For a short erotic novella with gritty non consensual themes, this book certainly packs a wallop. It is not a romance, but the writing is haunting beautiful, evocative. To my mind nobody writes dark erotica quite like this author.Jennifer is working in a bar in Japan when she unwittingly crosses paths with Shindo who kidnaps her. Shindo is a Yakuza and it is bacause of Jennifer that he has lost face and he wants her to pay. Shindo was a mesmerising character in turns mocking and violent, filled with hate for all things Western. A very disturbing man.The ending was a surprise, a big surprise but fitting I think.
