Tora.
His tiger.
His obsession.
But Kenji Sato has rules. A legacy. And enemies who would slit her throat just to watch him bleed. He can’t afford to fall in love, and yet—he does so fast it shocks him.But does the Dragon truly have time for love?
Or will the Dragon drag them both into the fire?

Kenya Wright wrote her first novel during her third year at UM Law school. She dropped out a month after the release and never looked back.
Words are power,
and Kenya wants to be the greatest wizard that ever lived.
It's an audacity to inspire
and teach the healing of love through arousal.
It's this crazy idea that love
can not only help a reader escape,
but the story can also teach the person
about being human,
while making them laugh,
cry,
and hot for more sex.

Why?!! She’s not a bad writer—she just spends too much time talking about stuff no one cares about. The couple meets, then she goes off for 2 chapters following the guy, describing his crew and then detailing a meeting we don’t care about. Then spends a chapter describing her platonic male friends house, then a random chapter through the pov of a dragon 🤦🏾♀️ Then a loooong car ride to get the MMC & the FMC in the same room together. I spent that whole time screaming OMG move on already 😡 I DNF.

Exquisite
The Japanese culture, the artistic flare, the building of these two MCs and the beginning of their intense love story...with the very slow burn, intense sensual tension. Though I feel like this is one of her old books (name is changed from a few years ago) that she is retelling with some new plot twists...this is better, but very de ja vu. I love the other book(s) but this is better plot twists, lot more danger. Bringing the Lion in as an enemy, the really early days (before the mouse entered), made me loathe him more😂...and he annoys me enough as it is now. Love that this will be a series, but I hope it doesn't turn into the AMBW version of the Lion and mouse that goes on forever (years in fact)😑.

Kenya really can paint a sumptuous scene. I love her writing, though she can sometimes get a bit lost in the weeds and descriptive scenes drag on too long. I definitely hope there's more actual dialogue between the MCs and less inner dialogue and descriptions in book 2.
I enjoyed the FMC and the MMC. The FMC was funny and I liked that there was a balance of strength/defiance and vulnerability/surrender. The MMC was charming, hot, and seemed to have depth, not just solely thinking about sex with the FMC the whole time.
The storyline is interesting. I look forward to book 2.

Heart Wrenching & Explosive
This story started at a slow sizzle but quickly became an explosive story of love, hate, vengeance and the ultimate tale of sacrifice, pain, betrayal and loss. Can’t wait to read the continuation of this epic story.

Couple worth reading about
Kenya girl you are so talented. I have to use my adventurous imagination and girl this was a ride I would definitely pay good money to get on. I also have to use my spiritual imagination as well because I believe we are all connected in that way. Let me get back on this ride now since the intermission is over!!!
Love you❤

Wow, That ending!
I read the original story and I can honestly say this version is so much better. The best part was the last couple of chapters. Omg, I felt so bad for Hiro and Nura. I want the father to be unalived in the slowest most torturous way. I also hope that we get to see more of Hiro in the upcoming books or maybe he can have a book of his own. He has an interesting story. Will definitely be reading the other books that follows.

I want more!!!
This book was well written. It captured my interest from the first page until it ended with that cliffhanger. I read it in one day. As I read, I could see the characters like a movie was playing in my head. The author presents a vivid picture and it has left me wanting more of this world of the Dragon and the Tiger.

Why Lord why
This book was 🔥. The emotional journey that one goes on to better understand the love of family and the love one should have. The pain of love found and lost the war to find it and end anyone that tries to take it away.

Roar To Flames 🔥🔥🔥
I loved it 💓 Nyomi Nyomi Nyomi or shall I say Tora 😉 I love her, she's witty, curious, funny and overall B.A. I love the chemistry between her and Kenji. The scenes were very detailed making me want to dive right in. I'm loving the description of everything. I like that she wants to explore but is holding her own. Not giving in to his every demand. I love the development of the story, as well as the bonus story within the story, that is so Fire literally lol. The Dragon That Swallowed The Moon had me fascinated as well. I can't wait to continue both. Overall this is a great read that gives you a smooth surrender, action, suspense and sexual energy. Kenji's world has definitely swallowed me with his Roar and Claws, I can't wait for more.

The plot was good, but it was over detailed and at a stand still for a while. I struggled at times and almost Dnf'd, but between already dnf'ing about 6 books back to back and wanting to see exactly where this one was headed, I stuck it out. Im hoping the second book doesnt drag as much.

Absolutely Entertaining
I couldn’t wait to read The Dragon, book one of the Dragon series (don’t worry, if you're like me you'll enjoy yourself). This is supposed to be a dark romance features Kenji, the underworld boss of Japan who is called Dragon and Nyomi a author of best selling books and she wants to write a book about the sex trade of the underworld in Japan. They are instant attracted to each other but for now they have managed to keep a small amount of distance from each other until Kenji caged Nyomi against the door and ran his hand down her face which Nyomi ask him not too her and Kenji curl her hair around his finger and Nyomi answer was to knee him in the groin then ran. Kenji folded over in half with pain and thought of the only time this had happen in which time he broke the person nose and sent him to the hospital they were only eight years old and he didn't get in trouble now she made him laugh because he was the Dragon and no one had ever dared to do so again until now. Nyomi ran with her friend Zo who was worried about rising tension, or perhaps passion, seems to be more than the two can handle. The story is full of ribbing and laughter from each of their friends who provide the perfect mix of light heartedness and tough love. The banter and drama between Kenji and Nyomi, with the backdrop of the sex underworld, and the cliffhanger at the end makes this the amazing start of this series. I'm excited to read book two! I highly recommend.

When it comes to romance books, I am an extremely tough critic. I hardly finish them because they are predictable. The FMH is young and naive, the MMC dominates and controls everything, etc. Also, I have learned that once the characters become intimate, I become disinterested. So, I love a good yearning, obsessive slow burn, even an enemies-to-lovers. I want to see some context and depth to the character's relationships not just immediate attraction and sex. This book delivers on that and more. It is written like poetry. It draws you into the underworld of Tokyo while exploring what power feels like when you don't expect it. The flirting, teasing, push and pull of Kenji and Nyomi's relationship along with the undercurrent of danger, it's just chef's kiss. And the story within the story of Sol and Korin, that needs to be a stand alone novel immediately. I wanted more of that story so bad. All 3 books are so beautifully written and a great introduction to Kenya Wright. I am ready to devour more of her books and pray they do not disappoint like this one did not. Also, a 4th and final book to be released this December! Cannot wait.

I'm hooked! Where's part 2?
Here I am, looking at the number of pages left and wondering where this story is going because I'm almost at the end and you decide to leave me hanging like this, Mrs. Wright. That ain't right! Why would you do this to me!? 😭😭😭
I wasn't sure if this story was going to be supernatural in nature but I was intrigued to see where it went either way. It ended not being the case but I'm invested! I love every single character except for the Fox. He is vile and he's gotta go. Expeditiously! I also need my buddy Zo to stand tf up sir 😅.
Now for the main characters...
Nyomi is so patient and understated. She has this quiet power that you might overlook until she speaks. Kenji has so much shit to deal with that he didn't ask for but I love the way he is with his people and the love he has for them. I love that he doesn't really hide it either. Btw, that date was definitely an experience! My man is so smooth with it but he definitely deserved that little "lesson" from Nyomi on how to approach a lady 🤭.

As a profound lover of dragons, the title alone hooked me before I read the blurb.
I dove in expecting fire, and Kenji delivered. He’s a strong alpha presence—smooth, deliberate, and commanding—but Nyomi made this story sing. She’s no pushover. She matched Kenji’s energy with her quiet power and refused to be swept away. Their romance didn’t rush. Nyomi set the pace, and I respected every moment of her strength.
The writing? Poetic and immersive. The scenes were rich with emotion and tension, and the pacing kept me locked in from start to finish.
Honestly, the only way this story could’ve been better is if Kenji turned into a dragon. I would’ve screamed. But even without physical scales and wings, his energy was pure fire.
I’ve finished books one and two, counting the days until book three drops.

Wow !!
I can just tell this series is going to bad ass and I'm here for all of it .I don't think Tokyo or Kenji's father realizes what as awakened but they will very soon .Nura death was unfortunate but it will not be vain. I thought that Nyomi was getting herself into a situation that was way over her head but imagine my surprisingly that is not the cast at all .I am getting ready to frame open book 2 . Please please let that be more books for this series .Spoiler alert we all know who the lion is and his choke hold he has on the underworld but I really didn't care for his bullying tactic towards Kenji. The Lion needs to stay in his lane and leave the others alone if they are not coming after his and his love ones

Wow
This book was an absolute page-turner that completely consumed my attention from the first chapter. The dynamic between the characters Nyomi and Dragon was brilliantly crafted, with their initial meeting presenting such comedic brilliance that I found myself laughing uncontrollably, to the point of tears streaming down my face. The narrative was so engaging that I was unable to put the book down, eagerly devouring each page with intense anticipation. The storytelling was so compelling that I am now eagerly awaiting the next book in the series, excited to see what adventures and experiences await these captivating characters in future installments.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. I appreciated that Nyomi held her own with Kenji. They were matched in energy, sexuality and wit. I love how elements of the Japanese culture were interwoven into the storyline.
I was absolutely heartbroken for Hiro and Nura. I haven’t been this shook in a long time. It tore me apart. In a fantasy world I would love a different ending for Hiro and Nura with a book of their own. They really pulled me in.
I look forward to the next book with the hope that Kenji and Hiro’s father will pay for his cruelty.

I remember reading “No Ordinary Love” many years ago, so I didn’t think about purchasing it in its re-vamped version titled, “ The Dragon”… but believe me when I tell you that it is nothing like the previous version. The Dragon ( Kenji) and his Tora ( Nyomi) they are that couple! There many other characters in this series including a serial killer who seems to get his kicks by leaving beautifully wrapped boxes of servered feet at Kenji club. So if you are a long time fan of Kenya Wright’s book you will most definitely enjoy this series.

I cried!!!
This book reached into my soul and took hold, I thought I couldn’t love characters more the the ones in the Lion and Mouse series, but these characters have proved me wrong!! Hiro, Kenji, Rep all the fangs and my dear sweet Heroine Naomi. Oh how I cannot wait to see the range of emotions you send me through!!!
Thank you Kenya Wright! For the briefest of glimpses into your soul!!

Tiger and The Dragon
The feelings that this book invoked in me was devastating. I felt the heartbreak and pain of a love that will never be and one that’s put on hold to protect what The Dragon is afraid he’ll lose. If I could be in the book and exact revenge on “The Fox” I’d gladly do it. Such a good beginning to this series.

Dragon and Tiger
This book is a complete rewrite of the original, and I love every bit of it. With the Lion being introduced and the mention of the Butcher, I can't wait to read the second book.
The fire between the Dragon and the Tiger is hot, hot, hot. When they finally get together, Tokyo will burn from their heat.

A sizzling love story!
The Dragon and his Tora. Kenya has written a love story that leaves you intrigued and wanting more. The sexual tension between the Dragon and his Tora scorches the pages. There are several layers in this first book. There is a story within the story that is a fantasy. There is Hiro's story unfolding.....So good!

kenjiiiiiii burn it down!
The gasp for Nura and Hiro! They didn’t even get a chance to start a relationship. I love how Kenji is so obsessed with Nyomi already, and the poetic way he speaks oh man. I love the yearninggggg. This is a great start for this series I can’t wait to see the war between sons and father. And we get to read a bit about kazmir the Russian psycho!

Slow burn but soooo good
I feel like when you get about 60% into the book that's when the fire is getting good and ready. Definitely a slow burn in the first half but by the time you're 90% through, you understand why it needed to be that way. Love the descriptive technique and vivid imagery. I always felt like I was using all of my senses. 2nd book will be started tonight!

Great foundation.
5 stars is a given for me for anything written by Kenya Wright. But I will say I got over the prose very quickly. It’s flowery. Like eye-rolling inducing. Distractingly so.
But! I couldn’t put this down, and the last act had me at the edge of my seat. So I look forward to reading more about Nyomi and Kenji and hope that I just get past the prose choices.

Beautiful simply Beutiful
For everyone in the reviews complaining about unnecessary details, I beg to differ. The author sets a complex story in a rich historical background. Sidenote I wasn't expecting all these plot twists. 10/ 10 can't wait to read part 2. The Dragon and his Tora stole my heart.
