A promise sworn on the edge of a sword…
After a failed assassination attempt on a corrupt general, Bao Yang is a wanted man. Taking refuge with an ally, Yang accidentally compromises the man's daughter when they're discovered alone. To save her honor, he must marry the beautiful Jin-mei immediately!
In Yang's arms, Jin-mei feels alive for the first time. She's determined not to lose him, even if it means joining his perilous mission… But when she realizes just how destructive Yang's path could be, can she convince him that their life together could be so much sweeter than revenge?
My thoughts:
These are so fun! China over a thousand years ago. Romance, danger, fun! There is nothing like it. I have said it before, but yes what I like the best is the fact that it is set in China. It's different. It's fresh. It's good.
In this one former rebel leader Yang is on the run. He is seen with a woman. Her dad gets mad and boom! They are married. But Jin-mei does not mind. She wants more from life, and he is hot. But then there is the whole I am on the run, I can't have a wife thing.
Sure they are married, but they get to know each other after that. They fall in love after they have met and it was a nice journey to see. Also there is danger as people are after him. I do like romance and danger. I even liked quiet village life (they went though a village), because it was new to me.
Conclusion:
This is a different sort of historical romance. Broaden your horizon, and visit China. There is romance, swords and dangers to be had.

I'm going to have to look for this. I'm always looking for historical fiction not set in the U.S. or England.
ReplyDeleteI hope they have it!

DeleteHey Linda, I've been horrible with my blog reading but I'm trying to get back into it again. This book sounds like fun and I always love a book set in China.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to my place :)
DeleteIs this on NG? I want!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was, check it
DeleteI love this author. lol
ReplyDeleteYou had me at the China setting my friend!
ReplyDeleteHihi
DeleteHistorical romance set in China sounds like something I might enjoy! At least it's different, which is all kinds of awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt was so different and cool
DeleteThat sounds so good! I haven't read a China one really. Hmmm
ReplyDeleteGive it a go
DeleteThis seems familiar, you also reviewed the first book recently didn't you? It sounds like you liked this even more than book one, I'm glad!

A month a go or so :) ANd they are so fun
DeleteI think this one sounds terrific. Thanks
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI wonder if this has become a series after I read the very first one, Butterfly Swords, five years ago. I even wrote a review, imagine that ;) It is here if you are curious. I remember that one as much fun, so it seems likely the novels are related to one another. Same author and set during the Tang dynasty. I think I need to carry on, more fun than a lot of paranormal if you ask me(like Cat and Bones just isn't my cup of tea - gosh I can not understand how she gets turned on with a dead body just a few meters from her).
ReplyDeleteI think, yup I have not read that one. Another book was my first, so I missed the first 2 or so.
DeleteThis one and the previous one are in the Tang chronicles, but they are also their own series. So read them all ;)
LOL!. I am so over pnr
Will do :) I however need to read them accoring to year published LOL It is kind of my bookish OCD ;)
DeleteI love different historical romances than the ones we are used to getting! I've been curious about this author and now I know I should read her! Brill review!
ReplyDeleteYes yes you need to try her books
DeleteGlad these are working so well for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much for historical romance, but I have to admit, this sounds cool. :)
ReplyDeleteI say give it a go
DeleteI love the fact that it's about China, I haven't tried a book like that and it must be so interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt was so cool, so yes try it
DeleteI think this isn't the first time I'm reading about this book and it's all very flattering. I definitely have to give it a try. Because ... China! Asian culture is fascinating, right? Awesome review.
ReplyDeleteVery fascinating, but then everything different is fascinating to me
DeleteSomeday I will read this author, someday...
ReplyDeleteOh that someday
DeleteI want this one thank you!
ReplyDeleteHey, maybe even you could enjoy this one :D
DeleteThis sounds super cool!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed this, it does sound different. I'm not too big a fan of these kinds of Harlequins, the covers always put me off.
ReplyDeleteI like this cover :)
DeleteI have one of her books on my shelf and I need to read it!!
