Start of a thrilling adventure!
This story was filled with Mafia, unruly dangers, growing attraction and a Cliffy!
#My 1st by Mya, I’m surely reading more!
The prologues were great, giving insight into Mysuki and Ryan’s life. Both have gone through so much..It has molded their personalities.
The story starts off with Mysuki coming to US for a business deal. She’s the new Yakuza(Japan mafia) head after her dad died. She suspects he was killed and maybe the killers are after her now..
The deal is important to show that she’s perfect for the position.
Ryan’s ex-military now a bouncer. That’s how they met 1st, in the club. She’d drank herself silly, to be free once (she’s pretty powerful even then!), He helped her to go safely to her hotel. So Wild.
Due to this, he also lost his job..
So imagine The Déjà vu when she’s also his new Boss? So Prime and Proper.
(they’ve a mutual friend/cousin!)
He’s to be her bodyguard 24/7. she has another one but he doesn’t speak English, also childhood friends!
Through Meetings, Talks he expects her business is something illegal. Even then their attraction grows.
When he saves her And her dignity twice(1st in a Car Racing Attack then in a meeting), she knows she can’t deny her feelings anymore.
Even after knowing her business he accepts her, makes her smile.
So they gave into one wild night. Though now, she needs him To play the role of her husband. For the sake of the deal.
Will he? Leave her OR take the job?
I hate that Daniel guy, he’s their old partner, american. He treated Mysuki as a child! Connected better to Ryan.
Hence, with Ryan’s this ability, Mysuki wants to balance the trade-off b/w Japan-US. Let’s see if this’ll work or not..
So Excited for more!
Mysuki must keep up a strong front, even though she has just lost her father, and suspects he was murdered, because there are plenty of men eager to topple her off the boss spot and take the reigns of the Yakuza. She has to go and finish a deal in America, and she crosses paths with Ryan a former military man with anger issues, especially over how his life is falling apart. Although Ryan has his problems, he doesn’t turn his back on protecting those who deserve it. I loved this first book in this series, both Mysuki and Ryan are interesting (and not perfect characters), and I liked Ryan’s humour. I look forward to the next book.
Grrr..I loved this book but I’m not a fan of a cliff hanger. Thank you Mya for writing this book for us to enjoy.
A great read. It has it all. Danger. Revenge. Mystery. A very strong female. A handsome, big bodyguard. Actually, two. Strong attraction. Taboo relationship. Fake marriage. But also a cliffhanger…… Book 2 is coming soon.
Wow! This is an exciting read. It’s the tale of a recently discharged (not quite dishonorably) soldier with a penchant for a quick temper and irrational behavior. Mysuki’ s father has just been killed and the funeral done when she steps up to the plate to take over as Yakuza boss as her Father was before his death. She has been groomed for this role and attended college in the United States. Mysuki first meets Ryan at a club where he is a bouncer and she is there with two of her girlfriends getting drunk. He leaves his post just before his shift is up to drive her hotel as she is falling down drunk and her girlfriends had left. He needs a job after being fired from the club and she hires him as one of her two bodyguards. Now things really start getting exciting but there are some funny moments also. Ryan plays an important role during negotiations and there are several twists. Great read.
