 A great Read!!I July 4, 2008
This was a beautifully written story and one of the better ones.
Liked the fact it took Alex ages to come around to the hero, Aidan, and not accepting the 'Carpathian' changes in her so readily. I also liked that it was almost halfway through the book before they finally made love. The chemistry between them was great.
And I definitely like the fact, Aidan, being centuries old, didn't use modern day endearments, which in this case would have worked because of him living with and interacting with humans through the centuries.
A great tale!!!
 Best so far September 25, 2007
This was the second book I read in the series as Aidan's story appealed to me when i was looking through all the stories.
I particularly like the format of this story. I love that Aidan holds himself back from his lifemate Alexandria until the very last tortuous moment at the risk of his immortal soul so that when they finally get together the sexual tension is almost unbearable.
I highly recommend this book as a stand alone, but you will get more from it if you read Dark Prince first. I read Dark Prince, missed Dark Desire and then DArk Gold. The reading experience was not diminished in the slightest by not reading Dark Desire. Although that is also a good book.
Keep them coming July 26, 2004

This was my second novel of the Dark series, but it was a pleasure for me that the characters from this book were different from the first. Only one thing remains common, the female characters are very independent and have very strong opinions and they drive the male characters crazy because of that, and of course the male characters, how should I put it, have a mentality of a man of the 15th century. But they have to grow up and mature and realize that women have achieved their liberation from men. It's hard for them but they come to terms with that. This book introduces us to Aidan, one of the golden twins.... One of the ancients and very powerful Carpatians... This character unlike the other of his race is linked to his human "family", but for that you must read the book. Alexandria is also a novelty regarding the other female character, she's also not alone in her life. The love that they have for one another is taken through many ordeals until they can finally be with each other. This book maintains the same feelings of the last but introduces the friendship that the male character has towards other characters besides his lifemate or Carpatians. If you want loose yourself in another world, this is one the most beautifull to be lost in.
 good but not good enough January 14, 2003

This book promises much but doesn't quite do it. I found myself wanting to reach into the pages and slap the herione Alex for the first 2 thirds of the book, she comes across as weak, self-pitying and well.. downright annoying and childish, and as for Aidan against the weaker Alex he comes off looking like an insensitive bully and not very likeable becuase of that. However the final third does make up in part for that, Alex finally gets around to showing some "girlpower" and standing up for herself, Aidan finally starts showing that caring sensitive side we know all carpathian males have and the plot hots up sufficiently to get you hooked. However for me one question I had was never awnsered What about joshua?? what happens when he realises that allthough his sister is now immortal he is not...I hope Christine addresses this in a later book.
Well done the story just keep going. December 29, 2000

I agree with the reviewer from London. Everything it says is spot on. The only down side to it there was no Michail, Raven, Jacques & Shae in it. Gregori, the dark one doesn't make an apearence until near the end. I do hope we see more of them in the next book, Dark Magic. This is Gregori & Savannah's story. Well done and keep this series coming. I don't want it to end after 5 books.
