Rate this book
Volume I, Part 3. All Lord Mink's attempts to tame his pet, the notorious Riki the Dark, have failed. The rebellious mongrel has run away. Where will he go? And will Iason find him? Find out what happens next in the final book of Kira Takenouchi's Volume I trilogy, Taming Riki. Note from the Author: Thank you to Rachel Livingston from DMP for permission to publish Taming Riki. Rieko Yoshihara and DMP retain the copyright for the original series Ai no Kusabi, which Kira highly recommends you read prior to, or in conjunction with, Taming Riki. This is not the same book as Ai no Kusabi, the original inspiration or idea for the series. The world and characters of Taming Riki are vastly different, and the book contains a Glossary of Terms and a Guide to Taming Riki to help you keep track of the characters. The book is also quite graphic. But this is more than just a smut novel; there is a story here. Part of the appeal and popularity of Taming Riki is its use of vivid descriptions and ability to make the world come alive. It will draw you into its world and you will not want to come back. PRINTING NOTE: These books are made available to you by a process called print on demand. Your book will be printed as soon as you order it and then delivered to you. Before, Taming Riki was only available at ridiculous prices like $100 on eBay. Now we are finally able to bring the series to you again in print at affordable prices. NOTE: This book is not intended for children. It contains adult content including intimate and graphic sexual encounters between males. It is of the genre called YAOI, which is especially popular with females, though is developing a following also among men. This book also includes elements of science fiction.

I've waited a long time for this book so I was thrilled to finally receive it. I just got it yesterday and read it cover to cover. What an exciting climax! I loved it, though I felt this book read a little differently than the first two books of the trilogy. For one thing, there was less punishment in it, but this made sense to me and personally all the punishment in the series was not something I was too fond of. I thought the tone in general was a little more serious than the previous two books but there were also some really funny parts. This was a book that made me laugh, cry, tremble, and even jump up and shout in several places, I was so wrapped up in the story. You don't find many books that make you do that.

This has to be one of my all-time favorite series and I'm so glad Takenouchi released this final book, which I thought for a long time wasn't going to happen, and I hadn't availed myself of the free first draft she had available on her site because I wanted to wait for the actual book. In the preface to the book she says that this book is different than what's available online anyway. I might take a look at the old version to see how that one reads, compared to this one. But all in all, a wonderful, delightful read. I'm so happy Takenouchi is continuing with all her books because I adore her writing.

Kudos, Ms. Takenouchi!
