Product Description:
They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light . . .
Alexandria Houton will sacrifice anything--even her life --to protect her orphaned little brother. But when both encounter an unspeakable evil in the swirling San Francisco mists, Alex can only cry to heaven for their deliverance . . . And out of the darkness swoops Aidan Savage, a golden being more powerful, more mysterious, than any other creature of the night. The ageless Carpathian male snatches them from a hideous fate. But is Aidan Alex's salvation . . . or her sin? If she surrenders to Aidan's savage, unearthly seduction, and gives him the color, the light, the family he craves, will Alex truly save her brother? Or sacrifice more than her life?

If you can accept the premise of the series, than this book is more realistic than most others in the series. It is one of my favorite stories, Dark Destiny being another. The characters are well developed, the storyline good, and having the human caretakers is a nice twist. Aiden's conversion of Alex occurred more by accident than intent, which is a nice change from her other books (frankly, the he-man beating on his chest approach was getting a bit repetitive). Alex's reaction to finding out that she was converted was very believable. This story is much better written than the very first book in the series (Dark Prince). A great read, I would not hesitate to recommend it to very first time readers of this series.

Dark Gold (The Carpathians (Dark) Series, Book 3) This book is one that you don't want to put down. It is an excellent continuation of the Dark Series from Ms. Feehan. I would recomend this series to anyone whom was caught up in the "Lestat" series.

I liked the story of Aidan and Alexandria a lot. Yes, the struggle of dominance vs. "I am my own boss and have been doing it all my life" is very similar to the other books, but that's, I guess, Christine Feehan's style. I liked how the Heroine tried to hold on to her normal life a bit more than the others, specifically since she is also in her own environment (while the women in the other books left their home). So I totally understand that she wants to go out and bring her brother to school, just like always. Some examples were a bit childish - but also understandable - since she has never been in a relationship before.
Aidan was funny and more willing and yet his brooding Carpathian self - I am however afraid of reading the follow up book...Gregori seems like a very dark character who needs a very understanding woman.

Let's face it, these books are certainly not intended for what you'd call the "modern woman". These Carpathian men may be hot and have old-fashioned romantic tendencies but they sure as heck don't truly respect women. They say they do but their actions speak otherwise. In all the other stories we had these seemingly strong women who have a tendency to succumb to the all-powerful Carpathian males in a matter of heartbeats. "I'm strong and have a mind of my own, you can't boss me around! Oh hey, when you touch me it feels great... Ok, you can boss me around." The men definitely milk that obedience for all it's worth, throwing their weight around like wrestlers gone crazy. On my more submissive days it can be a bit appealing strictly from a fantasy view. I must admit though, this book really wasn't as bad as the others. Aidan seems a bit more laid back and is able to laugh at himself. He ends up turning his lifemate by accident as opposed to the men in all the other novels. He's trying to save the boy so unlike the other books it doesn't seem like rape of the will. He tries to protect the boy, discovers she isn't an evil child killer but his lifemate, and goes about saving her life by changing her. At least he didn't seem to do it for purely selfish reasons, as the others do (Gregori... Don't even get me started on him). "I don't want to turn vampire or walk into the light so I'll just take YOUR life away! How's that sound? Don't like it? Too bad. You'll grow to love me in time..."
The heroine of the story actually holds out for half the book before giving in to her Carpathian male's charms. That was refreshing for a change. She actually made an effort to fight against the new life she was afraid of. It was refreshing to see at least one of these women fight instead of rolling over and simply accepting it.
All in all, I enjoyed the book. I also enjoyed Julians' tale "Dark Challenge". Was nice seeing him paired with a powerful woman.
