The Very Thought Of You by Lynn Kurland,
By Groovy Great One (Kelowna, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Very Thought of You (Mass Market Paperback)
After I read "A Dance Through Time", I was hooked. I enjoyed this book also. Sometimes one needs to travel back to a different time, and this book takes you there. I am also a bit of a history buff, and found this book quite accurate. I am not a harliquin romance fan, but these books by Lynn Kurland are of a much higher caliber. We all would like to travel back in time, even for just a moment. This book provides us with a woman warrior posing as the laird of the castle. Great escapism.

Not the Best Kurland book,
By
This review is from: The Very Thought of You (Mass Market Paperback)
Alexander Smith is a modern day man who has made a ton of money in the cut throat business world as something of a corporate raider. While visiting relatives in Scotland he finds a map in his brother-in-law's study indicating time travel 'portals'. Thinking that after 30 plus days of rain he could end up in sunny Barbados (which was clearly noted on the map) as enough of an incentive, Alexander to considers giving it a try. He hops on his horse, heads out to the land marked faery ring, somehow makes a wrong turn and ends up in Medieval England. Clearly recognizing that this was not Barbados, and failing to return home, Alexander realizes that he must have a mission to complete before he can leave. Then he meets Lady Margaret of Falconberg, a spirited amazon of a woman determined to protect her home from the dreaded Ralf de Brackwald. Dressed in chain mail and brandishing all kinds of weapons Margaret thinking she has captured Edward, the brother of her enemy, she kidnaps him from the Brackwald keep. Instead, she ends up with Alex! What follows is the tale of their courtship. Now having read all of the de Piaget family series books by Lynn Kurland which were so very emotional, sensitive, and moving, I have to say, I was somewhat disappointed in the flatness of this book and these characters. Margaret, having led a tough life and holding together her property for 10 years after the death of her father had to be tough, but I have to say that she did not come off as a very endearing person to me. I didn't feel any warmth of character with her and I only got a little emotional with Alex when he saved the 3 year old Amery. The character of Margaret's bard, Baldric, I also felt was flat and his verse was not very enjoyable. There were numerous secondary characters in this tale, but I couldn't raise my enthusiasm level up enough to jump into the melee. It wasn't until nearly the end of the book when Alex's family came looking for them that I felt more life in the tale. I will read more of Kurland's MacLeod series, but honestly must say that I did not enjoy this one as much as all those in the de Piaget family series and cannot enthusiastically recommend this particular book.

An excellent novel.,

This review is from: The Very Thought of You (Paperback)
Though not my favorite Lynn Kurland novel, I did find it an enjoyable read. Having the man go back in time was a welcome switch from the norm, and the realistic characters kept me interested. There was plot, romance--everything I've come to expect from Lynn Kurland.
