review 1: Absolutely fantastic story! This is all about reincarnation and immortality. Madelaine meets the owner of a hot night club, Christien Chevalier, when she has to get him to sign some papers for her boss. There is an immediate connection between the two of them although Laine doesn't know why. As she spends more time with Christien she starts to have more dreams that seem so real. Can she handle the fact that her dreams are more like memories of what happened when she first met Christien back in the 1300s? Also is her boss who they seem or are they trying to kill her? And why? Is there any way to change the outcome so that Laine and Christien can be together? Only time will tell.
review 2: Madelaine Alexander desperately needed her new job and the money it paid. ... moreThat’s the only reason she found herself standing in line outside of Christien Chevalier’s Milwaukee nightclub in shoes intended to permanently maim the wearer. Her boss insisted these contracts had to be signed tonight and Mr. Chevalier would be expecting her. Huh, not according to the huge disbelieving doorman. Christien Chevalier couldn’t belive his eyes when he first spotted Laine in his club. She was the spitting image of his lost love who had passed……. in the Fourteenth century. Christien was once a Templar knight charged with hiding the order’s greatest and most dangerous treasure. Prepared and more than eager to meet death after his task is fulfilled, Christien is denied the solace of eternal rest. His duty is to last throughout time as he is given the yoke of immortality and charged with protecting the treasure throughout eternity.Whew! This was a dark, intense book. It just about wore me completely out. I just felt so bad for Christien, he broke my heart. In the beginning he comes across as kind of cold and hard, but if he hadn't developed that shell, he would have broken centuries ago. And bless his heart, it just keeps piling on, this poor soul just can't catch a break. Madelaine hasn't had the easiest time of it either, and to top it off, she's working for the enemy. Unknowingly of course. It was a beautiful story and well worth the read, but it is not a light "happy, happy, joy, joy" book. There are some brief tender and passionate respites from the drama, enjoy those, because the drama and uncertainty continue until the very last sentence. There are also some more spirited passionate moments that I don't have to tell you to enjoy. It is all blended into a very compelling story that will work your emotions to tatters.The Knights Templar were always an intriguing subject for me because of the treachery and bloody history surrounding them. That rich tradition is well carried out in Her Dark Knight. The myths and hints of the divinely supernatural surrounding these warriors of old still hold fast and firm, lending itself quite well as literary fodder for authors and readers alike. Although I would like to see just a tad more lightness to her future works, I think Ms. Cullen has proven her veracity as a writer and has definitely earned a job well done. less
