Summary: Grabs Hold of You and Never Let's Go!
Review: We first meet Jacques Dubrinsky in Dark Prince as the carefree, fun-loving brother to the Prince. As we open the pages of Dark Desire we see that personality shattered as he is tortured and betrayed by one close to him. The only mind path he has left is to an American, Shea O'Halloran - who let him suffer and refused to help. Now the only reason Jaques continues to live is to make her pay - little does he know she is his lifemate!Although Dark Prince will always be my favorite, Dark Desire came in a pretty close second. The anguish that Jacques feels and the suffering he endures is so intense, you feel his pain. The connection Shea feels to this tortured soul is unmistakable and from that, their relationship changes and grows. This was a more intense read than Dark Prince, but just as intriguing. Of course, having Mikhail, Raven, Byron and Gregori throughout the book was an added plus. I was facinated by the plot with its connection to Dark Prince and the ending was absolutely incredible! Christine Feehan is a unique author and I for one cannot wait until her next installment!

Summary: ABSOLUTLY WONDERFUL!!!
Review: While browsing through the bookstore for something to read one day, I stumbled across Ms. Feehan's book "Dark Gold". Being totally impressed, I rushed out and acquired all of the other books available in the "Dark" series, and spent a weekend enhaling them. Since then, I have read and re-read all of them, but Dark Desire is by far and away my favorite. It has a strong, compelling story line that really grabs your attention and keeps it from the first page to the last. After reading scores of books where the poor, helpless little heroine has to be rescued by the big, strong man, it was an absolute treat to finally read a book where the WOMAN rescues the MAN. Not only physically, but emotionally as well. Shea is the type of woman we would all like our daughters to grow up to be. Strong, educated, independent, brilliant and beautiful. And completely unwilling to take any guff off of Jacques. And then of course there is Jacques. Strong, gorgeous and increadibly sexy. Who wouldn't like to have him take a bite of you. I have just ordered Ms. Feehan's newest book, Dark Challenge, and I hope that she continues this tradition of writing exciting, sexy romances where the men are men and the women more than hold their own.

Summary: Extraordinary Book / Highly Recommended:
Review: This is the second in a series of phenomenal books by an extraordinary author. One of the pluses for this book is that you do not need to read the first book "Dark Prince" to read and understand the second. This book is a twist on the vampire series, with Carpathians as the central characters, who when they final succumb to evil, become vampires. So far (as of the time I wrote this only four books in the series had been released) Dark Desire is my favorite. I found the characters very believable and found myself quickly enchanted by Jacques. I think the difficulties both of the main characters had in this book were handled with extreme care and with extreme realism. Unfortunately, like us, the Carpathians have issues that are just as hard for them to deal with and are ones that are not easily shrugged off. I do not keep a lot of books, but this one goes on the keeper shelf and I will admit that I have reread it numerous times (same with the other three in the series).

Review: I just reread this book for the third time. This series is incredible. This book caputred me (again, for the third time), kept me up until 2am... What a fabulous group of characters Miss Feehan has created. I'm an avid fan of the entire series. I look forward to seeing Jacques and Shea mentioned in future books.

Summary: Outstanding new author
Review: Dark Desire is the first of Catherine Feehan's books I've read but it will definitely not be the last! Her charactors caught my attention from the first page and never let go. I couldn't put the book down. She brings a new twist to a favorite genre. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of her next book. I highly recommend this author.

Summary: What a love story
Review: Vampire romances have long been my favorite genre and Christine Feehan gives it that perfect twist! I got hooked on this author by picking up dark prince, and fell in love, but dark desire is my favorite one so far...I loved everything about this book! Jacques is so sexy and Shea is the perfect lifemate for him...I got so into this book. When Ms. Feehan describes the torments that Jacques(and Shea through him)is put through by the "vampire" hunters, I just wanted to jump in and save him! I highly recommend this book and this series to all.

Summary: Dark Desire from The Bookdragon Review
Review: "Feehan creates a solid, stand-alone novel so readers won't have to worry about finding the first book. Through flashbacks as Jacques recovers his memory, she introduces the characters from the first book and provides tantalizing hints of the stories yet to come. A fantastic find to celebrate the millenium by a top notch new author." Excerpt reprinted from The Bookdragon Review.

Summary: What a wonderful sequel!
Review: Although this book stands on its own, it makes a wonderful sequel to Dark Prince. We saw Jacques selflessly help his brother in the previous novel and are given his story here. I was not expecting the opening to Dark Desire, and the way the story unfolds is gripping. I know it sounds cliché, but I really did not want to put this story down. What an imagination Ms. Feehan has! Following our hero through this torturous part of his life, with the help of his lifemate, keeps the reader enthralled. A logical doctor, who wants to remain stubbornly independent, Shea can't help but try and heal Jacques. Many things are curious to her when she first encounters him, but she takes everything in stride, trying to rationally explain everything away. She doesn't realize her potential or what exactly she is, but she stubbornly stays by Jacques side, even when everyone else thinks he's "turned" and is crazed. It is hard for Jacques and Shea to know who is friend and who is foe because she doesn't know anyone and Jacques has partially lost his memory (from blocking out the years of pain). It is ultimately her calming influence that saves our hero. The twist in the plot of who is the "bad guy" is not so hard to figure out, but keeps the story interesting. People pop in and out of the story from the previous book, helping to enhance the plot, while there are others we don't see at all, but are briefly mentioned to remind us that their story will (hopefully) be upcoming. Adian, Julian, Gregory, Byron, Michail and Raven as well as others, flow in and out strengthening their own bonds and their ties to the reader. Happy reading!
