I love Jagger Cole’s books. He’s such a talented writer and creates crime worlds that overlap his books even though they are standalones. As such, I have a hard time getting into EMPEROR OF WRATH because in the first 20% of the book there are dozens of characters - some from previous stories, the new characters from Kenzo’s Yakuza world, his family, and the people after Annika.
But it’s so worth staying with the story, because it is intense, suspenseful, combative, spicy, and romantic. Kenzo was someone I was not prepared to like from the first time he was introduced, but his character is every bit a relentless leader. And Annika was not a soft, girly princess, like he calls her.
So this is definitely an enemies to lovers book with a stubborn spitfire woman and an “I am in charge here” man. It is also one where he protects his woman at all costs and he gets plenty of chances to do so.
I was able to read an early copy of this book and provide my opinion that it is a departure from Jagger Cole’s usual books in that the Japanese “mafia” is at the center, but it is very much his style in terms of the conflict, spice, and character transformation.
