Best one of the entire series for me, Feehan finally wrote the book I was waiting for. Ivory and Razvan's is eloquent and heart tugging in it's beauty and I hope that we see more of them in the next book "Dark Peril".It was very nice to have a "change of pace" in this book from all the never ending bedroom drama and histronics that every other "lifemate bonding" entails so far to date. I enjoyed how the book took the relationship between Ivory and Razvan, loved the cameos of all the other Carpathian couples who popped into the story line and am very hopeful that the lack of the normal "me male, you helpless dainty female machismo" is going to stay toned down in the rest of the stories to come. I have never lost my "affection" for the Carpathian series but this book has renewed my "love" for it...
