Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. While this is a genre I don't typically read, I enjoy Rachelle Ayala's writing & decided to give it a try. This is a very entertaining humorous paranormal romance. The characters are well defined & interesting. While I don't have a lot of knowledge about this genre, I did find it different from the paranormal books I have read. The originality was refreshing. This was a new take on an old topic. Quite enjoyable. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
When ordinary you and the Son of the Kitchen God are all that stand between a playboy apocalypse and innocent hearts yearning for love.

When Sapphire's friends steal the magic wok, one reputed to cast love spells, she is hurled into an ancient conflict between love and evil. What's a girl to do when a playboy demon and a seriously hunky demigod both want your heart ... and your wok? No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Black Tied takes on the lesser known gods with barely a nod at the major players, and adds in Chinese culture for a delightfully entertaining adventure. The kitchen gods and their fire fighting son are the main gods in this story. When Johnny becomes captivated by Sapphire while fighting a fire in her grandmother's kitchen, he discovers the family's missing Wok of Ages. This sets of a chain of events that will have the reader laughing out loud while wondering if Sapphire and Johnny will be able to work through everything, and everyone, that stand in the way to love and wok. With vivid characters, (who reminded me of several people I know), and a blending of mythology with culture the story balances then blurs reality and fantasy. Black Tied is an entertaining contemporary romance with sweetness and hints of spice rolled into a paranormal egg roll. It is a new favorite of mine. I would definitely recommend it!
this may date me but I would like to add that the characters reminded me of a blend of Bewitched and Josie and the Pussycats. Sapphire and her friends are Josie and the Pussycats while Lao-Lao and Johnny's parents made me think of Endora and Darren's parents. If you remember those shows and enjoyed them, give this book a try. I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series! ( )
