"Kiss of the Vampire" by Hannah Howell. In 1478 at court Janklyn MacNachton sees Efrica Callen for the first time in three years and realizes he still desires her. When two lords accost Efrica, he intercedes. She makes it clear she wants him, but he offers this wealthy heiress nothing but darkness that will eventually become the light that he sees deep in her soul.

"His Eternal Bride" by Adrienne Basso. In 1321 Anaxandra watches the wonderful Highlander lead his men to a slaughter of the English. Afterward the creature of the night slips into his keep and has her way him. The McCloskey clan blames the death of their chieftain on his bride Callum. They lock her away in an isolated tower where she dreams of seeing her beloved once more. As she begins to believe he still lives in a shadowy place, Callum debates joining him in his realm.

"To Tame the Beast" by Deborah Raleigh. Bane the Beast of MacDonnell is cursed to live a lonely existence so he forces each generation of the Foster clan to give him the oldest daughter when she turns twenty-one. Kathryn will be the next sacrifice shortly, but her younger sister Isobella challenges Bane to leave them alone, but is stunned to find a handsome man rather than a monster. He is shocked that the lass will do what no warrior has done in centuries get into his face and no woman ever before get into his heart.

These are three delightfully biting vampiric historical Scottish romances that will leave the audience thirsting for more bloodsucking hunks and passionate women who tame the beasts.

I really liked this book. It was the first vampire, historical, romance novel that I read and now I can not find enough of them. If you enjoy historical romance with a twist you will enjoy this book.

Three stories for the price of one. I enjoyed all the stories, especially the one by author Hannah Howell. I read all her books.

I thought this book was riveting and worth reading. It was spell binding and I finshed it in less than 24 hours, even though I do work and I just could not put it down.

I enjoyed this book. I normally read contemporary romances, but this was given to me as a gift. I have decided to read more books by these authors. This book is written in 3rd person (for those who do not like 1st person written books!).

After reading many intriguing vampire stories, and many stories of the Highlands (most notably, the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon), the only way to categorize this is "fluff". The feel of the Highlands is glancing and repetitive, and the horror level is mild. There is just too much of the trashy romance novel here for my taste.

Of course, as everyone's taste is different, your mileage may vary.
