Capturing the Silken Thief, Jeannie Lin

I LOVED THIS. A romance set in Tang Dynasty China, between a scholar studying for the civil service exams, and a woman who plays music for a troupe but who is pretending to be a courtesan? Oh man. They were both so likeable, and they were both so smart and into each other. My only complaint, as usual, is that this is a novella and not a novel, because I would have read a lot more of this. (Yes, I know, it's part of a series, and I will go get the rest of it, don't worry.)
