Much Ado In the Moonlight
Now, as sweet as My Heart Stood Still is, we know the next one won't be the same just based on who the characters are. We first met the hero and heroine in Thomas's book and their spiky natures promise there won't be a book of complete devotion from these two.Victoria McKinnon is a hard edged theater producer. She is suffering from some serious middle child syndrome. The second in the McKinnon family, she has been invited to her older brother and her younger sister's weddings, but darned if she can remember either one. She was too busy, too focused, too jet lagged, and, to be honest, too self absorbed to care too much about where she was or what she was doing. Despite that, you have to love Victoria. Her hard edges are a nice change of pace in a Kurland. In her own book, she is no less a force of nature than she was in her brother's. But whereas in Thomas's book, you saw her through the eyes of others, in her own, you see her thoughts behind her actions and you can't help but love her. She is driven by her own expectations of herself and, just as much as her siblings, she is just looking for her own slice of happiness. While her siblings want the love and devotion, Victoria is just looking to be able to trust those around her. Not trusting is a lesson she learned the hard way and it gave her the edges she has.
