NOT A KEEPER
I HAVE READ EVERY OTHER BOOK BY THIS AUTHOR WITH POTHOLDERS ON MY HANDS SO I DON'T GET BURNED BY THE SEXY WORDING. THIS BOOK REQUIRED ONLY BLOWING ON THE PAGES EVERY NOW AND THEN. IF THE AUTHOR ATTEMPTING TO TONE DOWN THE STORIES SHE NEEDN'T TRY. THE CHARECTERS WERE NOT COHESIVE THE STORY NOT ENGAGING ENOUGH TO KEEP ME READING FOR HOURS. IT WILL BE THE FIRST BOOK BY THIS AUTHOR I WILL NOT KEEP TO RE-READ.

WAS OK
set in 1868 in japan and france. story was good, was a little confusing for me with the japanese words and phrases. very sexy and loving at times. but when i finished the book it left me with wanting more, like i missed something. i've read other of ms. johnson's books (only the historical romance ones) which were a little better than this one. i do forsee a part 2 with the book ending with the Otari heir and the yakuza's son meeting on their 25th birthday.

Good but Not Up to Par
As always Susan Johnson has written a steamy novel. However, as with her last few books, the details that flesh out a story are missing. In this one, the characters are never described. Events do not flow, connections are missing, background info that would help clarify the story and characters is lacking. The endnotes that I thoroughly enjoy are missing. It's like sections of the book were edited out leaving a chopped up book that was okay rather than one that was REALLY GOOD. Miss the old style of Susan Johnson's books.

LOVED IT!
Classic Susan Johnson style. I have read several of her books. If you love others she has written, you will love this one as well.
