Amanda, have you ever emailed her and made the suggestion that she continue this series or start another like it? I contacted her a few years back and she responded very quickly, was delightful to email with and enjoyed my suggestion for a future book name. Regretably, we both knew that a Particular Major Corporation wouldn’t enjoy it though. ;)

I Loved all of the tigeress books. I myself am in a multi racial marriage; I am White my husband is Asian, it is refreshing to finally hear some culture mixed relationships I can relate to. Plus I just think the Asian culture is so interesting and that the other cultures like Scottish and English have been way over done. No offense I am both those cultures and I like those books to but this is refreshing. I hope this is not her last book in the series or I hope she comes out with a new series with the Asian cultures and mixed relations. I highly appreciate the change, it helps to be able to relate. (Plus all kidding aside I am sick of hearing of hairy chested man….ewwww! When was that sexy again, nothing ruins a book for me then more the a hairy chest..jk jk) Guess I like those clean chested Asian men! *Blush.*

Thanks Jade

Damn Liz, I’m glad I didn’t know that stuff when I was reading it! But thanks for telling me.

I had to give up this series because of the sheer amount of historical inaccuracies… the most horrific being ‘Qin’ for ‘Qing’ dynasty – the former is the first dynasty of unified China and the latter is the last dynasty of China, with about 1800 years in between. See the difference a letter can make?

And ‘Mongolian’ instead of ‘Manchurian’… Qing emperors were Manchus, not Mongolians!! I don’t know which ethnic minority would be more badly insulted by that slip.

Regardless, I will take a look at Tempted Tigress because there’s so few books out there that deal with this setting.

because I got three books into the series and realized the first one was good, but the rest were gimmicky.

Exactly why I skipped books 4 and 5. But this one has more of what I was hoping for from the whole series and that’s life in China at the time. Not life endlessly replayed in a Tigress Temple. However, I did buy it at Waldenbooks where I knew I could take it back if I was disappointed. But I wasn’t. Yea!

I was looking at this in Wal-Mart the other day and put it down because I got three books into the series and realized the first one was good, but the rest were gimmicky. The opium-addicted Anna seems interesting, and I like the Boxer Rebellion, so I think I’ll pick this book up.

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.

LOL. This was my response to the second book I read in this series, too, even though I loved the nineteenth century China setting. I’m glad to hear this book is different.
