bookwife's review against another edition
1.0
Sometimes I really do not know why I keep reading this series. This book was one of the worse ones I think. I honestly like the whole life mate thing. Where the male sees color and feels as soon as he sees his life mate. I love that. I freaking hate that they feel the need to control everything about the female. i feel like the books are getting worse an worse at this as the series goes on.
Darius was terrible. This is what I remember of him. He took Tempest down under a volcano and she kept telling him how terrified and how uncomfortable she was being underground and he told her she was fine and put her to sleep. And then woke her up with sex. And when she realized what had happened she was mad for all of half a second. Which also made me hate her.
So there you have it.. I hated both the main characters. Tempest was weak and she had zero common sense and she was just plain annoying. She would get pissed and then get over it two seconds later without anything being resolved. And Darius was the worst. He treated his life mate like he would his child and thats creepy. He didn't want her to have a mind of her own. He basically wanted her to keep her mouth shut and her legs open. Oh and stay right by his side. Freaking annoying.
okkkaaaay. Now that I have ranted about how much I disliked this book.... I will read the next one. I love the world too much to completely drop the series all together. But I am getting to a point where that may not be enough anymore.

This is my absolute favorite book of the series. I love how she joins this group as a mechanic and when he realizes she's his mate he can see in color. I love all of her books but for some reason the alpha male in this book really hit it for me. Amazing series!!

Dark Fire by Christine Feehan – Tempest and Darius work well together, but some secrets of the traveling troupe are getting ready to come to dark lol. Happy Reading!

Darius is too overbearing for my liking. I understand his interminable strength of will, but he’s spent time in the modern world and is still far too Neanderthal like for me.
Tempest if fiery and independent despite her years at the hands of the dregs of society. She’s confident in what she can and can’t do and speaks her mind delightfully.

starting to feel like a sci fi version of zane grey, basically the same shit just different names and places with just enough difference thrown in to make it look like a different story. Characters all seem to be the same personalities just different names ... keep feeling like already heard this one

I still enjoy this story very much, whenever I read it. Rusty is a funny character that has a penchant to get lost and in trouble. I am glad that she found a very strong, powerful and caring Carpathian in Darius, even though he doesn't know what to do and how to set her in her place. Rusti is fierce, loves to tinker with machines and can talk to animals. Darius on the other hand is dark, a predator and thinks woman have to listen to everything he tells them. Well, he's about to find out that life just isn't as he wishes it!
