5.0

Historical romance set in China. Shanyin is a legendary princess, sister of a young emperor turning tyrant. She has a harem of 30 concubines and is pretty free with her body and sexuality. Then meet Yuan, an uptight controlled stern lord.

Shanyin wants him, he will do everything not to give in. 

The tension! The angst. The freaking finale. Holy sh1t THIS BOOK IS GOLD.
Really steamy, the build-up of their relationship is perfection. I'm so impressed.

Beware: Cliffhanger of sorts
