Enchanting!! Suit for Collecting!!: I was introduced to Lynnn Kurland's books not so long ago and I had a hard time trying to collect all her books specially the anthology with other authors. This book came out just in time to save me from any further frustration!! Four fantastic short stories about de Piaget and Macleod families. "The gift of christmas past" is my most favorite. This story was previously published in The christmas cat anthology which is really hard to find. The story is about a romantic time travelling of a luckless Abigail Garrett who eventually found her true love in england medieval time. The same storyline continues in "And the groom wore tulle" (previously published in Veils of time anthology) ..only this time, Manificent Ian Macleod was travelled through time to find his love in a modern day world. "The icing on the cake" (previously published in Opposites attract anthology) and "The three wise ghosts" (previously published in Christmas Spirits anthology) are pretty much about modern day romance.. but of course, it's about the decendents of de Piaget and Macleod line. Since these are all short stories, you will see all relationship between characters developed in, kind of, a short period of time..not like other of Kurland's books. But her writing is still full of humor and heart-warming feeling. I found myself laughed and smiled a lot while going through each page. So if you are Lynn Kurland's fan or just looking around to find good romance novellas to read, I highly recommend you to get this book. It's worth every penny you spend.!!!
Perfect for collecting all her works: Finally!!! I can read some of the cutest stories she's ever written, without having to drop money for skanky tales by equally-talented but less discerning authors. I was torn between collecting books by one of my favorite authors and explaining to my daughters, in a few years, why they couldn't read some of Mom's books. Thank you for publishing a collection of her works in a format that prevents them from being cheapened by other material!
save your money: I loved Stardust of Yesterday, each book since has been ok, but nothing in comparison. This one, I almost threw away without finishing it, and I hate to throw books away.
Sweet & Romantic but very little sizzle: I have been a HUGE fan of Lynn Kurland since I picked up A Dance Through Time and the characters we met there, as well as in The Very Thought of You, came together again in this tale. The romance between Iolanthe and Thomas was sweet and he's one of those men you wish could walk into your own corner of the universe to pledge his undying love, but I was disappointed by the lack of sizzle here. It was a sweet tale but when compared to Stardust of Yesterday, (male ghost/female heroine), it fell short. Despite that, it was a great romance and I can't wait for the next book from Lynn!
A Kurland Fan: I loved this book. It has all of my favorites in one. Although I wish that Ian had gotten a book of his own. I really CAN'T understand why anyone would rate this 1 star!!!! I can't wait until I get her latest one. Lynn Kurland and Diana Gabaldon are two of my favories authors in this genre. Keep up the great work!
