"Romantic fantasy"
He searched for his soul mate for a millenium before the
vampire horde captured him in the catacombs below Paris.
However, after a seemingly endless captivity, Lachlain
MacRieve senses the scent of his Beloved One; this gives
the leader of the Lykae Clan the incentive to escape,
which he does. Lachlain's euporhoria turns into a rage when he realizes
the irony that fate has wrought to him. His chosen mate
is a hybred vampire-valkyrie, two natural enemies merged
inside her soul and body. Even worse following his
abduction of Emmaline, he realizes she lacks the strength
of either species. Instead she behaves like a frightened
rabbit, which Emmaline is as she has heard horror tales
about the torture and violence employed by the Lykae.
However as scared as she is, Emmaline finds courage in her
attraction to her chief kidnapper Lachlain. Her fortitude
makes him realize that his beloved has an inner strength
few contain. As the soulmates fall in love in his remote
Scottish castle, the vampire horde seek both of them at
the same time her irate valkyrie relatives seek to
liberate her. Romantic fantasy fans will appreciate the return to Cole's
world (see the novella "The Warlord Wants Forever" in
PLAYING EASY TO GET) as this character driven star-crossed
lovers tale is so much fun to read. The action-packed
story line plays out on three levels: the lead couple's
seductively sexual encounter while falling in love in his
castle; her Valkyrie aunt coming to her rescue; and the
vampires wanting to kill him and abduct her for her
different blood type. A HUNGER LIKE NO OTHER is a superb
thriller that will allow NO REST FOR THE WICKED as this is
a fast sensational read. Harriet Klausner
