Somewhat disappointing. Every character was so cookie-cutter and one dimensional. I find it hard to believe that the one sister was quite that completely awful. If she's that unpleasant, why is everybody going along with her every whim? ( )

Always a delight to read a Lynn Kurland "DePiaget time travel" romance. This one is standard fare - which means it is an enjoyable read and well worth the trip to re-visit the gang - and the great news is that Montgomery finally gets his story told.

Thumbs up on this one! ( )

Lynn Kurland excels at writing romance novels and time travel romance novels. I am not a big fan of the time travel trope or of the middle ages, but while Lynn Kurland is writing on both of these topics, I will be an avid reader. She excels at making the characters so likable and vivid that you buy into the rest of her world, whether it be a world with time travel or the middle ages.

This is an interesting take on the evil sister tales - but the heroine being "too nice" to stand up for herself is a bit tiresome. I do not like that so many romance novels equate being a doormat to being a good person. It simply doesn't make any sense to idealize weakness. That said, the heroine does learn to live and grow in such a positive way, that you like her in spite of this. The hero of this novel is as likable as all of Kurland's heroes - strong, capable, curious, and quite funny.

I recommend any and all Kurland titles, including this one. While I normally like a book where there are sex scenes, Kurland's books are not about sex at all - she has the bedroom door FIRMLY closed. That does mean that you can feel comfortable loaning or recommending this book to most anyone and that is always nice. ( )

I have enjoyed all of the books in Lynn Kurland's de Piaget series and this book is no exception. Kurland writes believable characters in unbelievable situations and makes them real to the reader.

The only character I could see no real use for in the book is Cindi. She makes Pippa's life rather unbearable and then is dropped out midway through the book. I really did not understand that choice on Kurland's part. Other than this small quibble though, I found the book thoroughly enjoyable. ( )

Love,Love Love her books! ( )
