Week 11 Review: Meant to Be Immortal

From Goodreads:

In the newest Argeneau novel from New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands, an immortal barely escapes a raging fire only to kindle a sizzling passion with his potential life mate.

Mac Argeneau knows all too well: immortals can be killed. Not with holy water or silver crosses, but by decapitation or being set on fire. So when Mac's house bursts into flames—with him inside—he's sure it was no accident. But who would want to kill a scientist specializing in hematology? There is a silver lining: a blonde investigator appears on the scene and sparks feelings in him that have been dormant for centuries.

CJ Cummings is in town on a special investigation, but she's been waylaid by the local police to deal with this arson case. The biggest mystery is how this sexy scientist with silvery blue eyes has emerged from a blazing inferno without a burn mark on him. He's clearly hiding something. Sure, she'd love to see him without his lab coat, but she's got a job to do—despite his insistence that he needs a bodyguard and...he wants her.

But when a second attempt on their lives puts CJ in harm's way, it's Mac who will do anything to safeguard the woman who's destined to be his life mate. 

My Review:
This was such a great read! I love this series so much, and most books (there are exceptions) have this wild coincidences that could get someone killed-only it turns that is on purpose, and I just find those situations hilarious, because they aren't real.

I really enjoyed Mac and CJ's story. I loved learning about her past and her family, because we do obviously know a lot about his, well, his extended family, given that we're 30+ books into a series named after the family. They were really great characters to read about! 

There was one really laugh out loud hilarious scene, where he knows she's his lifemate, and she's human so has no clue. So he's trying to stick close to her, and she's basically having none of that, and a jail cell becomes involved, and it was just fantastic! 

And that ending! That was pretty intense, between the shooting, and Marguerite having the start of a premature labor, oh, and CJ finding out about the immortals. There was a lot going on, and I really enjoyed how it was all resolved! 

This was a really fantastic read, and I can't wait for the next in the series!
