Russian Royals of Kuban #4

by Bronwyn Scott

Princes des steppes TOME 4

Sussex de l’Ouest, 1824

Anna-Maria, chez lui ? Stepan n’en revient pas. La princesse du Kouban s’installe avec lui sous prétexte de l’aider à gérer son domaine tandis qu’il se consacre tout entier à son commerce. Le message est clair : la jeune femme cherche à se rapprocher de lui. Il a pourtant tout essayé pour mettre de la distance entre eux et lui résister car, il se l’est juré, il ne peut pas séduire la sœur de son meilleur ami. Malgré les sentiments sincères qu’il éprouve pour elle, il n’est pas l’homme qu’il lui faut. Cependant, il lui est bien difficile d’ignorer le regard à la fois tendre et brûlant de la jeune femme. Mais il le doit, s’il ne veut pas causer son malheur…

Reviews

[DarkAthena59 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Après un début que j'ai trouvé un peu laborieux, Anna étant un peu lassante, l'histoire prend une tournure plus active jusqu'à la fin, un peu précipitée et abrupte à mon goût. J'aurai aimé en savoir plus sur le sort de certains personnages. Un épilogue global de la série aurait été bienvenu. Une lecture agréable.

Anna Maria Petrova and Prince Stepan Shevchenko

a very compelling story of a young woman falling in love with her brother's best friend while he's trying his best NOT to fall in love with her. Stepan has become a smuggler and its become harder to get his goods into England when a new captain is making it impossible and wants to make him an example. He's cunning and goes above the law to get what he wants and he's not afraid to use force if necessary.
Creative ending and a nice conclusion for this story and series. The author had me reading late into the night because I couldn't put it down and wanted to finish it because it got so exciting towards the end.

This was such a great closure to the Kuban series. Anna's story of her struggles of growing up under the harsh hand of her grieving father added to the desire to be a young independent woman made for and interesting mix of wild moments. Stephan in the previous books was just there, being the voice of reason, finally is put to the challenge and like any stubborn horse is finally broken. I enjoyed to overall story. The element of suspense, fun, romance was well balanced.
