BURNING TIGRESS by JADE LEE

di elisarolle

Living in Shanghai has proved one thing to Englishwoman Charlotte Hicks: she wants more from life than an Englishwoman normally receives. When she finds a set of erotic scrolls left behind by her friend, she decides to begin with learning what those scrolls depict. Serving as First Boy in an English household has also proved to Ken Jin that he needs more from life, but when he learns that Miss Charlotte had found sacred Tigress scrolls, his first mission is to wrest them from her possession and return them to their rightful place. Stubborn as ever, Miss Charlotte refuses, unless he agrees to teach her what the scrolls truly mean. The latest in Lee's Tigress series, following Hungry Tigress and Desperate Tigress (both 2005), offers a more humorous tone, but have no fear: Lee's deft eroticism hasn't lost any of its power. With her latest variant on the Tigress practice, Lee's star continues to burn bright. (Nina Davis)
