Ah, Scotland, an Art History student's wet dream. Gorgeous old castles, great booze, sexy locals with even sexier accents, and even a gory ghost story or two.

It proved to be an interesting reading.

(view spoiler)[There was hardly any romance in this short story. But I think what most weighed down the rating was the feeling it left me with. The whole thing felt like a piece taken from a larger story. It raised more questions than it answered. Who was the mysterious man Cormac was thinking of? Why was the redcap attracted to the flash of the camera? And I didn't quite understand why Max broke up with Nick (or maybe it's mentioned and I skimmed over that...more

Whoa. We meet Cormac here for the first time in all his aggressive, dominant, sexy glory.

Marshall, a tourist looking for great photo ops meets up with Cormac, Druid sorcerer, in the ruins of haunted Knock Castle, Scotland. Night falls and evil sets chase. This free quickie is packed with action, horror, sharp, hot sex and wonderful language and imagery.

"The moonlight made his skin and hair glow gold, like he was some kind of god, ancient and beautiful..."

Maxwell's annoyingly young, but there's cranky Cormac from The Druid Stone so that makes up for it. The story itself is a good one if a little short, but it's also slice-of-life so I don't know how much more mileage really could have been gotten out of it.

This is a fun short story. I liked the atmosphere of the setting and the sexy boldness of the protagonist, Maxwell. It's a quick read, but I certainly got a feeling for Maxwell and his relationship problems at home :). It's not too deep, has some fun action, in both an exciting-spooky and a sensual sense.

All in all, good way to take up 20 mins.
Clodia Metelli
An enjoyable short story, rather lighter and less polished than others I've read by these authors maybe. Obviously a snippet from a larger universe that raised interesting questions about the supernatural and then distracted us with sex from pondering the answers!
Don Bradshaw
A short, sexy introduction to the swarthy Cormac. He's got some attitude that counters Maxwell's free spirited exuberance. We see that both men are hurting and in need of someone who understands them.
G.B. Gordon
Not as perfectly crafted or significant as Harm Reduction, which really blew me away. But I still liked it well enough.
JustJen
Nice short addition to the series.

Damn! Wish there were more.
