This was a book I chose to fill a challenge prompt. It was a just ok read for me but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had not listened to the audio. 
The story had the potential to be a steamy read, the words were there, but the narrators were not very good at including emotion into the narration through out the story. They were just reading the words, not performing them. At times I found it very monotone, unfortunately.
I did enjoy learning more about the touristy sights and history of Vietnam.
