An adventuresome A Chinese Wife shares the story of the use of an arranged marriage to solve one of life s most difficult challenges, a successful marriage.
Bill did not need a wife, but wanted one. He had become romantically lost. His continued failure to make an honest connection with the women in his life makes him question his current bachelor status. With the right wife, his world could be more.
From his time spent in the orient as a young man, he knew formal and informal arranged marriages were the primary method for couples seeking matrimony. Knowing exactly what he was looking for in a wife Bill felt this direct approach might be the answer for him. Fate intervened and Bill was off to Fuzhou, China, to meet Uncle Wu, an unlicensed marriage broker.
Growing up on the other side of the world in central China, Wei refuses to let her dream of marrying an American fade. Strong and courageous, Wei moves from the farms of rural China to the city, determined to immigrate to America, even though her family thinks such dreams foolish.
However, the question remains, is it possible to find the right spouse without courtship? Bill and Wei seek to find the answers along with their own happy ending.

Chinese Wife: An Arranged Marriage
Gift of Fire
3 Stars
Verity Ames and Jonas Quarrell are at a crossroads both in terms of their psychic connection and their romance. In an attempt to decide the future of their relationship one way or the other, Verity convinces Jonas to accept a job authenticating a 16th century Italian villa that has been relocated to the San Juan Islands. Once there, Verity and Jonas soon realize there is more to the job than meets the eye with murder and mayhem on the menu.
Gift of Fire continues in the same vein as the first book with Verity and Jonas's romance epitomizing the typical tropes of the 1980s bodice ripper with a domineering hero who won't take "no" for an answer, and a strong willed heroine who caves at the first sight of his manly chest. Most of the conflict between them results from a lack of communication, which gets annoying after a while.
That said, Verity and Jonas have incredible chemistry and the sex scenes are some of the most explicit I've encountered in Krentz's books. Moreover, there are definite glimpses of the heroes and heroines of Krentz's later books, particularly Lavinia Lake and Tobias March, and it is clear that she has grown and matured as a writer.
The mystery has an entertaining Agatha Christie like vibe with the discovery of a body and several suspects to choose from. The paranormal elements add an extra twist to the traditional formula.
In sum, a solid follow-up to the first book, but not as good as the later Arcane series books.
