Product Description
Product Description
The legendary island nation of Akora has shunned outsiders for centuries, but fate is about to deliver a young Englishwoman into the arms of its prince–and sweep them both into a daring love that knows no boundaries....
DREAM ISLAND
Lady Joanna Hawkforte spent her childhood reading about the wondrous beauty of Akora. But now the country of her dreams has become a symbol of her worst nightmare. Nine months ago her brother embarked on a dangerous journey to find the mythic land–and Joanna never heard from him again. Believing he is being held captive in Akora, she is compelled to devise a desperate plan to find him....
The son of an English lord and an Akoran princess, Lord Alex Darcourt has spent months in England on a secret mission. Now he has set sail back to the land of his youth–and to an unknown fate in a nation fraught with unrest. But Alex’s discovery of a secret stowaway has thrown his voyage into turmoil. A bold, honey-haired beauty, Joanna has no idea of the danger she’s placed herself in. As Alex’s ship enters its home port, he hopes he can protect her in a world where she is unwelcome. But his greatest challenge proves to be protecting Joanna from his own smoldering desire–a forbidden passion that could put both their lives in jeopardy.

I loved this book! This is a story of Lady Joanna Hawkeforte, who has read about and dreamed of the secret Kingdom of Akora since she was a child. Then one day her brother leaves to fine it but does not return. Enter Lord Alex Darcourt, the son of an English Nobleman and an Akoran Princess (this therefore makes him Akoran Royality).
Being determined to find her brother, Joanna stows away on Lord Alex's ship, heading for Akora.
This book really captured my imagination, and was so different from other regency novels I have read. This author managed to combine, mystery and fictional places, with politics and the usual social events of the era.
I adored Alex as a hero and the romance in this book was extremely well written, with believable characters and interesting facts of the time. This book kept me hooked, I couldn't put it down! I can't wait to read the next one in the trilogy. I really recommend this book to anyone who likes a good historical romance with a little mystery.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT...

Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you haven't discovered Josie Litton, do so immediately. She is a writer who blends adult romance, suspense, and historical detail with a style that will keep you reading into the night. For all you Garfield fans who have been left hungering for the author to return to the historical genre, try Josie Litton. And check out her Viking-Saxon trilogy. The heroes are strong, intelligent and fair, and the heroines are spirited (and each has something just a little "different" about them)and practical.
I can't wait for the next installment in this series.

Breathtaking

I have read a lot of romance but by far I find Josie Litton the best author. Her books never fail to bring you into the story and completly saturate your every thought. This story, while not on the same line as her previous books was every bit what I had hoped it would be. I could not put it down, I recommend this book for the regency romantics while her previous books I would recommend for the historical romantic. All are excellent reading!

Interesting beginning to a new trilogy
31 July 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The first thing I appreciated about this book was Ms.Litton's departure from the traditional Regency romance setting of London. Instead the majority of this novel takes place on the ficticious island nation of Akora.
Lady Joanna is looking for her brother Royce who has disappeared on his voyage to Akora. Because Joanna is determined to find him she stows away aboard the ship of an Akoran prince, Alex, and arrives on the island amid controversy and speculation. It would be difficult to say more without giving away the happy ending.
What's nice about this story is that although political undertones and the typical romance elements exist throughout, the characters of Joanna and Alex are well written, completely believable, and likeable as well. I'm looking forward to the next book in the trilogy.
