Luce Potter, Head of the American Yakuza, rules with a rod of
iron. She controls her crime organization with the precision of a well oiled
piece of machinery. That is until lies, treachery and deception make her well
ordered world spiral out of control. Luce has suffered a terrible betrayal,
which is eating at her very soul and slowly destroying the life and love she has
with her partner, Brooke Erickson.
Brooke finds her all consuming love with Luce being pushed
aside, with Luce pushing her further away until Brooke is finally out of Luce’s
life altogether.
Although Brooke is alone, she has no intentions of letting go
of Luce. Not until she’s been given a satisfactory answer as to why Luce
suddenly decided to throw the love they had together away.
Federal Agent, Colby Water, is investigating Luce and her
crime organization. Colby is shocked to find someone she cared for in the past
in the forefront of her investigation in to the Yakuza boss. Colby is determined
to put Luce away for a long time. But before she can do that, she has to sort
out her own organization first.
Federal agents, Russians, crime bosses, deceptions, betrayals
and death are a melting pot for disaster. Will Luce and Brooke even survive
everything that is being thrown at them from all directions? If they survive,
will their love be strong enough to bond them back together?
Ever since I finished American Yakuza, I’ve been looking
forward to the sequel. To say I wasn’t disappointed seems trite and no where
near enough to say for this excellent follow up. The story is absolutely
spellbinding, riveting and a page turner from the first page. Unfortunately, I’m
never satisfied. Now I want more. I hope the sequel is well underway.
The surviving characters from American Yakuza are all back
with some more added in. All the characters are fully formed and they all play
their parts to absolute perfection. Interacting really well together. Goodies
and baddies alike.
The story is fast paced and once started, I couldn’t put the
book down. I devoured it in one sitting. Which means I got to read it again to
write my review. No hardship there. My second reading was every bit as good as
the first, if not better. I could take my time, enabling me to savor the story
without the pressures of not knowing how it ended. This series is a keeper and
when it’s all written, it will be nice to read each one back to back.
