Chronicle In Favor Of Books White Tigress (Tigress #1)
Englishwoman Lydia Smith sailed to the Orient seeking her fiancé. She found treachery instead. In seedy Shanghai, she was drugged, sold, made a slave to a dark-eyed dragon of a man. But while her captor purchased her body, was that what he truly sought? He demanded not her virginity but her yin—the essence of her ecstasy—and there seemed no choice but to consent. What harm, Lydia wondered, was there in allowing him to pleasure her, to teach her, until she could flee? It was the danger—and reward—of taking the first step on a journey to heaven, and her feet were already on the path to becoming a radiant and joyous...White Tigress.Particularize Books During White Tigress (Tigress #1)

This is fabulous. I adored the details of China and Shanghai and of course Taoist mysticism and eroticism. Beautifully written. I adored Lydia and her journey into the heavens.Dear Ms. LeeWhen 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. Im always thrilled to find a historical romance not set in Regency England and Im fascinated by China and its complex history. I cannot say I was fascinated by this book. 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
It's marked as a Romance, but I found the hero's behavior unforgivable and the heroine's insta-love inexplicable and demeaning. I couldn't finish the book.
This is the first book in Jade Lees Tigress series. Set in Shanghai, 1897, White Tigress chronicles the story of Lydia Smith, an Englishwoman, who is travelling to China to surprise her fiancé, Maxwell Slade. Unfortunately for our heroine, things do not go as planned. Instead of going to her fiancés house, she is brought to a brothel, drugged, and put up for sale as a sex slave. However, Lydia is saved by the most unlikely of people: Shi Po, an expert in Taoist tantrism, and her student, Cheng
An English woman of the 1800's is sold into slavery just after landing in Shanghai China- only to fall in love with her captor. (Of course HE is smart enough to realize that she is far more than the simple "pet" he purchased her to be, to fall in love with her whilst setting aside all their cultural differences, and moreover marrying her, then bringing her in as co-proprietor of his family shop. Clever hero.)In the beginning, I loved the setting, even liked the story. However, prose and
All I have to say is WOW!!!!
This is not your typical historical romance. It is a poem written for lovers. It is written loosely about Taoism and reaching heights of Immortality. Lydia had no idea what would befall her in Shanghai. In 1897 things are different for a pure Englishwoman. I cannot go further without giving away the entire story, but the reward of White Tigress will be yours when you read it. Learn with her and her captor what they learn about and with each other.I was quite please with this story. Finished it
