Lynn Kurland fans beware!
There's NO WAY Lynne Kurland wrote this book. I fear that she is now lending her name out to continue this series and it shows. I have read everything that SHE has ever written and this is clearly not in her "voice" but is an amateurish parody of her voice, like fanfic written by a twelve year old. I have her entire collection, but this...thing...I am not keeping it on my shelf. It's an insult to her readers to be passing off this tripe as her own work. It just isn't. I can tell. And just to provide a tiny tiny bit of proof for my theory, read the copyright page. It no longer says "(c) Lynn Kurland". It says "(c) Lynn Kurland Book Productions, Inc."

This is the latest in the de Piaget series and we finally find out what happened to John de Piaget, Montgomery's twin. Unlike some of the other books, this one is centered more on the present than the past and brings up questions of how someone from the past might successfully adjust to the present without any help. As always, there's a happy ending and the promise of more stories to come.

I love to read Lynn Kurland's books - it doesn't matter which family she chooses to focus on - De Piaget or MacLeod - it is always a good romance and a bit of adventure - this one was no exception. As with all of Kurland's books - you fall in love with the characters as they themselves are falling for each other.
We met the main characters Tess and John as secondary characters in previous books. She is an academic from the 21st century, and he is a knight from the 13th - add some time travel, high speed cars, sword fights and castles - and you have just scraped the surface.
A good, fun read! I recommend!

I have always loved this series. Rhys and James' books were my favorite. It appears this series is running out of steam, though. Not sure how many more spins we can get from the same thread. Best part of the book was the last third in which we meet most of our old heroes and heroines from previous books. Ms. Kurland has the ability to intertwine all her beloved characters in her current book. Would love to see what she does with Peaches and Stephen, as they are both from the present. Family reunion in the 21st century?

It's always a delight to read a new Lynn Kurland book, and this one is no exception. Although not a requirement,the book is more enjoyable if you have read the earlier books in this series and know a little about the families involved.
