Summary: Another enjoyable book in the series...
Comment: Dark Gold is a good book, and stands fairly well on its own (it is the third in a series), but does not quite reach up to the standards of the earlier books. Aidan is a carbon copy of Mikhail and Jacques in the previous books. I suppose all "Carpathian" males exhibit the same qualities and that is what makes them who they are (protective, arrogant, self assured, devoted and strong willed) but reading the same story for the third time can be a bit awkward. They are all good stories, but how many times can one read about a dominant male and his independent life-mate/wife?
I found Alexandria to be the most believable of the female leads. She resists the changes happening to her, not knowing how to handle everything. Her first encounter with a vampire is a traumatic one and she doesn't understand (or want to understand), the differences between a vampire and a Carpathian. Aidan tries his best to protect her, though I found that he did very little to explain her new powers (telepathic communication, shape shifting, etc...). Aidan lets her have her space to try and find her new self, (though he is never too far behind) and I found that to be a refreshing change.
One of my biggest disappointments in the story is the lack of interaction with the previous characters. We see Gregory (and have throughout the books) and I have to assume that the next story will be his. But we do not see anyone else, not even Aidan's brother. Since the Carpathians are to some extent telepathically connected, I would have thought Mikhail would have at least shown himself to welcome the newest female to the clan. I would have also liked to have heard some news about Jacques and Shea (since at least 18 years have past since the last book). Well maybe I'm getting too nit-picky. I did enjoy the book, and suggest reading it, though I suggest picking up Dark Prince and Dark Desire first.

Summary: The Carpathians Come To America!
Comment: Aidan Savage is a Hunter. Little did he know that the woman he thought to be a vampiress was actually his lifemate - thank goodness he didn't destroy her before it was too late! Who cared that she looked like a hag and hated him on sight (talk about having to gain someone's trust), Alexandria Houton was the woman for him! Once he was able to heal her that is.
This book was a little different from the previous books and although Mikhail is mentioned, only Gregori makes an appearance. It takes place in San Francisco and has a more modern feel to it. Not to mention more family: Aidan has adopted a "human" family (Maria and Stefan), not to mention his brother Julian Savage (who has his own story in Dark Challenge) and Alexandria little brother Joshua.
Although this story was very good I found it missing that "extra, special something" that Dark Prince and Dark Desire had. Maybe it was his appearance (Aidan and Julian are the "golden twins" where everyone else is dark) or maybe it was the lack of Carpathians involved, I'm not sure. The book was very good but in order to be a 5 star book, it has to be extra special!
