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.

Reread: October 29th, 2019

It's 10 days later and I still have Kazimir and Em on my mind! Now that's a sign of a good author! So a reread I needed and fast! I love this deadly couple and can't wait for "Dirty Minds" to drop!


They're Back!

Hero, Kazimir (the fierce and deadly Lion) and heroine, Emily (his mouse and deadly sidekick lady love) are back and still so in love and running it in "Dirty Hearts"

but.... Hell's bells, Kenya Wright left us readers at the very edge of our seats with another ... you guess it--- description/><br /><br /><IMG SRC=

I'm marinating my words for more verbiage in my venting without spoilers review but I'm still so screaming

when will this deadly but erotic couple get their true HEA!

****re-read again...damn this whole series just gets better and better. Reading it all over again is just freaking awesome... Kaz and Emily are about that life. I freaking lurrrrvvvveee it******

Wooooohooooooo!!!! I freaking Love KAZIMIR AND EMILY! BOOM!!! This couple is astonishingly awesome. Picking up from their last book, Emily and Kaz need to reestablish substantial ground from the betrayal of Sasha and Luka. If you have read her other series, The Butcher and The Violinist, you will find the stories interweaving. In this edition we get to see Kaz and Emily's point of view. I have to say this about Kazimir, I felt him. I felt him in every core of my being. He is intense and deadly. He is secure in him being King of the Bratva and he gives no quarters. He is very much who he is and he loves Emily with a fierceness that will burn the whole world down, Lol. Damn but I love that man! Emily is still such a bad ass. I love her to life!!! Great characters, great world building and even more suspense. For those of us who have read Jean-Pierre and Eden's story we know that some serious killing is going to happen, Lol, but there is so MUCH MORE to come and I for one, CANNOT WAIT!!! A FANTASTIC AND FABULOUS READ! Great job, Ms. Wright!! Never stop writing!!! 5 MYSH, LION, ROCKET LAUNCHER, STARS******

This book has left me very disappointed.

I can't get over that Kazimir cannot find loyal people to be around him that he was to beg people to be by his side.

What is up with Misha not burying his father or answering his phone!!!? It was almost like people around Kazimir did not take him very seriously.

Also could Kazimir please put his dick on hold for a few minutes and check on his war heads and access codes.

It just seemed as if Kazimir's priorities was solely on Emily and having sex with her ALL THE TIME!!! that his duties where side lined.

I just could not get over someone getting into their bedroom twice without anyone seeing anything or noticing. COME ON if Kazimir was so feared and such a scary dude, this would not have happened at all. It just showed me how incompetent his men are and they are that way because Kazimir has no control of them!

There was just so much going on that needed Kazimir's attention but it seemed he just could not focus on anything other than having sex AGAIN with Emily. I was losing focus on the story as it got so boring.

Oh THE BEST was in the Russian bathhouse!!!! these 3 dudes walk in shoot Kazimir's guard in the leg and talk down to Kazimir and he does nothing!!!! YES Kazimir is one feared and scary dude...nah!

The last part of the book bothered me a lot. Emily was supposed to be this fierce fighter that kills and can take on men twice her size, yet she was not able to escape her kidnappers or fight them off. So she shot the one guy in the leg, why not shoot to kill?. mind you there where only 3 of them in the room!!!! oh watching them have sex and they did not know this.

How does 3 men come onto your hotel floor kill everyone and you not know ????? Yet Kazimir had guards in the hotel room outside the door and on the balcony as well?????..............See incompetent.

OMGoodness

I have waited months and months to read more about the Lion and the Mouse. In between I read Sonata and Rapsody....I love them all; however no one rules the world like Kaismir. I can not believe that this book ended so quickly and left me in a lurch. I am hopeful that the next installment comes quickly or I might just wreck something in my need for More!!!!! Please hurry.....and I hope you use the other cover for the next book.....this one kinda makes the Lion look like the frenchman....Jean pierre....the other by beteljuise looks more like the power couple that make up the Lion and the Mouse.....so much intrigue, plot twists, interruptions, good characters! I love it and demand more quickly. Smiles and thank you for giving us this brotherhood!

I want more Mysh and Lion

Dirty Hearts was good and what I was waiting for. It gave more depth to their love story. But, I feel a lot about Emily's kidnapping was already covered in the Butchers and Eden story.

Ugh Kaz + Cliffhanger *Spoilers

Ok I definitely want to read the Butcher and the Violinist just to see what this Eden idea all about. He already is messing with Emily so I don't think a truce can be made but I'd figured that Kaz and Jean are a lot more similar when it comes to their lovers. If only Kaz would listen to Em. Am I the only one who doesn't want Em to be pregnant technically anytime in their world wouldn't be a but now is DEFINITELY not the time for that, maybe 4/5th into the 4 book would be a good time? I should say I like Maxwell but I don't like being in his POV thus I'm glad that we didn't get his POV at all in this book although his POV did serve a purpose in the 1st 2 books. Whoever is messing with them must be someone on the inside but it is werid that Misha is also in Paris around the time that Eden was supposedly kidnapped but if someone is a traitor I would be surprised if they set up Misha to make him look like the culprit. Based on those decapitated monkeys and chimpanzees I have a feeling that's it's someone who doesn't like powerful WM (Misha, Kaz, and possibly Jean-Pierre if his in love w/someone black or half black) with someone black, I wouldn't be surprised if they think they're ruining the "bloodline" thus trying to get rid of them. I wouldn't be surprised if someone from Misha's camp is working against them, afterall when the Harlem Kids arrived at Uncle Igors territory people spat at their feet and looked at the 3 black people with hate. I wonder if they know about Ava? Anyways I think I should read TBTV since the timeline of events seems to correlate.

“And then how can I look at the moon or the stars when you shine brighter than both?”


okay this one was even better than the first two!! their bond just got even better in this one, even though they're still learning to fully 100% trust one another, i can definitely see the development and it's beautiful!!
again, this book was fast paced and that ending?? misha was playing with his life jesus but i am so intrigued to read more! in having fun with this series. i kinda miss maxwell in this one and his friendship and bond with emily but hopefully we will see more of him again!

Wow!

First thanks for the brief history lesson. I have no interest in visiting Russia but I have plans to visit Paris. Anywho, it was nice to have the Lions and the Mouse point of view on how the story went. I was intrigued with hearing both sides. Although, you kind of gave the end away in the Butcher and Edema last book. I can't wait to read more. You keep writing and I'll keep reading.

4.5 🌟 read anything by KenyaWright

If you liked him in 1&2, you're going to love him in 3.. with a set-up for a #4,. Not so much a cliffhanger if you're familiar with the author, and I was happy to revisit the Butcher and other previous characters...

And who doesn't love Emily.?

Great writing, dialogue, humor, action, sex.. Took away half a point for the cliffhanger and unusual typos...(2)
Nice setup for some new books with international antiheros!
Must read.

Still delivering

I would recomend the series to any reader. Kenya gives up fully developed characters and the story spins from there. And what a story. Never boring, never ridiculous. And the hotness is so good. Waiting for the next already.

Cliffhanger. Cliffhanger. Cliffhanger.

I started to read this series because I thought the series was complete with this third book ..at least on these characters..however, that is not the case. The author has decided to stretch out the story with another book. This book dragged with more than half having to do with smexing and not truly advancing the story. The first 2 books were great; this book is okay. Even though those books were enjoyable, they were also a bit drawn out. By the time the author gets through with this story, it will cost approximately $20 for a story. Really? In addition, I bet there will be a book on the other characters. This story should have ended with this book.

OMG

I absolutely love this series. I can't stop reading until I get to the end... I'm holding my breath hoping that there will be more. This author has me totally invested in these characters. Thanks to uniqewords.plc for letting me know it was available.

Intresting

I feel like since we can read Jean-Pierre story then this book should have finished Kazmirs and emilys story since we already know what's goin to happen. (If you read Jean-Pierres story) i feel like its kinda pointless to drag this along to a book 4 unless you finished the fight in 3 , then went to book 4. But its its intresting to see it from the lion & mouse perspective

Enjoyed

After reading this book I felt as if I read it before. If you have read Sonata then you will understand what I mean. It's telling the story on why the Lion and the Mouse was in Paris in the first place. Overall I still enjoyed the story.

So MAD Right now

I'm so mad right now having read all the other books I excitedly waited for this one but it is like a Cliff Notes-review...Where is the rest of it! I almost would've rather waited until the rest of the book was done before you release it. Geese I'm so disappointed!

Sooooo...this means there is a book 4, right?

I love Emily+Kazimir, because of the basic fact that Emily is not a woiye woiye chic, if someone is doing the killing in the room, best believe it will be her.

Why 3 stars? Because we haven't really progressed in the story's timeline after the cross over with Jean Pierre+Eden. In fact, in this book we regressed, came to the meeting point and that is basically it.

What I will commend Kenya Wright on is the fact that even though we went back in time, I enjoyed how it all unfolded, I enjoyed Kaz+Em basically making their baby, I enjoyed them solidifying their relationship and best of all, them C.O.M.M.U.N.I.C.A.T.I.N.G.

So, because of all that and the fact that book 4 will again be rehashing what we already know from Eden+JPs story, I am disappointed with the cliff hangar. I don't think there is a need for a full on book 4. A novella that ties up the remaining loose ends will suffice.

Silly of me, to think I could skip all the other books in between that I felt were just pulling a storyline to death and jump from this book to Dirty Pleasures.

Who the fuck is Lunita?!?!

Why?

I've always said this is my number one book to be made into a series but more than 10 books later, I just don't understand the need for all the books in the series with diluted/such diverged plot.

Anyway, Goodreads doesn't have a way to put up a general note/post with regards to a book without marking it as read and since I don't want to do that, here I am.

If anyone has a YouTube channel that has a recap of each book, up until before Dirty Pleasures, please share a link, coz I'm not reading the other books in between.

I just wanted a Kaz+Emily fix, but now I'm discombobulated.

This book was definitely a page-turner especially towards the end the beginning was good but the end left right off with Jean Pierre's Eden story which lead into the lion and the mouse so be where you are going to be in for a full ride...I love the lion he's so masculine and dominant but he has his soft side two I can't wait till the book continues, I hope it out soon!!!!

20 Plots - No Resolution... NOT ONE!

So, I really like this series and this author. Book 1 & 2 were really good... BUT this one here... not so good. I really like the characters and the series. But I felt like I just wasted my time reading an entire book with half a story. There were 20 different plots and story lines less than halfway through the book and not near one of them had a resolution. I get cliffhangers, but this wasn’t even that.

Kaz and Em literally spend the entire book on vacation avoiding and ignoring the world crashing down around them. Not one issue was resolved... Nothing... I felt like this was just a steamy in between story to take up space in the series.

I’m kind of in my feelings about the time I spent reading this book, but again, bc I really like the start of the series, I will probably read the next release. I just hope I won’t be as disappointed as I am now.

I liked this book, but not the cliffhanger lol We kind of know what is going to happen in this story between the Mouse and the Lion if you already read Sonata, the second book in the series about Jean-Pierre and Eden. So that whole debacle with the things going down in Paris takes up most of the book. I did enjoy the parts where Ms. Wright really digs into the relationship and love between Kaz and Emily. It's passionate and all-consuming and I LOVE reading about couples like that! Like they truly were made to love each other. It's intense! Anyway, overall, I liked the book and how it tied in with The Butcher and the Violinist series and look forward to the next installment in this continuing saga.

A Vacation in Paris Gone Wrong and what a ride

Once large Mouse and the Lyon come to an understanding that their for each other causes them to need to get away and focus on each other. The storyline is exciting. Though they had great moments together but someone was kidnapped and the Lyon has to find answers because the mouse is also kidnapped. It sex and excitement what a story. I loved it!
