This read isn't for the faint of heart, but if you like your romances dark and intense, you'll love watching Kuroda multitask between ascending to power and securing a relationship with Miyuki--in both cases, he's singleminded and doesn't take no for an answer! Not that Miyuki puts up much of a fight. Winter Yakuza is a sexy, scary whirlwind of a story.
