I loved, loved, loved this one! I thought Gabriel and Francesca were amazing together! I also love Lucien- he is very intriguing and powerful! Skyler was awesome and I hope she gets a great lifemate!
Gabriel and Francesca Del Ponce “I hunger for you, Francesca, hunger.You cannot touch me with your mind and your body and not expect me to react. It is like a raw craving in my bloodstream and I know it is there for all time. Do you know how many times I dreamed of you? How many times I woke in the night alone without you?” Gabriel is one of the legendary Daratrazanoff twins, the kind one. He has been buried willingly for many centuries and he thought to be dead by the Carpathians like his “...
I tried Christine Feehan before and couldn't get into her stories, but so many recommend her I had to give her another shot.Dark Legend, the story of Gabriel, the Carpathian hero who lived for centuries with one intent, keeping his Carpathian-turned-Vampire twin brother, Lucian, in check.Dark Legend opens with Gabriel awakening after a century's long, self-induced sleep in the earth, hungry and in need. Almost immediately, he meets up with Franchesca- who just happens to be his lifemate.How conv...
Originally read in June 2008Christine Feehan's Dark Legend is the 8th book in her "Dark Carpathians" series, and I must tell you that the books just get better and better as I continue. In this book we delve further into the legendary twin Carpathian hunters Gabriel and Lucian. The last couple of books have "whispered" to us of them, but as this is Gabriel's story, we learn a lot about him and his brother here. This is also the story of Francesca Del Ponce, Gabriel's amazing lifemate.For two tho...
Maybe 3.5 starsI will freely admit that this is a bit of a "cop out" rating. I was pretty unhappy with the Hero for the first 40% of the book, and then pretty pissed with him for the remainder. The heroine is almost too saintly and I think she had a bit of a Pollyanna complex. However, it is a very good story. I am not sure I have forgiven Gabriel for what he unintentionally did to Francesca all those years ago or what he INTENTIONALLY did to her in this book, but I hold no ill will towards them...
Such a great book, and I knew what was going on, and yet it was so freaking good, knowing that Lucien was just faking it, to protect Gabriel! So good, so loving this series!
Just when you think you've met the oldest and most powerful of Christine Feehan's Carpathian males, she produces one who's even older and more powerful. We've heard the stories about the legendary Daratrazanoff twins, Gabriel and Lucian. Gregori's older brothers were great fighters and protectors of the Carpathian people. Everyone has believed them dead for centuries, but they've really been locked beneath the earth all this time.The brothers made a pact early on that should either one become a
It had been a while since I read this author but the book blurb for this one sounded interesting. Within the first 2 chapters I remembered why hadn't read her in a while.If you take out all the repetitive thoughts and rehashed dialogue, plus all the times the h swears she's a strong, independent wanna-be-human who doesn't need a man, this book would be about 3 chapters long. We could probably cut that down to 2 1/2 if we remove all the mention of the H's white teeth.The subtitle should be An Ame...
4.5 Sexy, Poignant, Forever and Ever Lifemate Love Stars!
I have a secret…….when it comes to reading books …it’s like living with OCD….you know…obsessive compulsive disorder!!!!! If I start reading the first book in a series I have to read them all……what a luck that my friend gave me the first 12 or 13 books in the Dark Series….which I finished reading nonstop for the next two weeks….and before I reached book 12, I had in my possession the entire series (after doing a web search to find where they could be bought!!!).Hunger…that’s what I felt……turning
Gabriel has bound his life to Lucian, who has risen before him. Francesca finds Gabriel, who desperately needs blood, stumbling down the walkway in modern day Paris, France. She mistakes him for a homeless man. When the shelter is too full to take him, she decides to take Gabriel to her home. Once at her home, she grabs a bowl to fix him soup. Gabriel can wait no longer. He must have blood. He tells Francesca he is sorry. She knows what Gabriel needs and offers her life for his, exposing her nec...
I was extremely surprised of how much I adored this book. I was frustrated when I realized it would be once more about new characters and not the ones we already know and love. Although I was certain I would have a great time with it as the previous installment already got us introduced to this respected and feared fighter. Gabriel was one of my favorites so far. And I adored his mate. While she annoyed me at the beginning, she grew on me fast. In this installment we get to read about a couple c...
