This is the first Jessica Steele book I have read that has some suspense and intrigue. I write suspenseful romance myself, and that is my favorite genre. Clean suspenseful romance. Jessica Steele isn't my normal preference, but I love her stories. The spice is always written the same, so it's easy to skip. I like how she portrays her characters, and I especially love when she sticks humor in the story. This has some lol moments. Since I have zero compass and get turned around easily, I could totally relate to Laurie when she gets lost in China. I loved the travelogue, and I loved the suspense and intrigue. Jessica Steele has 80 published books. My goal is to find and read all of them. A few are on Kindle. The rest have to be hunted down one used book at a time. This book is one of my favorites, and I especially love the scene where they are reading poetry to each other.
One of the funnier ones
