When I got this book , little that I knew that it was going to change my thinking of how vampire really are, I grow out with the old kind of vampires, you know like count dracula, but Mrs freeham vampires are not only smelly and ugly with residing gums,nothing at all like my vampires, handsome and lonely and desperate looking like all of us for their lifemates, their other half any way I just want it to point out that I still believe that not all vampires are cruel and ugly or smell it
Ok Lucian is a truely vampire hunter he does not have any equal I believe ,just by his voice alone he was able to destroy his enemies. not even his twin brother Gabriel can defeat him, or Gregori, or Mickail the prince, any way Lucian was believed by his people to been one of the undeath a vampire, that he turned when him and his twin dissapear during the dark days of the turk wars. they were consider legends.
Any way after Lucian wake up and find out that he did have a lifemate he went to look for her and he find her. A cop that was train by navy seals, her name is jaxon. So as you can imagine what this mean to poor Lucian a ancient with no idea how to deal with a mortal woman that is soft like feather and that fights like rambo, that is determined to proctect him , like he need any proctection, he is a vampire hunter after all , from a lunatic responsible for her father and everybody that she care about …P>Humm this is really got alot of action in the story…. But I haven’t seen yet a heroine that really fight next to her men, and kick vampires all over, I like that kind of heroines…..humm
just kind like xena you know any way…….you will not be dessapoint it with any of the heroines in the dark serie they all drive their lifemates crazy with their right to be independet
but in the end they all realize that it is wort it to give their old lifes to be with this handsome dark men, I would too.
So enjoy the books.

Not interesting at all. No fear to overcome. No thrill. No building passion. Nothing. There has to be some common sense present even in a fantasy novel. The other “Dark” books are just as bad. Don’t buy them. Can someone point me to a real vampire romance?

This is the first book in the dark series since the first two (Dark Prince and Dark Desire) where I really like both the Carpathian male and his lifemate. Lucian, probably the most powerful of the Carpathians along with his twin brother Gabriel, finally finds a lifemate after keeping Gabriel alive for so many years until he’d found his. At the end of Dark Legend (which is Gabriel’s story) Lucian asks Gabriel to kill him so he won’t have to go on living a lonely and desolate existence. Gabriel attempts to do so but is stopped by his own lifemate who swears that Lucian will find his lifemate soon and must hold on to life until he does. Jaxon becomes the woman of Lucian’s dreams but there is one big difference between Jaxon and most of the other female lifemates–she won’t just sit by and let Lucian do all the fighting. He may be powerful, but Jaxon won’t take any chances with his life. She will have his back or he will do no fighting at all. And Lucian allows this, because unlike most other Carpathian males, most notably Gregori, he will not quell his lifemate’s aspirations. He accepts Jaxon as his equal which is one of the reasons that this book really worked for me. I also absolutely loved the ending and I love that Gabriel shows up often as a voice in Lucian’s head and vice versa. Another very interesting point in this novel is that Lucian met Jesus Christ some two thousand years earlier and desribes him as a truly beautiful and guileless mind. I really loved that picture. Feehan, rock on!

“Dark Guardian” is the story of twin Julian and his desire to find his lifemate before he succumbs to the dark in his soul that he has been keeping at bay for his brother’s sake.
Still filled with steamy scenes; this book left me unfulfilled. The ending was anti-climatic. What is supposed to be a major setup for justice was fizzled out. The issue could have been addressed much earlier; instead of stringing along the reader. As the reader I anticipated much more to the face-off between Julian and Jaxx’s stepfather and was bitterly disappointed.
My biggest irk was the domineering ways of Julian in “converting” Jaxx. For an incredibly independent and strong (both physically and mentally) woman, she capitulated rather easily. No major histronics or displays of anger. The character of Jaxx could have been done so much better. Instead it left me wanting more.
It must be tough for an author to continue to make the storylines fresh and interesting for the reader. How many ways can a Carpathian meet his lifemate and bond her? With this book it seems she has run out of the ways. Since I have gone this far in the series I have purchased the next one and hope it redeems it self. On the bright side it can’t be much worse than this one.
