Immortal Angel is out!
This is book #31 of the Argeneau series and this story comes in smoking hot! So as of today, the U.S./Canadian and the UK/Australian editions are out on the bookstore shelves!
Here’s the lowdown on G.G. and Ildaria’s story!
We first met G.G. in Marguerite’s story, Vampire Interrupted, and then again in Elspeth’s story Twice Bitten. Now it’s GG’s turn and he’ll have to decide whether to accept the gift of a life mate, or continue to fight the possibility he could be happy as an immortal.
As for Ildaria, we met her in Vampires Like It Hot where she was one of Vasco’s most fearsome crew members. Having been on the run for so long, she knows how to take care of herself, and won’t hesitate to come to the aid of someone in trouble. Unfortunately, because of this she garnered some unwanted attention forcing her to relocate to Toronto. Luckily there’s a job opportunity and a potential life mate waiting for her�
Immortal Angel ...
Here are some of the reviews that have been rolling in�
I can’t believe I’m saying this thirty-one books in, but I’m still having a blast with this series. It’s always fun to catch up with previous characters…but equally as entertaining to get to know new people. Well, new-ish� Because we’ve seen G.G.–and his green, foot-high mohawk!–briefly before where he owns immortal night clubs in Canada and England. And Ildaria made a big impression on me in book twenty eight, Vampires Like It Hot, during the pirate ship excursions. (Another fun book!) Immortal Angel was a lovely reminder of why I adore the Argeneau series and still look forward to each new romance. Reviewed by HarlequinJunkie.com.
Immortal Angel is the newest book in the infamous Argeneau series and this author just NEVER disappoints. I will say that I really loved how this story sets off �.how it develops and how it definitely ends. Lynsay Sands does such an incredible job in delivering such a beautiful story that wraps you up in warmth and laughter. Immortal Angel was such a fun book and this might be the first book in romance I have read with a hero who has a mohawk�..a green one but he makes it work. Overall I found Immortal Angel to be a thrilling, laugh your socks off romance that fills the soul with light and attention. Reviewed by AddictedToRomance.org.
I loved reading this book! It's kinda a sequel to Vampires Like it Hot, because it deals with Ildaria who was introduced in that book, and some of the issues from that book. So that was really great. Loved this book, it was another amazing read, and I can't wait to see where this series is going to go next! Reviewed by WritingCrazyMe.Blogspot.com.
I really love the fact that these books don’t have to be read in order. I know that some of the characters in this book have been the subject of previous books, but everything in the book was explained as if it were a stand alone. Reviewed by ILikeBooksBest.com.

The Trouble With Vampires - Argeneau book #29
Book #29, , is about our favorite tormented Notte, Santo. Readers have been asking after Santo's story ever since he first appeared in Under A Vampire Moon, and his story is finally here as of Tuesday, April 23rd!
Having lived thousands of years, Santo’s literally seen it all and suffered far too much at the hands of those who were determined to break him. He is a survivor but centuries of torture and abuse have left him with scars that run so deep he’s plagued by nightmares every time he sleeps.
Petronella Stone’s slight stature is a striking contrast to Santo’s huge linebacker proportions, but still her no-nonsense personality can handle pretty much anything thrown her way, including Santo’s nightmarish past. For she, too, has a past, one that has left Pet aware of immortals and what they’re capable of. So when a 911 call brings Santo and several rogue hunters to the neighborhood, she’s ready to grab her nephew and run. But fate has other plans for her, and Santo may have just met the one person strong enough to wrestle away his nightly demons.
On Tuesday, April 23rd !
[The UK / Australian edition will be on Thursday, April 25th!]

The Wrong Highlander - Highland Brides book #7
Book #7 in the Highland Brides series, #TheWrongHighlander, is finally out and on the bookstore shelves! 👏🏻
You can check out my interview and an exclusive excerpt on
Conran's story, appropriately named The Wrong Highlander, starts with a bang when our hero is accosted and kidnapped by a redheaded spitfire named Lady Evina Maclean.
Desperate to help her father whom is at death's door she does the only thing she can think of� seek out help from famed healer Rory Buchanan. But when they find him bathing in the waterfall Lady Evina comes up with a different plan…Why bother asking when they could just take him with them willing or not, and ask for forgiveness later?
Conran's first thought at the strangers' intrusion on his bath was not a pleasant one and he was successfully beating back the man attacking him until someone cold cocked him from behind. Conran's second thought upon waking in a strange room with an ailing man was "Who was stupid enough to attack a Buchanan?". His third thought upon setting eyes on the redheaded beauty behind his kidnapping was rather…er� X-rated shall we say.

Happy 2019 everyone! A new year means new beginnings and I hope plenty of new opportunities for all. So, we wanted to start the new year off right with a fabulous contest. 🎉
My upcoming new release, The Wrong Highlander, comes out on Tuesday January 29th and is about Conran Buchanan.

A whole lot of funny happens as Conran attempts to help the ailing Laird Maclean and get to know his feisty daughter, the Lady Evina, the one behind his kidnapping in the first place. Now the only question that remains is will Conran's abduction end up being a happy accident or disastrous mistake?
To enter this contest just tell us about a happy accident of your own, or of someone you know. Something that occurred either by happenstance or accident that seemed bad at first but in the end was a good thing.
A grand prize of a $100 kindle gift card and two secondary prizes of a $50 kindle gift cards. Each prizewinner will also get a signed copy of The Wrong Highlander! 😉
Please use the following #TheWrongHighlander and #MyHappyAccident in your entry and post it under my Facebook post (), Instagram, my Tumblr, or on Twitter along with @LynsaySands.

Vampires Like It Hot it out!
I am stunned it's here already... the next book in my Argeneau series, Vampires Like It Hot, is out on the bookstore shelves! 😃
I was excited and had so much fun writing this story I was sorry to see it end when I finished it. The reason for my excitement you ask?
It's about Vampirates. I mean, c'mon! What could be more fun than a book about ancient Vampire Pirates!
Second, it's set in Punta Cana, the worst location for an immortal vacation!
Third, we meet a whole new set of humorous characters whom I'll get to play with in future stories.
This is Raffaele and Jess's story and it's a blast.
Raffaele, Zanipolo and Santo are on an enforced vacation during the wet season in the Dominican. While Raffaele is happy to help out his cousin Santo, he'd rather do it where it wasn't so hot and humid you could hardly breathe. At least that's how he felt until he met his life mate, Jess.
Jess was in the Dominican to attend a family wedding. After she follows her cousin onto a tour ship, she finds herself on a pirate ship full of hungry vampire pirates and her only option to escape is to jump ship. From vampires, to shark-infested water, and then the arms of Raffaele Notte... What started out as a boring family obligation has suddenly become something much more.
If you get an opportunity to read it, I hope you enjoy Argeneau #28!

Aulay's story, The Highlander's Promise
I'm amazed my new release, The Highlander's Promise (Highland Brides #6), will be coming out as of midnight tonight!
Many readers have been asking after the eldest Buchanan brother so I'm thrilled to say it's finally here and we get to find out the full story about Aulay, what he’s gone through, and what happened to Ewan, his twin brother.
You’ll also get to meet the mystery lady whom Aulay rescues when he finds her badly injured, floating offshore and tied to the broken mast of a ship. With no memory of who she is or how she got to be there, Aulay christens her Jetta due to her beautiful jet-black hair. When she finds Aulay in her bedchamber upon waking, Jetta mistakenly assumes they're married and he's forced to keep up the pretense until her health improves. Their relationship starts out as a ruse but will become more and more real every day they spend together.
This is the fourth story involving a Buchanan so there are still a few single Buchanan brothers left. Who knew this clan would be so prolific and become so powerful in such a short span of time?
The Highland Brides series is a thrilling, action-packed, passionate, hilarious romp that will inevitably involve a LOT of nosy friends and family. So, hold on to your sunhats and fishing rods peeps because the Buchanans are back!
You can check out more of its here...
