"New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards continues her penchant for "fantastic storytelling" (RT Book Reviews) with this next heart-pumping romantic suspense novel, the tale of a brilliant ornithologist trapped on the remote Attu Island in Alaska, fighting for her life--and that of a handsome stranger--before they're swallowed up in darkness forever. BOOM. That's the sound that changes everything for Dr. Gina Sullivan, a renowned ornithologist on a group research grant trip on the remote island of Attu, Alaska. When an everyday outing turns sinister at the onset of one of Attu's infamous storms, Gina expects thunder and lightning--but what she doesn't see coming is the small jet plane that drops out of the sky and into the water mere feet from her boat. Even more unprecedented: there's a sole survivor from the crash, and he needs Gina's help. But it turns out that rescuing the stranger and getting them both out of the oncoming storm is just the beginning. Because the more Gina learns about James "Cal" Callahan, he of brooding eyes and muscled frame, the more she fears--for herself, and for him. Cal has made a career of trading on government secrets and emerging unscathed--until a routine pickup goes horribly wrong and lands him in ice-cold water. Literally. He knows the plane crash was no accident and that there could very well be an enemy force currently combing the Alaskan island ensuring there were no survivors. Now if only the arrestingly beautiful bird-watcher with the clear-blue gaze would stop watching him, well, like a hawk. Cal convinces Gina to return to base camp and help him covertly get off the island. But when Gina makes it safely back to camp and finds her entire team murdered, all bets are off, and as darkness envelops the island, she must decide: trust a man she barely knows, or go it alone and risk running straight into the arms of a killer?"--… (mehr)

I'm not big on the romance novels but Karen has a way to write novels that not only make me laugh but also keep me on the edge of my seat. The romance in her books is great, not too much but enough to feel the love. ( )

I generally really enjoy Karen Robards. This book happened over two very long days and nights. But since romantic suspense books usually are a lot of intense action over a short period of time I will give it a pass on that. I did feel like there was a lot of interaction between the two leads so their romance doesn't really seem too brief to be believable. At the end they agree to date and get to know each other so it is technically a Happy for Now that you are pretty sure is going to turn into a Happy Ever After. But I do wonder how they are going to resolve the fact that he is a thrill seeker who works in a dangerous field and she is a stay at home risk adverse woman. There is a lot of fairly believable action which is very well described. The setting was interesting and I want to look up the place now. ( )

Darkness is the story of Gina Sullivan who is an ornithologist studying on a remote island in the Bering Sea. She is tracing the path of an eagle when she spots a plane that is about to make a crash landing near her boat. Gina saves one survivor, Cal, who seems more than a little dangerous as well as attractive. Gina discovers that Cal's plane was shot out of the sky and that those involved are now intent upon killing them both.
I was more than a little disappointed in this book. In the first three quarters of the story, we learn that Gina's family was killed in a plane crash in which she survived, Cal is carrying important information that might change the balance of power between the US and Russia, and most of Gina's team has been killed. The last quarter of the book seems rushed in that we get the solution to all of these problems as well as a relationship between Gina and Cal. The story just felt like so much was missing. It was a decent story with a good premise, but that's about all it had going for it, and it could have been so much more. ( )

Darkness is a sexy, action-packed book that grips you from the very beginning and doesn't let you go. My only complaint is that the ending was a bit rushed (although that could just be me not wanting it to end).
Gina and Cal are both strong characters. Gina is an ornothologist who gets caught up in a storm while following an eagle that's recently been released. On her way back to camp she witnesses a plane crash where Cal is the sole survivor of a mission gone terribly wrong. Gina saves him but there is still a lot of mistrust between them (for obvious reasons). Despite this their chemistry is undeniable and I loved witnessing the growing attraction between them as they fight to make it off the island alive. They prove to be just what the other needs, in more ways than one.
If you're a fan of romantic suspense I suggest giving this book a chance. You won't regret it.

I read this book in one sitting. Loved it! Yes, as some other reviewers have said there was a little too much description, especially in the beginning, but a lot of it was necessary. I could almost feel myself being lost in that frozen landscape, fighting for survival against the elements.

The plot raced along, taking me with it.

A great read. ( )
