    " This is a historical romance that takes place in China during the time of the emperors. The main character is a princess and she has fallen for a barbarian..... Interesting premise, the book was okay. I thought I would like it more than I did. "

    " I loved the setting, but everything else felt formulaic. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Alixendra | 1/1/2014

    " I absolutely loved this book and how it was so completely different from any other historical fiction/romance story I had ever read before. Rather than being set in London, England or somewhere in Scotland during the Bruce era or the Victorian age, etc it was set in 789 AD...the Tang Dynasty! Ai Li (the heroine) is trying to warn her father that the man she had been promised to is actually his enemy, and is forming his own army. on her journey she meets our beloved and handsome hero who is a white man outsider left over from the previous wars and battles to stop the rebellions. "

    " This is a nice historical romance that is based in China. Not a setting that you see alot in the genre. A nice little book. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Beth | 12/19/2013

    " not bad, but I felt that I could have used a glossary to understand all the Chinese words used. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Gwynlyn | 5/25/2013

    " A fabulous debut with a more than satisfying ending. It's easy to see why this book won a Golden Heart in 2009. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Kerr | 4/24/2013

    " this had more of a plot than I expected, but I'm not sure if it was just meant to drag it all out and it didn't seem to have much of an ending. Still, I enjoyed it and would like to read the one about her grandmother. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Mary | 2/10/2013

    " I wanted to like this one a lot more. I never got a handle on Ryam. I couldn't even figure out where he was FROM, let alone why he wanted to be with Ai LI, other than he had the hots for her. Okay, okay, he wanted a home, yadda yadda, but it didn't strike me as being real or deep. "
