Very nice first book of a series

The Vampires in the Argeneau series aren't undead or a different race but they are humans. They are descendants of the people of Atlantis. The Atlantians were a very advanced race who tried to cure illness and inadvertently created "vampires".

Apparently every book in the Argeneau series is about another member of the Argeneau family and A Quick Bite is about Lissianna Argeneau.

I loved Lissianna and the rest of her family... Thomas, the twins, Elspeth, Jeanne Louise and of course Lissianna's sassy friend Mirabeau.
How Lissi met Greg sure created very funny situations that made me laugh more than once.
I can't wait to see who the next book is about!

Upon the recommendation of a friend I tried this book that is the first in a series. I'm very pleased with the author and characters. I'll be reading more of them.

I was surprised by this book. I did enjoy reading it quite a bit and I wasn't expecting that.

Being that it's the first book in a series, the author did a good job in the world building as well as the character development. Even the repeated mention of Alexia's Italian heritage and her nose seemed to flow pretty well. Normally, that type of repitition would annoy me, however, since the time frame is more of that historical Victorian, I would not have been surprised by this to actually happen.

I particularly liked the witty and sharp banter between the characters. The plot was different and original; even how the state of affairs for those of the supernatural I found intriguing. Not to mention that so many different aspects of genres was woven into this novel. It was well put together, which is not an easy feat.

It was an easy and light read, something that you could enjoy but not become engrossed in (as compared to Michelle Sagara West for instance).

I am looking forward to reading the rest of the novels in this series.

Although I was a bit apprehensive about reading another book that has an animal as a character, I loved this book!  It was a very nice 'first' in a series.

I liked the characters, the location and the story.  It's well-written and an easy read. There were just enough twists and turns to keep it interesting until the end.  I look forward to reading the next in the series.

I received a copy from NetGalley for review.

I had just finished a good series and was looking for another even though I had seen this series off and on on Amazon.  I thought it was another series of books which I had already read a long time ago.  Turns out I was wrong or this series has taken the same name.  Ether way, this is a great first book.  I like the concept of a special ops team doing what they do.  This will certainly lead to a number of interesting missions.  It looks like the author has some knowledge of his subject since he was once doing some type of special ops stuff but probably not as deep as the characters in these books.

So far the character development has been great.  Just enough to keep things interesting.  I thought the idea of showing how a new member got on the team was very smart and really got the reader involved in the team itself.  I do like the weapons information.  Not too deep but just enough to believe this stuff may be real or could be real and in use now.  I don't think the book indicates what time period we're reading about but it could be right now.  That's fine because so far the action has still been sci-fi but without all the gee-whiz technical stuff.

There's also a little history and science going on in the dialogue which means the reader could lean something while reading a fictional story.  That's always a nice touch.  I also found that this book had very few to no typographical errors or missing words that are typically found in a ebook.  Of course the price wasn't the cheapest but it was very reasonable.  I would hope the author makes enough money with this series to continue writing it.

If you like military sci-fi that isn't way out on the far extreme, then this will be the book or series for you.  I look forward to reading the rest of these books.

I enjoyed this first book.  I love fantasy and found this to be engaging and interesting such that when I finished I was looking forward to the next book.  I liked the character of Min a lot and felt the magical aspects of the world fleshed out well.  He's not a perfect person, but recognizes his flaws.  I liked the humor of the book as well.  It's not a epic, high fantasy but it's enjoyable and I liked how the background was fleshed in as the book went along.  Some editing issues, but overall very good start.

The is the first item I've read from this author.  The characters are well developed and interesting, the story was well worked out without a lot of filler or unnecessary material.  It was an enjoyable read and a good introduction to the main characters in preparation for a series.  Easily recommend it.

I liked nearly all aspects of this book. From the MCs, which are well defined, to the story itself, which is sweet, funny, light and well written (even if a bit fast sometimes, lacking a bit of intro). To be the first book of the author it is a very good start. I am going to jump right away to the second book of this series.

This was the 1st book from this author that I had read and I'm glad as it provided good background on the character. The book was well written and the character is one I will look forward to seeing more on. Once I finished this book, I bought the first in the series and have finished it as well. Looking forward to the others in this series.

I enjoyed this book very much.  I thought it to be a great beginning to a series.  I have not read this author before; I enjoy getting to find a new to me author that writes enjoyable PNR.  I really liked the way the author described her characters; the heroine was very smart and sassy, which is want I expect with a female shifter in her line of work.  I enjoyed the sexual tension between the Mel and Lucas.  But youll have to read to know what I mean.  Even though this is a short book, part one of a three part series, I did find the author provided just enough description to keep me wanting more and not so much that I get bored.  The story is full of action and where there isn't much action, it kept your mind wondering what she was going to do next to get out of her predicament.  I look forward to the next book and cant wait to see if she will be punished for her little disappearing act.  I would not recommend this to be read as a standalone and has a cliffhanger to boot.  Right now its FREE on Amazon!  Give it a try!

This was a great first book in series from a new author.  Mistaken for a boy Sage is kidnapped by the prince of the realm believing he has a rebel spy.  Lying about her name and who she is in the rebellion Sage takes on the name Ruby to try to learn what she can from the inside.  As she becomes friends with the people in the palace she realizes that things are not quite what she thought they were from the outside.
Cute book, not the genre I usually read, but it kept my attention and was enjoyable.  Sage's journey from hating the king/prince to starting to identify with them was gradual and believable.  I'm not sure where the book will go from here, but I look forward to reading more.

I enjoyed this book,  the first in a series.  The plot wasn't too complicated, the writing was smooth and there were few editing errors. The action takes place in a small town, with the usual collection of small town inhabitants. The heroine seemed a little young for her age, but was likeable and sweet.  The hero was just as nice and devoted to her, but if either of them said, " we're just friends ", one more time,  I wasn't going to be able to finish the book. The author doesn't play up the paranormal too much,  just enough to make it interesting.  There's no sex scenes or profanity. I will aim to follow the series.

A great start for first time author, Janna Macgregor. This is a wonderful read, filled with secrets, betrayal, angst, and of course romance. Lord Alex is out for revenge against his former friend and really doesn't care who is collateral damage. Lady Claire is cursed, at least she is convinced of it. After all as a child she survived a tragic accident that took the lives of her parents. As children often do, though not logical, she blames herself for their deaths. Add to that four engagements without a marriage and ton gossip and she is one bad luck bride. However, she and Alex are perfect for each, but their strive for a happy ending is filled with barriers mainly of their own making. I really enjoyed this book. The premise is a bit different from other books about the same era, which makes it a worthwhile read. The best part is that this is the first in a series about a very interesting family. Already have the next ready to read. I received this eBook from NetGalley for an honest review. These opinions are my own.

I enjoyed the first book of this series. A few twists that I did not expect but over all the story and the characters were a delight to read and become a part of their world. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.
