Book Description:
Rafael De La Cruz has spent centuries hunting vampires with his brothers, and with each passing year his capacity to feel emotions has grown weaker and weaker until finally there's barely been a memory left-until only sheer willpower keeps him from turning into the very abomination he hunts. But it'll take more than will to keep him away from the woman who is meant to be his and his alone...
For five years, rancher Colby Jansen has been the sole protector of her younger half-siblings, and with fierce determination and work she has kept her family together and the ranch operational. Now, the De La Cruz brothers are threatening that stability. They claim that her siblings belong with their father's family, not with her. Colby vows to fight them-especially the cold and arrogant Rafael De La Cruz. But Rafael is after more than her family-he wants Colby and will not let anything stand between them. After ages of loneliness, the raw desire to possess her overwhelms his very soul, driving him to claim her as his lifemate...

This is when her series has started to go bad. Book is unoriginal!

It took me a while to get into this one. I'm not a big fan of Feehan's writing style -- I find it pretty ponderous and repetitive -- but I like the idea of her storylines so I stuck with the book and it did get better about 1/3 of the way into it. Overall, it was okay but not great, but then I've heard that this isn't the best of the Dark series (which I've been reading here and there out of order as I come across them), so I'm taking that as a pretty good sign. I wish the author would develope a sense of humor, though! I don't think any of these characters ever attempted a single joke! A little levity to break up all the melodrama would be good!

Wasn't sure I was going to like the 'western' theme, but some interesting details were revealed and Colby is quite a strong woman. Rafael is a bit more chauvanistic than previous Carpathian males, but is yummy by the end. And the two personalities mesh nicely.

First of the Carpathian series that I read (and it's book 15!!). I like the latter books more than the earlier ones. The Brazilian Carpathians are (for whatever reason) more interesting. Great mythology created by author and it's a series that has held up well.

It was a good story about Rafael and did give some insight to the Dragonseeker clan but I didn't enjoy it as well as her other books. He is a bit dominating for my taste.

This is about 12 in a series of books by C. Feehan about Carpathians. They are a separate race from humans. They live nearly forever, but the men desparately need their women. They are essentially vampire romance novels. Great cotton candy type of reading.

Wonderful erotic romance with just a touch more.

I have all of the Dark Series and I look forward to each new book. Each book is about fighting evil bad guys and convincing the only one for you that you are a good guy and will love them forever! It is the one of the best epic PERFECT MATE/VAMPIRE book series there is.

ROBIN W. from WANTAGH, NY wrote on 11/9/2008...This book is part of a large series. You can't just put them down. I really get into the characters and the storyline. I would highly recommend this book especially if you are a fan of this author.
Everyone is always raving about this series, but it's not my taste.
