Until now I considered "The Lady Is a Vamp" the worst Argeneau novel, but now we've got another strong contender, "The Immortal Who Loved Me". If you had thought that Jean-Claude was the weakest link among Argeneau brothers, think again when never-mentioned-before Basil appears. A sperm donor for 26 babies, a father of those children, who never loved, married nor lived with the mother of his offspring. A Milennia-long friends-with-benefits arrangement. Yup, definitely a perfect catch. 
 Not to mention his idea of a romance is checking if all lifemate symptoms work immediately after his first meeting with a prospective lifemate. It's closer to a medical examination than a romantic encounter. He doesn't need to woo a woman when all symptoms are there. There's no romance, no chemistry, and no efforts are needed to bed her. She's just too willing to do it in any place, public or private. All things considered, Basil and Sherry seem to be the most boring and uninvolving couple in the whole Argeneau series. 
 It's also quite weird that the only truly interesting character in this book is a repentant immortal rapist who used mind control to coerce sex when high on drugged blood. His storyline was controversial, the rushed family reconciliation unconvincing, not to mention Elvi's convoluted logic of defining rape.
