I'm starting to think the author likes stupid females and male chauvinists

I think this was another successful plot from start to finish. I would have been a little happier if there had been a little more resolution with Alexandria's boss. Aiden and Alexandria were both a little too much for me at times, but I did love the kind of found family aspect in this one a lot. The pov changes for me felt pretty seamless and I felt like I hoped from character to character pretty well
So far my ranking is:
#1: Dark Desire
#2: Dark Gold
#3 Dark Prince
I'm very curious to see how book 4 will go, I've got a lot of anticipation for Gregori's story that has been built up over the past 3 books!

I liked this one, but it is not one of my favourite story, even though I really love Alexandria and her little brother. It is the first story were the family of humans is introduced that will serve different Carpathians as housekeepers or help.
This book is about Aidan Savage and a graphic designer named Alexandria Houton. Alex was kidnapped together with her little brother and nearly turned into a vampiress by a true vampire when Aidan sweeps down in form of a golden eagle to destroy the vampire and unwittingly convert Alex. But Alex can't cope with her new life. Will Aidan find a way to let Alex understand how beautiful life can be?
Nice enough story. It is also the first story that is solely placed in America.

Having read a couple of these by now the plot is feeling familiar; the Carpathian male uncertain if she will accept him but desperate to make her stay, the human woman; defenseless against her attraction to him yet desperate not to give up her freedom. The overly possessive nature of the Carpathian men annoys me slightly, as does the fact that all the women are virgins as the men can't stand the thought that any other man might have touched them. It's not clear whether this same state of virginity is applied to the men. Time for Feehan to develop a new plot.

So I really haven't read much of this series. I've saved them for days when I feel like, what I think of as, a classic vampire romance. That being said this was a pretty good read. The first half was phenomenal, it stuttered a bit for me at about 70% and the end didn't do much for me at all. So that's why the three stars. If it had been like the first half all the way through I would have hands down given it a 5, but overall this was definitely a good read and worth the time of any vampire romance enthusiast.

Steaminess: I consider this book mild with steaminess compared to the other books I’ve read so far in this series.
Cliffhanger: No.
Standalone or Series: It’s part of a series. Each follows a new couple.
Trope: Fated Mates.
Do I recommend this book? I would recommend this to readers that are Christine Feehan fans and love Paranormal Romance. If you also love the Fated Mates tropes, then I would recommend these books to you too. I’m liking these books, but not falling in love with them as I have with Kresley Cole’s IAD series and J.R. Ward’s BDB series. I’m not giving up, though. I’m hoping to find my favorite couple in the series. I will say this it’s not your sparkly kind of vampire story, so get that out of your head before reading this series. Christine Feehan writes her vampire/Carpathian stories with darkness in it, which is one of many reasons why I’m going to keep reading these books.

The lack of story in this book was unexpected because usually I feel like Feehan is a pretty thorough author, however in this book she lays out the bones of the story, but she never quite puts the skeleton together.

This was not that bad in the series. I continued and though I still found this a difficult book to finish I did find it more interesting. I also found that I did want to find out what would happen to the main characters in this book. However it was boring at times so I would not recommend it.
