House Rules

Her Russian Protector #1.1

by Roxie Rivera

It was the sight of a damp, rumpled towel on the bathroom floor that irritated Ivan's already frayed nerves. In the three weeks Erin had lived with him, she'd remembered to hang her wet towel on the bar only two or three times. After putting in ten hours at the gym trying to get his fighter in shape for the upcoming championship match, the very last thing he wanted to do was trip over a sodden towel left on the tile floor.

About the author

When I’m not chasing after my wild preschooler, I like to write super sexy romances and scorching hot erotica. I live in Texas with a husband who could easily snag a job as an extra on History Channel’s new Viking series, a sweet but rowdy three-year-old with Tetralogy of Fallot, and Bosley, our Great Dane with major mommy issues.

I also have another dirty-book writing alter ego, Lolita Lopez, who writes deliciously steamy tales for Ellora’s Cave, Forever Yours/Grand Central, Mischief/Harper Collins UK, Siren Publishing and Cleis Press.

This is a short free read featuring Ivan and Erin.
Ivan is fed up with Erin leaving lights on, wet towels on the floor, juice boxes all over etc and he decides enough is enough, things have to change.
This is a very short but sweet hot read.

4 Stars:

Now that was just a sweet and naughty scene.

Among some of my favorites. Outstanding literary work. The characters are well developed, interesting. The liked characters are likable and the hated are unlikable. The writing is captivating enough to keep you interested until the end and leave you wanting more. It has a fairly original or uniquely well-developed plot. The pretense and romance was well balanced and done with properly distributed amounts of hints, behaviors and chemistry. Not so much predictable if at all. Overall, loved it, I recommend reading!!

Short story about Ivan and Erin. Free read on Roxie's website. I read Ivan because it was free on Amazon, but loved it. I must have gotten distracted from reading the rest of the series, but after reading this short story (NOTE: there are a few other stores about Ivan and Erin on Roxie's website) I realize that I have GOT to read the rest of the series.

I gave it only 4 stars because if the length. Want more!!!

NOTE: Roxie Rivera also writes as Lolita Lopez who writes the Grabbed series which I LOVE!!!

I loved the whole series. This is book one, short and sweet. I love the Russian Protectors, they love and protect their women and put them and their safety above all else. The books however also have action and drama and absolutely riveting.

Great Series I recommend it, worth the read.

This one had me laughing. I think I'm like Erin, if that is what happens when I'm messy, that sure won't stop any time soon!

Short quick and straight to the point giving you a glance at Erin and Ivan's living arrangement with hot and steamy right from the jump.

[Serban Georgiana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un short-story in care-i regasim pe Ivan si pe Erin.
In cele cateva pagini putem vedea o alta fateta a acestora.
Sunt atat de "domestici".

Ivan and Erin have lived together for 3 weeks in this short story, but now they start to see things in each other that are driving them mad. Erin is proving to be a bit of a slob and for neat freak Ivan this is something he cant overlook , even though he would do anything for Erin. So he punishes her in the most pleasant way that only this alpha russian can do.

[Jeraca · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked seeing Ivan get frustrated with Erin about tidiness and just overall daily things that happen when two people first move in with each other. It makes them more human and relateable for the reader.

Gosh ! how is the pretty amazing !

House Rules is for people who...

...have read Ivan and liked that muscled, tattooed bad boy.
...like seeing couples after they find their HEA.
...don't mind a little spanking during their sexy times.
...get a kick out of how hard the big ones fall.

LOVED this little slice of everyday life with Ivan and Erin. They might have found one another and fallen in love, but that doesn't mean living together is painless. *thumbs up*

Oh my god. Erin pisses me off. Which is annoying, because you should never be pissed off at a character with your same name. It makes you feel like a self hater.

Reading this little shorty last night, it made me realize that yeah.. I just don't like Erin. She was so incredibly immature.

There wasn't really much to this story.

I do like Ivan. But I can't stand Erin.

[Shelley Chastagner · Rating 4 out of 5]

These are fabulous little extras that Roxie has placed on her web site for free. Being able to download and take them along makes them a perfect little gift. Being able to peek into the characters worlds is perfection.

I loved her series and all the books this I knew going in was an extra little info/juice from book Ivan. I don't know how to rate something on couple pages~ if you've read Ivan and series it's a cute extra lets say sprinkle on your dessert :0)

[Peni · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good short story tackling one of the issues while learning to live with another person you close to. I like how it comes from the male perspective when I usually hear it mostly from the female. Good job.

Recommended 14+ due to sexual themes.

[BookLover · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's short, not even a novella but you know what? It was free from the author's website and I was totally stoked to read more about Erin and Ivan. Hope she continues to give us these little glimpses.

Ivan - Erin is funny and cute couple ~~

you must read the first book Ivan before this ;)
I love this one couple

[Jewlsbookblog · Rating 3 out of 5]

What happens to naughty girls who don't clean up after themselves? Erin is about to find out when Ivan finally has enough of her messes throughout the house. This is a very brief, fun, and sexy scene between the two.
