Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
The stranger silently summoned her from across the continents, across the seas. He whispered of eternal torment, of endless hunger, of dark, dangerous desires. Somehow, American surgeon, Shea O'Halloran could feel his anguish, sense his haunting aloneness, and she ached to heal him, to heal herself. Drawn to the Carpathian mountains, Shea found a ravaged, raging man, a being like no other, and she trembled. In his burning eyes, his icy heart, she recognized the beloved stranger who'd already become a part of her. This Carpathian made had compelled Shea to his side. But was she to be his healer...or his prey? His victim...or his mate? Was he luring her into madness...or would his dark desire make her whole? Read by Juanita Parker. 12 CD's 12.5 Hrs.

Even after everything he'd been through, I had a hard time liking Jacques and I wanted to like him. He'd been so sweet and giving in Dark Prince, you just knew his story was going to be an easy one.
Boy was I wrong, but pleasantly surprised. Christine (funny, that I feel like I know her!) really made me WORK at getting to a place where I could even feel sorry for Jacques. That kept me turning pages.
You'll be rooting for him by the end!

What jacques goes through really gets to you. This story is about a love that stands through thick and thin. Jacques needs Shea just as much as she needs him. This novel is well written and filled with enough drama for an emotional roller coaster ride.
Write on, read on

Dark Desire happens aproximatelly 25 years after Dark Prince, the very first book of the series, and is the story of Jacques Dubrinski and Shea O'Halloran. He is your standard tormented anti-heroe, uber-dangerous and sexy, and she is the flawless woman (beautiful, compassionate, intelectually perfect) who will fall for his flaws and heal him. Not that there is any other chance: she is his lifemate, whether she wants to be or not, so it's a done deal and the reader knows that just by reading the intro.
So much perfection, clichés and predictability take a heavy toll on any book.
The romance happens in unbeliavable situations at times, which takes quite a toll on the story. The concepts of sharing of blood and sex, when being described as so intimate by the author, should be more carefully placed on the story instead of being used so repeatedly and many times without another reason than: "That's just how Carpathian males are" or "It's that kind of book, so people want to read about romance."
Dark Desire is still a lot better than its predecessor though, because the characters are better writen, the story is there and there is actually a plot. The writer took much better care of building a story and a background to the characters. Unfortunately, the dialogues remain repetitive, and it's fairly easy to tell where it is heading. Read the very first book, and you've read them all in terms of how the relatioship develops between the two main characters. Thus, the chances of buying a third book are remote.
All in all though, it's still enjoyable, but do not expect any sort of intelectual stimulation from this book.

It is not the typical romance but I loved it. This is a good change and I could not put it down.

Jacques is a tormented/tortured hero, and Shea is a heroine clearly in over her head, but the two make for a wonderful story. I can't wait to read the newest book in the series.
