This is the book I will be recommending people to read if they want to get to this series. My rating is more a 2/5 than 3.
But, this book is a glimpse of what this series could have been, is not perfect but it has potential.
I like the fact that he waits for her to get convertible with him, with their life, and also there is minimal pressure on her to "save him".

Loved this book, it was interesting, and it's the first book that takes place in the US! I hope there's a book that's set in Canada soon, I mean, we have I think half of the Rocky Mountains, and forests, and such, and also big city towns, both close and far away!!

Just reread a little bit of this. The whole premise of this series is a lot of controlling men, but this is a bit too much.
SPOILERS
Forced conversion, kidnapping, brainwashing, using a younger sibling/child as a hostage, 'man of the house' stylings on the part of a 6 year old.... it just went way too far with the weak woman stylings. I had to set it aside, and I don't know if I'll be able to pick up another book of this series ever again. Some of her series have some pretty strong, kick-ass heroines, but in this one I see no way to redeem the male character. I don't remember the rest of the series, but if this were the first Feehan I'd read, this would be the last I'd read.

The third book in the Ms. Feehan’s Dark Series, this one tells of Aiden and Alexandria’s journey.
There story was significantly different than the earlier two. Alex and her young brother, Joshua, were taken by a vampire. They were certain that they would die until Aiden, in all his golden glory, showed up and slaughtered the beast.
Unfortunately, seeing Alex attempting to protect her brother, he assumed that she was a vampiress attempting to kill a child so he attacked and found himself a life mate.
Alex’s condition was awful and she looked horrible, but once Aiden realized what she was to him, hideous or not, he planned to make her his. It wasn’t until she was cleansed to vampire blood, went through hell and finally slept that he realized she was stunningly beautiful.
Their relationship was brutal. The earlier books had resistance from the women, but they soon came around. It took Aiden most of the book to get laid. Alex was not having him. She had a hard time accepting what she had become and the changes that it brought to her life. Poor Aiden had purple balls by the time he got some!
What made this book fabulous was Stefan and Marie and the family that Aiden built. I loved those two. They accepted and loved Aiden, because of what he is and what he did, and accepted Alex because she was his life mate. Even though she was not the nicest person at first. Joshua, the loved wholeheartedly. He was a great kid.
Glad I finally decided to delve into this series and I can highly recommend it.

Again, the understory is interesting, once you get past all the "white, hot heat" and "dark velvet seduction" that everything is.

The third in the Dark series by Christine Feehan, this was the story of Aidan and Alexandria. This was a great story! I loved the characters.

I enjoyed this book more than I really should. Terrible, but unputdownable at the same time.
