Summary: good read
Review: I enjoyed this carpathian book for the fact that the heroine didn't immediatly fall under Aidans power she was still her own person and he was not in to much of a hurry to claim her without giving her some time to adjust to him. It was more interesting for the fact that their was lots of interaction between other carpathians and humans that were aware of what the carpathians really are and other characters. This author improves with time she seems to be getting better with a little more meat to her characters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It will captivate readers from the first page!
Review: Christine Feehan's books are different from the other romance novels on the market. Each book captures readers and shocks them from the first page to the last. This book begins with Alexandria and her brother being captured by a vampire. They are not rescued until after the vampire has taken her blood. When Aidan, the gorgeous Carpathian vampire hunter does come to save them he thinks that Alexandria has been turned into a vampiress and almost kills her before realizing that she is his lifemate.
The fact that he is rich and gorgeous pales beside the facts that he drinks blood and sleeps in the ground and has made it so that she must do the same to survive. Alexandria must deal with the emotional conflicts in herself, the jealousy of having to rely on others to help care for her brother, and added to that the fact that she is a target for any vampire in the area. I recommend this book to all readers. It has something for everyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great Read!
Review: "Dark Gold" is the third book in Christine Feehan's wildly popular "Dark" series, and it does not disappoint. Vivid characters, an exciting and well-written storyline and a lot of steamy sex combine to make a fabulously sensual tale that will leave readers craving a Carpathian of their own.

Alexandria Houton has one purpose in her life, and that is to protect and care for her young brother, Joshua. Since the death of their parents in a tragic accident, Alexandria has struggled to make ends meet for herself and Joshua. A talented graphic artist, Alexandria is thrilled when one of the most prominent video game designers in the U.S. takes an interest in her work. Leaving her brother outside with a homeless man they have befriended, Alex meets her potential employer for an interview at a fancy restaurant. But in the middle of her meal, Alexandria is overcome by a feeling of evil and impending doom. She rushes out to check on Joshua to find him entranced by a soulless monster, a vampire. She manages to save her brother, but both are kidnapped and taken by the vampire to his lair.

It seems as though Alex and Josh are about to meet their untimely end, when out of the night comes Aidan Savage, a powerful Carpathian hunter, who destroys the vampire and then turns to the task of destroying Alex, believing that she is a deranged vampiress. But before he completes his unpleasant task, Aidan suddenly realizes that he is seeing in colour for the first time in countless centuries. And that can only mean one thing - that this poor beaten and bloodied woman is his lifemate!

Aidan brings Alexandria and Josh to his home where he inadvertently converts Alex into a Carpathian by exchanging blood with her (not knowing that the vampire had already completed two blood exchanges). When Alex awakens she is terrified by Aidan and by the thought of what she has become. As time passes Aidan tries to help Alex adjust to being a Carpathian, but many aspects of her new life are hard to accept. Aidan wants to keep Alexandria close in order to keep her safe from harm, but Alex needs to have her independence. As these two try to work out a way to balance their needs, Alex finds herself falling for Aidan, though his immense power still scares her.

Alex and Aidan are an explosive couple when they come together, and the reader is treated to some incredibly hot and steamy scenes. Aidan, though he is overbearing and arrogant at times, is a fantastic hero who readers will adore. Likewise, Alexandria is a truly lovable heroine who will win readers over with her courage, determination, and sense of humour.

"Dark Gold" is a wonderfully entertaining read that will leave readers sated and satisfied. Feehan expertly renders Alexandria's internal struggle, and captivates her readers as we watch Aidan and Alex find all they ever wanted and needed in each other's arms. There is a perfect dose of danger and excitement in this story, as vampires close in on Aidan and Alex in an attempt to take Alexandria for their own. All in all, I truly enjoyed this book and I'm sure that you will too. So sit back, relax and get ready for a very sexy read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dark Gold was a nice tribute to Aidan....
Review: I have been eagerly awaiting this one ,wanting to read about Aidan after reading about him in Dark Prince and his short appearance in Dark Magic. This book lived up to my expectations.

I thought Alexandria was a great character, and Christine was wise to make her somewhat different from the other women of the series, in order to avoid sounding repetitious.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dark series n. 3
Review: Alexandra is a beautiful young woman, who is trying to bring up her younger brother. She is a talented graphic designer, but impoverished. While on a dinner with a potential job offer (who has more than work in mind) Alexandra, who is psychicly tallented feels a malevolent force calling. She has left her brother outside with an older man who has become their friend. Alexandra rushes off to check on her brother, and finds him mesmerized by the vampire. Alexandra saves him, but the two of them are kidnapped, and the vampire begins trying to convert Alexandra. Aidan (our hero) finds the two, and thinks Alexandra a vampiress at first, trying to kill her brother. He realizes his mistake after almost killing her, and saves the two, in the process realizing that she is his lifemate. This book deals with the trust issues between two strong willed people, one of whom (Alexandra) doesn't want to belive any of this is happening.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wanted: Carpathian Male who has carnal thoughts..
Review: Dark Gold is different yet from those it follows. We are no longer in the Carpathian Mountains with Mikhail and Raven but rather we are on the west coast of America. Aidan is the hunter of the region and he is very good at what he does. While hunting a vampire that has been leaving a messy trail all over the place, he finds a woman and a boy. After mistaking her for a vampiress, he is in the process of putting her out of her misery when he realizes that she is in fact his lifemate.

This book contains everything that the others do in the respect of sensuality, intelligent characters and outstanding abilities. But this book is a bit different where you arent completely lost without having read the ones before it. Aidan has been on his own for years with little to no contact with other Carpathians. Alexandria is an artist who draws vampires but doesnt truely believe in them. But after she is converted into a Carpathian, she has a hard time understanding it all as being real.

Another great book by Ms. Feehan. This series is highly addictive!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Book,
Review: Christine Feehan is a very talented author. I can't wait to read more of her books. Dark Gold was totally awesome. I keep reading it over and over. Christine's Dark series is worth reading and keeping every book. Aidan and Alexandria's romance was everything that we could hope for during a Carpathian romance. Can't wait for the rest of the series to be published.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it!
Review: It's hard to believe but this series just keeps getting better and better. I was hooked from page one. Ms. Feehan focuses more on the human relationships in this book than she has in the previous ones. I bought the whole Dark series after reading Dark Prince. Once you start, you can't stop. The stories and wonderful and the world of Carpathians believable. Great series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved it!!!
Review: I started this book and I could not put it down. I actually started to read this one first. I did not go in order. It had tons of action. I just loved it. Christine Feehan is great.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A whirlwind of emotions
Review: This is the third book in the Dark series, the first two Dark Prince and Dark Desire were wonderful. The heros are Carpathian. They must drink blood to survive but they don't kill their prey like true vampires do. They can transform into anything and have telepathic abilities. They also have a big problem, their race is dying out. There are very few women and when they have children most don't live past a year and most are born male. They have recently discovered that a few human women can becaome thier lifemates. These women are telepathic and can survive the conversion without going insane. Our heroine in this book is such a woman. Alexandria is a struggling graphic artist in San Fransisco. She is trying to raise her younger brother alone after their parents died. She ends up being kidnapped by a vampire( a Carpathian who has turned to the evil) and he has exchanged blood with her. She is rescued by Aidan who after almost killing her(thinking she was a vampire herself) must give her blood to kill the poisen the vampire gave her. She goes through the conversion but not willingly. She hates what she is becoming and hates Aidan for turning her this way. He has realized that she is his true lifemate and struggles to protect her in this modern world. She is stubborn and insists that she be able to have her freedom. She soon discovers that she is very strongly linked to Aidan and like to tease him and longs to hear his laughter. She is unaware that he hasn't had any emotions for over 800 years until she cam into his life. Together they struggle to find even ground. He has been hunting several vampires that have been preying on San Fransisco and when one takes her brother he uses all his strength to save him. Alexandria sends him her strength telepathicly and together they kill the evil. This has been the funniest of the books so far and I enjoyed it a bit more because of it. I can't wait to read Gregori's story next. If you want great books get the Dark series, it won't dissapoint.
