RUSSIAN HEARTS is a three-book series of the Petroski family and their journey to find love. Delicious and atmospheric, they are all set around Christmas and straddle London, Paris, and St Petersburg. The stories have a rich and lush feel of old-world Russia and I hope have captured the heart of moody, strong, and addictive Russian hearts.

They can be read as stand-alone but your enjoyment will be increased if you read them in order.

BETROTHED: A RUSSIAN BETROTHAL
Book 1: Betrothed is the story of the eldest son, General Vladimir Demetri Petroski, and his childhood betrothal to Ms. Georgina Franklin.  A betrothal that was born out of a father’s deep desire to give his son the chance at a happiness he wasn’t able to find. This wish was lost when Demetri’s father passes away while Demetri is still too young to understand his father’s heart. The Betrothal is twisted into a family shame, a blackmail forced on the family by an opportunistic businessman and his family.  It is Demetri’s duty to restore family honor and have the betrothal annulled… until he meets the charming, clever, and delightful Ms. Georgina Franklin.

BEDEVILED: A RUSSIAN PURSUIT 
Book 2: Bedeviled is the story of the Petroski’s second son, Prince Vladimir Ilya Petroski. Ilya, the natural libertine, the rake, went to London with his brother to kick up a storm. His duty was to cause a scandal in the quest of helping Demetri annul the loathed betrothal. The trouble was, while he did what he did best in salons and house parties around London, Ilya finally falls in love. And instead of being free to win her, he is honor-bound to play the rake and in the process breaks the most beautiful heart he has ever come across. A year later, he returns and sets out to make matters right.

BEGUILED: A RUSSIAN SEDUCTION
Book 3: Beguiled is the story of Demetri and Ilya’s young sister Princess Tatiana Viveka Katerina Petroski, a woman set on taming one of London’s most renowned rakes – the notoriously handsome Lord Marsden. A partner in crime with Ilya during the year of the Betrothal, on Ilya’s return he brings his rather headstrong and astoundingly beautiful sister. Lord Marsden is asked to keep the rakes away, protect her while Illya woos the love of his life. But keeping Tatiana at a distance becomes increasingly impossible. The young woman has set her sights and is making it near on impossible to for him resist while both brothers trust him impeccably.

This book captivated me from the first page. It’s one I’ll not soon forget. Georgie is awe inspiring and her Prince, well he was a crafty and magnetic match for her. Elsa knows how to weave a enthralling story! It’s so good I’ve read it twice!

I loved this story and was swept away into the rich world Elsa created. With a sexy Russian hero torn between family obligations and trying to be a man worthy of the heroine’s love, it’s a must read.

This was a really good story and I enjoyed reading it! The characters are well developed (my pet peeve!) and interesting. The story world was interesting and believable. The writing flowed smoothly along and kept me engrossed in the story. I definitely recommend it!

Bedeviled tells the “other story”, the story of the rake brother to Dmitri’s good brother. And it’s a far sweeter story than you might think. Ilya falls in love so fully, so completely that he wants nothing more than to give up the charade he is playing. He alternately entices and overwhelms Seraphina. And then he grovels, and oh does he do it well!! There is less steam to this book than to Dmitri’s but I was rooting for Ilya all the way! I’ve also got my eye on a certain other gentleman who I hope might get a book of his own in the future.
Ilya is an intriguing character because he has a certain reputation but he is so much more than that. I especially liked his “hobby” and how it played into the overall story. I really liked Seph because she was in an awakening and she left Ilya help her with that. It was beautiful to see.
