Review: smoothly written but lacks originality and dated asian stereotype

I generally enjoyed this book and it's smoothly flowing story. However, as some have mentioned, it's been done before. Furthermore, surely in this day and age, we've moved beyond the suave heroic white man saving the asian beauty from her 16th century backward customs which would rigidly force her into marriage and be a good little wife. Of course , she thinks he's a good lover too.I think Mr nuttal could have made the book much more original simply by reversing the genders. That would have made the book stand out a bit.
