LOVE JOSIE LITTON!

You cannot go wrong with any book she writes! I own most of her books and am in the process of getting the last two!

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED THIS BOOK!

This is the best romance novel I've read since Kathleen E Woodiwiss' "Shanna" (which if you haven't read, you should!). I haven't yet read any of Josie Litton's other books, but I really enjoyed this one. I've read it three times, so far.I was a bit wary initially of a book with a "mythic kingdom" but the author really brought Akora alive to the reader. The "another time, another place" aspect was fun and the customs and court intrigue on Akora were interesting.And Alex - half English, half Akoran - Lord Darcourt in England; Prince Alexandros on Akora was absolutely fabulous! I really loved his character. Sweet, charming, arrogant, smart, strong, sexy - mmm, mmm!Lady Joanna Hawkforte was fun and feisty. Stowing away on a ship bound to the foreign land of Akora which doesn't welcome strangers. Her brother went there months before and has yet to return, and Lady Joanna, unable to get any assistance to find her brother from either the British government or from the arrogant Lord Darcourt, sets off to find him herself. She is discovered in the hold of the Akoran ship by Alex and he allows her to remain on board and go on to Akora. He's not convinced that her brother is there, but he doesn't dismiss the idea either. He tells Joanna that he will look into her brother's situation once they arrive in Akora.From there, romance, adventure, intrigue and assasination attempts ensue. The action moves between England and Akora. We meet Alex's half-brother Atreus, leader of Akora, Alex's sister Kassandra and Joanna's brother Royce setting up the characters for a trilogy of "Akora" stories. Lots of fun, a sweet love story, characters that you can care about and wild adventures. What more can you ask for?

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!

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT...

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.

Fantasic read

I've read all of her books so far, and I have to say, this is the best. The other ones are fantastic, but this one has such attention to detail, that Litton's talent really shines through. Definitely worth buying this one new.
