Tea with the Black Dragon

I don't read much fantasy, and I appreciated that the fantasy elements of this short novel were not heavy-handed. I thought this was a straightforward, enjoyable light read. The writing was good, the characters were sympathetic, and the action was well-paced. And best of all, the tender love story between two people in middle age (sort of) was a refreshing change of pace from the oversexed garbage "romances" you often get in other thrillers.
