Dark legend

I liked the Rebecca cook reading better than Patrick Lawson. My library actually had both as Overdrive editions so I borrowed both to see the difference. Neither reader is great and neither did I dislike, I just liked Rebecca Cooke's version better. (Listen to the Patrick Lawson version 2022 and didn't hate him but disliked him to a point, Rebecca Cook is much better. Went back and got that version from the library again and was much better. Suggest to anyone to search for that version. Audible is the Lawson version and it is not worth it)


So decided to re-read this one as it was one of my favorites of the Carpathians. These book become incredibly repetitive. This one is different as the woman is [Carpathian (hide spoiler)] special. She is intelligent and has learned much. Gabriel is not overwhelming like many of the other Carpathian males. Skylar is introduced in this book. She is a abused child but very psychic. She sometimes seems to know people better than the Gabriel and Francesca. I think I liked this better because the woman is not a doormat and the guy realizes he cannot be completely overbearing with her. She has her life plotted out for herself, and the work she does is really important to her. He has to figure out how to be a part of her world and get her to accept the change of having him with her. I like this so much more than the 'time to change your whole world to conform to mine' attitude some of the other had. Quick read.
