About this book: ( 3rd in a series)
Alexandria Houton will sacrifice anything to protect her orphaned little brother. When both encounter unspeakable evil in the swirling San Francisco mists, out of the darkness swoops Aidan Savage, a golden being more powerful and mysterious than any other creature of the night. The ageless Carpathian male snatches them from a hideous fate. But if Alex surrenders to Aidan's savage unearthly seduction, will he save her brother?

My thoughts:
Actually, I really enjoyed this book. Now, a few years ago, I read the first in the series Dark Prince and I enjoyed it. I thought that there was too much sex in it for my taste so I figured that I wouldn't read any more of these vampire books. Well, my cousin encouraged me to try and read the second one so last year I started the second one and hated it. Now, my aunt has started reading more and she's reading this series and kept telling me that I should give it another chance. So I picked up the second book again and finished it and it wasn't too bad I guess. So I decided to give this one, (the third) a chance and I absolutly loved it. :) I'm so glad that I read it. I loved the characters and I loved the adventure in this one. I loved the teasing between the heroine and the vampire. It was fab! So, all in all, after all the bad things that I have said about this series, I must take back. I like it and I apologize to anybody that loves this series and to Christine Feehan (even though I know she won't read this) for bad mouthing it. But beware if you don't like a lot of sex in books, cause these have a lot.

About this book:
The stranger silently summons her from across the continents, across the seas. He whispers of eternal torment, of endless hunger...of dark, dangerous desires. And somehow American surgeon Shea O'Halloran can feel his anguish, sense his haunting aloneness, and she aches to heal him, to heal herself. Drawn to the far Carpathian mountains, Shea finds a ravaged, raging man, a being like no other. And her soul trembles. For in his burning eyes, his icy heart, she recognizes the beloved stranger who's already become part of her. This imperious Carpathian male compels Shea to his side. But is she to be his healer...or his prey? His victim...or his mate? Is he luring her into madness...or will his dark desire make her whole?

My thoughts:
Okay. I didn't read this whole book this year. I read part of it last year and ended up not finishing it. So...I ended up finishing it this year because I wanna try and finish reading the rest of the series. I hated this book. I couldn't stand it at all. The ending was okay but the beginning and middle was torture to get though in my opinion. I didn't like the characters, I didn't like the place it took place in, I didn't like...all the love making in the book either. I think everything just took a factor in why I didn't like this book. Now, I've been informed that the rest of the series is really good so I will try reading the rest of the series. I can't really say much more than the fact that I didn't like this book so I'm ending it here.
