This is the second book on Chinese Zodiac series but is a standalone with its own HEA
In this book we meet Sheng’s elder, Li Tieguai who has been living on Fangzhan Island. He was a handsome man initially but after a small hiccup when his servant cremated his body, he had to reincarnate into the nearest body and ended up an elderly lame man. He roamed the world using his magical gourd to heal those inflicted by great illnesses, like the Black Plague. Then a few decades ago he was tricked by the Monkey King and his magical gourd was drained. He now isolates himself away in an effort to pay penance for his egotistical use of his gift.
The Matchmaker, appears on his doorstep with Wen, she failed her Lotus course when she tried to hard to impress and now has nowhere else to go. Will Li be able to deal with Wen? Will he successfully train the little thief and will she EVER obey his house rules?
I love this series! They are a fresh take on the shifter genre, using the animal Zodiac from Chinese Mythology. There are great scenes and lets just say I was fanning myself a whole lot during the first love scene between Wen and Li! For a man who has not been laid in..awhile he sure remembers what to do!!
Great writing, snappy storyline and sympathetic and engaging characters - what else do you want???
