Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The eighth entry in Feehan's popular vampire series (Dark Legend; Dark Fire) follows the same formula as her previous books a Carpathian (an immortal vampire hunter) meets his "lifemate," binds himself to her through an ancient ritual involving blood-letting and hot sex, and together they battle the undead. This time around, Feehan spices up her stale story line with her smart and spunky heroine, police officer Jaxon Montgomery. Former Navy SEAL Tyler Drake, Jaxon's maniacal stepfather, has made it his mission to kill anyone she befriends, which has made her equally determined not to form any close ties. Nevertheless, she can't help feeling intimately connected to Carpathian Lucian Daratrazanoff, who takes her into his care when she is shot while searching a warehouse. Convinced that Jaxon is his life mate, Lucian binds himself to her and brings her "over to the Carpathian race." Together, Jaxx and Lucian destroy vampires, battle Drake and read each other's minds. Their romance is heartfelt and convincingly portrayed. Less believable, however, is the fact that Jaxx doesn't object to her Carpathian transformation, especially considering her independent nature. Nevertheless, Feehan's newest is a skillful blend of supernatural thrills and romance that is sure to entice readers who can stomach the occasional gory scene.

From AudioFile

This installment in the Dark series finds Jax, an independent and driven cop, joining forces with Lucian, a centuries-old Carpathian. Newcomers to the series will learn the important differences between Lucian and his kind and the vampires whose forces he does not care to join. Juanita Parker does justice to this romance novel. She maintains both an intensity and a sensitivity that are fitting for the strong Jax and her interactions with Lucian as they come together personally and professionally. Parker deftly draws out the contrasts between light and darkness, which form the underpinnings of the plot. No prior experience with the series is required.

1.0 out of 5 stars Downward trend, Jun 29 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Guardian (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm writing this so late in the game because I wanted to see how long it would take for this author to realize the magic is gone out of this series. I had great hopes fot this book, as I have enjoyed all the previous "Dark" books. However, it's trite, boring, predictable and has a heroine you want to beat (...)and then the hero too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jaxon has humor, Jun 18 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Guardian (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read every single book in the Dark series and have liked most of them, especially the later ones. The one thing that bothers me the most about each female is that they have a tendency to dwell on the actions of their Carpathian lifemates and retain anger about them, thereby extending needless conflict. I prefer Jaxon's character because, once converted, she accepts Lucian's action. She can't reverse the process, and there is no point in railing at him because she loves him and knows the reasons behind what he did. More to the point, I love the fact that she learns to control her new powers and not fear being a Carpathian (extremely unlike Raven from Dark Prince, whose constant irrational fear sets my teeth on edge). She is strong in her own right and fights by Lucian's side, which in itself sets this book apart from the rest of the series. Perhaps her best characteristic is her sense of humor, which is only shared by one other female character, Tempest Trine from Dark Fire. Levity is important in any book, and Ms. Feehan acheives it here in moments that should be serious but end up being delightfully captivating because of the interaction between Lucian and Jaxon. I prefer Jaxon as a female character because she has what most other romance heroines lack: common sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great read!, April 28 2004
This review is from: Dark Guardian (Mass Market Paperback)
From the back of the book...
He was the dark guardian of his people. So how, after centuries of a bleak, soulless existence, had he, Lucian Daratrazanoff, suddenly come to crave petite, curvy, colorful lady cop Jaxon Montgomery, who foolishly made it her life's work to protaect others from harm?

Fiercely daring, Jaxx would sacrifice anything to shield others-particularly since a deadly menace dogged her every footstep, threating all who got close to her. And strangely seductive, piercingly erotic Lucian was no execption. Lucien was powerfully, perilously mesmerizing-oddly gentle yet clearly a born preadtor. He had vowed to posses her, to guard her for all time. Yet with his every thirsty kiss, was he drawing Jaxon more deeply into danger... and his dark, mysterious desires?
