Search - Dark Desire (Carpathians (Dark), Bk 2)

I'm fairly certain that this woman is the worst writer in her genre...how do these people get published? I tell you, it gives an aspiring writer hope - if SHE can do it...

Ridiculously overdone and insipid dialogue (here's an actual sample), "...Hear Me! Join With Me! Save Me Now! ...You must join with me to save me from this monster tearing insanely at my flesh!" And, even more horrifying, "Laughing, coughing, they broke apart and swam to the surface, the horrors of the day drowned in the depth of their love."

Oh. My. God. Save yourselves! This is actually the second book I've tried by this author (an EVIL friend kept telling me they were great) and it just gets worse and worse...yet, strangely, people still buy her books. Better you than me!

This is the second book in the Dark series and I have read three. The Dark Prince, Dark Descent,and Dark Desire. I really do like the style that Christine writes in. I find it full of passion. This one is a good read and an important one in the series. I did however, like the other two a little better as I couldn't put them down. Still a big thumbs up for Dark Desire! Feehan has great talent in her creativity and style.

Great second book in a wonderful series.

I really enjoyed this book, as I have most of the Carpathian novels I have read. This book drew me In very quickly. It was entriguing to me that the hero of the story was the typical dominant male as well as having a weakness. It was definetly a unique twist. I actually have read many of the books that are later in the series and you can see how Christine has grown as a writer. I am just now reading her beginning books and to be honest most of them are not that great. What are supposed to be strong independent women tend to fall apart rather quickly. That didn't seem to apply to this book and for that I am grateful. I loves jaques' need for Shea. It was an unconventional idea for a romance novel and it really tugged at my heart.

For a second book in the series it is not bad. Shea, the heroine, is very independent, strong, and overall a good character. I like many of the scenes description but some of the words were like her tiny and delicate frame where vastly overused. I live the creation of the world and even the sex scenes were dynamic. It not the great book her later books become, but it is nether less a good book and a good read. However, I gave it a three because sometimes the drama does lag and at times it got boring being bashed in the head with "you are my lifemate for all time and you have no say in the matter." I thought Jacques was a little to overbearing.

love the carpathians
