But when he finds out who he’s going to ‘babysitting’, it becomes worse and it’s not at all Masuo has to feel the brunt of Hayato’s wrath because of Hayato’s own insecurities and issues. Even the encounter in the bedroom after their one night stand….he was such an a**. I will admit, I REALLY wanted to punch Hayato at first. Father Murata has clearly taken good control of the reins and it’s become a great story. New characters have arisen and are growing in the family. Having read the other series first, for me it was like coming home. Just little details that make things a little easier to understand.

HOWEVER, you will understand a lot more things like who Endo is and why she is the way she is and who Father Murata is and why he’s made such an impact on the yakuza.

You don’t have to, as this can be read as a standalone. For those that have Amy as a new to them author, I would recommend reading the Yakuza Path series first. So, I have to say, I really loved this book. But as Hayato’s tragic past comes back to haunt him, Masuo wonders if he’s ready to carry all Hayato’s baggage.Ĭan the unlikely pair learn to accept each other and find their way to happiness even while new challenges arise, or is their love destined to fall like balls through a pachinko machine? When Hayato realizes he’s falling for the young parlor manager, he is more than ready for fun. Assigned to run a failing pachinko parlor, Masuo is determined to turn it around to prove himself to everyone…especially his sexy superior. Masuo believes he and his boss made a deep connection, but when he’s blown off the next morning, he feels lied to. And just when Hayato thinks things can’t get worse, he accidentally gets blackout drunk and wakes up in the arms of a clingy underling. He can’t crash at his brother’s because his girlfriend is moving in. His boyfriend broke up with him, changed the locks, and kept all his stuff. But as Hayato's tragic past comes back to haunt him, Masuo wonders if he's ready to carry all Hayato's baggage.Can a night of passion lead to a happily ever after?
