She’s arrived in Shanghai two weeks earlier than her fiancé Max (Maxwell Slade) is expecting her-she got better rate on an earlier boat. The book is set in Shanghai in 1897 and, from the first chapter, the heroine, Lydia Smith behaves inexplicably. I questioned if I was too Western or too humdrum for your book for not only did much of the novel baffle me, much of it made me cringe. I was actually rather repulsed by it and found it to be so bizarre I wondered perhaps, in order to make sense of the story, I needed some sort of cultural Rosetta stone. I cannot say I was fascinated by this book. I’m always thrilled to find a historical romance not set in Regency England and I’m fascinated by China and its complex history. When I saw you’d released your Tigress series digitally and the first one, originally published in 2005, White Tigress was free at Amazon, I downloaded it immediately.
