Dark Elves 1: Taken was surprisingly good. It wasn't at all what I expected and I really liked the main characters. It's about a race of dark elves that only produces males. They have to kidnap human women to procreate with. I thought they were perfect together and I felt that Salin (the hero) treated Diana in exactly the way she needed. I know she felt that she was forced and I could see that, but Salin really made it work for them. My only complaint is that I wish there was a little more focus on the world that the dark elves live in. What little that was given was interesting and I wanted to know more about it. I recommend it.
4.5 stars

Dark Elves 2: Mastered was good, but not as good as Taken. I didn't connect with the H/h as much in this book. The conflict was a little pointless since it was obvious that there was going to be an HEA. Now, you could say it was obvious in Taken, however the struggle with Salin and Diana was amongst themselves. In Mastered, the conflict was in the form of the King and I figured he wasn't going to get what he wanted. I did like the fact that we learned a little more about the world that the dark elves live in.
