WAS SHE MORE THAN HIS MATE?

Julian Savage was golden. Powerful. But tormented. For the brooding hunter walked alone, always alone, far from his Carpathian kind, alien to even his twin. Like his name, his existence was savage. Until he met the woman he was sworn to protect...

When Julian heard Desari sing, rainbows swamped his starving senses. Emotions bombarded his hardened heart. And a dark hunger to possess her flooded his loins, blinding him to the danger stalking him. And even as Desari enflamed him, she dared to defy him with mysterious, unparalleled feminine powers. Was Desari more than his perfect mate? Julian had met his match in this woman, but would she drive him to madness... or save his soul?

Write Up Of Books Dark Challenge (Dark #5)

3.5 stars

Centuries of hunting the undead had left Julian Savage ready to face the dawn, he only had one more task to perform for his prince. The safety of a singer, Desari, was in question after her name was found on a list. Arriving at the concert hall, Julian was amazed to find that even the security at the front door seemed to feel his presence. After seeing and hearing Desari, the color and light and emotions that flooded him left him unaware of the assassins in the hall. He was there to protect her

I have been trying to get caught up on Christine Feehan's backlist for a while now... but she is so prolific that I don't think I will ever catch up. (And that's a good thing seeing as I like her writing.) I happened to be notified about the re-release of Dark Challenge, and it coincided with where I was in the Carpathians series, so I jumped at the chance for a review copy. I have been curious about Julian for a while, and I was glad to dive into his story.Julian is a loner, he has been on his

Julian Savage and DesariJulian is a another Carpathian on the verge of turning into an evil vampire. He is the twin brother of Aidan that we met in Dark Gold. Julian has pretty much has given up hope of meeting his life mate and soul saviour. And then one day he hears Desari sing and he can see the world with colours again. He heard the woman's voice. Haunting, mystical notes that hung in the air like silver and gold shimmering with fire. He actually saw the notes, saw the silver and gold

Finally, a heroine in this series that doesn't make me want to slap her on her mouth with a glass frog, repeatedly. Instead of throwing childish tantrums to prove her "adult" status, Desari talks and explains like a logical human being. And miracle of miracles, the hero actually listens and agrees, instead of beating his chest hair in a manly way and saying "I know better, obey me silly female". Just this phenomenon would be enough for me to give 4 stars to this book. But.. the sex scenes!

I honestly should have waited longer to dive into this series again. I kinda power read the first 4 books but now that I'm on the 5th I am realizing they are all kinda the same. Male that spends centuries without color or emotions, a predator by nature fighting the urge to greet the dawn or become the undead. He finally finds his lifemate in the most unexpected place. She refuses to succumb to being obedient even if it involves her safety, and insists that she is an independent woman. Of course

This was my favorite book in the series so far. I really loved Julian. I felt so sorry for him at his forced separation from his twin brother because of the vampire threats. Julian had such a great sense of humor and he didn't have the overbearing possessiveness that the other males in the previous books had. Desari was great too. She was really strong and powerful and was afraid to show it and put Julian in his place when he deserved it. They were such a great couple. I also loved Darius. The
