My Take on the Book:
In this second Carpathian (Dark) series we find Jacques Dubrinsky, a brooding and once powerful Carpathian, was betrayed to vampire hunters who tortured and imprisoned him in chains where he has remained for seven years. His memory gone,
Jacques Dubrinsky is fighting to survive the insufferable anguish as his traumatized mind manages to create a connection with a stranger. This stranger is a woman who might be able to save him or who may be the cause of his agony. His voice haunt her dreams and finally she feels compelled to find his place of imprisonment and try to save his life. Her compassion, courage and ability to love will return Jacques to sanity and restore his memory if anything or anyone is able. Shea has a rare blood disease and needs constant blood transfusions to remain alive.
American surgeon Shea O'Halloran feels compelled to travel thousands of miles to the Carpathian mountains where she uncovers a being like none she has ever known. In her frantic pursuit to save Jacques, Shea must face the truth about what he is and about herself. They must deal with Jacques' past and also Shea's - which is much more unusual than she knows. Also, the evil men, and vampire, who originally tried to take Jacques' life are hot on their trail, as are his Carpathian family. They believed he was dead and now want to help both Jacque and Shea.
Christine Feehan has given us another can't put it down page turner with Dark Desire. I was pulled deep into the emotional impact of Jacques' devastating psychosis from page one. The relationship between Jacques and Shea reminded me of the Beauty and the Beast story; he desperately needs her but at the same time is dangerous to her while She is drawn to him in spite of the fact that she knows it may lead to her destruction.
Not for the faint of heart, is an extremely exciting and imaginative novel. The romance is sensual and scorching hot, but violent at times - remember, Jacques is not quite sane at first - also the descriptions of his torture are graphic.
Highly recommended. I can't wait to read the next Carpathian novel.
