Wildest Dreams by Kristen Ashley

Wildest Dreams (Fantasyland, #1)

by Kristen Ashley

Seoafin “Finnie” Wilde was taught by her parents that every breath was a treasure and to seek every adventure she could find. And she learns this lesson the hard way when they perish in a plane crash. But she never forgets and when she discovers there is a parallel universe where every person has a twin, she finds a witch who can send her there so she can have the adventure of a lifetime.

But upon arrival in the Winter Wonderland of Lunwyn, she realizes she’s been played by her twin and finds herself walking down the aisle to be wed to The Drakkar.

Thrown into inauspicious circumstances, with years of practice, Finnie bests the challenges and digs into her adventure. But as Frey Drakkar discovers the woman who is his new wife is not Princess Sjofn, a woman he dislikes but instead, his Finnie, a free-spirit with a thirst for venture just like him, without her knowledge he orders his new bride bound to his frozen world, everlasting.

But at the same time Frey plunges Finnie into a web of political intrigue that includes assassination plots, poison, magic, mystery and… dragons.

IT’S FRIDAY NIGHT…PARTY NIGHT!!!

I don’t know what I’m more excited about…finishing and LOVING Wildest Dreams or starting The Golden Dynasty. They’re both awesome but doing them one straight after the other WITH a glass of champers in my hand and it’s FRIDAY makes it monumentally AWESOMER!!

Now, before I go on with this review, it’s going to be extremely spoilerish because I feel the need…the need to dish.

(If you don’t want to read this spoilerish review, exit stage right)

OMG!!

I think I need my hubby to start calling me *My Wee Sassy/Stacey* (he can choose, I’m not going to be fussy). I need to be a wee lassy at least once in my life. I’m 5ft 6.5 and it would be lovely to be called wee. I know, I’m not extremely tall, but I’m tall enough to still tower over a few blokes in my time. Anyways…I wouldn’t mind being a wee lassy for awhile.

Funny thing…today, hubby and I had a bit of a bust-up (in my world a bust-up is considered me pulling a cranky face and telling him I’m not happy…no violence, I promise) and I left him to go to work a wee bit cranky. That lasted about 10 minutes. See, I couldn’t get it out of my head that Finnie had had a bust-up with Frey and then he was arrowed down (you know, shot down but with arrows) right in front of her eyes. Bloody hell, how bad would I have felt if my last words to hubby were…*Yeah, have a great day* (with extreme sarcasm)? Those 10 minutes were HELL… I caved and sent him a mushy gushy text telling him I loved him. And, because he’s AWESOME…I got a mushy gushy one back and we’re all good.

Seriously…I absolutely LOVE Wildest Dreams. Who wouldn’t, mind you? Considering our hero is the Frey Drakkar. Sure, for about 4.5 minutes throughout the story I’m slightly peeved at him, but he more than makes up for his douchewaffle ways. Seriously, Frey, Viola…what the bloody hell were you THINKING? Lucky he does the *My Love* and the *My Wee Finnie* thing a lot.

Again…ANYWAYS…Finnie, oh how I wish I could be as strong and brave as dear old Finnie. I’m not sure I could step into another world and handle it as well as she did. ESPECIALLY, considering she had to boil her own water AND she had to clean. There is no way I’d be a happy camper if I’d just forked out a million dollars for THAT kind of adventure.

I think I’m rambling…ANYWAYS…I loved the excitement, mystery and FREY!! Yep, he’s one heck of a man. I know, I know, he does some REALLY dodgy things but come on, we’re stepping into his world and his rules apply, we’ve got to give him a little leeway for that. BUT Frey…DRAGONS…ELVES…BOSSY…SEXY…TIGHT BRITCHES…GROWLY…HOLY MOLY…Hubby, how do you feel about be calling Frey for awhile???

I’m sorry readers, this was a bit of a mess. Blame it on the champers…or that it’s Friday Night Party Night…or that KA’S A FRICKIN LEGEND!!!

I’ll probably regret this slightly tipsy review in the morning…BUT FELLOW FANTASYLAND FANS UNITE!!!!!

**********

The audio was Awesome and Brilliant

I knew the story was brilliant already but the audio just enhanced the experience. Onwards...it's time to visit The Golden Dynasty.
