Fresh Fiction Review

ONE MAGIC MOMENT
Lynn Kurland

Reviewed by Vicky Gilpin
Posted May 20, 2011

Paranormal Romance

Lynn Kurland's novels are just ridiculously good. They're like popcorn, but more substantial. Lynn Kurland's novels are like a pan of warm, gooey, chocolate brownies. ONE MAGIC MOMENT is no different. For readers who are already fans of her excellent romances depicting various time- traveling characters and those who fall in love with them, ONE MAGIC MOMENT is another funny and lovely work that incorporates or alludes to some of the characters from previous works.

For novices in the Kurlandsphere, ONE MAGIC MOMENT is as excellent an introduction as any other: Tess Alexander lives in a restored castle, but she can't really enjoy it because she is still dealing with never seeing her sister again because her sister has traveled back in time to stay with the man she loves. However, when she meets--- and keeps meeting---John de Piaget, she's pretty sure she's meeting someone like her brother-in-law, another refugee from the past. As they try to sort out their mutual attraction to, and irritation with, each other, their futures are being threatened.

A solid, well-written tale, ONE MAGIC MOMENT is a wonderful book and might encourage one to read all of the rest of Kurland's works. She keeps her works new by continuing to infuse each with humor as well as sincerity.

SUMMARY

Medieval studies scholar Tess Alexander is thrilled for the chance to live in a medieval castle. But then a trip to the village brings her face-to-face with the owner of the local garage, who looks a great deal like the man who married her sister...800 years in the past. She's determined to remain objective about magic and destiny, but she can't help wondering about that mysterious, sword-wielding mechanic.
