ARC Review

Emperor of Lust follows Damian, heir to the Nikolayev Bratva & Hana Mori, of the Kyoto Yakuza. We see Hana as “The Kitsune” laundering money for dangerous criminals behind her family’s back & stealing the Nikolayev’s clientele. After Hana’s ambushed at her meeting, Damian -tracking her- deals with her attackers; leaving Hana at certifiable psychopath Damian’s mercy. After that encounter, in a family meeting the next day, Kenzo lets Hana in on his plans: her faux engagement to Damian for the means of mutual business interests in Tokyo. After that first night, Damian becomes obsessed with Hana, relentlessly pursuing her. The pair relocated in Tokyo; pair forced proximity, one bed & Damian’s relentless attitude & the pair grow much closer. Emperor of Lust: a dark Russian Bratva x Japanese Yakuza mafia romance, one bed, fake engagement romance and the third installment of Jagger Cole’s Memento Mori series. I’ve been loving this series, and I was so excited to receive an ARC copy! I loved the spice right off that bat; i’m not a huge fan of insta-love, but being on the insta-lust. I loved these two as side characters, and I love them even more in this book! Hana’s story breaks my heart & I love how possessive and protective Damian gets for her. The k*ll for you, d*e for you vibes are immaculate. I enjoyed how the plot dove into more Yakuza territory & i’m so looking forward to book 4 after the little sneak peak!

Thanks to Jagger & VPR for the chance to ARC read this one!!
