I fell in love with Lynsay Sands' Argeneau Vampire series because these vampires, despite obscene wealth are down to earth. AND, Lynsay gives the absolute best explanation for vampirism ever, ever, ever (nanotechnology!).
Here is a note from her March newsletter on her next book: UNDER A VAMPIRE MOON out in April:
The next book scheduled to be released in late April is the sixteenth installment in the Argeneau series called Under A Vampire Moon.
It's Marguerite's son, Christian Notte's turn. I had a lot
of fun writing his story as we got to meet more of the Notte family and
see Christian work his magic on the violin and Caro.

I vacationed in St. Lucia, where Under A Vampire Moon
takes place, with my sisters a few years ago. The people were amazingly
nice and the waitstaff and drivers were all very sweet. We had a great
time. And if you read this book then I will say this... I wasn't
exaggerating about the steepness of those hills to the villas. I was
always pleasantly relieved every time our van successfully dropped us
off without rolling backwards or toppling over in a particularly steep
area. I swear if you slipped and started to roll end over end down those
inclines there would be nothing to slow you down except perhaps a
tourist or two... and possibly a van. The one pro to the hills was if
you made it all the way up to your villa on your own two feet without
having a heat stroke or rolling back down again , you would have worked
off any calories you ingested that day. If you have the opportunity to
go away on vacation this year and you want to visit someplace warm and
friendly then I'd recommend it.

Thanks for the travel tip. My husband and I are looking for a super romantic place to spend our thirtieth anniversary.
Anyone out there other than Lynsay been to St. Lucia? Anyone other ideas for romantic anniversary vacations?
And from her website the synopsis and a note.
Christian Notte's story, the sixteenth book in the Argeneau series is set on an island paradise called St. Lucia. After a bad relationship and an even worse divorce, Carolyn decides to go on a long overdue and much needed vacation with the 'girls'. Only the rest of the vacationers didn't get the memo. Around every corner there seems to be another couple celebrating their honeymoon or anniversary and the few single men she does see are far too young to even consider, including an irresistibly attractive rock violinist she meets. It's really too bad he's so young but in the end it doesn't matter because according to his cousin, Giacinta, women in general aren't Christian's type.
But there's a catch, Christian needs Carolyn's help. He needs her to be his beard (to play the part of his fake girlfriend) for the week to appease his 'machismo' family. Carolyn just can't seem to say No and decides to help Gia's cousin. The only problem is that being around Christian and acting like they are a loving couple is wreaking havoc on her emotions. Carolyn's thoughts keep drifting back to places they shouldn't, like kissing his full lips or feeling his broad shoulders under her fingertips...
good lord, she's in trouble.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
All I can say is that this is my favourite
Argeneau story to date. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed
writing it.
