Easy hot read for a lonely night. Loved it but not for the plot. It's main idea of mating even if the woman wants nothing to do with it is a bit of a down but it's a romance book of a semi-classic kind. ( )

This book was extremely erotic but Raven was a bit annoying as she was a little too slow to catch on that Mikhail was non-human. However, extremely enjoyable. ( )

Mikhail Dubrinsky & Raven Whitney

I claim you as my life mate. I belong to you. I offer my life for you. I give to you my protection, my allegiance, my heart, my soul, and my body. I take into my keeping the same that is yours. Your life, happiness, and welfare will be cherished and placed above my own for all time. You are my life mate, bound to me for all eternity and always in my care.

Carpathians, a separate species from humans, are vampire hunters. However, if a Carpathian male "looses his soul", he can become a vampire. Carpathian males loose their ability to feel emotions (and to see colours) as they age. The darkness in their souls overtakes them. If they do not walk into the sun, but give in to the desire to feel the thrill of killing the human from whom they are feeding, they loose their souls.

They can only regain these abilities, and preserve their souls, by finding their "life mates" who are the other halves of their souls, the light to their darkness. Once they find a life mate, they are no longer in danger of loosing their soul. They can bind the life mate to them by speaking ritual words (see above).

Originally, they could only take Carpathians as mates, but because of interbreeding, they can also take psychic human females, jaguar-women, werewolf women, and mage females. The transformation from these types into Carpathian is painful.

Carpathians are "of the earth" and can be healed by rich soil, especially that of the Carpathian Mountains, their homeland. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0843955287, Mass Market Paperback)

Mikhail Dubrinsky is the prince of his people, the Carpathians. But they are dying out, there are few women, and the men are either falling prey to vampires, or are choosing the soulless life. Losing all hope, Mikhail is no longer sure he can bear the bleak future laid before him. The only thing that can add light to his life, can relieve the terrible and haunting loneliness, is to find a life mate. But he has given up believing one exists. Raven Whitney has a rare gift. She not only can read minds, but she can communicate telepathically. But her talent is not always a gift. Her job is to track the twisted mental paths of serial killers, and those evil thoughts drain her both mentally and physically. Now, she is hoping to heal and seek a quiet escape in the Carpathian Mountains, but when she mentally hears the anguished cry at dawn, she can not ignore it, unaware that her life is about to change forever. Read by Juanita Parker. 11 CD's 12.5 Hrs.
