER READ. I THINK IT WOULD MAKE A FANTASTIC SERIES FOR TV OR A MOVIE. WITH ALL THE TROUBLE IN THIS WORLD RIGHT NOW EVERYONE COULD USE SOME LAUGHTER. LYNSAY SANDS WRITES WITH A LOT OF SPIRIT AND AMUSEMENT. I'M 73 YEARS OLD AND I ACTUALLY SAT AND GIGGLED. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT I WAS NUTS. BUY IT AND FEEL GOOD AGAIN.

Absolutely fabulous!!!

Lynsay Sands is in fine form with this novel. Her trademark humor and great character development is apparent. Mortimer is horrified when he realises that Sam- a very skinny and clumsy human- is his lifemate. He's mental image of the perfect mate is Jessica Rabbit and is upset that he ends up with Olive Oyl. You meet another Argeneau family member and other possible heriones for future novels. If you love Lynsay Sands other works, this one will not disappoint.

The Rogue Hunter...a delightful beginning!

Lynsay Sands opens a new series within her famous Argeneau Novels with a light touch and her trademark humor, bringing to life a romantic comedy reminiscent of the early Argeneau books which captured the hearts and imaginations of her many readers! "The Rogue Hunter" The Rogue Hunter (Argeneau Vampires, Book 10)lays the foundation for the council enforcers who are The Rogue Hunters, those who investigate rogue immortals breaking the council laws and bring them to justice who also investigate those mortals who have discovered the hidden world of the immortal people to make sure all stays hidden! Garrett Mortimer is not overly thrilled to be headed to Canadian cottage country. Feeling his 800 years and a bit weary after the last hunt, duty and his boss, Lucian Argeneau, call upon him and his not 100 year old partner, Justin Bricker, to investigate what appears to be vampire bites on mortals. Based at the cottage of fellow rogue hunter, the intriguing Decker Argeneau Pimms, the two meet up with him to look into the situation. Mortimer and Decker find themselves slightly amused and indulgent of the younger Bricker, who hasn't yet lost so many of the appetites of life, and is sure there is nothing to find in the dark Canadian countryside except for the three pretty sisters next door! Samantha Willan is a sharp-witted, excellent, overworked attorney, who is also very thin and clumsy by nature, which isn't helped by a chronic ear infection. Her self-esteem has also been crushed almost as flat as her physical figure appears to be, by a recent ex-boyfriend envious of her career success. Concerned for her health, her two sisters drag her to the family cottage for a holiday, expecting her to take a full break from work, but not counting on the exasperating calls from her overbearing boss for favors while she is out of the office. All Sam is looking for is a little time to be with her sisters, practically the only family she has left. When the three enforcers and the three sisters meet, Mortimer is very dismayed to discover that instead of his dream girl, Jessica Rabbit, his life mate is Olive Oyl! How can it be possible that after so many years of waiting that Sam could be his life mate? Decker and Bricker convince him to get to know her, but Sam isn't looking for love or a life mate, even though her sisters think a little "fling" might be good for her! What follows is a series of mishaps between the potential life mates out in the world of Mother Nature...helping Mortimer discover that while his life mate isn't his dream girl...she may be something much better! At the same time, Sam discovers that not all in this world can be answered in legalese, but perhaps it can be answered with love. The Rogue Hunter is light and funny, with just the right amount of mystery and a surprise twist ending. Lynsay Sands leaves subtle clues leading us straight into the next book, "The Immortal Hunter" The Immortal Hunter: A Rogue Hunter Noveland waiting eagerly f

A Fun and Lively story.

Rogue Hunter the first of the spin-off series of Lynsay Sands Argeneau Series. Garret Mortimer and his fellow Rogue Hunters are sent to cottage country to look for a possible rogue immortal. When the men arrive at the small lake community they are pleasantly surprised by three young women next door spending time at the family cottage. As with all Ms Sands books there is lots of humor. Written in such a descriptive manor that you can just picture the story as it unfolds. When Mortimer first sees Sam a klutzy thin sporty looking girl, he has no idea why he is drawn to her. After all she is nothing like his dream girl. His dream girl is a "Jessica Rabbit" type after all. Sam is so not looking for a new man in her life. Her long time boyfriend had just dumped her for not being up to his standards. Granted there is not as much drama or mystery as in some of the series. But hey, I am a sucker for a good love story with some extremely funny near misses for our lovers to get together. So in my opinion it is a fun light hearted read! So read and ENJOY!
