Odette Stone made a good case for why her characters should not be together even while proving they should in the second book of her Vancouver Mafia series, Beautiful Russian Monster!
A dark adventure filled with suspense, this story hit the pages running. Ms. Stone created the ultimate broody hero in Viktor Mikhailov. With a past rich in intrigue his old life eventually caught up with him, catapulting him into danger and forcing him to make decisions with no ideal outcomes. Blaire Asterdam cloaked her strength in frailty, constantly shaking up people's opinions of her. Pushing herself and always seeking her full potential Blaire was impossible to not be captivated by. Subtle pitted against blunt, the nuances of Viktor and Blaire's evolving relationship were a driving force in this work. In many ways opposites, this pair found common ground and quickly found a way to see past their differences even as they discovered their shared trait of kindness. This couple's meaningful interactions and ability to see beyond their obvious circumstances highlighted this writer's adept writing. A wonderful job was done by the author of gradually pulling out the emotions and the truths from characters with vastly different communication styles. There was a very strong chemistry between this couple adding a nice layer to this work and emphasizing the depth of their attraction when sparked.
Odette Stone continues to wow her readers with her compassionate and insightful stories. The way she reveals the dimensions of her characters shows the connection she has with her work and translates beautifully to her audience. Odette Stone's Beautiful Russian Monster has set the bar high for what the rest of 2022 has to offer!
