When Darius, the leader of a small band of Carpathian musicians, first sees the new mechanic hired to work on the band's touring vehicles, he is astonished to see the red colour of her hair. It has been centuries since he last saw colours or even felt emotions. Although mechanic Tempest Trine needs the job, she quickly realises she's bitten off more than she can chew. Tempest has always felt different, apart from others. But from the moment his arms close around her, enveloping her in a sorcerer's spell, Darius seems to understand her unique gifts. But does his kiss offer the love and belonging she seeks, or a danger more potent than anything she has ever known?

The sixth book in this ongoing saga is about Gregori's (Dark Magic) lost brother Darius. As is with their line, Darius, though without the guidance of the ancients still manage to acquire skills and keeps their group together. Therefore, as the leader of their group, he is masterful and law unto himself. Along comes Tempest, who is sweet natured, has an affinity with animals and is not intimidated by Darius. On top of that, she does as she pleases, ignoring Darius whenever she feels he is overbearing. It is beautiful the way Darius cares for Tempest and the sacrifices he is willing to make for her. This is definitely a keeper!!!

Who would not love her books. We actually have strong heroines that don't make you want to rattle their teeth. The Heros are like chocolates to a chocaholic ......yummy. And the steam that rises of the pages....ummmmmm....!!
I am not reviewing the book, (I loved it gimme more!!) because I think first time "Christine Feehan" readers should read it for themselves, but if you love gripping stories, sensuous love scenes, developed characters and not sleeping at night because you always want to read one more chapter Christine is the Author for you.
Christine writes stories that makes me realise why I love romances. I bought the first book by chance (January this year) and fell instantly in love with the DARK series. I now have every book she has written to date and have even pre-ordered her next book in the series DARK LEGEND for Next year. There are six books out to date, and also short story in the series.
I only have one compliant the the stories are too short (even if they are over 350 pages long).
Thank you Christine. Keep the Dark Men coming.....

This is the 6th in the Dark series and it was pretty much the same as the others have been. If you have loved the previous Dark books then this will not disappoint.
Personally this series is not a favourite and i continue reading purely because I bought most of them after enjoying Dark Prince and Dark Desire. Since these my interest has unfortunately dwindled and this book hasn't reignited it. The storyline is good and there are plenty of characters around to add some variety but somehow this series doesn't quite do it for me. Lots of good things are there but no spark. I find myself disliking pretty much all the males of the series so far and the women aren't much better. The men are far too arrogant for my taste and the women well... (they need a slap). As usual the man (Darius) spends the whole novel dictating to the woman (Tempest) who fights it (sort of) for a while but then gives in cos he's soo gorgeous blah blah. I don't get it.
For me the books have too much description and not enough going on. The characters spend most of their time thinking about their feelings for the other (yawn). Too many slushy endearments and after 6 books I can't stand the phrase "I can do no other...(insert - ensure your happiness, safety, health etc). Also all the women seem to look exactly the same but with different hair - narrow ribcage, tiny waist, full breasts etc and I seriously want one with a bit more personality (they are the same again - little, gentle, wouldn't hurt a fly, feel bad about predator mate killing the people trying to slaughter them all. boring. Give one of them a spine will you.
I did like the sub-plot with Barack and Syndil from the last book but it was wrapped up too quickly overall. This was the best part of dark challenge for me and it ended rather suddenly.... Read more ›

I have loved the Dark Series books and enjoyed this latest addition. However as with Dark Challenge (the fifth book in the series) I felt that it lacked some of the intensity of the earlier books. I loved Darius and Tempest but at the end of the book felt somewhat disappointed - I can't explain why but can only say that it didn't live up to the precedent set by Dark Prince and Dark Gold. Perhaps its just a case of having had too high expectations! Despite this, I look forward to reading the short story in After Twilight (another Dark series book).

The sixth in the Dark series and one of the best so far, Darius who has been a leader since his family were killed and Tempest who has suffered much in the past, she has special powers of her own and although she is frightened at first by Dairus she is willing to give up her own life to save his. These books in the Dark Series are so good you do not want to put it down for a second, try if you can to get the whole series, can't wait until the next one.

This is the 6th book in a series of the Carpathian. Though you can read this book all on its own, it is so much better if you knew the story line from the beginning. Tempest is strong and very independent. Darius is possessive and loving. Together, they are dynamite. Tempest can understand animals so when she meets up with the Dark singing group, she doens't fear them and begins to understand what they are and how they surive. Darius knowing her tragic past tries to give her as much freedom as possible and still maintain a relationship. Through trials and errors, they learn what it means to be lifemates and the love become stronger as time passes.
Ms. Feehans brings back other characters from the previous books and it is great to see how they interact and watch how their great leader have fallen. It is truly the most romantic story in the Dark series. I can't wait to read more of her books.
