Dream of Me by Josie Litton

This is the story of a Viking warlord and a sheltered Saxon lady. Josie Litton's writing is very like poetry, it is lovely, satisfying, and stirring. The feared Viking offered peace to the Saxon lord and even offered to marry his sister to bring a lasting peace between their peoples. The answer he was given was demeaning and insulting so he decides to force the Saxon to hear him by kidnapping the lady. That is how the story begins. Start this book on a Friday, you will not be able to put it down. It follows the Lady Cymbra on a sometimes frustrating, sometimes joyful, and sometimes dangerous adventure where she comes into her own and finds the true meaning of love. Happy reading with any of Josie Litton's beautiful stories, my favorite of all is "Dream Island," but since "Dream of Me," followed by "Believe in Me," are grouped together in a two volume novel, and are her first books; start there.
