1: One quite nice, one only mediocre
The first story, The Vampire Viscount, is very well done with a few minor, but nice twists on vamps. Harbaugh creates good characters in Nicholas and Leonore and a very good romance. It's not perfect but it's something different, has some excellent moments, and is a nice read. Three stars.
The Devil's Bargain is not as good -- its devil and angel "bargain" is trite and takes away from the storyline. Although Eveline's great, you sometimes don't know whether or not to like Richard. One and 1/2 to two stars.
