I absolutely adored The Jade Dragon by Rowena May O'Sullivan. In fact, I loved it so much, I downloaded her first book in the series, A Sliver Rose. I think it is pure magic when an author can draw me so deeply into the story and characters, I just can't let go when the story comes to an end. 
 This story is unique and it's very well written. I instantly fell in love with the heroine, Alanna. What a mess she had on her hands. But she wasn't alone in her troubles. The relationship between Alanna and her two sisters is a joy to read. Like all families, they were not perfect, but they support each other--love each other. 
 What completely sold me on this book was the developing relationship and the chemistry between Alanna and Gregori. From the moment Gregori broke free, it was a real joy watching Alanna and Gregori find their way toward each other. One moment, Ms O'Sullivan had me laughing my head off while the next moment I was sitting on the edge of my seat. 
 While The Jade Dragon is the second book in Ms. O'Sullivan's series, I had no trouble understanding the very imaginative world Ms. O'Sullivan created. The Jade Dragon is a stand-alone novel. I gladly recommend this marvelous story to anyone who is looking for an exciting romance filled with an incredible new world where witches and warlocks are real and love really does conquer all. I can't wait to see how this series ends with Beth's story.
