Editorial Review: Product Description: The Yearning - Hannah'Howell. Tormented by an ancient curse, the young men of Clan MacCordy reach manhood only to walk forever in darkness, thirsting for blood - and Alpin MacCordy is no different. He must wed for coin and land, despite his betrothed's terror-and his own fascination for another woman, Lady Sophie Hay. Bitten - Lynsay Sands. After brooding Keeran MacKay saves Emily Wentworth Collins from a storm-tossed ship: he offers her shelter in his secluded castle. But when a savage kiss reveals Keeran's true nature, Emily realizes that yielding to Keeran's untamed desire may change her own life...forever. Stranger In The Night - Sara Blayne. Georgiana Thornberry hopes to unearth ancient treasure while exploring the moldering ruins of her ancestral home. Instead she encounters Julius Lathrop. Does the enigmatic - and disturbingly attractive - stranger hold the key to a family legend? Or something far more sinister? The Awakening - Kate Huntington. Orphaned Thalia Layton is stricken to hear that her beloved, eccentric Aunt Cordelia has taken ill. But upon her arrival at Cordelia's remote estate, Thalia discovers that her aunt has harboured dangerous secrets - and that Thalia's own attraction to Adrian Lucerne, Cordelia's mysterious - and oddly nocturnal - companion, may prove to be a sensual temptation that will cost her life...

![]() Rating: - Longer Versions RequiredThe Yearning by Hannah Howell left me just that...yearning for more...all the needed elements were there for this to work as a short story HOWEVER, once again, Hannah has the reader so engrossed in her characters that you truly want more of them...a full length novel would have been thoroughly enjoyable. I loved the Scottish language and felt it added immensely. An age old curse forcing two families to live tragically until at last, one sees a possible end to it...but will it happen in time? Read ...

Read More Rating: - So-so collection of vampire novellas - I�ve read much betterThe first story in this collection is The Yearning, by Hannah Howell. I found this story profoundly irritating, largely because of the very distracting use of dialect. When American writers set out to write Scots, they seem to take it as a challenge to prove that they can write phonetic dialect - but it's never consistent and always distracting. I was also bored because the characters aroused no interest at all in me. They seemed one-dimensional and boring. I found myself counting the pages remaining ...

But if you are looking for troubled souls and woman that will risk all to be with the man they love, then you will find all these tales very heartwarming. These are not dark and deadly vamps, but romantic ones. All the tales were very well written and special. I especially loved Lynsay Sands' tale. I have been a long time reader of her works so I come to expect things about ... Read More Rating: - Spellbinding"The Yearning" by Hannah Howell.
