My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was intrigued to read this book after reading the synopsis and appreciating the fabulous cover art.

Ono Aia begins as a timid young woman living in Japan with aspirations to be someone desired and of importance. As a geisha-in-training, she was often ridiculed based on her body shape which clearly led to a dampening of her confidence. Her bosom and hips were larger than most, which some did not find appealing. Aia’s expectations regarding how her life would turn out was not as positive as she’d like but she hungered for a chance to prove she could do whatever was necessary.

Just as Aia thought her time to shine would never come, a change in circumstances allows her to present herself as Ume, while very important dignitaries visit the area. A dark and mysterious guardsman immediately catches her eye and life as she knows it changes in the blink of an eye.

The remainder of the story includes danger, action, mystery and adventure all while Aia learns more about herself, her strength and her openness for love.

I enjoyed reading this book and liked how the author ended the story making the reader want even more. They could clearly and easily continue with this storyline and build out the characters a bit more. Especially with Nen and his background, as he could be an immensely valuable and adored character. To follow Aia and her journey into learning more about her strengths, her desires, as well as her overall growth and maturity could be a substantial opportunity for the readers and author.

I believe readers will thoroughly enjoy this book and the phenomenal imagery.

I give this 4 out of 5 stars!
