Dark Guardian by Christine Feehan

Haunted by a traumatic childhood, Jaxon Montgomery is a policewoman with a fearsome reputation. Trained by special forces, she meets her match when she is set up to be murdered by an enemy. Hunted on all sides, she can only turn to the mysterious stranger who seems more dangerous than any other she has ever known.
Lucian Daratrazanoff is the Dark Guardian of his people, a Carpathian who has spent years pretending to have turned to the dark side and become a vampire. And after centuries of bleak, soulless existence, he finds himself drawn to Jaxon...
Another great read by christine feehan. lucian is actually the older brother of gabriel, hero of dark legend(i think). i've written about him as well. our hero and heroine are both strong people, not only physically but mentally as well, especially jaxon. it's amazing how she's turned out after what she's gone through. this book has a great mix of supernatural powers as well as romance and action which is my favourite, especially the latter two. christine feehan has written many amazing books one has ever read in my personal opinion hehe. there are still many carpathian series i have yet to read of hers, some i have but have not gotten around to writing about it, maybe because i've been too lazy or because, i found them ok. but this book is one i'll read if given a second chance in the near future. hehe enjoy.

Bonds of Justice by Nalini Singh

Max Shannon is a good cop, one of the best in New York Enforcement. Born with a natural shield that protects him against Psy mental invasions, he knows he has little chance of advancement within the Psy-dominated power structure. The last case he expects to be assigned is that of a murder targeting a Psy Councilor's closest advisors. And the last woman he expects to compel him in the most sensual of ways is a Psy on the verge of a catastropic mental fracture...
Sophia Russo is a Justice Psy, cursed with the ability to retrieve memories from men and women so twisted even veteral cops keep their distance. Appointed as Max's liaison with the Psy, she finds herself fascinated by this human, her frozen heart threatening to thaw with forbidden emotion. But, her mind filled with other people's nightmares, other people's evil, she's standing on the border between sanity and a silken darkness that urges her to take justice into her own hands, to become judge, jury...and executioner....
another of nalini singh's psy-changeling series, this book really kept me engrossed. it's definitely a good one, although all her books before this were great as well. she links all the characters together so well and it's good to see different couples from time to time. this i feel is one of the darker and more passionate ones among her books, what with so much mental stress there. and this is like the easy way to describe hehe if you read, man, just imagining all of that is so much headache. i loved how the main leads here were slowly drawn to each other. that was really good; and i read the next sequel. seems like it's the wolves turn now. can't wait for that. hope to find it in the library although i guess i'll have to wait for some time. sigh oh well. enjoy this one.
