Born of the Night: This has been my first work of Amanda Ashley's as well. It was my favorite of the four stories in this anthology. MIDNIGHT PLEASURES The back cover says: Handsome and sensual, surrounded by an aura of danger, mystery and the forbidden, a lover steps from the shadows. But is he mortal? Or is he an ancient god, a sorcerer, or a mythical beast who ca possess a woman's heart...and her very soul? Four of romance's most popular authors have created this spellbinding collection of stories filled with dark passion and desire. Under the cover of darkness, their heroes inhabit worlds haunted by ageless hungers and deadly forces stronger than any seen by day...and vanquished only by the power of love. Now travel into realms where dazzling wonders roam the night, where magic replaces reason, and where a kiss unleashes a raging fire in the blood. And here, if you dare, discover the seduction that begins at the bewitching hour when a man and a woman partake in...MIDNIGHT PLEASURES. WOLF DREAMER An excerpt from a letter by the Silhouette editors says: "...we are delighted to bring you this special collection featuring three brand new stories about a Native American legacy and the hote it brings to three different couples as they fall in love. The legend begins with a historical romance set on the Western frontier, "Wolf Dreamer" by Madeline Baker. In this dramatic story, a woman's spirit is restored by the proud Indian warrior who saves her life. And her happiness is secured by a cradleboard created to protect the lives of her future children." The other two stories by Kathleen Eagle and Ruth Wind are contempory; all three stories are tied together by the cradleboard.  September 2001 AFTER TWILIGHT A man hunts for a woman. Yet what if he is no ordinary male, but a predator in search of prey? A dark soul looking for the light? A vampire, a werewolf, a mythic being who strikes fear into the hearts of mortals. Three of romance's hottest bestselling authors invite you to explore the dark side, to taste the forbidden, to dive into danger with heroes who fire the blood and lay claim to the soul in these striking tales of sensual passion. When day fades into night, when fear becomes fascination, when the swirling seduction of everlasting love overcomes the senses, it must be...AFTER TWILIGHT. PARADISE The lush, tropical beauty of Hawaii has inspired plenty of romance. But then, so have the croonings of a certain hipshaking rock'n'roll legend. In these tales of love by some of romance's brightest stars, four couples put on their blue suede shoes and learn they don't need a Hawaiian vacation to find paradise. Whether they're in Las Vegas, Nevada, or Paradise, Pennsylvania, passion will blossom where they least expect it - especially with a little helping hand from the King himself. The Writers Club Romance Group on AOL Reviewer Board said: Madeline Baker captures us in the magic relationship as it grows between Kathy and Jessie, bringing us into the story as it quickly unfolds. Her characters are riveting, and her emotions strike true, as she quickly brings us to the enthralling conclusion. In Jessie's Girl Ms. Baker has woven a story that will please Elvis fans and romance fans alike.  December 1994 THE TOPAZ MAN PRESENTS SECRETS OF THE HEART* MASQUERADE Madeline Baker's Masquerade is about a vampire determined to protect the woman he loves - from himself. *This book is out of print, but my story, Masquerade, has been reprinted in the Leisure anthology, AFTER TWILIGHT.  September 1994 ENCHANTED CROSSINGS Heart of the Hunter Affaire de Coeur said: There's magic in every page of ENCHANTED CROSSINGS, a hauntingly beautiful anthology that contains one novella starring the sexiest ghost in creation, and two futuristic short stories that perfectly mix action, adventure and passion. Kelly McBride, the owner of a Montana ranch, is torn between two lovers: a Lakota spirit warriors who guards gold, and his flesh-and-blood descendent. There seems no way possible for Kelly and the ghostly spirit to make a life together. Lee Roan Horse, an embittered ex-con, descends on the ranch to steal the gold of his ancestors, but finds in Kelly the love of a lifetime that he's afraid to acknowledge. As death comes to claim Kelly, the spirit and Lee form an alliance to protect the woman they both love, one that defies the laws of life and death. HEART OF THE HUNTER, by Madeline Baker, is a definite keeper. From Library Journal Anthologies focusing on a wide variety of themes are becoming increasingly popular and are a good way to sample the works of various writers. In vastly different ways, these three stories by veteran romance writers defy time and space to ensure the romantic destinies of their characters. Madeline Baker's "Heart of the Hunter" is the longest of the three and features a ghostly Native American hero. Anne Avery's "Dream Seeker," which explores the relationship between romance and imagination, and Kathleen Morgan's "The Last Gatekeeper," a sometimes violent story of love, duty, and sacrifice, are both short, though dissimilar, futuristic romances. |
