Synopsis:
Even vampires need a vacation. But Decker Argeneau's ends abruptly when he's asked to help hunt the group of rogue vampires targeting mortals -- one that might include a defector in his own family. Before he can worry about that, though, he's got to rescue the latest victim. It's all part of the job, including taking a bullet for a beautiful doctor.
Dr. Danielle McGill doesn't know if she can trust the man who just saved her life. There are too many questions, such as what is the secret organization he says he's part of, and why do his wounds hardly bleed? However, with her sister in the hands of some dangerous men, she doesn't have much choice but to trust him.
Except now Decker's talking about life mates and awakening a passion that's taking Dani beyond anything she's ever known. Being undead may not be half-bad...especially if it means spending forever with a man who would love her with his mind, body, and immortal soul.

MY REVIEW
Summary:
After going hunting in search of a rogue vampire, who is also his cousin, Nicholas, one who has been on the run for over fifty years. Now they are following his very obvious trail, which leaves Decker worried. But then when they catch up to him, they join him in hunting down six dangerous vampires who have captured two innocent women, sisters. But after they take down five of them, one of them escapes with the youngest girl, and the one left behind with her rescuers are Decker and Justin. Nicholas is out of their range once more. But their attention is focused on Dani who is desperate to find her sister, and she turns out to be Decker's lifemate. Decker is stunned at first, and finds this revelation to be unexpected, but he knows he has to earn her trust, however he keeps lying to her, which prevents her from trusting him and intent on finding her sister. However even though Dani is determined to find her sister, who is only fifteen, there is a chemistry between her and Decker, and even though she doesn't trust him, she is drawn to him and finds herself falling hard and fast for him....
The Hero (Decker Argeneau Pimms)
Decker, a immortal and a rogue hunter. Decker is surprised to be following his cousins trail after fifty years of never being able to find him, and is wary. What he never expected to find was his cousin hunting rogues, even though he is a rogue as well, but when it came down to taking down Nicholas or six rogues, he knows there are two innocents that are more important. What he didn't expect was to discover his lifemate as one of the women he intended on rescuing. One who doesn't trust him, but trusts Nicholas more...even though he is rogue. Decker was born immortal, has given up sex and food for over 80 years. Now however after meeting his life mate, his appetites return with full force, and he starts falling in love with this one woman who awakens all of his senses...
The Heroine (Danielle McGill)
Dani, is a Gynecologist and set up a practice on her own, and has of late been very busy with her work. But then she decides to go on a trip with her sister for a family get together, however on the way to her uncle's home, she and her sister are taken by "monsters" and later learn that they are vampires. Dani doesn't think there is any hope of them surviving until she is rescued by three men, one of whom she is physically attracted to. However Dani needs to find her sister, who is only fifteen years old. What Dani never realized was how much Decker means to her, and that she wants to be with him forever.
My Thoughts
The Immortal Hunter is part of two series written by Lynsay Sands....its the eleventh installment in the Argeneau series, and the second in the rogue hunter series. The Immortal Hunter takes the reader on a thrilling ride of suspense, adventure and romance. There is such a intensity about this story, where two people find each other, when if certain events hadn't ever occured they might have never have found one another, acts although done is violence, brought about a silver lining. There was also such a witty rapore between the characters in this book, and it was great to see characters from other books involved in this story as well such as Lucian (who is my personal favorite) and Samantha (whom anyone that has read her story just adores her) so it was lovely to see it all come together in this story, and looking forward to reading the next one in the series: Nicholas' story...I can hardly wait....this series so far has been such a delightful dessert to read!!
My Favorite Quote In This Book
"You do, just by being here. I can't imagine facing all this alone" She slipped her hand into his, squeezing it. "I guess that's what love is, sharing the good and the bad, the happy and the sad"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The few and the proud are the U.S. Marines," Justin, informed her, seeming rather amused "We CSIS men..."he paused to cast a taunting glance toward Decker and then continued "We CSIS guys are the Cute, Strong, Intelligent, and Sexy" In the looks department the man fit the James Bond image of a spy, she thought. It was just a shame that he was missing the "intelligent" from the Cute, Strong, Intelligent, and Sexy quota.
