Reseñas de la Crítica

"For intense emotions, power-packed writing, alpha males and building sexual tension, Joyce is unrivaled.... She grabs and holds you a willing captive from the opening until the very end." ( Romantic Times)

I really enjoyed this!

As a huge fan of "The Black Dagger Brotherhood" series by JR Ward, and Gena Showalters "Lords of the Underworld" series, I like my romances to be hot. Very hot. I was not Disappointed with "Dark Victory". The story was captivating, and the characters interesting. The romance scenes were hot as well, although one of my few complaints would be that the author doesn't spend enough time describing the actual deed itself. none the less, I found it very sexy and satisfying. The narrator does an excellent job as well. I think it is very hard to find a decent narrator for these types of books. Most of them come off annoying. but She did a very good job. I would listen to her again anytime. The only other real downfall of this book is that Ms. Joyce gets a little repetitive in her vocabulary choices. I think she must have said, "Tabby cried out," and "He/she was incredulous". about eight dozen times. but all and all, this was a great listen, and I will be looking for more by this author and narrator, hopefully in the same series.

Second time around even better.

Read the book years ago. The audio was so much richer. Narrator did a fantastic job. Felt like I was in medieval Scotland.

I just love this one!

I've listened to this book twice over the years and I just downloaded it to listen again. Fun and awesome listen.

The best series I've read yet!!!!!

I absolutely love this series, this book was great, I like them all so much that I can't decide which one I like the best. The narrator is great. The story is thrilling and full of suspense. The romance is ok, if it had left a little more to the imagination or at least been a little more imaginative then that would have been great as well. I have one more to read and I'm already feeling sorry that there aren't any more.

Wonderful Series!!

What made the experience of listening to Dark Victory the most enjoyable?

The most enjoyable thing about any audiobook, aside from the actual writing, is the narrator. If the narrator can tell the story in an entertaining way, you can be pulled into the universe of the book and thoroughly enjoy it. Jennifer Van Dyck always seems to do a great job with the narration of these books!

What did you like best about this story?

The intense, unexplainable pull between Tabby and Macleod from the very beginning of this story is what I like the best. They seem to be drawn to each other for no apparent reason and neither one of them are able to fight what turns out to be fate.

Which scene was your favorite?

In this series, my favorite scenes are always when the couples finally realize that they are a part of each others destiny. Macleod is a very

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Fate will always win.

Any additional comments?

This book for me was different from the rest of the series because it focuses on the struggles of both Tabby and Macleod. A lot of the other books were about the women rescuing the Highlanders and making them see their destiny. In this book though, Tabby also had to figure out her destiny and come to terms with her own fight with evil.
