I really enjoyed this series and am hoping to read more from the grandmaster universe in the future. Now on with the review.Book 1: struck by thunderI found this book to be a romantic and an action filled read. I enjoyed reading about Lei. A very strong woman who is Chinese and caucasian. She is a woman of both worlds who wants to do something no other woman has ever done and that is to be a Kung Fu master. She meets the grandmaster Wyatt McManus and is immediately smitten. But you see Wyatt loves women a little to much. It was very enjoyable to read about their relationship and to see how Lei not only grows as a woman but as a Kung Fu master as well.Book 2: race for redemptionthe book picks up a few years after book one. You see Wyatt and Lei settling into their family roles with a little something else added, someone is running for public office. Ms. Lee does a great job of showing the emotional strain that pops up between our two main characters. Even though I think Wyattt is very sexy,  sometimes I wanted to yell at Lei for letting him get away with stuff because of his charm. All in all it was a very good read, with a very satisfying ending.Book 3: the Frenchman's womanNow this is my favorite book in the series so far. I think that it has something to do with Bai. I don't know it might be the five languages that he speaks or the fact that his enemies start to have bladder issues at the sound of his name. Elena,  Wyatt's daughter from the first two books gets her story here and meets her perfect match in Bai. He lets her be herself but also is able to reign her in if she gets to wild. The story was well written and the sex scenes were hot. I enjoyed the interaction between Bai and Elena and even the interaction between Wyatt and Bai.Book 4: the Frenchman's  revengejust like in the first three books this one is filled with romance, action and adventure, and history. The story continues with Elena and Bai. We also get to meet a grown up Alex,  Elena's twin. I really enjoyed watching the two main character's relationship grow. I loved reading about Bai 's relationship with Alex and seeing how that grows as well. Again like the other three books in the series,  Ms. Lee keeps the action intense and the sex scenes hot.All in all I loved the first four books in the series and I am hoping that Ms. Lee writes more about the different characters in the grandmaster universe.
