All for You by Lynn Kurland
5.0
All for You is Lynn Kurland's latest romance novel. I think that she is the very best romance writer, and I appreciate that her books are PG. Her stories are always so much fun, and she injects humor and witty dialogue in all of her books.
All for You is Stephen de Piaget and Peaches Alexander's story. I have never been a big fan of Stephen's until this book. He might be one of my very favorite de Piaget men of all time! He is a Cambridge history professor and the future Earl of Artane. I always thought that he was a bit too nerdy, but little did I know that he has been training with Ian McLeod in Scotland. Ian's medieval bootcamp has prepared Stephen for the adventure of his life: He must rescue Peaches who accidentally slips through a time gate.
Peaches' pride will not admit she has feelings for Stephen. She fears that he is above her station, and he will never take her seriously. There is definitely a Pride and Prejudice feel to this story, and I love all the references to the book. Unbeknownst to Peaches, Stephen had fallen for her when they first met. One of the sweetest things about the book is why he loves her. His values are admirable, and I love how Lynn Kurland features what is truly important in life through her stories.
The only negatives about the book is that two critical scenes are told in flashback, and the accounts are rather short. I would have liked to have read them, and I would not have minded reading a longer book. The plot never stalled, and Peaches and Stephen (especially Stephen) were fully developed. All for You is one of her best in my opinion.
