Immortal Unchained by Lynsay Sands

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ever since Domitian Argenis recognized Sarita as his life mate, he’s been waiting for the perfect moment to claim her. Those fantasies did not include him being chained to a table in a secret lab or both of them being held hostage by a mad scientist. Somehow, they have to escape… 

Sarita has seen some crazy things as a cop, but nothing to rival Domitian. A vampire? Seriously? But his healing ability, incredible powers, and their mind-blowing physical connection—none of it should be possible, yet her body knows differently. Now, not only do they have to save each other, but other innocent lives are at stake. Failure is not an option, for Sarita intends that Domitian show her exactly what an eternity of pleasure feels like…

The Hero: Domitian Argenis – many immortals have been missing, including hunters and enforcers. Domitian is going in undercover as a chef for Dr. Dressler on an island off the coast of Venezuela. Dressler is the man they know is behind the kidnappings. They know he is a mad scientist who is obsessed with studying and experimenting on immortals. Domitian is a Spanish cousin to the Argeneau family and close to Lucien.

The heroine: Sarita Reyes – she is a police officer in Canada. Though she went to an island off the coast of Venezuela to visit her grandmother. She was waiting for Dr. Dressler to return home and take her to her grandmother. She had been told the ridiculous amount of security on the island was due to a rise in kidnappings in the area. She was annoyed about it even though she knows firsthand about the problem of kidnappings, as that was how her mother was killed when she was young.

The Story: Sarita finds her way into a part of the island that was under even more security and finds Dr. Dressler conducting highly illegal experiments on an obviously supernatural man. He brought the man back from the dead after being cut in half and each half separated from each other for a period of time. The doctor tells Sarita all about immortals and their backstory of Atlantis and the nano’s. How they are humans, and the only difference is the nano’s and about their life mates.

Though the doctor and his experiments are obviously the machinations of a lunatic. They are torture, pure and simple and Sarita is shocked and appalled. She isn’t even able to react when the doctor plunges a needle into her which knocks her unconscious, but not before telling her that her life mate is arriving now and that studying them will help him immensely.

I didn’t understand why the Argeneau’s didn’t put some sort of tracker in Domitian since the reason he was going undercover was to find out where the doctor’s island was located. I would have thought they would have enforcer troops coming in after him within hours, but no, they somehow expected him to find his way out. Well, I guess they did expect that they would be able to track his phone, which they couldn’t because it was turned off, but you would think they should have put a tracker under his skin.

This story was told in dual points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Julian Durant. I didn’t really like his narration style or his accents. Though he did use more than one to differentiate between characters. I didn’t like these two characters as much as some of the others in this series. For one, they were inappropriately horny despite the fact that they knew they were being watched. Things got steamy pretty early on in this book and I wanted less chatting between these two and more action than I got in this one. I wanted them to escape and take down Dr. Demento (I mean Dressler) right away rather than just eating, talking and doing the deed over and over.
