Mai Tai by Amarie Avant
I have her all tied up . . .
A gorgeous, 40 something walks into a bar, orders a Mai Tai and flirts with a man that checks every box in a sexy, dangerous, dark yakuza romance.
Sounds like it would make for good conversation right?
Except I’m that woman. I’m a shy geometry teacher who gets talked over, looked over, and took a good chunk of her 401k plan to fulfill a getaway vacation, that so happens to include the optional “smutty romance fantasy.”
But halfway through drinks, flirting, and kissing on the first night, I realize I finessed the wrong drop, dead gorgeous guy.
Don’t get me wrong, Ryoichii’s as beautiful as sin. But, he’s not the man I pre-purchased to reenact my steamy book boyfriend fetishes lightyears away from my small Texas town. Ryoichi is the real deal . . .
A yakuza boss!
Tonight gets a whole lot darker when I see my very first murder.
And now I’m all tied up–literally.

This was... funny. It was funny in a 'this is so bad that it's funny kind of way'. Suspend your belief my friends and just read this to pass the time. The premise was interesting, and there were moments when I felt that this novel could have actually been something MORE. However, those moments did not last long. The pacing is fast, as it is a novella, but it is okay. I like Ryoichii. He is cool and calm and his patient responses and one-liners make this book more bearable. It is easy to like him and to be honest he is a bit charming.
Ryan is.... yeah.
Overall a solid 2.5/5. I am going to rate it as a 3 because I am in a happy mood. I recommend this if you are on the train, in the doctor's office or are waiting on a friend and you just want to pass the time. Do not at all think too deeply about this. It's a light read AT BEST
