As a strange mix between "The last Samurai" (the movie with Tom Cruise) and any Bodice rippers book, this novel was quite intriguing. She is a strong heroine and he is the tormented hero, one of my favorite couple ;) Luckily he was not a pirate and she was not the shy virgin, which is even better, for both of them and every reader IMHO.

Such a good read, I devoured this in a day. Such amazing detail went into Japanese history. The love story was nicely drawn out too with just the right amount of tension. I'm amazed this book doesn't have more reviews especially with the fact that it's only $3 over at Amazon...absolute steal.
