Lynn Kurland is a gifted author of a series that is comprised of both time-travel and historical novels. Her heroes and heroines are believable, unique, and have their own personal hurdles. Lianna and Jason, both peripheral characters in other novels, are adorable in Kiss in the Shadows. Poor Lianna is shunned at court through no fault of her own, and Jason's reputation as the apprentice of a rumored warlock precedes him. Both characters have to deal with their own troubles before they deal with their feelings for each other. Lianna may come across as a startled rabbit at first, but she shows her spine by the end of this novella. One of Kurland's most colorful heroes, Kendrick de Piaget, fills out this novel with his constant brotherly jabs and charm. I'm only sorry this novella isn't longer!
