Product Description
Cathal MacNachton and Connall MacAdie are cousins bound by far more than blood ties and the rugged Highland landscape their clan calls home. The ancient curse of their ancestry has fated them to live by night with an unquenchable thirst that neither can tame. The only thing that can save their souls is marriage to Outsiders - mortals whose untainted blood will weaken the curse in their children, and break the chains of fear that have made their clan a breed apart. Bridget Callan and Eva Caxton are the women who will shape the clan's destiny. Marriage to these strange and mysterious men rescues each of them from desperate circumstances - and draws them into a web of danger, desire, and intrigue they never could have imagined. But Eva and Bridget refuse to be pawns in the battle that erupts as the future of the cursed clan hangs in the balance - a war that must be fought after the sun sets over the deep, still lochs. Whatever the outcome, they'll stand strong by their brooding warrior lairds, willing and able to fulfil their desires - and face down their enemies...

 Book review August 2, 2008
Excellent book, excellent service. I buy a lot from Amazon and would definately recommend this to everyone I know.
 Entertaining! March 6, 2007
I was uncertain when I purchased the book as to what, exactly, it's format was. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that it consisted of two intertwined stories by two different authors. I'm a big Hannah Howell fan, but I'd never read anything by Lynsay Sands. I was impressed by how well the two authors pulled it off. Though their styles are different, the stories mesh well. The personalities of the protagonists are also quite different, as is the way each couple is introduced to each other. The secondary characters in each story are also well developed and either quite appealing or they make very excellent, if stereotypical, villains. Easy to read in one sitting.
Intriguing! July 4, 2006
This twin tale of cousins was not quite what I expected. The shortened story lengths packed a lot of information within its few pages. That is one thing that surprised me! I really came to understand the whole rare-meat-loving, non-light-loving clan's history with just a few explanations. The accelerated storyline also held my short attention span better than a full length novel. Others have explained the storyline and I will not go into it again, but I liked the Hannah Howell entry the best. Cathel and Bridget made for a fun couple with word play and more relaxed situations, plus Bridget had a secret of her own that was fun to discover. I enjoyed Connal and Eva's romance also. I liked that Connal had met Eva before and been impressed by her enough to send men to bring her to him. The assassination attempts were rather distracting, but in the end I liked Eva's strength in protecting the man she loved.
Two intriguing tales from authors I have read before. Their writing strength shows in these stories - very interesting presentation! Worth reading.

I basically bought this book because of the Scottish theme. There wasn't many reviews so I was a little worried. BUT, this book was great. I loved how the two stories were similiar, but different. They were somewhat short, but they held my interest the whole time. I also loved the whole vampire theme. This book is worth reading, and I am happy to add this one to my collection.
An eternal winner! September 29, 2005

While I agree with the others, Howell's story is better than Sands, they are still TWO OUTSTANDING stories. It is kind of like saying chocolate is better than caramel. Come on, they are both yummy! And so are these two stories. The highlanders Cathal and Connall are strong compassionate men who must face a difficult decision. I will not ruin the book - and I hate when reviews do that. A review should encourage you to either read the book or skip it - I highly encourage you to read it. This is an eternal keeper!
