This is an erotica book, not a porn book so if you are looking for lots of measurements, non-stop sex, and vulgar words, don't buy this book. But if you like a hstorical setting, that does appear to be fairly well researched, the imagined "true story", with a femdom leaning then you might like this. I found the writing top notch and the plot well thought out -- however, only three or so months seemed to be covered in what was a three year relationship in much detail. And I want to know why all these femdom tales have sad endings, where the man returns to his world and spends the rest of his life yearning for the powerful female or she dies or she is brought around to the reality that she just needs a strong man. At least this was a romantic tale by the end and for that and the research I give it four stars.

What an exquisite book and a total surprise. Well, maybe I shouldn't have been totally surprised since Blue Moon seems to find books that are teetering on the edge and the reader never really knows what to expect.

This book is a fictional account based on fact and history in China in the 1860's while China was in the middle of innumerable wars and conflicts for its riches and wealth.

Considering that at the time the birth of a female to a chinese family was nothing to celebrate, an army of young women 'Christian' called the 'Taiping' formed to battle with both foreign mercenary armies and Chinese armies for control of the country. One of these bands of zealous agressive and fierce fighters captured a young American officer, 'Thomas Rowley' who was then given to the 19 year old 'Sweet Little Sister' as her slave.

Rowley describes his ordeal and his eventual submission to the will of the little soldiers. It must be noted that the author spends more time on the adventure of the tale rather than the erotic content one may have expected from Blue Moon ..

I gobbled up the book in one reading and, like all good books, felt disappointed when it was finished ....

Erotic and Much More! July 1, 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have to say I loved this book. It is set in China in 1862 when Taiping rebels were fighting against the Manchus. An American soldier is captured by an all-female brigade of Taiping women and this leads to whipping, domination, sex, sexual tension, etc., etc. But it is presented as a true story as if a manuscript of the man himself has recently been discovered. It rings as true as non-fiction and is far more literary than the normal book from Blue Moon. The second half of the book is very moving as well. Love, sex, erotica, femdom, things Chinese, well researched, deeply moving, etc., etc. This one has it all. Don't miss it!
