   Reader note

   I'm the most qualified to speak on this! Especially since *Green Hills Like Jade* is already published, the male lead is a gentle and steady older man who is kind and attentive to the female lead. The second book, *Beijing Pampered Marriage*, has a male lead who is the cunning type, and the female lead is quirky and clever; the storyline is exceptionally well-written. The third book, *Beijing's Pampered Love*, has a male lead who is completely the "father figure" type. The last two books are by the same author, and I absolutely love this author's writing. All three books feature older men, and the male lead is emotionally stable and has excellent problem-solving skills. I highly, highly recommend them!
