Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Another absolute winner in the "Dark" series (the others being; Dark Prince, Dark Gold, and soon Dark Magic). The stories of these Carpathian males and their seach for their "lifemates" are captivating! In this story, Jacques is drugged, tortured and buried alive. His family has not been able to connect with him at all and think he is dead. Buried for seven years, he makes a mental connection with Shea. A brilliant american doctor and psychic, she can't get the images of Jacques out of her mind. So begins an journey to save a tormented soul. Sheas desire to help Jacques as a patient but not as a man; and Jacques total belief that Shea is his lifemate, make these characters very driven and compelling. I am rereading all of these stories again just so I can stay connected to these characters until Gregoris story (Dark Magic) comes out in July. These books are simply amazing! See for yourself. KCS

Summary: Loving Carpathians isn't easy
Review: I found this book to be utterly mezmerising. You can almost feel the pain and confusion of both of the main characters, but you san also feel the blinding love that the characters feel for eachother, and that any pain they go through is worth it in the end. Our hero, Jacques, is a tortured soul, both literly and mentaly, who strives to overcome his madness for the protection of his people, his mate, and all of mankind. For only Jaques knowes the idenity of the true threat to their people and humanbeings as well, the vampire. The heroin, Shea, has her own problems to deal with, like discovering that she is only half human, that she has a preordained lifemate, that she is the only thing standing between him and dark madness,And that she had discovered the love of a lifetime, and with Carpathians, that is a very long time. With intresting and dangerous supporting characters and an influx of fresh Carpathian blood introduced,Dark Desire not anly offers a sensitive, origional, and sometimes quite humerous tale, it also leaves the reader wishing and waiting in anticipation for future books about the great Carpathians and their neverending struggles to protect humanity. Author Christine Feehan has once again drawn us intot he unpredictable and stunningly beautiful world of the Carpathian in their quest to save humanity from monsterous emotionally dead vampires, and caused us to shiver in delight and gasp in terror at the world where she has so skillfully drawn us in. This book is a definate keeper and will do proud any collector fo fine literary works.

Summary: It's good, but it's no The Vampire Lestat
Review: OK, so maybe I'm jaded. I compare all "vampire" books to the first one I read (and my on-going favorite), Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat. I like strong, sexy, fun, tortured vampires who get themselves in all kinds of trouble. I didn't think Dark Desire matched up. First, the hero, Jacques, was kindof irritating. He's supposed to be totally fragmented and on the edge of sanity, but he's acts totally normal toward the heroine. Plus, there's this supposed lifemate thing where he is trying to convince Shea that she is his lifemate (and the "his" here is *very* possessive). This is on-going, and left me thinking ALRIGHT ALREADY! We get it - she's supposed to be your stupid lifemate. Let's move on, please. The couple talks about little else. And Shea is equally irritating. I was thinking that she needed to move on, also. How long can you be *so* morbid and convinced that you're not going to be with a guy who's literally been in your head for like years? Here's a summary of Jacques and Shea's conversations: You're my lifemate. No I'm not. Yes you are. No I'm not. Yes you are. No - I'm going to die. No you're not. Yes you are. No you're not. Ad nauseum. Oh, by the way, there are some other *much* more interesting Carpathians wandering around throughout the book, and there's a bad guy and some human henchman. The other Carpathians are a much-needed break from the Jacques-Shea tedium. The vampire hunting plot is not all that surprising, but is also a break from the tedium and thus was welcomed. I gave this two stars because it could have been a good story, and because I really liked all the other Carpathians. I intend to read about them. I was just sick and tired of the two this particular book was about when it finally ended.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: It is so so hard to find good vampire romances (ok, they're not vampires, but they are). I admire Ms. Feehan's writing style, and the way her characters leap off the page and into your heart. The chemistry between Shea and Jacques feels very real, and I found myself wanting to protect him myself. I am nearly finished with this book, but couldn't wait to share what a great read it is! I hope that this will be a long and intense series, because I'll never tire of these powerful, sexy Carpathian males.

Summary: All my love!
Review: It's been a long time since I have picked up a book and could not put it down despite ringing phones, noisy neighbors and alarm clocks. Ms. Feehan has done an outstanding job and I must admit that I absolutely love those Carpathian men. I am highly anticipating the 4th book in the series.

Summary: Another standing ovation for Ms. Feehan!
Review: I had read Dark Prince and absolutley loved it! Then, i read Dark Desire...Jacques, brother to the Dark Prince is very terrifying. But, you feel this sensual, passionate pull to him. I didnt want it to end. I hope Ms. Feehan has many good things in store for all of her characters. Im praying that she keeps writing about the Carpathian race. I find them a most intriguing bunch! Thank you, Ms. Feehan for an excellent read. Cant wait for Dark Gold and Dark Magic!

Summary: The Best Supernatural book I've Read
Review: Dark Desire is the first book that I have read by Christine Feehan, but it will definitely not be my last as we speak I am ordering Dark Prince and pre-ordering Dark Gold. I have a feeling I will love this series. This book has everything a great romance needs. It has mystery and suspense, it has great sexual tension, amazing action, and above all else it has incredible characters and a story that goes a long with it. Usually with elements of this kind the story is neglected but Feehan did a great job of intertwining everything. I truly loved this book and I would recommend it to anyone.
