Third in the 3 part series. Well written story about how the Dragon found his mate.
Fantastic. Fantastic. Fantastic. This book is amazingly wonderful. This book does not suffer from sequelitis. Out of all the books in the trilogy, this is my favorite. It's just as good as the first book, Dream of me, but Dragon makes it my favorite. DO NOT MISS THIS TRILOGY! Sensual, Mystery, Tension, Togetherness, Great Character Development, Great Secondary Characters, who could possibly want anything more?
Good pseudo-historical romance with traditional enemies of Norseman and Saxon.
From back cover:
After centuries of conflict, a peace treaty has finally been drawn between the warring Saxons and Norse largely due to the wisdom and bravery of the legendary Viking leader Wolf Hakonson and the noble warrior Lord Hawk.
Hawk and Wolf each married women from warring clans to unite the Saxons and Norse. But for all its blessings, the promise of peace will remain fragile unless it can be sealed forever by a third and final marriage between these two proud clans....
The most feared Viking to come out of the Northlands in a generation or more, Dragon Hakonson, brother to Lord Wolf and friend to Lord Hawk, hopes to steal a few days away by himself before entering into an arranged marriage with a Saxon bride. But instead of tranquillity, Dragon finds intrigue and passion when he has a chance encounter with a beguiling beauty disguised in boys garb. It is clear that the fiery-haired, fiercely willed Rycca is running away from something ... or someone.
Dragon is determined to uncover Ryccas reasons for escape and see her safely to her destination. Yet rather than surrender herself to Dragons care, Rycca dares to defy him, disarm him, and even enchant him. For Rycca has a secret gift that Dragon cannot see. Stalked by the tragic past, struggling to fulfill the promise of peace, only when it is too late does Dragon discover the truth: that the temptress who has stolen his heart is none other than the woman destined to become his reluctant bride....

Third in a series, follows Dream of Me, Believe in Me
Loved it!
A couple who facing an arranged marriage meet without knowing who the other is.
Very good plot and well written.
Absolutly wonderful! One of the best books ever!!! Third part of a trilogy. The first two are "Dream of Me" and "Believe in Me" I have them posted on my bookshelf. It is both the first two novels in one book. You should definantly read them in order though!
Third installment in the "Dream of Me" trilogy. Viking story.
In late-ninth-century England, King Alfred is on the throne, and an uneasy peace reigns between the Norse and Saxons thanks to his efforts. What better way to ensure this alliance than to forge marriages between the two?
I liked these series of books, but because they don't leave me yearning for a re-read, am trading them off.
Part of the Akora Series, excellent reading!
Last in the Viking trilogy. I loved this trilogy.
