About this listen
A warrior woman, a lonely artist, and a love story that's out of this world....
Mara, a painter, lives in a quirky artist community in downtown Buffalo, and though she loves her roommates like family, she has always felt alone. But, each night, a sexy, dark-haired woman haunts her dreams, dreams that almost help her forget the betrayal and pain she's suffered in her life. She paints to block out the bad memories, and in every painting, the woman from her dreams - as if by magic - appears.
One fateful night, Mara rescues a drowning person from the Buffalo River: a beautiful woman with a serious wound who claims to be a knight from another world. The woman's name is Charaxus, and - despite her outlandish story - she inspires longings in Mara that she has never felt before. As her attraction to Charaxus grows, Mara discovers that the mysterious, brooding knight is telling the truth - and that she is the woman Mara has been dreaming about for a lifetime. But someone dangerous and dark is hunting Charaxus, and is it Mara's fate to lose the woman of her dreams forever?
A Dark and Stormy Knight is a sexy, romantic novel about overcoming past heartaches and learning to believe in happy endings. This book is set in the same world as A Knight to Remember, Forever and a Knight, and Date Knight, but it is a stand-alone book. It is part of Bridget Essex's Knight Legends Series: women knights, real-world high-jinks, and love stories that transcend space and time.

Story
Holly tells herself that the reason she hasn't asked her girlfriend to move in (after four years of dating) is that she's too busy - but it isn't true. A very book-obsessed librarian, Holly has buried herself in so many romantic and magical stories, that at night, she dreams of a woman who will sweep her off her feet - something her indifferent girlfriend has never done. But one night, during an unusually vicious storm, magic and romance appear in Holly's backyard in the form of a mysterious, gorgeous woman...wielding a sword.

Love this with all my heart!!!
I really live Holly and Virago, but I think I love Mara and Charaxus more. I didn't read the summary of this book, so I had no idea that my wish of knowing what happened to Charaxus after the end of Date Knight was going to be fulfilled and certainly not in this way. I'm in love with this book.

My heart!!
This made me hurt in such a good way. Charaxus and Mara are the epitome of soul mates and they fit so well together. I loved seeing the softer side of Charaxus, and how she became the "cold" person she's known to be by others. I actually like these two a little more than Holly and Verago, and I'd love to hear more of a conclusion between these two and where their relationship takes them. Btw Maria Marquis is amazing!!!

The most heart felt story I have ever heard!
The Story, the way it is written, and the emotion in the narrative touched me as few stories have in my many years of reading. It made me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time and I am so thankful to have found this story. It will most definitely become one of my favorites.

Wow
At first I was just enjoying the book. But after I hit 50 minuets I did NOT stop listening! How I love love love LOVE the characters! It brings in so much light and love and ughhh! A must listen too book! You will not regret it. The only flaw I can see with most of the stories that Bridget writes is not going into much detail about the magic being used. I would have loved a much better explanation about the hospital thing. (Not to give away too much info) but that’s a small thing. You can just make your own opinions but I would like to hear it from the writer. But this doesn’t stop me from loving this and all of her books. This one happens to be my absolute favorite of them all!

glad I gave this one a chance
I was hesitant to start this one, since I had listened to all the others, and was feeling a little Knighted-out. But I decided I would quit if I got bored. That didn't happen, as I fell in love with the narrator. The story was good, but the narrator definitely took it up another notch for me. Very pleasantly surprised.

Wish I could give this book 100 stars!
I have never felt so emotionally connected to a book like I was with with this one! I haven't cried as much as I have with this book! Definitely my favorite of this series so far! Charaxus and Mara will have a special place in my mind and heart forever. This was such an amazing story!! So so sad that it is over but so happy that it was written!
