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.
