Set in Hong Kong, this book tells the story of Emma Donahoe, an Australian nanny, and her new employer, a very rich Hong Kong businessman. The blurb talks about the possible targeting of his daughter Simone by kidnappers and Emma's entry into a world of martial arts, magic and extreme danger.Emma is a bossy young women who thinks that the world should revolve around her. In spite of the fact that she has absolutely no personal charm, the world seems to comply. Inexplicable really. She would have**3.5 Stars** **Minor Spoilers**I cannot begin to describe the shit storm of hateful feelings I had for this book. So prepare for a rant. Emma is an English teacher in Hong Kong. She is super employable coming from an English background, and her employer Kitty Kwok asks her some apparently offensive questions about what her other employers do for a living. So she ups and quits. *Snaps for Emma*All of a sudden, this super hot Chinese guy Mr. Chen whom she has been working for, makes her an
I picked this book up because the title caught my attention. "White Tiger? One of the four guardians? Sweet!" Alright, my thought process wasn't exactly like that, but the gist is there. So I see that. There were also two other books out on the shelves, each with a name similar to the first. Hm. A series. Could be interesting.Well, then I start reading. Let's get into that.Emma Donahoe is an Australian living in Hong Kong. She finds herself in the employ of Mr. John Chen, a wealthy man who needs

She did all that and more. All the females in the book seem obsessed with upward mobility by hanging on tight to the handsome well off male characters. Theres the usual I dont like her boyfriend cause he gives me this vibe and sure enough chapters later turns out the guy is a cad. Shocking! The main
I liked the story a lot and I would have rated it higher but the editing (or lack thereof) let it down quite a lot. Although I'll read the next book in the series as I'm interested to see how it develops.
** 4.25 stars ** I bought this book about 10 years ago but for some unknown reason never once wanted to pick it up and I'm not even sure if I unhauled it or not. I randomly came across it in the library and just suddenly thought 'I want to read that'. I was immediately engrossed in the story and didn't want to put it down at all. I felt such a strong connection to Emma because that's basically my situation right now, an Australian living and working in Hong Kong. I was so excited to find out the
The author is very knowledgeable about Chinese Mythology and martial arts. It was very interesting to learn about it because its new territory for me. I loved some, not all the characters though. I loved the little girl, she was just a cute character and a very strong one as well. Although I really wish that the author would have explored her character a little more. It has a pretty awesome storyline, although it kind of drifted off coarse here and there but it got right back on. Ok on to some
