4.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced story filled with romance, love, sex - and more, April 3, 2002

By

This review is from: Kyoto Connection (Paperback)

Page Queenan was an American woman living and working in Kyoto, Japan. Page had fallen in love with not only the country and its customs but also with one of its citizens - in the form of the handsome and sexy Kenji Tanaka whom she had met in the sento (the communal co-ed bathing house). She had been relaxing in the hot steamy water when she heard a male voice asking could he join her. She looked up to see the naked vision of the most handsome man she had ever seen. How could she deny him access to the sento? After all it was communal and it was co-ed.

Deborah Kemp writes a fast paced story filled with not only romance, love and sex but also with intrigue, kidnapping and attempted murder. I was fascinated with Ms. Kemp's knowledge of Japan, its language and its customs. I recommend this book not only for the romance reader but also for the mystery lover and for people who love to read about foreign countries. After having lived in Japan myself, I can verify that it is a very authentic account of Japan and its people.

This review is from: Kyoto Connection (Paperback)

I loved Kyoto Connection. I couldn't wait to get home from work to see what would happen next to Page and Kenji. Kemp has just the right blend of romance and intrigue in her writing. The author has done her homework.She has wonderful explanations of Japanese customs and vocabulary in her book.I can't wait to read her next book, Kiss of the Geisha.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful!, June 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Kyoto Connection (Paperback)

This book is absolutely terrible -- so bad it must be self-published. I don't like to be unkind but I wasted the money on this book, hoping for a nice Japanese/American romance, and found it totally unreadable. Basic grammar and structure are ignored, and the whole thing is embarrassing. If Ms. Kemp wants to be a published author she really needs to learn how to write.
Sorry, but it's so bad it's a rip-off.
