Berkley has put four
of Kurland's previously published Christmas novellas into one book. Since
I am a fan of Kurland's time travel romances, I thought this was a wonderful
idea.
The Gift of Christmas
Past was first printed in The Christmas Cat Anthology and the lead characters
can be found in The More I See You. Miles and Abigail meet up when a bit
of time travel lands her in 1238, in a filthy English moat on England/Scotland
border. Abigail also discovers her cat Sir Sweetums, who has been missing
for two years, walking through the castle
. This one was my absolute
favorite.
The Three Wise Ghosts
was first printed in the Christmas Spirits Anthology, and the author promises
to feature the three ghosts again in a future book. Megan has had the
worst luck in the job world, whereas Gideon is a successful CEO. They
meet up in a quaint Inn run by a very nervous villager. The three matchmaking
ghosts inhabiting the inn make for a delightful, fun read.
And The Groom Wore Tulle
was first printed in the Veils of Time Anthology, and Ian was mentioned
in the previous tale, A Dance Through Time. Ian and Jane meet when Ian
is transferred through time from a smelly dungeon in England to just down
wind of Jersey. It gets more exciting when they venture to Scotland to
meet up with a previous relative who also traveled to the present. An
entertaining, imaginative read.
The Icing on the Cake
was first printed in Opposites Attract Anthology, and features a modern-day
Macleod. Sydney lives and works in Alaska. Samuel has traveled there for
a break. He's handsome and rich, but chooses to make a living with his
hands. Sydney wants to take advantage of his skills and asks for lessons;
She gets more then she bargained for. It's a contemporary tale of life's
lessons in love.
Kurland's stories permeate
with the essence of romance. Her writing style is smooth. Her imagination
is never ending. Read just one of these novellas and you will become a
fan for life.
