Now her only thought is to get back to Shanghai from the heart of China, board a ship and sail away forever.

Only 10 years later, it wasn’t and when Anna was honest with herself it never had been. Growing up in the orphanage run by nuns was no fun until the magical day her father’s friend found her. Her mother died in childbirth and, years later, she was told her sailor father died of yellow fever. But I did have a coupon (thank you Waldenbooks).Īnna Thompson was orphaned in Shanghai at an early age. No, she said, suck it up and head to a bookstore. It’s….it’s….something different! I quickly emailed Jane to see if we’d gotten an ARC for it.

Then I read the AAR review and perked up. For this reason, I skipped the next two books and really had no intention of trying this latest one. I adored the historic facts about China and the glimpses you gave of it and its people but then it’d be back to the same old sex again. I can only read but so much about stroking jade dragons and rubbing breasts 79 circles in one direction then 79 circles back before the cinnabar cave comes into action. I bought it but actually started reading the series with the second book “Hungry Tigress” and followed with “Desperate Tigress.” It was at that point that I readily admit to getting tired of all the tigress sex stuff. I remember when “White Tigress” was released and all the hoopla about it being set in historical China and the tantric-esque sex.
