Great, dark, arranged marriage yakuza romance.

Loved the relationship development between Kenzo & Vi. The degradation and praise were so good! And the public scenes 🔥 I need Kenzo in my life…

The plot kept me hooked and there were multiple plot twists I didn’t see coming. There were some parts that were slower paced, giving more time to character and relationship development while some parts were faster with more action. The story never felt dull or rushed.

I’ve read multiple mafia romances before but I believe this was the first yakuza romance I’ve read. Loved the cultural aspect with different ceremonies, language etc.

Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!



I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
