      Synopsis

      The Barnes & Noble Review
      Disguise, intrigue, danger, and pleasure mingle dangerously in this sexy romance set in 19th-century Japan by New York Times–bestselling author Susan Johnson. The story begins as Tama, the princess of Otari, is forced to flee after her father is killed and his forces defeated. Disguised as a peasant boy, Tama hides in the city's pleasure quarter, where she finds Captain Hugh Drummond, who agrees tol take her to Paris. In return for his assistance, Tama will pay him with the only currency she has -- pleasure -- but those sensual hours are eclipsed by Tama's desperate need to escape her enemies. The developing romance between this most unlikely and spirited couple will delight Johnson's many fans, and the exotic historical setting is a wonderful bonus. Ginger Curwen

      May 20, 2004: 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.

      February 04, 2004: 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.
