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.

I am saddened however by the means in which she had to get there, seems so unfair for such a pleasantly likable woman. I guess we can't all have it easy, but the cruelness suffered was...

I have to say that I was highly disappointed in the Vampires are Forever book but this one redeemed the series. This was probably my favorite of all. I understand what she put it in the front of the book, but I was still completely blown away when it came out that she was his mom. I thought maybe there was an editing error in the front that put Christian under her name instead of Julius's but it still didn't ruin the story. And the way it all happened with her being his missing lifemate was...

First off, if you're going to go to the trouble of writing a book that has a pretty important mystery at its core, don't reveal the answer to that mystery in the family tree right at the front of the book. I mean, how stupid can you be to do that? That aside, this book is the best one. It actually has a plot and a good one, too. The writing and the dialog are miles better than usual, although the stupid mistakes, like revealing important plot points before you even get to page 1 and Lynsay...
