Tanaka Rain

Yakuza Claimed, Book 1

De: Kenya Clark

Narrado por: Sable Lyn, Gene Roberson

Plus-size beauty Ebony Drake has been poor all her life. Instead of wishing for her situation to change, she decides to change it. She moves away from her drug-addicted mother to start her life anew. The last thing on her mind is love until she meets the mysterious Rain Tanaka. Ebony doesn’t know what he sees in her, all she knows is that he scares her with the way he makes her feel.

Rain Tanaka has spent his life taking care of his family. He realizes quickly, he had been a fool in thinking everything he needed was found at home. Ebony Drake is the missing piece. He knows he shouldn’t get involved with her, but there’s just something about the dark skin beauty that pulls him to her. However, just when things begin to heat up between them, he has to walk away.

No matter how much Rain tries, he can't erase Ebony from his sweat-filled dreams. Risking it all, Rain will do anything to get the love he left behind back. He should have remembered the code; no one disobeys the Yakuza.

Fun characters

The story was good, the characters were amazing. I loved the banter between all of the characters. I have to agree with another review in that the male narrator was all wrong for this book. All-in-all a decent start to the series.

More please

I would love for the others to be available on audible. Not sure I like the male narrator much for that particular part. I really like this series I wish there were more like it.

Love it

Can't wait to hear the next books. This series has a lot of potential and I love the close bonds of the characters.

interesting story

I enjoyed the plot however the harshness of the male narrator threw me off a little. I believe a male with a slight Japanese/ American accent would have been the bees knees

Great

This was a great book and I wish this book was a movie or TV series. I do wish that the talent author didn't use God's name in vain. You don't have to use those words to have a great book. It had a great storyline and sexaul storylines. I can't wait to hear the other brothers and guards love stories and even his father changing and falling for Maya. However, I don't know how him killing their mother is something they can get pass. I know this talent author can work that out. I wanted Rain to know how they touched Ebony and have her beat those monsters. Good narrators and ending. I was hoping her old coworker got with Kenji. Can't wait to hear that story on audible!

Good and eye-rolling

I liked the female narrator, but I didn’t expect the male narrator to be a black man, lol.

The things that bothered me was the mispronunciation of “Yakuza.” Emphasis was on the wrong syllable. (I have Japanese in-laws.) The other was never using the word “nodding” for yes or agreement. The writer always used shaking the head for that, and I found it annoying. But I liked the story and the characters.

powerful and amazing

this book was amazing l love how they're love for each other being them closer to each other and he didn't give up .

Something new

It’s shorter than I normally like but I enjoy BWAM. Not enough of them. Great book can’t wait to hear the others in the series

I've enjoyed listening to this book

I've read all the tanks series and look forward to the next one ...please make the other books Audible

Good story

I really liked the story. Female narrator did a good job. The male narrator seems good but this was the wrong story for him to read. I’m still going to get the next book when it comes out. But I’ll be better prepared if it has the same narrators.
