When her stepfather died five years ago, Colby assumed total responsibility of the family ranch—including her younger step-siblings. Through her determination, hard work, and psychic abilities, she’s been able to keep the ranch going. That is, until her stepfather’s family shows up from Brazil to take custody of Colby’s brother and sister, with the help of the powerful and dangerous De La Cruz brothers. Despite her protests, Colby can’t deny her deep, physical attraction to Rafael. For his part, Rafael is determined to make Colby his lifemate before more sinister forces destroy them both.

"I read this terrible review on Amazon about this book. Funny enough, it convinced me to buy it. I loved the sexuality and the animal dominance of Rafael. Without that, and that's what bothered the reviewer on Amazon, he would have been human. I read this book because I wanted fantasy, not humanity, and Feehan delivered that in Spades. I'm giving it five stars for the sexual heat alone." — Marie (5 out of 5 stars)

" One of the better Carpathian tales. Rafael is more dominant and less accepting of human frailties. A volatile mix with Colby, who is stubborn and independent. Enjoyed the story. "
" I just couldn't get into this one. I did think it got better towards the end though. "
" This is one of the best , of the many wonderful carpathian novels. "
" the first one, dark prince was good but i liked this one waaaay better. gotta get used to there only being passion and obsession in the first 200 pages but then it's action with a happy story. "
" funny,passionate and more on love. =) "
" Awesome ending and I loved Virkirnoff's return at the end. It was good to see a better fight between Carpathian Hunter and Vampire, instead of a 'no-contest' kind of fight. "
" read 04.07.07 "
" Another heroine TSTL! "
" I've read book #1 and 10 & this is book #15, and this is the best so far. Plenty of action, great characters, and the story doesn't bog down it keeps moving along. "
" This was my first paranormal romance and i now have all of Christine Feehan's books, a great read. "
" my favorite of the series "
" Once the honorable hero acknowledges that he raped his lifemate, I just couldn't think of him as "honorable". "
" Again, the saving grace of this novel was the strong, responsible female figure. "
" Rafael and Colby - one of my favorite couples in the whole series. Very good!! "
" Blech! HATED! It was the first book in this series I ever, so I have no idea why I continued on to find the more amazing books. I think it may be the De La Cruz brothers. I do NOT like them. Pigs, in my opinion. "
" Ugh. Rafael's one of the most annoying Carpathian men. *stabbity* "
" Not one of my favorites of the series. Kinda meh. "
" This is the third in the Carpathian Series I have read. I really enjoyed the story. "
" I would not recommend this book. I found the character of Rafael annoying with his I am male you will do as I say attitude. The farm setting of this book was not very appealing to me as well and the whole story line was, in my opinion, stale. "
" Must say was disappointed in this one, also found it quite frustrating reading... "
" I just do not like Colby and I have no idea why not "
" Carpathians #15 "
" Although I liked this book I found it long winded and tiresome in places. I didn't like Rafael much and found the relationship uncomfortable at times. I really loved the other books in this series I am glad I didn't start with this one as I dont think I would have read the others. "
" This book was simply mesmerizing,just like the characters. I loved Rafael-Colby moments. The plot was really fascinating. I've been looking for something like this for quite a long time. This book is quite easy to read too. "
" Wasn't one of my favorite Feehan Carpathian novels...but still good. I enjoy the continued setup to the next books. "
" I think if I was Colby, I would have smacked that boy upside his head a few times before the book was over. She was far more patient with his attitude than I would ever have been. "
" The first FULL introduction of the De La Cruz brothers, can I just say fully dark ages. Love how Raphael gets his from Colby. She is one of the best heroines. "
" It was good and different from the others. "
