Search - Much Ado In the Moonlight (MacLeod Family, Bk 9)

This is the story of Victoria McKinnon, sister of Thomas McKinnon from another Lynn Kurland favorite (My Heart Stood Still). It is a tale that stands on its own, yet has plenty of references to other Kurland books that will make you want to re-read to get the full story...A thoroughly engaging read; fun and an opportunity to appreciate anew quotes from the Bard.

OF COURSE the hero-lady is going to fall in love with the big, burly Scot warrior/ghost. OF COURSE he hates everyone in her family from the beginning of time. OF COURSE he is going to fall in love with her. It's been done, it's been done, it's been done! Then why did I like it so much?!? Probably because it is so well written that I could smell the woods,feel the drafts in the castle and taste the warm ale in the pub! Great read!

My first Lynn Kurland novel. I adored the story including time-travel and ghosts as well as comedy! This is the story of Connor MacDougal and Victoria McKinnon and their romp through different times while falling in love. Connor is one of my favorite characters of all Lynn's books. This story prompted me to become hooked on her stories.

It's nice to visit old friends sometimes. It has been awhile since I ventured into the magical worlds of Kurland and I found I still thoroughly enjoy it! She is still way too wordy, somewhat silly but always wonderful fun.

The story line in "Much Ado..." is very much the same as is has been throughout the entire Piaget/MacCloud series with the hero (in this instance Conner MacDougal) and heroine (Victoria MacKinnon) jumping through time on their quest for true love. In previous books, Conner was portrayed as a nasty, rather unlikeable character and Victoria the overly brash and headstrong sister to other main characters. Here, we find them both completely changed, Conner cries and Victoria's insecure. While we understand Victoria's about-face (after all, we all experience those self-doubting moments - even the most determined of us) but Conner's weeping jags just cannot rise to believable if we are to also accept him as a hardened medieval Laird. Aw well, one reads Kurland for the fantasy after all and THAT part never disappoints!

I have read several Lynn Kurland books and am a great fan. I love the time travel books but this is the first one I have read that involves a ghost. I was drawn in to the characters of the book, both real and sepctral. Some were quite different than expected and there were twists and turns that kept you guessing. I enjoyed this book and look forward to my next Kurland novel.

Not one of my favorite Lynn Kurland books but still good. I just don't relate to the characters quite as much as in some of her other books.
