Dark Prince didn’t exactly win me over. But I was so intrigued by Gregori that I continued on.This book was more of the same. I know it has a lot of amazing reviews. And again maybe if I’d read this 20 years ago mine might have been one of them. Instead I found it boring. Loads of repetition. This seems to be a thing with this author. Her books are long but I end up skimming at least a third.I’m hoping the next one is better.

There is something about the way that Christine Feehan writes. I think she really pours her heart into her stories. There is so much intensity there. This was a really interesting, enjoyable read. I can't say it's my favorite Feehan because I am so in love with the Ghostwalkers. But I must say that Feehan's take on vampires really captivated me and sucked me in. I find that I am becoming a big fan of vampire romance, and this book probably helped to push me over the edge. Jacques is one tortured...

I loved this book! So well written! Jacques was an awesome hero and I loved everything about him! Shea was a great heroine as well, but I did get a little tired of her wanting to leave Jacques. So far this series is wonderful!

another great one!Feehan always pulls at the heartstrings. The dark, sensual nature of the couple’s love affair makes you need to turn page after page. Highly recommended.

"Dark Desire" is the story of Shea and Jacques.Years ago, Jacques was captured trying to save Raven, stabbed, tortured mercilessly and buried alive, blindfolded. As the trauma makes him lose his memory and sense of time, he reaches out to the unknown for help.. and finds ears in a female far away.7 years ago, medicine resident Shea woke up with the most excruciating pain of been "stabbed in the chest" and since then while she's become a surgeon, she hears and dreams of a male who unbending-ly ke...

Why did I read the second one when I thought the first one was meh? Sometimes I don't understand myself. I need some psychiatric care. Much like the heroes in this book. Total nutjobs. And, while I admit that nutjobs can be entertaining sometimes, I just found this tedious.First of all, the caveman attitude of these not-vampires is annoying. So, you will die if she leaves you. Blah, blah, blah. Poor you! Maybe she has better things to do than to help you hold on to your tenuous grip on your sani...

Will someone please explain to me how a couple can have sex when he’s on top and she’s on the bottom and her jeans are pushed down but still around her ankles? Because frankly, I really don’t think that is humanly possible. If she was bent over, alright. Or if they were really stretchy pants with an elastic waistband, maybe. Or if the jeans are only around one ankle but have completely slipped off the other, definitely. But if they’re hiding out in a secret Carpathian cave and they are immediate...

Jacques Dubrinsky and Shea O'Halloran He was a creature of the night. The dark was his home. Yet now, in his agony, it was his enemy. There was only pain and silence. Always before, he was the one who chose whether to stay in the darkness, in the healing soil. Now he was a prisoner, locked away, with the soil just out of reach. Comfort should have been his, was near, yet always the wood of the coffin prevented his body from touching what would eventually have healed his wounds. Love, love, lov...

"Sometimes, wild man, you break my heart" -Shea to JacquesThere is something so darn alluring about Christine Feehan`s way of writing stories.It is so obvious that she loves to write and that passion of writing shows in every page."Dark Desire" is the second instalment in the paranormal romance "Dark"-series about the vampire breed Carpathians that turns into cold blooded and heartless vampires if they don`t meet their lifemates.Carpathians are being hunted and killed all around the world,and th...

I enjoyed Dark Prince but this book is just more of the same thing. I am Carpathian hierarchy and not a Vampire and still they are having problems getting a life-mate just wanted more drama more action, i was expecting more and i think this is where i do not go any further in the series. There are so many good books to read at the moment.

Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestDNF @ p.72This is the second Carpathians book I have read and I think I'm going to call it quits here for now. After reading and not liking the "uncut" version of DARK PRINCE, I thought maybe me not liking the book was a case of the author going wild without her editor to keep her in check. There were, after all, some things I did enjoy about the story. A lot of things, actually! Maybe, with the presence of an editor, the sequel would be

Man what an emotional book....his constant predatory watching eyes..heroine had nowhere to escape... She was glued to him and he made sure of that! What a Hero! Loyal, faithful, fiercely protective, possessive and attentive to every heroines needs... Some of the scenes were very graphic in nature and they made me a bit uncomfortable, especially the Heroes capture and the aftermath...my god what he had to go through and all that was done to him whilst he was alive! Poor Hero, the loneliness, t...

I'm not sure why I'm compelled to read this series. It's all talk and no action! Yes, this book is kinda uniqe in a world of vampires, written pretty well in an old-fashioned way, with a fiercely protective and possessive alpha hero and stubborn heroine. True mates trope with no OM/OW drama.But for the love of God, nothing happens. To summarize this book and the heroine:Mommy issues...Daddy issues...Carpathian lifestyle issues...Commitment issues....I will continue with this series in the fut...

I'm going to be brutally honest here. I've never rated a CF book this low. However, this had to be my least favorite of all the books I've read from her, and I've read a lot. I loved the author's letter to her readers. It made this book seem more personal. I adored how she couldn't let go of Jacques (and seriously, who could blame her). And the very beginning of this story, when Jacques was injured, on the brink of death, and slowly losing his mind... brilliant. It was everything else tha...

3 This series isn’t for me StarsI wasn’t going to give this series another go, but I thought maybe it would be better in audio format.First off, the narrator Abby Carden was pretty good. Her voice is mature and she does really great voice transitions. She kind of has a breathy voice so you do get the emotional part of her reading. She can read at a slow pace, but since she acts out everything it didn’t hinder my reading experience. The first half of the book was fine. I was listening to it in on...
