Roxanna is a vampire. She was locked inside a bottle for protection until her curse could be broken. Her protector, Orlando is in search of the chalice that can free her.

Roxanna is set free by villains intent on murdering Gareth and his men. She kills them, but she saves Gareth, intending to feed from him to regain her strength and destroy her creator, an evil vampire named Lucan Kivar. Roxanna starts to develop feelings for Gareth though and Gareth believes Roxanna is his angel. When he discovers what she really is, will he still call her angel or will she become a demon to him?

Gareth and Roxanna become allies in their fight to set Roxanna free and destroy Lucan Kivar. Their love was destined to save them all.

Dark Angel is a story rich in danger, sensuality and dark secrets. Gareth's intense passion for Roxanna is romantic and chivalrous. Roxanna is torn between her love for Gareth and her dark side. Dark Angel has an intriguing plot with memorable characters that held me riveted to each page.

I read the first book in the series, bound in darkness. I loved the first book and I discovered Dark Angel at my local Barnes and Noble. I immediatly began reading Dark Angel and about 1/2 way through the book, I felt extreamly lost and had no idea what was going on as new characters Siobahn and Tristan were introduced. Also, I kept reading about Isabell and Orlando being in Kivar's clutches. "WHAT?", I thought. Then I realized I stupidly skipped the second book in the series. With most series, you can skip certain books and still understand what is going on due to the backround information the author provides. In this series, that is not the case. I loved this book, but I wished I had read the second book first so I did not feel lost. A WORD TO THE WISE: read these books in order and please do not skip around. This series is worth it! ENJOY!

I thought this was a great series of books. I had the hardest time getting my hand on this one since I came to reading them so late. The previous novel ended with Orlando and Isabel in Kevar's hands as he heads to the location of the Chalice. This location happens to be in the mountains/highlands of Scotland. On the way Orlando takes out his cut glass bottle containing Roxanna and drops her along the way in order to keep her out of Kevar's clutches. Just so happenly Gareth, along with his tutor and cousin, come across the bottle. The bottle gets open soon after and Gareth and Roxanne work through their own problems which seem to unbeknownith to them connected to each others.

Great series with a lot of action and likable characters. Sorry to see this is the last one.

When he learned of his father's death, Gareth returns home to the Highlands seeking revenge against the killer. However, he and his companions are attacked by a marauding army. Knowing he will die without enabling his father to rest peacefully, Gareth is shocked when he is saved by a beautiful female.

Roxanna has decided Gareth will be her blood feeder until he withers and dies as she is a vampire, albeit a very hungry one who has just escaped from a bottled imprisonment. She knows she needs all her strength for her upcoming battle against her enemy, the evil vampire Lucian Kivar, who seeks the Chalice for some malevolent power grabbing use. However, to her shame she falls in love with Gareth, who bears the mark of this chalice on him that her odious foe wants. As Gareth returns her feelings of love he and Roxanna team up to challenge the mightiest vampire of them all.

The third medieval paranormal romance (see THE DEVIL'S KNIGHT and MY DEMON'S KISS) is a delightful star-cross lovers' tale starring a courageous male human and a much more powerful female vampiress. The change in Roxanna from seeing him as a prisoner to falling in love with her soulmate is handled deftly and given the time to evolve (reverse Stockholm syndrome aside). Readers will enjoy the latest thriller as good (the lead couple) battles superior evil (Lucian) with love being the secret weapon of choice.

Yes! Finally! This is one of those books you just can't put down. I don't know what book that other reviewer read, but it coulnd't have been Dark Angel. I fell in love with Gareth and Roxanna is a great heroine. Definetly a must read and keeper!

I was disappointed in this book. Vampire Princess meets knight who will break the curse for her kind; the summary was so promising, but I found the characters of Roxanne and Gareth flat and unappealing. I was bored in the first three chapters alone. I was not able to finish it.
