I had to write a review since the other review was by someone who states she didn't even read the book. I got this book from my grandmother, then my mom, when I was 16 years old. I am now 31 and have been reading this book once a year since I got it. Ellen Tanner Marsh wraps a tale so well that you live the story, not just read it. I absolutely love this book. It is deeply romantic and deeply informative. I feel like I've been to England and France. I feel like I've seen the outcomes of battles, splendor of the ballrooms, the staleness of the two room shack. This book is well worth the read and I hope other people don't miss this historical romance!

"In My Wildest Dreams" portrays Rowena de Bernard, an exile from France after Napoleon's conquests, and Captain Tarquin York (Quinn for short), a British cavalry officer falling in love as he escorts her back to France. Of course there are French armies trying to kill them, so as they go through difficult times together, they are brought closer until they fall in love.
To be honest, I got all that info from the back of the book. I couldn't get past page 67. I read Ellen Tanner Marsh's "The Enchanted Prince" which I loved very much, so I made an effort to get this out of print book. Unlike "The Enchanted Prince," I found the characters unremarkable and boring. Thus, despite all the "exciting" things happening around them, I didn't care.
Don't waste your money...instead, check out "The Enchanted Prince," which was sweet and loosely based upon the fairy tale, "The Frog Prince."
