From the Author
As a reader of the medieval era, I'm fascinated about the history of the era and those who lived in during the medieval times. I hope you enjoy my story about forbidden worlds uniting in my story in the Born To Bite anthology.

"Born to Bite" is a sensual supernatural anthology featuring stories from talented authors Hannah Howell, Diana Cosby, and Erica Ridley. Early 1500's Scotland is the setting for Hannah Howell's "Dark Secret". Murdina Dunbar, homeless and without family, travels far to find her aunt and uncle. Hoping to meet up with some cousins too, she finds her aunt and uncle have passed away, and all her hopes for a family reunion are buried along with them in a cold, windy graveyard. With nowhere else to turn, Murdina accepts a position as a maid in the local keep, working hard and trying to find out about her cousin Adeline. Chosen to be the personal maid for the handsome and mysterious Sir Baldwin, Murdina finds herself irresistibly drawn to the darkly appealing nobleman. Sir Baldwin is actually Gillanders MacNachton, staying at the keep in hopes of finding out who murdered a member of his clan. Gillanders is no mere mortal, and Murdina has a secret of her own: she can read the thoughts of others. Realizing Murdina is his fated mate, he wonders if she will accept his true nature. Others do not wish for a happy ending for these two, and much mayhem is about in the keep. Gillanders and Murdina are more connected than they could have imagined, and it is a perilous bond indeed. Medieval Scotland is the era for Diana Cosby's "Highland Vampire". Drawn to a ceremonial stone circle by a compelling voice invading her mind, Rowan Campbell discovers a dying warrior. Aedan MacGregor, Laird of the Highland Vampire Coven, has been betrayed and left to burn in the searing rays of the rising sun. Unable to resist his allure, Rowan leads Aedan to the safety and darkness of a cave, and later allows him to drink a few drops of her blood to restore his strength. With the first taste of the heady and precious life-giving elixir, Aedan knows that he has found his destined mate. However, they learn that Rowan is a witch and the granddaughter of the Fairy Queen of the Underworld, and their union is not only forbidden, it is dangerous. Becoming a vampire could prove fatal to Rowan, and Aedan's enemies will do all in their power to destroy the Laird and his Lady Love. Erica Ridley's "Never Been Bitten" takes place in England at the twilight of the Regency Era. Miss Elspeth Ramsay, seemingly spinsterish societal miss, is also a paranormal investigator. Accepting assignments from the wealthy and willy-nilly, she finds herself at loss when faced with a genuine vampire. Martainn Macane, known as "Cain", is a highland warrior on a mission to find the runaway bride of his laird. The search has lasted for over two hundred years, and Cain has become known as "Lord Lovenip", an "is he or isn't he" rogue known for leaving lovenips on the necks of society beauties--all the better to seek out the elusive bridal escapee. When Elspeth bites him, all preconceived notions fly away on night-wings, and Elspeth will soon learn that her life has been a lie, and she is far from a normal young lady. Can it be that Cain will find the love and happiness so long denied him as he closes in on his prey? After reading "Born to Bite" you will definitely sleep with a nightlight burning--not because you are afraid of the dark, but because you are hoping for a nibble!

The first story was interesting. the phonetic use of the Scottish accent got "verra" annoying after a while. I am not a fan, but it may not bother you. It could be a good series, but I am not all that inspired to find out. It kind of reminded me of Christine Feehan's work.The second story moved ridiculously fast. Way to much information and not enough development of characters. But at least the Scottish accent was toned down. I don't see myself reading anything from this author. And last but in no way least, the third story is my favorite. It takes place in England so although our vampire is technically Scottish there are no Brogues to speak of. Quick, witty, and silly this is definitely a series I can see myself getting into. It had a definite Alexia Tarabotti feel to it, and since Gail Carriger has ended that series this may just be able to fill that hole for me.

Rowan Campbell had been labeled a witch by those who only believed what they wanted. Rowan was told that vampires were mythical until the day she saved Aedan MacGregor, Laird of the Highland Vampire Coven from imminent death.
Aedan believes Rowan to be his mate regardless that she is human and he is determined to protect and save her. There is nothing simple and uncomplicated about their relationship and the longer they are together the more issues arise. Everything stands in the way of their love including the vampire and Fey community of which Rowan it seems belongs.
Rowan craves Aedan's love and he in return knows his existence is futile without her. However, those out to stop the relationship and their entire known life will not want stop hunting until they are destroyed. But is the enemy from the outside or could it be from within?
Diana Cosby writes a colorful, romantic, and action packed story. Ms Cosby leaves the reader with the feeling of overwhelming literary satisfaction.
