A review by jduff86
A Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught
2.0
Since I’m a sucker for stories involving enemies-turned-lovers, I enjoyed the battle of wills between Jenny and Royce, especially their banter. The dialogue was one of the highlights of the book for me. There were some steamy scenes too that were superbly written, unlike many romance books where I feel like the love scenes are completely over the top and embellished.
That said, the story dragged a lot in certain areas and felt formulaic. The first half of the book was more compelling than the second part. Both the hero and the heroine felt cliché to me, the character development was lacking, and it was your typical happily ever after ending. Not for me, but if you love traditional romances, it checks all the boxes.
