A review by raye_loves_reading
A Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught

4.0

I've read this book so many times I could probably recite much of it without prompting.

When we read it for our Romance isn't Dead podcast, one of the biggest criticisms was the name of the lead character, Jennifer Merrick.

Based in the Scottish Highlands, during a rather dark time in their history, it is very much focused on empire building and manipulations.

Jennifer's family is bloody awful, and Royce's family is very small. She's desperate to get approval from her father and show that she's not the evil that her stepbrother tries to show her up to be. But that doesn't mean she's going to just accept her fate.

To find out more about what we felt about the prequel to probably McNaught's most famous book "Whitney, My Love" you can listen to our episode here: https://romanceisntdead.podbean.com/e/episode-20-this-is-not-whitney-my-love/
