| Katerina Pavlova is the daughter of Moscow’s best jeweler and she has inherited his abilities. But when a wealthy prince brings tragedy to her family, Katerina flees Russia with her remaining family and their wealth. Once in London, Katerina presents herself as Contessa de Salerno, a woman all the men yearn to bed. One of those men is Prince Drako. But Katerina believes Drako to be the prince that destroyed her family and she’s determined to exact her revenge. Drako learns of her secret identity. He offers to protect her identity if she would become his mistress. But an enemy has targeted each of them and forces Katerina to choose between revenge and love.
What an amazing story. Ms. Grasso starts the book with an explosive opening scene, which is just the beginning. It kept me on edge throughout, wondering who it was and what had happened. Between the action and Katerina and Drako’s attraction, I did not get a chance to catch my breath. I couldn’t put the book down until the very end, desperate to know the outcome. Impeccably written, exciting action scenes and arousing love scenes will keep your heart rate up and your interest peaked. When it comes to books that include Russian Royalty, Ms. Grasso is the queen. Her sexy Russian Princes take the cake when it comes to dream men. Not only are they exceedingly sexy, but they are smart, charming and royalty! What woman wouldn’t love to be swept off her feet by a prince? All of the characters are exceptional and unique. I absolutely adored all of the Princes and Katerina is a woman we can all relate to and aspire to be as strong as she is. Her love and devotion to her family is commendable. The teasing between Drako and all his brothers is side-splitting hilarious. If you enjoy historical romances that involve sexy Russian royalty and strong-willed women, which also has a bit of a mystery, you will greatly enjoy this book.
