I received a copy of this book for review.I confess that I found this book to be engaging, romantic, and full of surprises. The characters are well-written and the story is full of intricate plot twists. In fact, looking back, I'm amazed at how much was packed into this first book. It makes me very curious about what the author has planned for future books in the series.The characters are very likable (at least the good guys are) and very well-developed. The story centers around American businesswoman Angelique, the coworker that she's been pining over for 3 years, David, and the CEO of the business she's in China to impress, Gao. A very unique love triangle develops full of love, sorrow, rage, and anguish. At times it was hard to know who I wanted to cheer for, but for me Gao pulled miles ahead. I loved him. Along with romance, the story is also full of mystery, action, intrigue and a great paranormal world.One aspect of the book I really enjoyed was getting inside each of the character's heads in turn. It can sometimes be very disorienting and frustrating switching perspectives, but this was very well done. I found it helped me really understand the drive behind each character.I'm looking forward to seeing where the author can take her characters. I especially would love to see David find a "true mate". I would love to see nature win out over science. Plus that would make Gao feel better, and he's my boy. Gotta cheer for him to keep the happy. :)Would I reread this book? Yes.Would I recommend this book to a friend? Absolutely.
