Customer Reviews of Dark Desire (Thorndike Press Large Print Romance Series)

Jacques is a man teetering on the brink of insanity after years of torment. Shea is a brilliant surgeon with an endless supply of compassion and a lifetime of loneliness, struggling to find the cure for a blood disorder that will eventually claim her life. She is the one person who can keep him from madness, the other half of his soul. He is the one person who can end her loneliness and provide her the unswerving, unconditional love she both needs and fears.

Christine Feehan has created a fascinating world, filled with drama, passion, and characters that grab your interest and hang on. The Carpathian life mate bond is an intense merging of souls, wonderfully depicted by Ms. Feehan's talented pen. What woman could resist the idea of a gorgeous man who will love her unconditionally, for all eternity, putting her life and happiness before his own?

Whether you're a fan of vampire romance or not, this series is not to be missed for romance readers who love intense, passionate, emotional reads. I can't wait for the next installment.

Good job, Ms. Feehan!

Grabs Hold of You and Never Let's Go!
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!

maybe Feehan isn't so bad after all...
I've only read one of Feehan's books before, _Dark Magic_, and I didn't really like it. The hero, Gregori, was domineering to a fault, the heroine was a bit of an idiot, and the writing was repetitive. In spite of my feelings about that book, I decided to try Feehan's immensely popular series again. This time, I somehow managed to pick a book a little more to my tastes. In this book, Shea O'Halloran, a young doctor, has been having dreams about a man in terrible pain. She goes to the Carpathian Mountains, the land of her birth, in order to escape men who seem to believe that she is a vampire. While there, Shea finds the man from her dreams, who at first attacks her out of a mistaken belief that she is the cause of his pain. Shea tries to heal this man, Jacques, and, in spite of herself, she begins to fall in love with him. Jacques believes that she is his lifemate, the only one who can keep the madness within him at bay. He would stop at nothing to protect her from the men who want to hurt her and the vampire who wants to claim her as his own, the same vampire who betrayed him (Jacques). For those of you familiar with the series, this book also has Mikhail, Raven, Gregori, and Byron (who I'm including in this list, although I'm not sure if he's ever in another book).

Because of my previous experience with this series, I was a little wary about reading this book, but, for me, this book was a whole lot better than _Dark Magic_. Jacques is domineering, yes, but Shea can, for the most part, hold her own against him, since his will often seems to turn to putty around her. I really enjoyed the story itself, even though the human villain characters were once again like cardboard cutouts of Badness. The writing seemed less repetitive than in _Dark Magic_, where references to the main characters often involved the use of the same words, over and over again. Shea was in some serious denial, though - it seemed like it took her forever to realize that Jacques was not just a man with a serious blood disorder, even though he drank glasses of blood and survived for years with a stake through his chest. Still, this book was pretty enjoyable, and I think I'll try to find more books in this series that I can like as much, or more, than this one.
