4.0 out of 5 stars Dream of Me......, February 9, 2003

This review is from: 2 books in 1: Dream of Me and Believe in Me (Mass Market Paperback)

Ive only read the first installment of this trilogy thus far, but I have to say that I enjoyed it immensely. Wolf was soooo sexy, and I liked the fact that although Cymbra was delicate, she wasnt helpless. The lovescenes were steamy and frequent, but what really stood out was when I was able to just sit back and enjoy watching them get to know one another.The food-fighting scene was one that I will never forget..one of the funniest Ive read in a long while. I would highly recommend reading this..I look forward to diving into Believe in Me next...

5.0 out of 5 stars 2 great stories for the price of 1, October 2, 2001

By

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 2 books in 1: Dream of Me and Believe in Me (Mass Market Paperback)

DREAM OF ME. The Vikings and the Saxons are at war as they have been for centuries. Viking leader Wolf Hakonson believes that the "Ice Princess" Lady Cymbra is the cause of the latest conflict. Leading his men on a raid of her castle, Wolf captures Cymbra, but quickly she melts his heart with her passion as love sets in between the duo.

BELIEVE IN ME. As a follow-up to the beginnings of peace started by the marriage of his sister Cymbra to the Viking, Lord Hawk weds Norsewoman Lady Krysta. He knows he must do whatever it takes to make this marriage of state work if he is to build on his sibling's success and further the cause of peace. However, the Saxon and the Viking never anticipated love to enter their relationship.

Readers gain two full historical novels for the price of one book as Bantam showcases the debut of Josie Litton's strong new sub-genre voice. Both books contain strong characters and resplendent details distinguishing the era when the Vikings and Saxons constantly fought one another. The story lines are well written, never slowing down with only one problem. If readers are as selfish and hedonistic as this reviewer, they would have wanted a triplet rather than wait a whole month for book three.

4.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for Dream 4 for Believe, August 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: 2 books in 1: Dream of Me and Believe in Me (Mass Market Paperback)

I thoroughly enjoyed DREAM OF ME. I listened to it on tape and played it everywhere I went on my walkman. Wolf kidnaps the beautiful Cymbra for the sake of peace among the Saxon and Norse clans. He had originally requested she accept him but when his letter was rejected he took her by force. One writer said that they were too perfect and nothing to write home about. I beg to differ. Sometimes some stories are so incredibly full of strife that they get so exasperating. This story reminds me of the many written by Julie Garwood... my favorite all time historical writer. As for BELIEVE IN ME... I did enjoy the characters although I wasn't thrilled about Krysta's beliefs that she was not a normal human being. I have a hard time reading about what in my mind is fantasy. Thorgold and Raven's presence would have been fine if they weren't magical. I'm not into magic... that's fake. Nevertheless, Hawks sister Daria does things in the first book but all is discovered in the second. I have just started reading Come Back to Me and have no doubt it will be another winner.. provided there aren't any wizards.
