I like this series as a whole. I wasn't sure about the interaction between the H & H in the first part of the book. The early part of the book seemed a bit disconnected from the series but I was happy that was cleared up later in the story. I really enjoyed this one and the only thing I thought could have been improved was the heroine seemed a little cold throughout the book. I never got the impression that she actually seemed as in love with him as he was with her. That could just be my impression. That said, still liked the book and am eagerly awaiting the next one "Into the Flame" Firebird and Doug Black's story.

The third and best book of the series. Adrik Wilder, 'Warlord', current times, Nepal, Washington Mountains, and Karen Sonnet. Karen is a construction site manager for her father, who builds adventurer hotels out in the middle of nowhere. Warlord is in charge of a band of about 200+ mercenaries and thieves there on the border of Nepal and Tibet. He had run away from his family when he was 17 after having killed a man, and he had been living on the edge ever since. He had been sneaking into Karens tent almost nightly for nearly two months, but she had no idea who he was until one day when the mountain she blasting started down on her and he saved her and it was then that he decided that she was his, forever and forced her to his tent refusing to let her leave. When the Varinskis attacked his camp he sent her out the back entrance and told her to stay alive because he would come for her. She spent a year traveling, discovering herself, and looking over her shoulder for Warlord. She ended up in Arizona, working at a spa when Rick Wilder came for a visit. She thought when he walked in the door that it was Warlord, but he looked just enough different, and his eyes were green, not black, and he totally wasnt alpha aggressive, so, maybe it wasnt him. After a week she really believed he might not be Warlord, and even let him walk her back to her bungalow, but one kiss, and she knew exactly who he was. He was hoping to gain her trust but the Varinskis attacked, and they were on the run for their lives. This was a really GREAT book.

My goodness...I REALLY love this series. I can't put my finger on the exact reason, other than it kept me from wanting to do anything else but read it through. I had to force myself to go to bed halfway into it, had vivid dreams through the night, and awoke to pick it right back up again. I am off to grab #4 now; my family wants their mother back...but they can wait, LOL.
Yes, Warlord is the "bad boy;" Karen is the stubborn heroine that will not cave; and everything falls into place by the end. If you have not read the others, no worries, this could be a stand alone book and still be captivating. 4 1/2 stars from me.

Into the Shadow is by far my favorite so far of the Darkness Chosen Series. Once again, another bad boy gets my attention. Adrik was not only a bad boy, but a hot one at that! Can't wait to read Into the Flame, which I have been unpatiently waiting to pop up on my wishlist!

The steamiest of this series, the story of Adrik and Karen is Steaming Hot almost from page one. Adrik has gone missing from the Wilder family for 17 years. He's taken the name Warlord and lives as a warlord. He is a secret lover of Karen, then ultimately her captor and master until he finally frees her. They come face to face again two years later and find themselves on the run from the Varinski's.
It was a super sexy, heart palpitating book with a lot of action and forward momentum.
Having read the entire series, I would almost recommend stopping here. The next book, Into the Flame, is such a disappointment, especially after this story, it almost ruins the series for me.

I really liked this series highly recommend them
Another great book by Christina Dodd. This flows right along with the other 2 books in the series and makes for a great read.
Very sexy!
Fast, easy fluff. Good read though. Hate to see it end with the next one.
Teriffic action! Best of the series so far!!! Great last paragraph in book w/seg into next in series!
This was my favorite in the series. Great scenes of passion, but also the most developed and interesting characters in the Darkness Chosen series.
It starts off all macho but of course the guy becomes love struck. This is the first of four in a set. Get all four to read on right after the other. Three brothers (shift changers) and a sister who isnt. Great set. im glad i got all four at once. Jany

I loved this series. I also liked how each book pulls more information together as the families struggle and relate to eachother.
