One Magic Moment book review


One Magic Moment is the latest offering by Lynn Kurland and it has become one of my favourites.

I've been a fan of Lynn Kurland and her novels since 2 years ago, when I have the good fortune of reading one of her books. I love her writing style, the witty dialogue, the swoon-worthy heroes and their lady loves, the clean romance, the wonderful backdrops in medieval and modern England, etc.

With so many novels under her belt and the de Piaget genealogy chart getting more complex, I can only hope she will keep writing and keep her readers entertained. The de Piaget family is definitely one of the highlights of her whole fantasy world.

Time-travel romance with medieval lords meeting modern-day ladies and vice-versa is one of my favourite themes, as with paranormal romance. Unfortunately, the bulk of this genre do not quite suit my tastes.

As discussed before in one of my reviews, while I like how the protagonists have their happily-ever afters in whatever time period, I find myself not liking those stories where the females decided to drop their lives in the present and go back in time with their love as much as those who stay in the present.

Perhaps, it's because I cannot imagine myself doing that, regardless of everything. I like the present and the modern too much to give them up.

That's why One Magic Moment is one of my favourite novels, Tess and John de Piaget stayed in the present, or Future as they called it. He time-travelled to the Future and meet Tess a few years after. Even though through some conspiracy which have them time-travelled back to the 13th century, John is willing to give up his life there and return to the Future, partly because he has grown accustomed to the perks of modern amenities.

Ahhh, this is definitely a most satisfying story I have read and there will be plenty more to come next year.
