Book Review of To Kiss in the Shadows (de Piaget, Bk 8.5)

To Kiss in the Shadows (de Piaget, Bk 8.5)
Helpful Score: 7


First, to those who might be confused, this book is the same short story that Lynn Kurland wrote for the anthology called Tapestry. That book has four short stories by four different authors... Here we get to have Lynn's story as a stand-alone book. But this is why it is so short compared to her regular novels.

That said... this is one of my favorite of Lynn's books, despite the shortness of the story. Lynn shared on her bulletin board once that Jason de Piaget of Artane (Robin's youngest son) was one of her favorite characters, and I have to agree. If you've read From This Moment On and This Is All I Ask already, then you already know (and probably love) Jason. Here you get to read his own love story. And believe me... you'll love him even more in this story for his mix of tenderness and gruffness, and his ability to see past Lianna's outer scars and fall desperately in love with her.

PS... for those of you who are Kendrick fans, you'll get to see quite a bit more of him in this book as well. He and Jason's brotherly relationship seems much along the same lines as Robin and Nick's (from If I Had You)... lots of love hidden behind tons of teasing and thrashing. It's fun to read. :-)
