This is my first Ridley Pearson novel. I liked the strong protagonists and the way they play off one another. Since they are the opposite sex, there is a little sexual tension here and there - elusive but there. I also liked the brother character. He shows the soft, caring side of our hero. Not sure how I felt about the setting. Just being in China made for a convoluted story for a westerner. Good story, though. I would give it a 3.5 and I am going on to the next one and might check out one of his other series. The end left me wondering if he really could fix his brother's "boo boo." Maybe Grace can do it for him. I hope Pearson will let the readers know in the next book how that turned out as his brother continues to rack up high medical bills that must be paid.
