The Only One

Three short stories with lots of passion and mystery. You will be captivated from the beginning. This book will have you at the end of your seat. 1# Best selling Author Christine Feehan leads the way. Highly recommended!

for a short story this was great!

I picked this up because I am a fan of Christine Feehan. I had not read anything by the other authors at that time. After reading this, I would definately read more by them and I am totally hooked on the dark series. I would recommend the series to anyone who is hooked on Vampire stories with some romance thrown in. The characters are larger than life and a thoroughly enjoyable read.

There have been lots of plot synopses and comments for the various stories... I'm going to step forward with some important info that a casual reader may not notice about this book:THE ONLY ONE is an anthology of three novella--each a sequel in some way, shape or form. Presumably the idea is that readers of one world will buy the book, read the other novella, and search out the other volumes to the various worlds. An interesting concept--but with one flaw. Unless you read these series, these short novella are NOT going to be as interesting.So--if you enjoy Grant's STAR series, or SQUIRES' Sacrament, or if you collect Feehan's DARK stories--you may want this anthology. If you read all three, it's a definite must-buy, just to see what these authors add to their worlds... if you haven't read anything from any of them... give the anthology a skip and pick up the first book from the world that MOST interests you.

On rare occasions you find an anthology that produces winning stories from all authors involved. The Only One is one of those rare finds. Susan Squires' Sacrilege took on the awesome task of making Magda's less than lovable character from Sacrament into a heroine that you are cheering for by the end of the story. Course if you had a hero like Pietr working for your love, *sigh* well read Sacrilege and you'll see. Susan Grant has done a prequel to her Star series, showing us where the Star King, Star Prince and upcoming Star Princess received their honor and integrity. Taj inspires Romjha to be the best that he can be while rebuilding their world that has been destroyed. A story that shows how tragedy and a difficult challenge can make us all better people. A love story that is truly inspirational.Christine Feehan continues her Dark Series with Dark Descent. Traian, one of the ancient Carpathians is coming home to meet his Prince before facing the dawn when he runs into a pack of vampires, wounded he has gone to ground. Joie, bodyguard extrordinare, is also wounded, performing an astral projection to escape her pain, floats in to Traian resting place, sees Traian and wow colors and fireworks ensue. The humor and action in this story are not to be missed. Ms. Feehan again extends her world of Carpathians, teasing us with knowledge of the growing threat from Master vampires working to destroy the Carpathian hierarchy. The wait for her next Dark story is going to be sooo long.This anthology was wonderfully well done by all three Authors. The Only One is a definite keeper and an instant classic in this reviewer's opinion.

Susan Grant's The Star Queen was fantastic! If you have read any of her Star Series, you will definitely want to read this. You'll get to learn of The Dark Years and how the Vash Nadah began. As always Ms. Grant's detail is exceptional. Both h/h are so likeable and fascinating, and yes, the hero is very sexy. If you haven't read any of her Star Series (shame), get them: The Star King; The Star Prince; and in August, The Star Princess.Christine Feehan's Dark Descent was wonderful and thrilling, as are all her other books in the Dark Series. As a regular reader, I didn't have to read the same background and descriptions. It cuts right to the chase and I though that was very refreshing.Susan Squire's Sacrilege was so entertaining. Susan's writing makes me shiver, laugh, gulp, and I can't seem to turn the pages fast enough.

VERY!!!! Traian is amazing. Dark Descent is breathtakingly arousing and quite the adrenaline pumper. You begin with action and end wanting more. Ms. Feehan has done a superb job continuing her Dark Series, this is a must have for all Carpathian fans. I'd love to give this more than 5 stars!!!
