Product Description
A New York Times Bestselling Author The stranger silently summoned her from across the continents, across the seas. He whispered of eternal torment, of endless hunger . . . of dark, dangerous desires. And somehow American surgeon Shea O'Halloran could feel his anguish. Drawn to the far Carpathian mountains, Shea found a ravaged, raging man, and recognized the beloved stranger who'd already become part of her. But was she to be his healer . . . or his prey?

 One of Feehan's Best January 5, 2009
This book is a classic for a number of reasons. It uses unusual characters, settings, and plot to create a beautiful love story.
The Plot:
Jacques is a member of the Carpathian race, a unique group of people with special mystical abilities. To humans he is seen as evil. He has been captured by human vampire slayers, tortured, and buried alive.
Years pass before Shea, a human doctor with psychic abilities, discovers and rescues Jacques. Through his madness and rage he recognizes her as his lifemate. And she, against all odds, finds herself equally drawn to him.
What Makes It So Good:
Shea is a likable character, and her development throughout the story is both interesting and realistic. Jacques is surprisingly romantic for a mad man. He tries to take care of Shea despite his pain. The story of their love overall is intricate and fascinating.
Anyone who has read Dark Prince, the first book in this series, will really appreciate the return of past characters. They continue to grow and develop.
I highly recommend this series to fans of paranormal romance. In many ways it is the standard by which others are compared.
Dark Desire (The Carpathians (Dark) Series, Book 2 September 2, 2008
Dark Desire (The Carpathians (Dark) Series, Book 2) This book is excellent. It kept me on the edge of my chair the entire time I was reding it. I love Christine Feehan, she can really stimulate the mind.
Dark Desire August 29, 2008
Great Book I enjoyed the way it was written and the way she sticks with the storyline and not bouncing around.
 2nd Book in a great series of stories August 23, 2008
"Dark Desire" is the 2nd book is a series of stories about the Carpathians. Not evil, but immortal and blooding drinkers, these compelling beings are under attack by true vampires and humans that hunt vampires. Jacques, a Carpathian who is younger brother to the Prince, has been taken captive and torchured by evil men and left in a basement in an abandoned building to suffer for years. He is able to overcome his pain and communicate with a woman who will become his lifemate. This story is interesting and unusually different than the others in the series. I have tried to read the series in order since characters are innerwoven throughout others' storylines. Dark Desire explains a lot about the history of Carpathians, and the physical and metaphysical differences between humans and immortals. Author, Christine Feehan, has a great immagination and writes well.
Hard time liking Jacques... August 14, 2008
Even after everything he'd been through, I had a hard time liking Jacques and I wanted to like him. He'd been so sweet and giving in Dark Prince, you just knew his story was going to be an easy one.
Boy was I wrong, but pleasantly surprised. Christine (funny, that I feel like I know her!) really made me WORK at getting to a place where I could even feel sorry for Jacques. That kept me turning pages.
You'll be rooting for him by the end!
