Review: Lovely historical romance!

I think this is my favourite Jeannie Lin novella so far, and possibly one of my favourite stories by her ever. Jia and Cheng are wonderful together (even when they're butting heads -- okay, especially when they're butting heads), the romance sweet and not insta-love, and the historical details painstakingly authentic. It's a wonderful introduction to Jeannie Lin's works as it stands alone very nicely, but is also a great precursor to The Lotus Palace. The sense of time, place and culture is just fantastic.
