My Heart in Seoul is a short and sweet feel-good read. One of the bonuses in this romance is the great cast of diverse characters, which was a refreshing surprise that provided a nice addition to the story and helped to flesh out the main characters via their secondary relationships.

That said, although this isn’t the steamiest of romances, it is an incredibly sweet story.

I felt like the novella could have done with a few more chapters with more conflict to increase the drama of the relationship, since while it was a beautiful romance, it wasn’t the most passionate. Together Jasmine and Wen are a gorgeous couple. I felt a little like he could have used a flaw or two, since he seemed a little too perfect and too godlike, concerned about saving orphans, a black belt in martial arts and a successful business man, but his devotion to Jasmine made him a charming hero. Nick-named the ‘bronze god’ by Jasmine and her friends, he’s sexy too. She is also caring, for example, becoming upset about the situation of children in orphanages in Seoul. She has had a difficult history with men with a bad breakup that ended up making headlines, and makes mistakes like getting drunk and making out with a stranger. I really liked Jasmine and she is easy to relate to. The two explore Seoul and begin to fall in love, but can their romance last once Jasmine returns home to New York?
