"Judith McNaught has written this book in the 1400s, which is the earliest of the ones I've read. This story has some very welcome departures from the formula she has. It is not just about relationships in this book -- it's about the power struggle between England and Scotland, with two unfortunate girls caught in the middle."
"I loved this plot and was sad when the book ended. I wanted more of Royce and Jenny. The series of events that came about tugged at a lot of emotions. This book does have a bit of sensuality and potty talk but it's easy for me to skip and overlook so it didn't bother me just a warning for those that can't. Loved it couldn't put it down."
"A Kingdom of Dreams holds a very special place in my heart. Once again, author Judith McNaught didn't fail to deliver and spellbound me with this very wonderful love story.
It's one of the best medieval historical romance stories I've read in a long time. A Kingdom of Dreams brought out a whirlwind of emotions from me. Sometimes, it made me laugh, it made me cry, squirm, and even jump out at some twists along the story.Once you start reading it, the characters become so real that by the end, you'll find yourself saying, I want more!
Royce Westmoreland is a breathtakingly wonderful hero. In most romance novels,the heroes don't realize the meaningfulness and the importance of the 'love' that the heroines willingly offer to them until the very end of the novel. But Royce was able to realized how much he loved Jenny and he hold onto it and cherished Jenny's uniqueness, her wit, subtle naivete without being worried about how love can make a man vulnerable.
Jennifer Merrick is a heroine that we could all relate to. She's humble, stands-up for what she she believes in, loyal, albeit with a quick temper. She also had her own insecurities and throughout her life, she had been struggling to appease her father and gain his approval. Even though the clan had been vocal against her being the head in the even that her father dies, Jenny was still determined to prove her clansmen wrong. Even with everyone against her, Jenny loved her family and she was faithful to her clan.
I think that one of the most remarkable aspects of this book was that I was able to see how Royce and Jenny's relationship developed. It was a long journey but with it came very important revelations and twists that strengthen the plot line and the characters of the hero and the heroine. I saw how they were able to slowly reveal their true self to one another and upon that discovery, made them trust and fall in love with each other. I believe that they know each other more than they know themselves. It became apparent throughout the story that Jenny and Royce understood one another because of the similarities in their situation. With Jenny, Royce need not be the arrogant, stubborn, and gruff Duke of Claymore and be his true self and Jenny could be herself and be vulnerable without being ridiculed by him.
If I had to choose my most memorable part in the story, it was the scene after Royce and Jenny made love the first time. It was then that Jenny and Royce bared out their soul to one another. It made me cry while reading the dialogue that transpired between the two and as you imagine that scene in your head, you can definitely say that 'This is true love!'. The imagery and the dialogue that transpired between Jenny and Royce took me by surprise and left me breathless. This book is definitely worth every penny that you'll pay for it. A Kingdom of Dreams will always be a personal keeper."
"This is the first Judith McNaught novel I have read. I chose this one because the storyline sounded interesting. I enjoyed the book very much - I did really like the heroine and the medieval setting for the story made this a great escape. So much happened in the plotline; however, I did feel that maybe too much happened for the length of the novel. I think that the couple went through too much in too short of a timeline and there were places where I expected more plot development but it wasn't there. I think this would have been a much more memorable read if it were a deeper, longer story. Although perhaps this is unfair because I am in my mind comparing this book to Outlander and it doesn't quite measure up when compared to Outlander. But again, this was a really quick read a very enjoyable romance. I am only slightly disappointed because I think it had the potential to be grand. I will definitely read another one of her novels."
