I loved this one! It was so great because the plot was so different than the other ones. Falcon is a completely new character and we get to see a little more of what happened before the current time frame. Sarah, instead of being the hesitant, unknowing lifemate, makes choices that affect both of them in such a way as to show her complete and utter trust. I also love the fact that Sarah has been dreaming of Falcon. The whole story was no longer really a surprise invasion from a guy. It really wa...more
THIS BOOK WAS HORRIBLE. Can I give it "Zero" stars? This is the second book in the series that I attempted to read. I tried the first book in the series twice on Audio book but could not get through it. So I loaded it on my reader to put my own voice to it didn't even make it half way through.

"Lei gli sfiorò timidamente il viso con la punta delle dita. La dolce carezza di un’artista. Gli toccò il volto, come se fosse cieca e il ricordo di lui fosse scolpito nella sua anima, e non avesse bisogno di guardarlo."

As the story begins, we learn that long ago, Mikail's father sent out several warriors of the Carpathian race to journey around the world and fight the vampire threat. No one knew about these men or their mission. Falcon was one of those warriors. He's been alive for more than a millennium and never thought he would find a lifemate, so far from his people. He feels like he is unable to fight the growing darkness within him for much longer, so he decides to return to the Carpathian Mountains one...more
Witnessing a vampires evil, the being hunted by that vampire for 15 years, left Sara Marten more aware than most humans of what can be. Having her own dark angel to help her through the traumatic events in her life even if it was just an image to hold in her mind, words to hold in her heart, she was able to eluded that evil. The words had been written centuries ago, Falcon never realized they had the power to help anyone but himself. Finding each other would call the ancient vampire to them both...more

I wasn't quite sure what to expect w/ this book/story. But since I've liked the other books in this series, I was instantly drawn to it! First off, I must say that I was suprised it was only 126 pages, and was more like a novella than the other stories I have read in the series so far. Second, I found the story a fun enjoyable read w/ action, humor, and romance; and found Falcon and Sara's characters sweet and endearing. Third, and finally, I loved the inclusion of Mikhail and Raven characters a...more

This book kind of surprised me. Sara was already in love with Falcon and she already knew about vampires....it really cut to the chase. Of course, it was a typical Carpathian book but it didn't feel like the h was forced this time. The only problem is that because it was a short book, well, it was just too short!
I liked Falcon and Sara together. Sara has gone through a lot but always had "her dark angel" to help her. Of course, Falcon lived up to her expectations.

My least favorite so far of Feehan's Dark series. There was barely any character build up, and the story rolled straight into the main, very obvious plot without any build up either. I love paranormals, especially with romance & am not a tough critic. But sheesh! Talk about sappy lines and total clichés. The main female character started out as someone who would be strong & independent but then she just went along with everything like a puppy on a leash. Plus the characters I have really...more
Omg finally a good book!!! I liked the the princes, dark one, and golden ones story...Julian and book six were torture!!!
But this was refreshing!!! The man was cultured and the woman wasn't a nit wit. Also we finally get all the characters together! Thank god. I was worried cause every story was getting to be the same--
I am man I rule you do as I say
Oh I'm just a poor little woman that can't do anything but fawn over you
I liked that we could skip the "omg what are you" crap--she already knew......more

I recently read Dark Prince, the first book in Feehan's Dark Carpathians series. It made me wonder whether I'd completely lost my mind to enjoy the others I'd read of the series. However, I enjoyed this story much better than Dark Prince. Perhaps because it was a short story and space was limited, there was little whining and stalling by the heroine. Plus, Falcon is alpha without being controlling and insensitive. Given that those two things bothered me most about earlier Feehan, it's not surpri...more

Quick Review:
Another good book in this series. I liked that you get to see several previous couples in this book, and see what they've been up to. Also, you can tell that the author is starting to bring the overall story together and I love that. Although most of the books in this series feel somewhat similar, there is enough difference and variety for me to still enjoy them. The main characters in this story were unique in that the woman, Sara, automatically accepted Falcon. There was no tempor...more

Even though Falcon's not as overbearing as the more annoying Carpathian (cave)men, he just isn't a complex and therefore not interesting enough a character for me. My feelings regarding Sara are too lukewarm too. The problem lies NOT with me disliking them - more on me being likely to forget them easily. Don't even get me started on the development of the love story because when the book started, the two of them were already crazy about each other so yeah, the development's practically nonexiste...more
I have been reading random books from the Dark series, and I must say it is refreshing to finally find one book where the hero is not forcing the heroine against her will.
That being said, the way she easily accepted everything about the Carpathian lifestyle was bordering on hilarious.
I like the concept of the Carpathians and I do find myself curious about their difficulty in conceiving female Carpathians so I will probably keep reading more.

This story was pretty descent. I like the fact the it was not typical in the sense that different powers were displayed in this story. The great thing about a short story is that it forces you to get right down to the freakin point. The women of the story did not have much time to be annoying and super independent to the point of being obnoxious and the male had no time to be so over bearing and ubber protective that he actually comes off as being an overbearing, domineering a**hole. I would de...more
I really loved this book. I think this is now my favourite in the series so far. What I really loved about was that before Falcon bound Sara to him he asked for her consent and before he before the mating ritual between them he disclosed everything to her. There was no strong-arming or blindsiding or manipulation or overbearing control. The whole of Falcon and Sara's relationship was a complete partnership from the very beginning. I loved how they embraced everything about each other; both stren...more
Sara Marten, heiress, lost her family to a vampire when she was 15 - they were on an adventure, and when she &her brother were exploring, she finds a book - a hand written diary of sorts, 1500 years old, written by Falcon, to the lifemate, Sara (how did he know her name, but nothing else?) that he despaired ever finding as he had taken Vladamir's request to go away from Carpathia (and another thing... how many Carpathians were there 2,000 years ago... Falcon killed thousands of vampires - we...more
Sara has known Falcon, through her dreams and a box she discovered as a child, for fifteen years. She carved a bust of him, decoded his journals and letters, but she never thought that her dream would one day step into her life.
One of the better Carpathian stories and one I could certainly listen to over and over again. The characters were compelling and the idea of Falcon writing to his life mate a thousand years before was born, was one that drew me in.

So far, this is my favorite of the series. It felt like this was the first time that the woman made the choice and did not have it forced upon her. I also felt like he was, by far, the nicest of the males. Nice is not really the word. Less alpha, is more accurate. Which is sort of odd since he is, by far, the most powerful and the eldest of the characters so far. I "read" this via audiobook and felt like it was very well done.

Re-read this time by audiobook. I also have the paperback.
Finally, with this and the last book, I've realized why I like this series. Here's a heroine that sees this man who would end up dying if they couldn't make a go of it and she's willing to take a chance with him. She doesn't run from him or blame him for everything bad that happens or that she perceives is happening. I'm excited now to be working through the series.

Falcon finds his life mate in Sara. They complete the Carpathian ritual and become one. For fifteen years, Sara had been on a mission to save orphaned children from the Vampires. With Falcon’s help they not only save the children, they save the Prince of the Carpathians. Rebecca Cook does a good job at telling their story.
2 1/2
Way better than the usual Carpathians. No doormat heroine, no overbearing male. Wow, I am almost awed :). Pity it's short, and way too expensive for a novella at 6$… I don't know why it's not labeled correctly on GR. Usually novellas and ss are not numbered as full books...

REALLY????? WTF ??? Ok I am giving this 2 start (BECAUSE and ONLY because the idea behind this story is amazing) the story itself... not impressive. I think the best part of the book was my thought... "what if he was lying, and he just wanted to get laid? "I am a vampire, I will love you forever, (3mins later) OK thanks gotta go!" Edward Cullen fan-girl syndrome strikes again!

I cant rate Christine Feehan highly enough in ALL her books i have read which includes the Dark Series and The Ghostwalkers. Her talent for drawing you into the story is unbelievable! Would give more than 5 stars if i could!!!!!
A very quick read as this story is novella length. I did enjoy reading it, but will admit that the first half grew a little tiresome at times, as it dealt almost exclusively with Sara and Falcon's feelings for each other. Although it was interesting to read about their past connection, the main characters' need to analyze and re-analyze their feelings for each other was overdone. Feehan's unfortunate habit of re-using phrases to describe characters and/or their feelings was also quite evident. T...more
This was one of the shorter Carpathian stories, but just as good. I can’t wait for the next book in this series to come out. The Ghost Walker series is pretty phenomenal as well.
I'm a Carpathian fan and this book was probably my favorite. I liked the way Falcon called out to all Carpathian's to aid his lifemate when he couldn't get to her in time. Good Book

I read this book as part of the anthology, 'Dark Dreamers'. At the time I read it, I did not post a review, only a rating. I remember really liking it. But it was short, of course.
Sara and Falcon takes further in to the depths of the Carpathian species. Even the truly ancient men are finding the human woman a wonderful matching lifemate.
Excellent!
Excellent!

Falcon (ancient Hunter) and Sara (Archiologist)... A short story that is to the point and interesting. I found that the plot was not quite the same as the other books? Nice to see a gentler Carpathian man, he let her make the choices. Exciting to meet an ancient older than Mikhail.
