Summary: Great addition to the series
Review: I enjoyed the fact that the heroine is human and has problems swallowing the fact that Darius is a vampire. She just isn't swept away, but has to accept what he is and what he is capable of. The plot was better in this book than in some of the series. Can't wait to read the next one.

Summary: Can Someone Find Me a Carpathian Male?
Review: I hadn’t read anything by Christine Feehan until a week ago when several fellow readers told me I just had to read her series to believe it. Well, this is my fourth book by Ms. Feehan in a week and it has been a wild ride. I would do a brief review of the story, but I think that has pretty well been covered by the other reviewers. Just let me say this, after four books, the story line remains fascinating. Each features a Carpathian who after centuries of searching for his life mate has to make a decision: either greet the sun and perish, or risk losing control and becoming a vampire who tortures the human race. In this story, Dark Fires, Darius the strong protector of his family is facing that reality. Then into his life comes Tempest. The only problem is Tempest isn’t Carpathian. She’s human. Tempest hasn’t had an easy life and really doesn’t understand the whole concept of love, family, and most importantly trust. Darius, being the alpha male, has the overwhelming urge to dominate and protect the woman of his life. Tempest, who grew up on the streets ends up battling against his arrogance and dominating ways. Let me just say this, if you want a sensual book with tons of excitement, and thrills; this is the series for you.

Summary: Exceptional Story, Addictive book
Review: The sixth in the ongoing story of the Carpathians, where, again, more questions are answered as well as new ones being raised about the Carpathians. Christine Feehan has written another unique and riveting story. This story centers around Darius the younger brother of Gregori (Dark Magic) and Tempest, or Rusti to everybody else. Their story is intriguing with its unexpected twists and turns. This book was a more humorous book, I felt, than the previous books with the unexpected situations the characters found themselves in and their reactions to each other as well as outsiders. I also found that it touched on more difficult subjects than those previously. One situation it explored (with sensitivity) was how difficult rape can be on a woman, and the man who loves her, and how difficult it can be to recover from rape. In this story, Tempest wanders into their campsite (past some pretty heavy safeguards) to accept a job as a mechanic, just to find out that there is a price to pay-in the form of Desari's (Dark Challenge) brother Darius. Darius, with typical male Carpathian arrogance, takes some things for granted with Tempest, just to be challenged and driven to distraction at every turn by her. Darius is a hard and dangerous Carpathian, but he also had a gentle and sweet side which brought tears to my eyes at times in his dealings with Tempest. He is forced to really look beyond his place as undisputed leader to his place as a lifemate. This book also touches on Barak and Syndil's story as well as the relationship between Julian (Dark Challenge) and Darius. This book was a page turner (I got it and read it when I was supposed to be packing for a plane trip at around 5:00 a.m. the next morning). I have reread it many times since I got it, because it is so interesting and fun. I would definitely recommend this book, and it is one for the keeper shelf.

Summary: Got to have book......
Review: This is a book that is a must have. I've not had a chance to read the other five books, but if they are as good as this sixth book, I'm sold. This book is very descriptive and sensual with the details. I just cannot put this book down.

Summary: More of the Same
Review: I have read all of the Dark Series and was REALLY looking foward to reading Darius's story. His character which was introduced in Dark Challenge was very intriguing with his combination of loyalty, strength, and of course darkness. I must say I felt a little let down and unsatisfied by this book. I was looking for his story to be more unique and have him demonstrate his power in a way we have not read the other males do in previous books in the series. Tempest was a strong heroine with a unique talent for communicating with animals which is never really developed to it fullest during the story.Overall, while the book was still an entertaining read, it is really more of the same that we have read before. Same plot different characters. I was hoping for such a great character as Darius to get a story with more imagination.

Summary: Another great addition to the "Dark" series.
Review: Once again, Christine Feehan has written a very compelling book. As a fan of the "Dark" series, I was eagerly anticipating this newest addition, and it didn't let me down. The characters of Tempest and Darius really draw you into the story. You also see development in the other band members stories. The plot is fast paced and energetic. I read the entire book in one night. I just couldn't tear myself away. This book can stand alone, but you're really missing out if you haven't read the other books in the series. I highly recommend just that. Again, Dark Fire is a definite must read to any romance fan, even if your not a fan of this particular type of romance. I was strictly a historical romance reader, but I read the first book in the Dark series and was hooked. Give it a try! Happy reading!!!

Summary: Fantastic!!!
Review: Ms. Feehan is a gifted story teller, and her dark series books are all well written. I was somewhat disappointed with Dark Challenge but Dark Fire is her best so far. Both characters are wonderfully developed and the story line progresses to keep you reading from beginning to end. So buy this book, my only warning is put aside time to read the whole thing as you will not be able to put it down for long!!!

Summary: Not as exciting as I had hoped...
Review: Well, I've read all of the books in Ms. Feehan's Dark series and I have to say that I this one doesn't seem to be that much different than the rest. It's pretty much the same old dialogue, "you will be mine", "no, you won't dominate me", etc.etc. It dragged on in the middle too. I liked Tempest's character, however as her past was interesting and explained why she was the way she was. I liked that she could speak to animals telepathically. That was a bit different. The book was interesting at times, but it made for extremely long read. I realize that Carpathian males are dominating but the series needs a breath of fresh air. Why have these Carpathians not met up with their relatives? Why not bring in a family reunion? It would be interesting to see Darius meet Gregori, and what about the Prince? If they are on the verge of extinction, I would think it would be important for them to meet up with each other? I suspect that we are going to hear about Barack and Syndil in the next book and I imagine Dayan in another too, since she hinted at that in this book. I'd like to see more interaction between the characters of the other books in future works. But please, let's see some women who aren't so helpless and some Carpathians who aren't cookie cutters of each other. I want to be surprised! I say send the troubadours to the Carpathian mountains!

Summary: Yet another wonderful Caparthian Tale.
Review: Christine has done it again.. After reading the other reviews there is very little to add.. Only for me, with Christine's books I become totally immerced in the world of the Caparthians...and that says a lot about the authors ability to write..I can not say.. that there is one that I prefered more.. I love the slight references to others characters in her books.. and so therefore it continues..Thank you for another great one to add to my collection

Summary: Wonderful book, totally awesome
Review: I waited impatiently for this book, the sixth in the Dark series, to be published. As usual, Ms Feehan did not disappoint. Usually after so many books in a series, the books begin to lose their appeal and become the same theme over and over. This isn't the case with Dark Fire. This is Darius and Tempest's story. Darius is the brother of Desiri, the heroine from Dark Challenge. He has not told his sister how close he is to changing, becoming the dreaded vampire. He doesn't see in color and hasn't for many centuries. He feels no emotion and has only been faking the feelings he shows to those in his care. The responsibility to his sister and the others in care are the only thing that has kept him from meeing the sun. Then he sees Tempest working on one of the group's vehicles and suddenly, colors become vivid and he feels emotions. Tempest becomes the most important thing in the world to him, for without her, he goes back to the empty existence, he had before. I totally enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a love story full of tenderness and steamy lust, caring, and devotion. Darius is a wonderful hero and sure to fill many women's fantasies of the ideal lover for he is willing to do something that no other Carpathian male has been willing to do. If you want to know what that is, buy the book. You won't be disappointed.
