      Great love that Emeline is a fighter but seriously never seen one where they never at least get rid of a master vampire. Or an ancient got so many injuries.
    • 5/5
      This is the story of the ancient Carpathian, Dragomir Koziel, one of the recently discovered ancient monastery males, and Emeline Sanchez, a human psychic currently residing within the Carpathian compound of her friend Blaise and her lifemate Maksim. I was crazy with excitement when it was announced that it was Dragomir who would find his lifemate in this book and be restored to life. Dragomir did not disappoint. He was old-world charming, fiercely protective, and completely devoted to the one he waited a lifetime to find. Emeline, however, was the classic self-doubting, angst-filled damsel in distress. Emeline’s obsessing over the same doubts ad nauseum-filled pages that might have been a journey of a couple of meetings, coming together, and falling deeply in love.

      I prefer my romances to be about the hero and heroine only, otherwise, the whole mood of the story is ruined for me. Plotlines involving sexual violence and the heroine becoming a martyr on the villain’s altar are tiresome. It’s frustrating when heroines, who are imbued with extraordinary gifts, are overpowered by the male villain. Emeline’s crippling fear, doubts, and huge secret grew and grew like cancer then hovered like some bête noir over the relationship.

      There were some sweet moments between Dragomir and Emeline, mostly him reassuring her about her lack of self-worth and esteem. Dragomir had waited centuries for his one and only, completely accepted his broken woman, and absorbed all of her issues. The heroine left me rolling my eyes and feeling sorry for the hero. I did like the tone of the sex scenes; they were intimate and conveyed what was happening between the characters. But the intimacy was muted by Emeline’s emotional and physical limitations.

      I loved seeing young Liv again and the stone dragons going into battle against the vampire horde was exciting. Nevertheless, it seems that the same past enemies have stalked the Carpathians to the States and threatened to destabilize and terrorize this budding community.

      There was interesting new information revealed as to what happens to the male’s soul, (which is placed in the care of the unborn female), if his life mate dies. It is both hopeful and hopeless because if a lifemate dies, she will be reborn again and again. However, there is no way for the Carpathian to know what century, time, place, or continent she will be reborn too. So he has to wait and suffer. But the discovery of a lost ancient (and with the gifts of the Triad from Dark Promises) may help mitigate long years of fruitless searching.

      On the whole, this book left me just feeling content. It was a solid read, only because of Dragomir, he made this book for me. He was everything I expected of an ancient Carpathian male and I wish I could give him ten stars. But with Dark Legacy, I wasn’t left feeling all warm and floaty like I did with Charlotte and Tariq in Dark Carousel and with Blaise and Maksim in Dark Crime. I wanted blissful escapism and I so wanted to wrap myself in Dragomir and Emeline’s story. But her crippling fear, bad decisions, and dreaded secret left me feeling anxious, irritated, and queasy...hence the deduction of one star.
