The More I See You (de Piaget Family)

I've had this book on my wish list for sometime until now I decided to read it and let me just say my money was well spent. I loved it from the beginning. Everything just zinged for me - it was just perfect in my eyes so much so that I hungered for more. I loved Jessica and Richard together. He harden himself and his heart off from everyone due to his cruel childhood but slowly he opens his heart to Jessica - letting her love him and he love her in return. I loved how when he wanted Jessica to do something or to listen to him, he would always bring up that he was wearing the ring which made him the Lord and the 'boss' of the chambers. And his jealousy that he displayed over her when his friend Kendrick played him a visit was priceless, making him become bossy, possessive, and grumpy. I am so glad that this story had a happy ending and that it swayed the way I was hoping for. I will definitely be checking out more of Lynn Kurland's books that's for sure.

And, that was the case early in this book. Jessica starts out by not even being able to bring herself to voice a protest when her unwanted boyfriend, who she only used for a trip to England, acts obnoxiously, steals her food, carries her upside down, etc. Nope, not one word to him to "stop it". Then, after she has time traveled back to the Middle Ages and is at the complete mercy of the hero, does she even use good sense? No, she deliberately baits him about things like how his serfs are treated and steals his horse upon multiple occasions, things that could have gotten her executed. Eventually she becomes more realistic, but the first two incarnations of her personality were abysmal. That said, I still love Lynn Kurland, so...Also, this is the first paperback I've read in ages since 95% of my purchases are now in Kindle format. The font size and spacing in this book were PAINFUL. I don't think the size is above a 6pt, and likely it was a 4 pt. Just too tiny to bear.Finally, it was funny to see someone compare this to Diana Gabaldon's time travel books as though Gabaldon created the genre. But, a book that this even more closely resembles is by Jude Deveraux, A Knight In Shining Armor, which predates both Diana Gabaldon and Lynn Kurland. Simply put, there have been more, and earlier, time travel romances than some have read, and that is not a bad thing for any of the authors.

I loved this time travel. I've read a view of Lynn Kurland's books. Her book titled "This is all I Ask" has been one of my top romance books ever read and I've been reading romance for 40 years.I loved "The More I See You', and what I loved best was the humor and the interaction between Jessica and Richard. Page by page you can see Richard starting to go from a grumpy so and so to someone who can finally let a little love into his life. The way that Jessica does it was so funny and sweet. She didn't let his grouchiness get in her way which I thought was fabulous.Right now I am going back through the list of her books for the De Piaget's and the MacLeods to see if I can fine some more to read. I promise you won't be sorry. If you are a time travel lover you will love this book. It's got humor, love, adventure, the bad guy and two fabulous main characters.

Kurlands early works now available for Kindle!I love Lynn Kurland romances.Give me a haunted castle with a good looking ghost, a feisty lass who visits the Highlands, and secondary ghosts that hang around the castle to help the couple find their way to true love. Throw in Ms. Kurland's sense of humor, and you have a wonderful afternoon to look forward to with this book.When I first discovered this author, many of her books were not available on the digital format. Because of poor eyesight, I missed out on all of those treasures. I was thrilled to find that many of her earlier books are now available for Kindle!A Kurland romance is like a potato chip....you can't just enjoy one! You have to reach for another as soon as you finish the first!

I was chuckling out loud several times during this book at witty or unexpected conversations. I enjoyed the romantic story of the gruff never smiling man whose heart was slowly being warmed by a woman from the future. His natural reaction to women was that they were not equal to men and could not do things that men did. He was incredulous that she could not sew or cook. Then he was in awe of her archtectural abilities toward the design and building of his castle. I don't want to give away the ending but I liked it and a question I will phrase related to the ending is what would one bring back from the future if they could? I expect that I'll continue to think about things from the book from time to time. Nice story.Sexual content: mild. Setting: 1999 and 1260 England. Copyright: 1999. Genre: historical romance and time travel.For a listing of my reviews of other Lynn Kurland books, see my 2 star review of "Dreams of Stardust" posted on 6/23/08.

Like all the rest of the Time Travel Stories in this Sedaris ,Like all the rest of the Time Travel Books in these Stories , this one was no disappointment at all. I very much liked the Hero/Heroin and all the adventure and the visits from some of the delightful Characters from the other Books. I hope there will be no end to these Stories , I so very much enjoy them.this one was no disappointment. I enjoyed every Page I read. I loved all the Characters the Hero/Heroin and enjoyed very much the visits of Characters from the past Books. It was a enjoyable read.

its okay to read if you have nothing better to read.Many illogical sequences which you cannot place anywhere in the story.However the end of the novel makes up for the poor sag of the story in middle.You can read it if you believe or like time travel stories

I accidentally gave my copy of this book away. I enjoy all of Lynn Kurland's books, but this one is my favorite. Re ordered it. You will love this story.
