Publisher's summary

Rafael De La Cruz has spent centuries hunting vampires with his brothers. With each passing year, his capacity to feel emotions has grown weaker and weaker, until finally there's barely a memory of one left - only sheer willpower keeps him from turning into the very abomination he hunts. But it'll take more than will to keep him away from the woman who is meant to be his and his alone.

For five years, rancher Colby Jansen has been the sole protector of her younger half-siblings, and with fierce determination and work she has kept her family together and the ranch operational. Now, the De La Cruz brothers are threatening that stability. They claim that her siblings belong with their father's family, not with her. Colby vows to fight them - especially the cold and arrogant Rafael De La Cruz. But Rafael is after more than her family; he wants Colby, and will not let anything stand between them. After ages of loneliness, the raw desire to possess her overwhelms his very soul, driving him to claim her as his lifemate.

Excellent!

Christine Feehan does it again! This book is exciting and you won't be able to stop listening. I recommend it to those who like a thrilling love story edged with danger. After listening to this book - you will have to find all the others available by Christine Feehan. She is the best!! You will not view vampire romance the same ever again. =)

Dark Secret shouldn't be a secret!

I really liked this story. The characters were interesting, well developed and relatable. I had problems with a couple of aspects of the story, but overall I liked it.

Rafael De La Cruz is a Carpathian hunter and has spent several lifetimes hunting vampires with his brothers in Brazil. Every year he grows closer to becoming a monster like the ones that he hunts. Rafael has to find his lifemate but until then he has to depend on his willpower and the support of his brothers. When he finds his lifemate, he isn't prepared for everything she makes him feel which makes him even more dangerous.

Colby Jansen has been running her family's ranch for 5 years and raising her younger siblings. She is determined to keep her family together and the ranch running regardless of what anyone else thinks. When the De La Cruz brothers show up trying to take her brother and sister away to be with their father's family, Colby is determined to fight them and get them to go home. Unfortunately, Rafael has discovered that Colby is his lifemate and won't leave without her, but first, he has to claim her.

Rafael was a major chauvinist and made me want to smack him sooooo many times! He couldn't seem to see things from Colby's point of view until it was too late. Colby forgave him for his actions a lot easier than I think that I could. I did love their happy ever after. I recommend reading or listening to this book. I own a paperback copy of this book and I listened to it through Audible Escape.

Good story but bot find of narrator

This was a good story. I struggled with the narrator a little bit as I feel as though he sounded more elderly and didn't offer as much to the character of Raphael. I have read this book a number of times and enjoyed listening to it. It's a challenge to find a narrator that doesn't make the female character sound wimpy.

Loved it!

Raphael is a strong domineering male character without being a mindless brute. I rarely give 5 stars, reserving 5 for books I truly enjoyed beginning to end, without any "but"s. I'm glad this is now in my library, I can see myself returning later to listen again. It's that good.

Hot Undead Action XXX

Fans of Paranormal Romance and excess in general will find plenty to like about this wild fantasy. Spunky heroine softens the heart of an otherwise rock hard guy who does his best to convince her to join the undead and become his lifemate. Needless to say - he has some very persuasive arguments. I found the romance of unquestioning devotion and fierce protectiveness absolutely irresistable.
