Summary: Sensuous
Review: This was the third book I read, after Dark Fire and Dark Desire, obviously I'm not reading it in the right order. I thought Fire was best overall, and Gold was good because Aidan was a really sexy hero. But it seemed incomplete, for eg, I thought there was a lead-up to something sinister happening with the Ivan character but nothing came out of it and he just disappeared from the story. But bringing in Gregori was good, because it showed his darkness and his power, preparing us for his story in Dark Magic, which I hope to read soon, along with Dark Prince. Maybe Ms Feehan could write longer books so that the stories can work themselves out better? And I could have a longer read too!

Summary: Another Good Dark Book
Review: In this book we follow the actions of Aiden, one of the Golden Twins and appointed hunter of vampires. Aiden is very close to turning into the very creatures he hunts when he rescues a woman and child from his lastest vampire victim. The woman is well on her way to becoming a vampire when he attacks her thinking that she is already one. The results of the attack makes her one of his people, a converted Carpathian. Aiden has to overcome her trauma of the vampire's assult, her horror at becoming a bloodsucker and the problems of convincing a modern woman that she is bound to him for life and that life is going to be very long in order to claim her as his lifemate.As with the other Dark books this one had a few errors. Throughout the books we hear how the blood of vampires burn Carpathians and it makes them sick or damaged yet Aiden assults this woman by sucking her blood when he thought she was a vampiress? Other similar gaps in introduced logic of the series follow. If you can ignore the occasional word in need of a spell check as well you will enjoy the book.

Summary: FANTASTIC
Review: A WONDERFUL BOOK, COMPELLING AND INTERESTING. IF YOU READ ANY OTHER REVIEWS YOU KNOW THIS IS A VAMPIRE BOOK. BUT PLEASE DON'T CALL THEM VAMPIRES THEY PERFER CARPATHIANS THANKYOU VERY MUCH. THEY DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES BY NOT KILLING THEIR VICTIMS WHEN THEY DRINK. THEY ARE LOVEABLE CHARACTERS AND THE STORY WHICH I FEARED WOULD BE DUMB WAS WRITTEN WELL AND DID NOT GO OFF TOO DEEP INTO WEIRDNESS. IT WAS THE FIRST ONE OF THE SERIES I READ AND I ORDERED 4 OTHERS THE NEXT DAY. THE SERIES SHOULD BE READ IN ORDER BUT THIS ONE IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE. ADIAN IS A WONDERFUL HERO, AND THIS BOOK GIVES YOU SOME GOOD SUPRISES. THE CARPATHIANS ARE AN INTERESTING GROUP AND I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE REST. I ONLY HOPE SHE KEEPS WRITTING ABOUT THEM FOR A LONG LONG TIME.

Summary: Decent, but nothing special
Review: For any author, there is a challenge when writing a series of books. There always exists a threat that the books will become monotonous -- too much like one another. "Dark Gold" itself stands pretty well on its own. There's good chemistry between the hero and heroine, and the writing flows smoothly. Unfortunately, this particular installment is a pale imitation of the quality that came before. The beginning of the book is compelling, but after Alexandria and Aidan meet up, it's the same old struggle for Alexandria to deal with the change from human to Carpathian that Shea and Raven went through in much more compelling and realistic ways in "Dark Prince" and "Dark Desire." In addition, the struggle for dominance/protection between Aidan and Alexandria is the same old struggle that came in the "Dark" books that precede this one. It becomes a bit monotonous after awhile. On the other hand, we see more of long-time human/Carpathian relationships in this one in the form of faithful retainers that serve Aidan and his home. I appreciated that glimpse of a relationship that seems to transcend the "human as food and lesser being" concept that can become common in vampire-related literature. All in all, this is a decent read. Feehan writes well, and her characters and relationships are interesting. Unfortunately, this is the weakest installment in the "Dark" series, so it somewhat pales in comparison to the others.

Summary: A Little Disappointing
Review: After having read Dark Desire and Dark Prince (both 5+ keepers), I was a little disappointed in this story. It started out great with the vampire kidnapping Alexandria, and keeping her prisoner in a cold and sea sweep cave. The scenes were vivid and detailed, and you could almost feel her pain and confusion. Alex's rescue by Aidan was dramatic and riveting and probably the best part of the book (chapter 3). The disappointing thing is that the story was sort-of ho-hum after that. If I had read this book first, I might not be as critical. But knowing how good Ms Feehan books can be, this one was a little disappointing.

Summary: Dark Gold
Review: Great Book! I would highly recommend all of Christine Feehan's books. If you like Gothic Romances, you will love her books. Aidan Savage is an Ancient Carpathian, 800 years old, one of the oldest living Carpathians. All Carpathian males must find their lifemate or they will eventally turn to evil, lose their Carpathian ways and turn into a vampire. Aidan has found his lifemate Alex. Alex is not Carpathian she is human, a human with physic abilities. She fights to stay human and continue her everyday life with her brother Joshua. Since the death of their parents, she has raised Joshua on her own, and has a hard time dealing with the love others are willing to give to them. She fights the love Aidan, Stefan and Marie give her and Joshua. If she will only give in, she will find happiness for them both.

This book is based on the life of a woman who has raised her little brother by herself and then meets with destiny in the way of Aidan Savage, vampire hunter. He helps her through the transition into his world and she shows him that there can be hope. This is an amazing book and a must have for paranormal romance readers everywhere.

Summary: Did I read the same book?
Review: This book was so bad that I have to wonder if family and friends of the author wrote the other reviews. I feel like I was deceived since I got it based on those same reviews. To be honest I didn't (couldn't) actually read the whole thing. I think I threw it against the wall after 50 or 60 pages. I forced myself to read that far. I should have gone with my initial reaction and tossed it after the first 5 pages.
