Ivan "Vanya" Kirillovich Pravdin is doing everything in his power to keep his involvement with his father's business separate from his budding relationship with Persephone Peterson. Vanya is convinced she's the love of his life and he'll do whatever is necessary to keep her. Unfortunately, it seems Persephone has secrets of her own that are making a normal relationship impossible.
Persephone Peterson never imagined she'd experience love like this. Her time with Vanya is the happiest she's ever been. Too bad his father is set on extorting her biggest secret. Persephone's past is putting her at a crossroads. Will she and Vanya be able to stand strong?
I love a strong heroine. I'm elated that the author understands the differences between a submissive in the sheets and a submissive in daily life. Percy is one amazing character and I love the dynamic between her and Ivan. Smart, beautiful, and knows her way around a knife? Yes, ma'am!
Girlllllllll shabookie this is something else... don't have time for much more because I need to know what the hell this percy is hiding and it better be good.
BW/WM. Excellent plot and characters. Hero is a Russian who loves his woman. One of the best books that I have read for a while. Lots of very descriptive sex. I enjoyed that the heroine is no shrinking violet. I highly recommend this series.
I really like this story, but there is some stuff that is happening here that I don't quite understand. Since I haven't read the final installment in the series, I won't comment too much because I could be jumping ahead in concerns that are completely unfounded.
That said, I really enjoy these two characters. They are really developing well and I like where the story is headed, even though I think it's a little out there. I'm hoping that by the time everything is wrapped up in the third book that it hasn't gone too far out there because that would change my whole feeling on the series.
As books go, it could have been edited better edited and that front cover is worse than the last one. I can say that the scenes in the book are perfectly filthy. Vanya has one of the best potty mouths going. I highlighted a number of scenes from within the book since they are definitely ones that I would like to revisit.
Even though this book is twice as long as the firsts one, it's just as good, if not better. There is certainly a heck of a lot more sex in it, so if you're in it for that. You won't be disappointed.
This series was awesome, read the whole thing in 3 days! How awesome was it? I used my free Prime selection at the beginning of the month so that I could read the ending! And probably would have paid for it if I had to!
Vanya and Perry's love would absolutely not be denied! I admit that the names, different plots, and # of characters confused me, but they had to be in order to tell the story right, and the author delivered! I would have liked to have seen more of the inter-racial aspect of their relationship, but it was fine the way it was written: part of the story but not overkill. The erotic scenes were great and demonstrated their love. They were intense yet realistic, not pornographic. Not fit the faint of heart for sure!!
I'd love to see more of them, as well as other characters, in future writings. There certainly are enough plots to make it happen! Congratulations to the author on an exciting and captivating love story!
I think I may have found another great,must read series.Crossroads is a very good read indeed!. I absolutely Love Vanya and Percy.This book has it all,suspense,love,great sex, drama, and a little surprise.I could not put this book down!Great follow up to Full Circle.I loved it. I am usually a person who sticks with Authors I am familiar with, I saw this series on my Amazon recommendations, read some reviews and decided to to get the 1st 2 books in the series( they where Free at the time).. Boy am I glad I did.I will be start book 3 ASAP! I hope this series continues for a long time!
Book 2 picks up directly where book 1 left off. Vanya and Percy continue to cement their relationship and this story spans a few years. We know that at some point they become estranged and I waited for clues. Vanya is so in love with Percy that it is almost painful. The book has some violence, humor, intrigue, secrets and INTENSE passion. As this story ends, Percy is about to come clean….I thought it was funny that she is about to share her secrets in the shower….so cute!
I absolutely love this series. Vanya and Percy were totally made for each other. Their past were so different, but oddly so similar. They couldn't fight their love and attraction for each other, even if they wanted to. These books had a very few chapters, but they were so pact with information that it felt like a long book. No details were left unturned. This book was the first book in the series and showed how Vanya and Percy came to be. I hurriedly ran book two and three. Book two showed how their love and relationship grew. They discovered their lives, and Percy was able to finally let herself love someone else. Vanya helped her to love her extended family. Book three brought everything full circle. Percy's story was told, and the reasons for their separation was revealed. In the end, Vanya and Percy got their HEA, because they belonged together like peanut butter and jelly. I for one was happy about it. I highly recommend the series.
Their love is now in the open and everyone knows they are a couple. There is lots and lots of heat in this whole series and in this book in particular. The couple have a great year getting to know each other better and spending quality time with each other. A lot more twists and turns in book 2 until things come to a head at Ivan’s sisters wedding. Ivan’s father and another stranger put Percy on blast that she has secrets that certain people want which puts her life as well Ivan’s life in danger.
Interesting, but the plot is just a very weak vessel for sex
Interesting, but the plot is just a very weak vessel for a lot of sex scenes. I wish the guy wasn't quite so whipped and the conflict of a Russian boy fighting his family to date a black girl was embraced in character development. So many mundane details about things that didn't move the plot forward, yet very poor character description detail. I started this story on literotica so if it was further developed -my apologies because TLDR
Well the saga continues into the life of Vanya and Persephone. Even though their loved continued to blossom, more complications and secrets are yet to be revealed.
The author does a great job of keeping the reader engaged in the story. The characters personalities are so evident that I found myself intensely disliking Vanya's father.
In this book there is a deep secret going on that a few people know about and others that need to know, don't. I really Love the chemistry between Vanya and Percy. It seems nothing can come between them, but this secret. I think others will enjoy this book. It is a book that I will recommend to others.
The passion Percy and Vanya have is the most intense of any couple I've read. Vanya is so in love with her and is determined to make her love him despite their differences and his controlling father. All anyone wants is that special person to love and the alpha in Vanya is no different.
The characters from the first book return and are still interesting but this book needs editing and the sex scenes lengthen the book but don't really progress the plot. I still enjoyed the story just not as much a the first.
this series just gets better and better. the scenes are out of control and makes me late for work each day but so worth it. i can't wait to read the final book but sad it will end at same time. blake haugen will be added to my list of fav authors.
2,75 stars. The writing is okay, I just should not have gotten this book, It was beyond me. Accidents happen and people press buttons that they should not.
