No. 28: Love Came Just in Time

Love Came Just in Time

Once I got back on the Lynn Kurland historical romance train, I thought I might as well stick around awhile. This book is a collection of 4 novellas but I am counting it as one book because they are all together in one book.

The Gift of Christmas Past
This is the story of Abigail and Miles dePiaget. Through the machinations of her guardian angel/cat, Abigail is sent back in time to arrive in the smelly moat of Miles dePiaget who is determined to spend his life in solitude after returning from the Crusades.

The Three Wise Ghosts
This is the story of Megan and Gideon dePiaget. No time traveling this time, also no cats, but there are three ghosts and they create plenty of mayhem without need for any other help. Gideon is the modern day dePiaget decendent and is a workaholic. But after his car, laptop, cell phone and clothes suffer at the hands of the ghosts, he realizes that there is more to life than working - for example Megan!

And the Groom Wore Tulle
I love this one - it is Ian MacLeod who is tortured to near death in the Fergussen dungeon but manages to find his way to the future, where he shows up in the storage room of a wedding dress designer, Jane Fergussen. My favorite part is when he thinks he is in heaven and puts on a wedding dress so he will favorably impress the angels. Also my favorite part is when he shows up at his cousins castle. Actually, the whole book is my favorite part!

The Icing on the Cake
This is another time travel free book, it is also free of ghosts (cat or otherwise) and any other supernatural forces. A writer and chef, Samuel MacLeod, moves to Alaska to focus on his writing and avoid the drama with his snobby mother and sister. He rents a room in a house from Sydney who is a hunting guide and all around outdorsy independent type girl. She can't cook, he can't fix a car so clearly they are perfect for each other!
