In "An Illicit Tempation," a serving girl takes the place of princess in this tale that takes our heroine across the wild steppe of ancient Asia. Though young Dao is grateful for her sudden elevation in status, it means marrying a barbarian far from the only home she's ever known, something she is quite willing to accept. But being a princess loses its appeal as Dao falls for her escort, Kwan-Li, a man with a hidden past.Author Jeannie Lin's ability to take the reader to a foreign land in a time readers know little about is unparalleled. "An Illicit Temptation" is a lunchtime read, short, but it will leave you satisfied emotionally. The scene description and introductions to the culture of the time are so well done, you will be left craving more. Lin is an outstanding storyteller, and "Temptation" proves she can create a wonderful romance in very few words.
