Schooled by Lorelei James - FMR REVIEW


TITLE: Schooled (Mastered, #2.5)
AUTHOR: Lorelei James
RELEASE DATE: December 2, 2014
SYNOPSIS:
From the author of Bound and Unwoundan all-new novella in the New York Times bestselling Mastered series.

When Amery Hardwick first met martial arts master Ronin Black, she wasn't ready for the level of his sensual artistry or his need for extreme control. Nor was she prepared for the primal urges it released in her. Amery and Ronin were made for each other.

When they married they were certain their future would be a fulfilling journey of love and passion. But happily ever after is never so simple. Six months later, while in Japan, Ronin is training with his sensei, while Amery is consumed by her own burgeoning career and a culture shock with which she is struggling to adapt.

Now, from the heady pleasures of Tokyo bondage houses to the unyielding family traditions pulsing with every beat of Ronin's heart, Amery and Ronin find the limits of their relationship tested once again, and shocked to discover what they're willing to do in order to save it.
REVIEW BY: Kim
***1/2. Only because as I read this book I felt kind of like I needed a lesson in the Japanese language. I'm all for authenticity, but it's a little distracting to always be wondering what this word or that word is in English. 

Ronin gets called back to Japan for Training after having spent a lot of down time from an injury. It's also a good time for Amery to meet Ronin's grandfather.
6 months in and Amery is still having issues with trying to stay on an even playing field with her husband, except as she steps onto the private plane, it slaps her in the face...Ronin is very, very rich. She doesn't want him to spend money on her, never did, never will.
Turning the trip into a honeymoon is a great idea, except for the weeks that Amery spends alone because Ronin is off doing ninja stuff.

And the meeting with grandfather looms over Amery's head.
Schooled is a sweet look into the lives of two very strong, very passionate people that we met and fell in love with through the pages of Bound and Unwound.
The heat and passion between Ronin and Amery goes on.
3.5 Stars
