I am a huge fan of Kristen Ashley`s writing and appreciate that she writes many different types of books.  In "Wildest Dreams" Ashley creates a unique parallel world with strong mythological influences.  Sadly, the 30 year old heroine has the vocabularly of a twelve year old Rock Chick.In her new world Finnie/Seoafin is a princess.  The language of all the other characters is a formal English. What could have been an excellent story gets interrupted each time Finnie opens her mouth."It was the bomb.How cool!The cool as s*** elves are waiting.Awesome!If you feel like company on this gig you`ve got going, um... I`m available.That sucks."It`s hard to get into a story when every time the heroine speaks, the reader wants to tell her to shut up or grow up.Frey Drakkar could have been a very romantic hero. Having left the Drakkar family at thirteen to make his own way, he is the ultimate adventurer and leader of both the dragon and elf realms.  There are glimpses of his romantic side, "She waits for me at windows and buys me dragons.  There are reasons we walks this earth.  I am coming to realize mine."  It would have been great to have less silliness from Finnie, "Let`s go skating!!!" and more focus on Frey.
