Customer Reviews

great rainy day book

If you are looking for deadly vamps that are often more monster than man, these tales might seem tame to you. But if you are looking for troubled souls and woman that will risk all to be with the man they love, then you will find all these tales very heartwarming. These are not dark and deadly vamps, but romantic ones. All the tales were very well written and special. I especially loved Lynsay Sands' tale. I have been a long time reader of her works so I come to expect things about her writing that are very familiar. Lynsay's fans, who expect her typical brand of hysterical historicals will be in for a treat as she shows yet another new side along with her recent contemporary The Loving Daylights and followed by the Smash Hit Single White Vampire. She offers a much more tender and intensely romance Lynsay. Though I love her magic humour, this tale surprised me and touched my heart. In her "Bitten" we have a tale of a Emily Collins lass who is rescued from drowning when her ship sinks in a storm. Keeran MacKay, a Scots Laird, is her rescuer and offers her shelter and so much more. But it she who offers the ultimate gift. Hannah Howell's "The Yearning" is an interesting tale. For four centuries of the male of Clan MacCordy must walk by night. Alpin MacCordy lives with the curse, but he also must marry for money. Lady Sophie Hay is the "bank" but she is more than just a blood bank or a money bank for her love might just be the cure for the curse. Sara Blayne offer us "Strangers in the Night." Georgina Thornbury loves things ancient; digging for treasures in ruins is her cup of tea. Then she meets the mysterious Julius Lathron. What a find for a gal who digs old things?! In "The Awakening" by Kate Huntington. Set in 1800s Her aunt is ailing, so Thalis Cordelia rushes to her side. Once there, she meets her aunt's very strange company who is talk, dark and vampish. Perfect for a raining afternoon.

Very enjoyable read.

Thalia arrives at her aunt Cordelia's home to find she has been hiding something from her & that is Adrian Lucerne. Adrian appears to be about 20 years younger than his lover Cordelia. She is warned about the monster (Adrian) but to no avail, by the vicar who is concerned for her well being & immortal soul. He lost the battle with the aunt, he won't loose the niece to Adrian.Four very enjoyable stories about 4 dark tortured souls who are looking for redemption & the women to give it them. I have only one complaint & that is they are not long enough. When I find a book I enjoy I want it to carry on & never end.
