Veils of Time Macleod Family Lynn Kurland 9780425169704 Books
I bought this book simply for the Lynn Kurland story, "And the Groom Wore Tulle." That one was really funny; I enjoyed it, although as in most of these 'omnibus' or 'anthology' books, the individual stories are too short to give you a lot of character or relationship development, which is what Kurland really excels at. She did not really have the opportunity to do this because the story had to be so short. But it was pretty good anyway.The second story, "The Con and the Crusader" (I still don't understand the 'crusader' part of this title) was also pretty ok. It was a nice story where the hero, Jack, reforms his con-artist self for the woman he loves.
"A Bride Most Common," the third story, made me laugh over and over again...but not in a good way. I KNOW these are time-travel stories, but for some reason, the first two seemed more believable, and the third just seemed sooo ridiculous. I think it was because in the first 2 stories, people were very slow to believe the time-travel thing; it was difficult for them to accept. However, A Bride Most Common has the heroine traveling back in time into someone else's body...kind of like that show Quantum Leap...and the heroine and the people who send her back in time calmly accept this process, like it is perfectly normal to have some kind of a crazy machine to send you into someone's dead body, just as they are dying. It just seemed silly and far-fetched...probably because they kept mentioning the problems..."wait, so I am going into some decomposed dead body?" "Oh no, we've figured out how to go back in time into a body at the EXACT MOMENT of death." I think I'd rather completely believe in magic than a combination of "science" and magic, if that makes sense. The relationship was not developed at all, and I still don't really understand the reason she had to go back in time to 'save the world.' Maybe I just didn't read it carefully...but I failed to see how stopping a shipment could: make sure the hero's brother didn't die in battle; cause less pollution in the future, thereby saving some owls (Is Al Gore the ghostwriter of this story?). And everything wrapped itself up way too neatly. The guy who hated her saved the day at the end, apologized in a way no man would, and did the job that he was supposed to in the beginning...which was the reason she got sent into the past to begin with. Then it turns out she isn't ALLOWED to come back to the future, conveniently making her choice for her, so that she can stay with the hero. No idea why she wants to; he has no personality. But they are two of a kind in that respect, so maybe that's the draw he has.
Conyn's Bride - This story, to me, seems like it should feature a very silly bodice-ripper cover and be sold in supermarkets. The romance was so over the top and melodramatic, I couldn't even finish it (which is saying something; it's rare that I don't finish a book, even if I don't like it). I just skimmed through it. The author didn't really need to develop a relationship, because the lovers apparently already knew each other...she just didn't remember for most of the story. How convenient. I am not sure why everyone else really liked this story. Maybe it's just me that thought it was ridiculous.
My opinion is that the first story is worth a read, and maybe the second. The third and fourth...well, go play mindless video games or something, it's a better use of your time.

Purchased this for the Lynn Kurland story. This tells the story of Ian McLeods journey to the future and how he copes. It is funny and I wished it had been a bit longer. Ian is featured in many other Kurland sagas and this filled in the mystery of how he got to the future.
I was seeking to complete reading the whole series and this book was a welcome addition in that quest! Love books and their sellers network! Haven't had a bad deal yet!
I wish this was longer. You want more by the time you finish. Each story is amazing. I would like to be able to travel thru time, to a different time period. The time circles make wonderful sense.
Lynn Kurland has a great theme - with these Time Travel books. They are always different, yet hard to put down until you are finished. It is nice that some of the other people in her books make appearances in this one.
I loved Lynn Kurland story in this book, couldn't get into the other stores much, but that could have just been me as I'm into time travel and Scottish historical right now. Romance for me has to have more then boy meets girl, boy looses girl, boy gets girl or vis versa. An adventure, or a myster...those who like the other author's in this group will more then likely like there stories.
I have been looking for missing Lynn Kurland books Veils of Timeto fill in the series of the De Piagets and the MC Cloud clans stories. I have enjoyed reading her books and can not find them in my city book sellers, new or second hand. having the issues I want and offering various sellers with the different prices was a bonus. I selected the sellers, compleated the sale and received the books in the mail in a very satisfactory time period. I can now read the series in order and enjoy Ms. Kurlands writings, again and again.
Read it last night 2/24/17 and loved it greatly. The story was one that touch my heart and must read it love Scotland romances the way I do.
