Under a Vampire Moon by Lynsay Sands
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
When Vampires Go On Vacation…
Escaping a horrible marriage, Carolyn Connor has no desire to think about men — a vow she’s determined to keep while on vacation in St. Lucia. She’ll take the Caribbean sun and sea and plenty of tropical drinks with those cute umbrellas poolside, thank you. She absolutely does not need male company, no matter how tan and rock-hard his body may be.
Easy enough, but then Carolyn meets the charming Marguerite Argeneau, who is infamous among her family for her matchmaking prowess…
Christian Notte has well known the power of finding a life mate. He’s seen enough of his Argeneau relatives taken down for the count, but he never imagined he’d let himself fall in love — until he meets the enthralling, charmingly skittish, and oh-so-mortal Carolyn. But how will he reveal what he is and still convince this once-bitten mortal to trust him with her heart…and her forever?
Just a big misunderstanding!

The heroine: Carolyn – she is in the process of divorcing her husband and is vacationing with her friend Bethany in St. Lucia when Bethany becomes ill. Left to her own devices, she has dinner with a honeymooning couple Marguerite and Julius.
The Hero(s): Christian – son to Marguerite, he is in a band and comes to St. Lucia at the request of his mother who told the resort director that their band could take the place of the scheduled band after they had to cancel out of their gig at the island resort.
The Story: Marguerite saw immediately that Carolyn was the life mate of Christian though Carolyn had low self esteem after her troubled marriage and sees herself as too old for Christian who looks 25 while Carolyn is over 40.
In order to alleviate her fears with regards to Christians age, his cousin Gia talks to Carolyn tells her Christian is gay and that the rest of his family didn’t know so it would help him out if Carolyn could hang out with him and pretend to be his girlfriend. Carolyn had been a beard before while in college to one of her good friends and since her friend Bethany was sick and she had no intention of having a fling of any sort, she thought hanging out with Christian might be fun.
Christian and Carolyn have fun together and start to get to know each other while hanging out. Carolyn starts having very sexy dreams about herself and Christian and acting like they are dating, which included kissing him was starting to wear on her considering the fact that she thought nothing could happen between them since he was gay.
The storyline was quite fun and I really enjoyed it. The book was told in dual POV, though there was only one narrator, Kirby Herborne. I haven’t heard him as a narrator but he was very good. I usually like dual narration, but I didn’t mind this guy. He had a good woman’s voice which didn’t sound too fake and a good male voice as well.
