My Review...
Hmmm from Cowboys to erotic rope masters Lorelei James has done it again. In this series we have a small town girl and a silent intriguing sensei.
Amery wants to help her friend by going to self defense classes at the local dojo. Here she gets the notice from the dojo sensei. The chemistry between the two is off the charts from the very beginning. Amery was raised by a preacher family with strong values which has given her present day conflictions with her sexualty.
With the help of Ronin he opens up this gem in the rough to her fullest potential. The more Amery blossoms and grows the more Ronin keeps secret.
As there exploration comes to a peak Amery has to come to turns with her sensuality by completing giving in to Ronin which only heightens their passion and chemistry.
As their relationship progresses Amery's friends start to warn her that she really doesn't know Ronin but could her love be blinding the obvious.
