Dark Dream. Loved this story the most! I liked Falcon, enjoyed the background on the Carpathians, and LOVED that this wasn’t another story about love being a tug-of-war/fight-to-the-death. Finally, there is also a woman who can embrace what she is, who she loves, and what she will become. ( )

Good fantasy, 2007 ( )

A pretty good collevtion of Romances. My favorite though is Christine Feehan's Dark Dream.
