"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.Harriet Klausner
This deserves a lot more than a five star rating in my opinion because of the quality of the stories these authors brought to us. To start, you have Hannah Howell, one I got introduced to by my mother-in-law, and instantly fell in love with her stories and her portrayal of the Highlands. The other two authors I'm gettin g introduced to in this book have me curious to look up their works as well. My favorite story in here is To Tame a Beast. I highly recommend this book, along with others by Hannah Howell, Adrienne Basso, and Deborah Raleigh!
I am only reviewing Highland Vampire. It's the only series I'm reading. I absolutely adored this book! It was a fast read, but it had so much information and storyline it didn't feel short. Great book!
These stories are ok, but they are multiple short story anthologies and are not really related to each other within individual books. Some of the stories are related to each other in other anthologies. I had the hardest time figuring out what order to read the stories in and actually was unable to. The author's website does not even give this info clearly. It was frustrating to finish a story then start a new book that had related characters but happened before the one I just read for example. The stories are from different authors and some not even the same genre. It was just too much work to be fun!
I have read just about all of this series from this author. She keeps your interest throughout the book, and does draw correlation between her stories. You feel she is giving you a tour of this fantasy world. Nicely done with all of the superstitions.
Will always buy her books and read them over and over. Would always recomend her books for fast moving good series stories. I have read all of her books. Wish she would write more full books rather then sharing with other authors.

Awesome set of stories contained in this book. Each story was unique due to the slightly different styles of each author. It was a very well put together set and each author is talented. I purchased this set through Kindle Unlimited and am glad I did. If you like vampire love stories you will definitely enjoy this. The book has intrigue, suspense and each one unique. Enjoy!!
