A Love which Transcends Existence . . .

It is the year 1702. Aislinn, the daughter of a sheep farmer in western Ireland, is a tenacious redheaded lass who has NO intention of ever settling into the dutiful roles of marriage and motherhood demanded of her by her father. The only thing she has ever wanted is to pursue her dreams of being a professional fiddler, and that is fully what she intends to do – with or without the blessing of her family.

Nevertheless, all that, and so much more, is about to change when she is unwilling persuaded into participating in her older cousin’s girlish, traditional Celtic love spell to see the face of the lad she will be destined to marry. Aislinn doesn't take it at all seriously, until that night when she dreams of a handsome dark-haired lad – just as she was told would happen.

Falling for some charming lad was never part of her plans. Only now, Aislinn cannot seem to shake her obsession with him – nor does she want to! And though she never looks back after he comes into her life, things seem to do anything but fall beautifully into place.

The vision of Donovan wasn't the only vision that Aislinn had ever experienced. She had always felt out of the ordinary somehow. She just didn't know why – yet.

Her father never misses an opportunity to rebuke Aislinn for her peculiarities. He accuses her of being a changeling of the sidhe, the dreaded faerie folk of Ireland that delight in causing mischief for decent folk like him.

Perhaps, she is.

Fact is, for most of her life, Aislinn has been tormented by strange visions. And now, every one of them is about to manifest themselves to her.

Just when all Aislinn believes she wanted is right within her grasp, she awakes in a strange bed in a castle surrounded by Vampires and the commanding presence of a striking man with an otherworldly attraction.

She has no idea of his intentions, but from the shivers surging down her spine she is certain she’s about to find out.

Everything is about to change . . .

She finds herself heaved into a world of secrets, violence and lust so powerful; it will either consume her or destroy her.

The thing is, Aislinn has no earthly idea of who or what she actually is. To discover the secret for herself, she will embark on a quest which will test her strength and devotion more than she could ever have imagined.

But first, she’ll have to lose everything!

Cailín (which is the Gaelic word for 'lass/girl') is the first book in the Anam Céile Chronicles, a series which centers around true love, soul mates, self-discovery, loss, vampires, lust, and the faith in reincarnation set in the lush backdrops of rugged Ireland, beautiful, culturally rich Italy and Florence, amongst others.

Review

"The most gripping thing in this story, for me, was the author's vivid use of words to create the emotion and detail. She certainly proves that the build up can be just as satisfying as the climax. The way she shows the relationship between Aislinn and Donovan, not rushing anything but just building the suspense. And then when thrown into the erotic driven vampire world, you will be fanning yourself! I did enjoy the historical aspect of the vampire world. It was reminiscent of Anne Rice's, 'Interview with the Vampire', for me. Very steamy!"   ~ Kat Meyer, SMI Book Club Reviewer.

From the Author

   I write descriptive stories in lush settings overflowing with every emotion shared by the human experience: joy, hope, love, desire, longing, lust, jealousy, hunger, loathing, uncertainty, grief, and desperation, amongst others.  As we can all relate to some, if not most of these, I delve into these matters of the heart and put them on naked display for you, the reader of my stories. At times you will find the aura of my stories exceedingly beautiful, and then suddenly, rather dark.    Whether it is my novels or my Erotica novellas, I delight in writing a passionate sex scene, but do so in a manner which, though still deliciously explicit enough to stimulate your blood flow, is not necessarily crude. I write the stories I always sought to read, yet could never seem to come across these days.     I am most honoured to have had my style of writing compared to Anne Rice, as well as classic female erotica writer Anaïs Nin.  If you enjoy work by these great authors, as well as more contemporary paranormal romance authors such as Felicity Heaton, Bella Forrest or Tina Folsom, then you are sure to love mine.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Irish Treat
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2014

This novel is an explicitly descriptive tale of paranormal romance and lust in a clearly defined, picturesque setting. Scarlett is amazing at putting human emotion on the page, giving the reader a literary taste of love, desire, longing, lust, jealousy, hunger, loathing, uncertainty, grief, joy, anger and desperation. She is quite adept at giving the reader a taste of the countryside and a full course buffet of Irish sex in all it's explicit, exotic and erotic glory. She even manages to write the old Irish dialect without trying to write the accent.

Now for the critical parts, I realize this is a series and we are only on book one, but there are a few thing left unexplored that prodded at my curiosity nodes. Things left unsaid, unexplained and unexposed. I am certainly hoping to have my curiosity filled in subsequent books. And we do have to slide over a few rhythmically uneven parts and a touch of repetitiveness, but that can be forgiven and forgotten by most of us, just like we forget when a piece of cake is perfectly moist and flavorful, but the icing is not as sweet as we might like. It is the cake that is important, just as here the story is the most important part.

If you like Irish sex in the sand and lust in the dust, you will enjoy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Read!
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2013

"Cailín" is a beautifully written book. The descriptions of the different locations plunge the reader right into the scene, and the emotional detail smoothly merge the main character, Aislinn, with the reader.

"Cailín" is a coming of age tale which follows a naïve, yet strong willed, young girl who wants nothing to do with the social norms of her time (until she discovers her soul mate) into a vampire instinct driven erotic filled adult life she would neither have dreamed of, nor wanted.

"Cailín" also is a wonderful romance story with such interpersonal detail it allows the reader to truly understand the level of love between the two. The erotic scenes take a refreshing stance in that there is a slow build up and the vocabulary used is succulent and savoring.

The author writes a roller coaster of a story which leaves one wanting more! I gave "Cailín" an easy 5 stars, and now I am now waiting for the next book with excitement!

4.0 out of 5 stars Vampires, Irish, and Love
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2014

While not a huge fan of vampire romance, Rosalind Scarlett's novel, Cailín is intriguing and filled with vivid imagery of the world of Éire. (Ireland for those who don't know Irish.)

Aislinn is young girl living on the west coast of Ireland in 1702. Being a red head and left handed marked her a a misfit, at least in the eyes of her father. However she has many friends and eventually falls in love with a young man name Donavan, whom her father does not approve of. On the eve of her wedding, she is kidnapped by a vampire lord. She escapes but is not unscathed, for she is now a vampire and needs to learn to control her hunger.

Both people who are fans of vampires and those who aren't will find themselves drawn into the story of this young "cailín", determined to fight her destiny to be with the one she loves.

"Cailin" had me from the start. The author is a talented writer - I'm amazed at how she was able to keep the Irish "accent" going throughout the whole book.
That aside, her descriptions are lush and her characters are emotive and real. The action moves along at an even pace then builds up to an erotic frenzy that has to be read to be believed.

I happily give this book five stars and am already waiting with anticipation for the next book!

This was the weirdest, most nonsensical plot line I have ever read. Was quite disappointed. The whole story made no sense, simply a farcical prop for gratuitous sexual scenes.

I was delighted by the author's use of Gaelic words and cadence throughout the book. I could almost hear the characters speaking. The story flows along, capturing one's imagination, making it difficult to put down. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
