Jennifer McKinnon is convinced there are no more knights in shining armor-at least not in Manhattan. Little does she know that a hero of legendary chivalry waits her...800 years in the past.
In the newest from veteran romance novelist Kurland (Star of the Morning), Manhattan concert violinist Jennifer McKinnon fears that she will never find a decent man—a tough enough prospect even without the "otherworldly things" in her family tree. Namely, her mother's side of the family has a history of marrying people from outside their own time period, and her ghostly relatives have conspired to get Jennifer married off to the perfect knight: Nicholas de Piaget, of the 13th century. After Jennifer is hurled back into his world by means of a time gate, she falls instantly in love with the handsome knight. Though the feeling is mutual, Nicholas is tormented by her desperation to find a way back to the future. Though the setup is promising, Kurland fails to deliver any meaningful conflict. The leads never seem to be in any real danger of losing each other, as nearly every character works to get them together and keep them that way. Moreover, the exceedingly chaste romance—with just a few passionate kisses between the leads—will leave many romance fans frustrated. (May)

June 01, 2007: This was my first Lynn Kurland novel, but I loved every minute of it and I cannot wait to read more of her work. The humor is actually funny, I found myself laughing a great deal, and the romance is sweet, I found myself getting that warm fuzzy feeling on more than one occasion. Now I like steamy sex scenes as much as the next person, but I am relieved that Kurland felt she didn't need this kind of stuff to clutter up in her story. I just hope that I can have such a dashing knight like Nicolas some day!
