Rating:  Summary: Enjoyable Review: Three dark romance stories unfold within this single novel. First is Dark Descent by Christine Feehan. Joie Sanders was one of the best bodyguards around. Wounded during duty, she ended up in a hospital for treatment. Joie dealt with the pain by imagining herself in the mountains. It was a trick she had often used, never suspecting that she really was traveling outside her body. In those mountains she met Traian. He was wounded as well and lay in a dark cave. Once their minds touched Joie could not escape Traian's voice. He had linked with her, knowing instantly that she was "the one". He had waited several life times for her. The second is The Star Queen by Susan Grant. Romjha B'kak was leader of an elite group called Raiders. Tai Sai was th group's bombmaker. The group was about to meet some royal outsiders from the stars that would change their lives! The third is Sacrilege by Susan Squires. Magda had been at the Mirso Monastery to overcome her addiction of taking the last drop of blood from her victims. Those within the monastery taught against pleasure and emotions. Love was to be avoided at all costs. Those who failed the teachings were hunted down by the Harrier and executed. When Brother Pietr believed Magda ready, he sent her to San Francisco. She was met by Davinoff and helped to blend in. But Pietr had done the unthinkable. He had fallen in love with Magda. When his mentor, Rubius, found out of Pietr's feelings, he sent the Harrier out to assassinate Magda, though she had done no wrong! **** Paranormal, Science Fiction, and Romance blend together for this collection of novellas. I enjoyed every minute as I read deep into the night. ****
Rating:  Summary: Apparently you will either love it or hate it. Review: Three wonderful authors combine in this anthology to prove that you can get a gift anytime of the year, not only Halloween or Christmas. Ms. Feehan returns readers to the shadowed world of her Carpathians. Troian long ago lost his ability to see color or to feel, as he searched for centuries for his lifemate. He has almost given up when he has a one of a kind meeting with the woman who is his destiny. Loving Joie gives him not only his life back, but a family. Yet, the evil threat of the fallen members of his race threatens to steal his newfound joy. It will take everything not only he and his lifemate have, but call upon the resources of her family as well to defeat them. Susan Grant provides her fans with a bit of history on the people who have made hers a beloved series of futuristic novels. Fans will appreciate the added depth the prequel gives to her other books. Ms. Squires' contribution is an extremely well written continuation of SACRAMENT. She dares to take a villain and turn her into a heroine. The gothic mood is often lightened with quirky humor as Magda deals with the confusing world of the present. Yet before she can achieve her goals and prove herself, she may find that her reputation is more of a handicap than she anticipated. Truth, love, and the importance of the past are all themes that are tenderly portrayed. **** Love is the one thing no one can live without, as each novella reveals in its own unique way. Though newcomers to any of the authors may find themselves a bit lost, it is a reward for fans, and a book that will definitely be a special keeper for more than just this reviewer.
