The Romanovs #2
Weeping Roses
Our eyes met across a deserted graveyard.
The rain weeping on the thorny rose he tossed into the ground.
As the lightning struck overhead, I knew my life was about to change.
My inner voice screamed at me to run.
You have something he wants.
The sense of danger was more ominous than the storm, but I couldn’t run if I tried.
I didn’t know her secrets were included when I inherited my aunt's fortune.
Secrets are something this man excels at.
Valentin Romanov is his name and when he asked me to go with him, I didn’t know it was an order, not a request.
Now we must work together to discover her secret and he will only leave when he finds it.
I wasn’t prepared for him to come into my life, but his husky voice and obsidian eyes seduce, and his words of ruin and sinful touch would corrupt the purest of souls.
It turns out I don’t want him to leave, and now the game has changed.
Secrets are the reason he’s here and will be the reason he stays.
This time the secrets are mine to keep.
A deliciously steamy, dark, and suspenseful forced proximity romance.

The Romanovs are shaping up to be a wonderful series.
Slightly dark, dangerous and very desirable 🥰
The steam coming off my kindle made it hard read at times, but I bravely got through, and the book was brilliant !!
Awesome characters that really made me care what was happening to them in the story, a beautiful and romantic experience between the two leads. The writing was wonderful.
I can’t imagine where this series is going next, the plot has thickened and the brothers have got so much more work to do to find out what happened to their father and why.
I’m very much looking forward to more.
I was given an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review.

A solid read with a unique, interesting suspenseful plot.
The author portrayed Valentin's as an alpha dominate character. Poly's character is extremely naïve and very pliable. She is a loner who has no friends and few experiences with men or life. Her immediate sexual response to Valentin, a man that she knows nothing about was something I would have expected from a much younger character. With the loss of her parents in a car accident and being thrust on her own so quickly, I assumed her to be someone in their mid-20's and yet I found her actions to be that of a younger woman. She became Valentin's submissive quickly with little regard to what she was getting herself into. I prefer a MFC to possess more spine and strength. It seemed as though their relationship through the entire book was based upon sex. One moment she was chastising herself for actively pursuing sex with Valentine and one moment she couldn't wait to have sex. She constantly questioned her motives throughout the book as well as Valentin's but kept getting more and more dependent on him.
Valentin's OTT alpha character and his business approach to everything seemed overstated, but clearly defined his personality. He and Polly's character seemed more like a business deal vs., a love story until the final few chapters. He was definitely drawn to her submissive willingness toward sex but love and sex are two different things.
The rest of the book was intriguing as Polly's Aunt, Veronica's and Valentin's father Andrei's relationship is the focus of the mystery in book 2. Who killed Andrei and Veronica weeks apart? Their histories go back 35 years, when Veronica was 15 years old. I'm assuming that his marriage to Valentin's mother was either arranged or a forced marriage because of who the Romanov dynasty was at that time. Veronica and Andrei were obviously in love long before his marriage. Veronica's only mistake was failing to end things once he got married. We are fed snippets of Veronica and Andrei's story in this trilogy. I really wish the author had devoted more time to their story, even perhaps a story of their own. It appears to be a story where Andrei is forced to marry another woman which is not the woman he loves. His relationship with Veronica carries on for 35 years and leads both characters in a dangerous direction that ends with both being murdered.
Veronica was the person who the Romanov's felt had something to do with Andrei death. Book two hints that Andrei was the one that pulled Veronica into a very dark part of his life that got them both killed.

I like a good love story but never really felt connected to FMC and MMC. The whole mystery of the aunt’s life felt unanswered. I really don’t like stories that leave you hanging. I guess this is supposed to make you anxious for the next read. I will skip.

I truly love the Romanov series. Valentin is searching to find who assassinated their father. Romanov finds a clue connecting their father to a woman named Veronica.
Polly inherits her aunt’s fortune and the problems that come with it.
Oh how I enjoyed watching the fireworks, the banner, the energy and sexual chemistry that flowed between Polly and Valentin. (Scorching) There are plenty of panty melting moments.
It was a phenomenal adventure of love, heartache, mystery, murder and intrigue.
The story was everything I expected it and more.

This is a well written book with strong characters in Polly and Valentin. The author takes you into their lives with a steamy chemistry and some smokin hot scenes. She brings murder, mystery and intrigue and paints her scenes perfectly. I enjoyed and would recommend reading.

I really had to drag myself to finish this one. There were some good bits in the last quarter of the book but I still struggled to get through it.
I’m still not sure what it was that annoyed me, well except for the “sl&t and wh@re name calling shit. I think that might have set my mood to angry. It pissed me off.
I just can’t see these two characters together.
Also I wondered in the first book if the mother knows something. The children are conducting the investigation into their fathers death. The trail has lead to his mistress so there is no wonder they are not involving the mother. But what if she is involved! I’m getting ansty waiting for answers.
It better not be a let down and if we have to go through 2 or even 3 more books for the answers I’m not sure I’m going to make it.

The devil, the rose, the thorns.......
Weeping Roses is the second installment in The Romanovs Series, this time with Valentin Romanov in England in search of Veronica Scott-Stanley continuing on the family mission to find his father's killer.
What he finds is something else and he's ready to impose himself entirely in the life of someone until he gets the answers he's looking for.
Pollyanna Scott-Stanley is in a cemetery, on a rainy day paying the last respect to a family member she barely knew, having difficulty to process the fact that she's the sole heir to her recently deceased aunt, a woman of great possessions it seemed, when she sees an ominous, terrifying and absolutely gorgeous man approaching to send a weeping thorny rose to the grave, at the same time, summoning her to follow him.
This was a peculiar story, for the simple fact that Valentin and Polly were so different and on the very extreme sides of the spectrum in terms of personality and, perhaps, that was what brought them together in the end.
What started as, somewhat, coercion turned ou to be the unexpectable. It felt to me that what made them to become so embedded in each other was due mostly to the time they spent together, because nobody would get Valentin way from Thorn House or Polly, his only connections to the mission on hand, and in doing so they became accustomed to each other's differences, demeanors, strengths and vulnerabilities.
Although reluctant and a bit suspicious, Polly shortly realized she was better off with the commanding, powerful and harsh man that was Valentin Romanov than by herself because her Aunt Veronica Scott-Stanley left her to bear the dangerous secrets she had been carrying for a life.
For Valentin, aside from all the turbulence, frustration and peril his presence in England symbolized, he found himself in a routine he wasn't used to in the minimum. Polly was nothing like the women he associated with. Beautiful, simple, polite and genuine, Polly felt the rush of excitement in their joint effort for the truth as well as the dire circumstances, the fear and an eminent threat from every document opened, every letter read, any tiny thing uncovered. Together they found a bit of a common ground where working as a team and enjoying each other in private, special, intimate moments of wanton surrender and wielding dominance, meant more time inside the bubble of bliss they created for themselves and more moments about to become long-lasting cravings because living in the present felt too good to let go.
The future was certainly a sore subject, specially in their convoluted minds, because everything was too abrupt, too fortuitous, too new and something else, something in the way, something unique, one chance in a life time!
The narrative is very energetic in a total unconventional way.
The plot gets thicker and a dense net of mystery, unconnected dots and a lot of dead ends raises more questions than the ones answered, and the fact that an enemy is lurking near along with the feelings inside reluctant in getting to the surface, in a masterstroke that can very well be a plot twist, Valentin Romanov solves his two great problems at hand, Polly' security and his cold heart's chokeness when bearing the thought of ever being without the woman he was ready to 'sacrifice' for the answers he and his family seek and won't stop until they get to the bottom of the patriarch' secret life and affairs.
Russia is now the place to be and conduct the assignment,p because the search changed directions, once more, and Aram Romanov is the man for the job with an eye on the next target, none other than Marsha Steele's daughter!
And the saga continues....

We continue the search for the killer of the Romanov families father in the fabulous 2nd book of the series.
Polly finds herself at the funeral of an Aunt she has never met, having been named as the only heir to the woman's fortune.
She is approached by Valentin, there looking for more clues leading to his father's killer and determined to find out where Polly's Aunt fits into the mystery.
It quickly becomes apparent that Polly knows nothing but is also in danger from whoever is looking for the secrets her Aunt took with her to her grave. It seems there is a strong connection between the two dead people and it is somehow mixed up with an escort service they were both part of.
What begins as a means to an end, quickly becomes so much more as Polly and Valentin are thrown into the secrets and lies that surround both the deaths of Valentin's Uncle and Polly's Aunt. What began as a simple quest for answers turns into an inferno of lust and desire neither can escape. these unlikely lovers are going to set the world on fire as they search for the truth and realise they are destined to be so much more than two people thrown together by the death of family members.
When it becomes too dangerous for Polly to stay, Valentin takes her home to Russia, where the family regroup ready for the next phase in the search for the murderer.
This is again another fabulous read from Stella, so many questions still needing answers as we wait for what promises to be another amazing rollercoaster ride of lust secrets and lies in the next book.

The devil is in town....
and he is looking for Polly...
As the Romanovs are still looking to find the murderer of their father they need answers. And they want them from Polly bcs her aunt was in a secret relationship with him.
At the funeral of her aunt Polly meet Valentin Romanov for the first time. He leaves no doubt that he will not leave her alone until he lifts some secrets.
Polly is like a child in a fun park. She is so excited about the mysteries, the unknown, the adventure... it was fun to read.
It is easy for her to lift his mood but he is also there for her when she needs a hug.
Right from the start there was so much chemistry between them and it was beautiful to see how he falls for her and what he thinks of her. They are a perfect match.
The only anxiety point for me was at Harvey Williams.
Apart from that the book is also spicy, of course. ;)
I´m really curious to find out more about the fathers secrets and Burning Roses.
"Do what´s right for you because ultimately the one person who walks beside you every step of the way is you." There is nothing more to say.
Weeping Roses is the second book in the Romanov series. If you haven´t read Burning Roses yet you still have a few days left until Weeping Roses will be released. ;)

This is a simply wonderful read, terrific characters and story continue to hold readers riveted to story
This was a wonderful addition to the series and one that I had eagerly been waiting to arrive and I can say in complete honesty that it did not disappoint, I was riveted by the book and as usual left looking forward to future books.
Pollyanna had been left her entire aunt’s estate after an accident which soon appeared to have been deliberate and this has left a great deal of unanswered questions which are all too reminiscent of the Romanovs fathers’ death which had also been suspicious.
Valetin and Pollyanna are constantly at each other, he is always questioning her which is not going down well and this is causing her to become totally ticked off with him which he finds delightful The fact that he is able to get a bite continues to build his attraction to the fiery little imp that is so strong of spirit she refuses to cower under his questioning, she is quite a woman with a backbone he’d be proud of.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

The story continues in the search for Andrei Romanov's killer. This time we meet Valentin Romanov who prefers to handle the business side of things for the family but is sent out to get answers from the niece of Andrei's companion who he attended events within London. Polly is a freelance editor who is clueless and does not understand why she was left all of her aunts’ property and even lock boxes when she had no contact with her. The two work together in trying to solve the mysterious deaths of Andrei and Veronica while learning that things were not as they seem, and that love was not as it seemed. Polly and Valentin at first where not drawn to each other but in less than a weeks’ time they are married and finding they love each other. I would say there's not much of a cliffhanger but that there are still more secrets and unanswered questions to come through the remaining Romanov siblings in the search and truth of who killed of Andrei Romanov. Another great read Stella can't wait for the next book.

I’m hooked to this AMAZING SERIES! The Romanovs Brothers are definitely a force to reckon with in business but their alpha dominant personalities are extremely ADDICTIVE ! Valentin is the one you meet in this book and he definitely gets what he wants , when he wants with or without your consent. The investigation continues into his father’s untimely death, which brings him to Veronica’s funeral, mistress to his father. He also sets his eyes and paws on Pollyanna , neice to the deceased and sole heiress to her fortune. Filled with intrigue, secrets and lies, and suspenseful moments makes this reading extremely captivating! Stella is an amazing writer who knows how to capture your interests from the very beginning. She’s one of my favourite authors, and I’ve devoured quite a handful of her wonderful books and I still can’t get enough. There’re spicy and juicy and your mind will be filled with anticipation. Valentin’s and Polly’s connection is unexpected with over the chart chemistry neither saw coming ! A 5 stars 🌟 and more rating!

Loving the continued story of the Burning Roses, here we discover more details in this intriguing mystery.
I feel for the Romanov brothers who are finding out disturbing details about their father’s secret life.
Valentin is a real control freak but very hot with it.
It’s a good job that our FMC Polly is so easy going, a perfect foil for him. She’s inherited a dangerous legacy from her aunt, thank goodness she has Valentin and his brothers to help her navigate her way thru this..
The chemistry between Polly and Valentin is explosive, she are red hot together. Some great scenes between the two who are so compatible.🌶️🌶️🌶️
I’m desperate to find out the secrets discovered and how they link to the family. The secrets here give rise to more questions and mystery, can’t wait for the next book , such an amazing plot. As always Stella leads us into the next book which I’m mega excited for already.

Valentin is definitely the strong and silent type. Polly is a very lucky lady.
From the moment they meet, the chemistry is sizzling. She is a very good match for him.
I started the book and couldn’t bear to put it down, it was so gripping, i really couldn’t read it quick enough.
The storyline keeps you guessing and wondering if Polly will fold under the pressure, but Valentin carries her along.
I don’t want to ruin anything, but i like how between the two they gain some answers, but open up more.
The Romanovs are definitely very interesting and i can’t wait for the next book.
The only bad thing, was finishing the book.

It is 💯 a must read.
Weeping Roses eReview -
Don’t miss out! suspense, drama, steam, HEA.
Valentin certainly takes no prisoners what he says goes. Polly never expected to find someone like Valentin glancing at her over a coffin & a red rose & never expected her life would change immeasurably. As they both fight to get answers they end up with more question’s than answers. From Cornwall to Russia there are still a lot of questions to be answered & mysteries to be solved. Valentin & Polly have a long future together to come who knows where they’ll end up. I can’t wait to see where the Romanovs go from here. You will be as gripped to this series as I am guaranteed.

Polly is put in Valentin’s path and they are almost instantly down to each other. Both characters are well developed. Polly’s personality fits well with Valentin’s. This book follows the search for a killer from the first book in the series. A lot happens in the book that kept my attention. I read this book in one day because I was so interested in what happens next. I love how this book is interconnected with other books. My favorite thing about the book is that it has suspense and romance. I love Valentin and Polly together. Stella Andrews is one of my favorite authors. I’ve read all of her books; some multiple times!.

Having devoured the first book in this series, this book picks up the search for the killer. But this time the story centres on Valentin and Polly's story and boy is it HOT!
They are wonderful characters, you can't help but care what happens to them. Their chemistry is palpable and off the charts, they are perfect together and their story is beautiful and romantic as well as exciting.
As the suspense and drama keep building the brothers know they have so much more to do to find out what happened to their father and why. There were so many twists and turns my head was spinning! I couldn't put my Kindle down.
I’m eager to read the next book.

Polly and Valentin, intense chemistry, powerful attraction and each of the are able to push each other's button to perfection. You are seduced in a world of secrets, suspense and drama that will have your kindle smoking from the get go. When Pollyanna inherits her aunt's estate after her accident, nothing is what it should be and is mired in secrets. This story is the extension to the first one and the search for the killer. Fabulous edgy story that keeps you guessing and left me with a lot of questions which I am sure will be answered soon.

These couples are sizzling hot for each other and they aren't shrinking violets either. Now, Polly inherited her Aunts homes and this deepens the mystery into their fathers death. This brother is all business, at first, but Polly isn't afraid to talk to him and tell him off every chance she gets! Which makes for some very very steamy scenes. Stella never leaves us waiting long and once again gives the perfect blend of mystery, Russian style, and a very very hot yet extremely romantic and heart throbbing story that ends with the perfect HEA! These books should be read in order! I'm loving this family as much as the last.

The Romanov family saga continues. The Romanov family patriarch was murdered and his sons are still trying to discover who is responsible. The mystery is definitely surrounded by secrets and the Romanov sons seem to be making more progress, thanks to Valentin meeting Polly at her Aunt's funeral. This book is not only spicy, but also exciting in other ways. Cannot wait for more, there are still more secrets to discover.

There are lots of secrets and unanswered questions. Valentin and Polly become a great team, trying to find the answers. Polly is a sweet and kind young women but she's also tough and stands up for herself. Valentin is stoic, bossy, protective and appears to be heartless at times. But, as always, appearances can be deceiving. I'm looking forward to the next book to get some answers and find out what happened to their dad.

This was such a great read ❤️ This is Book 2 of the Romanov series with Valentin Romanov who is tall, dark & handsome and Pollyanna who is in way over her head dealing with a Romanov bent on finding information from such an innocent. Great story line and delicious chemistry from the characters. Another best seller from my favorite author 🤩.

There is so much suspense throughout the pages of this book that you won’t want to stop reading. I loved all the twists, tension, and sexual chemistry, I was riveted from start to finish. Valentin is so forceful he has so much confidence. Polly has such personal strength and intelligence, I loved how her mind works.

Loved this book!! Valentin Romanov is next to try to figure out what happened to their father and that means meeting Pollyanna but what he doesn't plan on is feelings developing, Pollyanna just lost her aunt and finding out she's in danger scares her but will having Valentin beside her help or hurt? Can they find answers together or is their more secrets?.

Valentin and Polly. There are secondary characters cant wait to read about. There are secrets abound that need unraveling. He has a way of antagonizing her which he really likes. While they try to work together to unravel the secrets they are totally attracted to each other. Loved their story but there are more secrets and couples to read bout in the upcoming stories.

A Mysterious Inheritance
Her aunt left everything to Polly. Unfortunately she also left secrets that Valentin wants answered. But she never met her aunt so how can she help him. But as more time is spent with Valentin and passions flare, Polly knows she will never be the same after being with him.
