"I really liked this book. I loved the characters, with the exception of the grandfather, who was just plain evil. I really didn't like how everyone just accepted what he did like they had no choice. That brought the rating down a bit but still an enjoyable read."
— Crystal (4 out of 5 stars)

— Michelle, 1/1/2014 -
" Not her best, wasn't convinced that the love story got the attention it deserved. Plot over-reached and as a result was never fully developed. She did, however, capture an honest portrayal Alyssa, the character who grew up torn between being half-Chinese and half-American. Shades of Amy Tan and the Joy Luck Club, but again, underdeveloped plot. "

" I read this on vacation. It's a good vacation mystery. It kept me engaged, but, be warned, the love story is really cheesy. "
— Lauren, 10/31/2013 -
" Interesting story about an Chinese antique found in an attic and the mystery of how it got there involving three third generation people and how the families are "related". "

— Jen, 9/30/2013 -
" Easy read with romance, mystery, suspense and intimate frustruation. Just the way I like it. I have read other books by her and I have enjoyed them. I had the culprits figured all wrong. That for me, makes it a good read. "

" More of a 3.5 - it was an enjoyable easy read if slightly predictable. "
— Kirstie, 5/2/2012 -
" After The Swerve, I wanted something light. I didn't realize this was kind of a mystery/romance combo, so the romance part was super cheesy, but it was still an OK quick fiction read just to recover from the last book. "
— Carrie, 3/29/2012 -
" Mystery/romance. Liked the characters. "
— Clearwater178, 12/16/2011 -
" Well written chick lit,nice and light if that is what you are in the mood for. Light mystery, girl meets boy, etc. etc. with a twist. I needed something I didn't have to concentrate on, and this filled the bill. "
