#13), Her Russian Knight (Brie's Submission

Rystars story was written just the way I would expect his story to go. I am anxious and am praying the end doesn't end the way we are thinking it will end. Waiting for the next story. I love all these books.

Rystar is such character! He threatens to beat up the traitors who did not call him when Thane was hurt. The traitors are Doms Tono Nosaka and Brad Anderson. He had been in hiding to save his life and to be there for the birth of their child. However, he has had to come out to find out that a lot has happened.

He is larger than life. He is full of himself and loyal to the end. His initial scenes with Lea were ones that I had hoped would have happened sooner. Lea is my fave sub, and he is my fave Dom. So many unexpected tears! Facing one's fears safely is part of this sadistic Dom's repertoire. His kindness compensates for his boorishness at times. Passionate, angry, and deeply hurt. His past includes the loss of his two great loves.

He rewards loyalty and holds a grudge forever. His rendering of Brie's fantasy from the earlier books is still one of my faves, and he manages to make some memorable times with Brie as they hope for the best for Sir.

The bonds between Sir, Brie, and him are strengthened. The suspense builds as Rystar takes revenge on Lilly, Thane's half sister. His method of revenge is I found myself in tears more than once while reading this story. Rystar is as endearing as he can be annoying. Everything seems a bit bigger, wilder, and more colorful with this Russian.

He is a wanted man. He killed a sex trafficking maggot and rescued a female, but the Russian gang to whom the maggot belonged wants revenge. It is this that hangs over every scene in the book. When will they act? How will they strike?

And when the book ended, I had laughed, cried, felt heartbroken, steamed up by sexy scenes, and was ready for Under His Protection, the next book in the series.

I'm rarely speechless. But this book? Blown. Away.

I laughed, cried (several times), cringed, applauded, worried, remembered, shouted for joy, loved a black cat, and the emotions go on and on.

So much of Rytsar's past is told. So many insights to the man that we've never known before. Why he is like he is. And yet, it feels like there so much more to learn. And we grow to love Rytsar far more than we've already done.

Action packed. Hardly a dull moment. Whether Rytsar is in the hospital with Sir, or taking care of Brie (so many different ways), or hunting the evil step-sister, or interacting with other characters, or just living life, he's doing it in a big way. He is a rollercoaster of energy. What's not to love?

The storyline of Sir's hospitalization continues. And wonderful progress towards recovery happens. Brie is thrilled. As was I, the reader.

A favorite line of mine from this book is when Master Anderson states that Rytsar wears his heart on his sleeve. I never thot of it that way before. But it's so true when it comes to Rytsar interacting with Thane and Brie. Rytsar may be a big, bad, intimidating sadist of a man. But we get to see his softer side and it is endearing!

Just so you know, it's a doosey of a cliffhanger book. Yet it ends at a perfect moment. There's just so much more I want to read. And based on comments on FB, there's a ton of peeps feeling the same way!

Each book in this Brie series by Red Phoenix is better than the last. I wonder how that is when I think the most recent one can't be topped. Yet, every time, I'm astounded. How Red has an imagination so big is mind boggling. But I want to say thank you to Red for this incredible journey, and I cannot wait for more!

Bummer I can only give 5 stars....

Once again Red out does herself with another great book in the series! Could not put it down. And what a rollercoaster of emotions. This really makes you connect with all the characters. Especially Rytsar!

Another great installment in the Brie's Submission series. I hope it goes on forever. I love these characters more and more, and hearing their back stories and key events from their own POV is priceless to a Brie lover like me.

Rytsof Durov is one of my favorites; he is so hot and big-hearted just as he is scary. It's fascinating to learn more about his feelings toward Brie! My only request of this top-notch author is that she get on with the overall story now. We have relived the same events almost too many times. Please give us new plot lines.

Love!

I put off reading this book, because Ryster is not my favorite. I just don't like him, he makes possessive claims with Brie, but gets mad because Tono also feels a connection with Brie. Plus, I don't like his form of dominance. But, once I started, I loved it. He is annoying in his dominance, but you can't deny his love and adoration and protectiveness of Brie. Or his love for Thane. He is also a little funny. But I just love how no one seems to like Faelen. They all call him wolf pup, which I think is really funny. My other reason for reading is to find out more about Thane. So many answers in this book, about Ryster, Lily and Thane. And I loved the love story between the cats, Cayenne and Shadow. So cute! Anyway, great book Red Phoenix. Can't wait for the next one.

Om my dearest Lord! This book is amazing! I loved getting a deeper look into what made our dearest Rytsar Durov who he is, and how his relationship with Sir developed... but I also loved how he was able to deal with his feelings for Brie! Have to warn you, the ending will make you want to yell, scream, and hit something because is is another awesome cliffhanger! Can't wait for the next book!

This has been a long anticipated book within this series and we were not disappointed. Wow!! I have loved Rytsar since the first auction and loved reading about when Thane phoned him about Brie. There are many sides to this Russian sadist and throughout this book we see them all. My favorite is his complete devotion to Thane and Brie. We already knew he loved her and he more than proved it in this book. He is so confident that Thane will recover completely but secretly has thoughts of "what if he doesn't". Rytsar was very hurt over the fact that he didn't find out about the plane crash until a few weeks after it happened. It was his own fault that no one could contact him since he is dealing with issues from a past encounter that has come back to haunt him. I loved that he apologized to Tono for attacking him at the hospital and he's trying to forgive Master Anderson also. I could go on and on but I'd end up giving away lots of spoilers and I'm hoping there are some new fans of the Brie series who will read all of our reviews and start reading the series too. You will not be disappointed, you will grow in your knowledge of BDSM and you will fall in love with the characters.

Rytsar is the sexiest fictional sadist Ive ever read about and this book was one I was waiting anxiously for. This book covers so much that its the kind of book you need to read more than once. You will find things you missed reading it the first time. Rytsar has always been a bit of a mystery. We already know the tragedy that helped form the man he is and how he is still in love with Tatianna. We see sides of Rytsar that you may have suspected but werent too sure on. You see how deep Rytsar is in his devotion to those he loves. You find out just how much he loves Thane and Brie. This book gives you satisfation on some things and leaves you wanting answers on others. This book will make you happy, make you laugh and make you cry. This book takes you on a rollercoaster ride unlike any you have ever been on before. I'm talking rings of fire, down into lakes then loopty loops and back into the fire again and this repeated over and over. I was left teetering on the edge .... Now all I can do is wait.

If you have followed the Brie series right from the beginning, you know that Rytsar Dubrovnik played a vital part in Sir Thane and Brie's journey. First he was just a very good friend and soon became a third in their dynamic that isn't quite ménage, but more than just a friend with benefits!
I loved their connection and interactions right from the beginning. Even though Rytsar is a sadist, Brie evokes a different side in home.

If you have followed the Brie series, you were also going through a very tough time these last three installments and your trust in Red Phoenix was tested. And it's no different in Her Russian Knight. It's like in any strong relationship in this lifestyle...trust is a very vital part. And Red Phoenix demands it very much in this part of the journey.

Thankfully, she didn't shy away from telling the big sexy Russian's story like it is...raw, emotional, dirty, hot - even knowing some readers won't like what they read.
I loved this story very much and fell in love with Rytsar even more, if that is possible. His scenes are very well thought through and painful and satisfying, always making sure his subs are cared for afterwards. We learn a lot more about his past and what him the man he is. But every past has its ghosts. And being the man he is, it's no surprise those are hunting him til the very end.

On top of all this Sir Thane and Brie's situation has Rytsar jump into action and take control....of everything. His loyalty and trust and devotion know no bounds and he is willing to do everything that needs to be done to protect those he loves so deeply.

Red Phoenix has set a high limit for herself over time with her way to tell the stories and her writing style and she doesn't disappoint. It's the third season of Brie's journey and I still can't get enough. I need more and I'm absolutely eager for the next part! I need it badly. Real bad.

I have followed and loved this series from the beginning.
Heartbreakingly beautiful, Red Phoenix writes her characters with strength, loyalty and dedication and none more so than the big Russian himself, Rytsar has always seemed almost invincible ready to take on the world to protect those he loves. In this book Red gives us a deeper insight into Rytsar's past, his life and the heartache he has endured. Oh boy are you in for a rollercoaster of a ride. I have never felt that Rytsar really needed anyone to hold him as much as I did in this story. Rytsar's heart was opened to let us see inside, yes there was still the strength of the man himself but there was also a more vulnerable side to Rytsar, a side that isn't often on display, a past that made me want to fight in his corner I wanted to stand with him against the world. Have you ever wanted to reach into a book and just hug that person, tell them it will be alright that you will do everything in your power to help them, that's exactly how I felt after reading Rytsar's story. His story was beautifully written and so powerful such a turmoil of emotions, you will laugh one minute and be crying into you tissue the next. This story will stay with you long after you have closed the book. Honestly can't wait for the next book Red.

Her Russian Knight by Red Pheonix is the continuing saga in the journey of submissive Brie Bennett, now Brie Davis since she's married her hunky dom Sir Thane Davis.

This book is about Rytsar Durov, one of Sir Davis's best friends that he attended college with. As we learned a while back, Rytsar is a sadist, and he proves it at the beginning of the book in a scene with Lea. I was hoping for a connection with the two of them, as I'm not a fan of Lea's current interest. But as we soon find out Rytsar is in love with someone else.

When Rytsar finds out about a tragedy that has befallen the Davis's, two weeks after the fact, he goes on a rampage, wanting to beat on Tono Nosaka. So he goes to Brie and takes her into his care. He also helps deal with her stalker situation.

I have to admit, I was a bit shocked at the way Rytsar treated Lily, even doing what she did. Rytsar is obviously head over heels with Brie, which while it's sweet, I really wanted to see him with his own woman, not sharing on occasion with Thane. But we shall see how everything shakes out.

Rystar..........whats not to like? (propably his cat o nines!!) hahaha

This is his POV of the ongoing story-line but it is about both his past and present. He is a larger than life character. Not that he would admit but this man has a huge heart, BUT do not harm those he loves or you will definitely see his monstrous side.

This series really does get better and better. Even though each book in the series is telling the same story but from the different characters points of view it does not feel repetitive, it is bringing them to life. I am looking forward to seeing how this series moves forward.

Next!!

Her Russian Knight has completely stolen my heart! Red Pheniox brought the feels in a explosive all consuming read! I could not put this book down and read it in a little over a day! Rytsar has always been my favorite of all the Domaints! His all consuming passion completely captivates your heart! Rytsar's story will leave you breathless! Its a perfectly carved web of passion, devotion and angst!

Rytsar Durov is devastated to learn about his best friend Thane's condition. Immediately flying to the US to care for his "radost moya" Brie. But with all choices consequence's follow....

I am on pins and needles as to what's to come next. I'm finding it hard to form a coherent sentence after such a passionately devestatin story! If you want the feels Rytsar's story delivers that to the end!

OMG! So freaking hot! Brie's Submission series continues with "Her Russian Knight" and it continues to be the hottest, sexy BDSM series I've read. I love all the strong, dominant, protective Alpha men in the series. All the characters are well thought out, believable and perfectly described. The women are strong yet submissive, relate-able and enjoy sex. All qualities I admire. Red Phoenix describes so that the reader feels the chemistry, the pleasure and the pain, making you a part of the scenes. Grab this book, you'll be rooting for Brie, Thane and Rystar, too. Excellent. I loved it.

Oh this sexy troubled Russian is my favourite of the the masters, I always get excited when ever he makes an appearance this one was no different. The emotional roller coaster this book takes you on keeps you turning the pages wanting more. I can't wait to find out what is in store next.

love reading should I say listening of the kinship of Sir and his good friend. I'm sure it was a fantasy not only for Brie but for Sir. That scene was amazing. that and the Hitachi had me smiling I remember the first time I was introduced to that wonderful toy. it was mix feels love hate relationship lol

Title: Her Russian Knight
Author: Red Phoenix

5 amazing stars

The first book that I read by Red Phoenix was Brie's Submission, the first novel in the series when she released her first box set. The next, the second box set. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I haven't had a chance to read books 7-12 of the series before grabbing Her Russian Knight, and yet at the same time, I'm almost glad that I hadn't because I had fallen in awe of Rytsar, the Russian sadist Dom that was Brie's first auction winner. I was always curious to find out who he really was, how he thought, what shaped him and most of all, if he'd ever find someone worthy of his love and devotion after what Samantha had done to him during his college years and then later when they met again. This novel answered those questions and then created more.

4.5 sexy dreams

I cried. Unashamedly cried my heart out - for Brie, for Thane and especially for Rytsar. For everything they went through and everything I know that they'll got through because this just can't be the last time that we see either of these three, their bond simply too deep and strong to ignore or not want to know more about. The last thing I ever expected was to feel this way, entirely too unbalanced and suffering from one of the biggest book hangovers I've felt in quite some time, but this is one story that I'm more than happy to know was written and explains so much about these characters than guessing could have done.

This is a fantastic story and it played out beautifully. Had everything I could have wanted. My only problem is waiting for summer for the story to continue. This is not a stand alone. You need to read the whole series and you will not regret a single moment spent doing so. Amazing writing that will introduce you to a group of characters you will never forget.

I waited for months for this book. Rystar has been my favorite character in this series. I cried so many times reading this book. But rystar and shadow were great I loved that shadow took to rystar the way he did. Brie seems so much better with Rystar with her I truly believe she loves both rystar and sir fiercely. I can't wait for the next book. This series of books has truly changed me in so many way I can't put into words.

I loved it ....... You learn alot about Rytsar life .... it leaves you in a cliffhanger and I cant wait for the next book ....... I love the whole Brie Series if you haven't read it you should start with the first and read the whole series you will not be disappointed.......

An amazing story from an author I am fast becoming a huge fan of. I love the history lessons you get while reading these books. I am definitely a fan of the Brie’s submission series and you will be too.

I hate cliffhangers but at least the next books are waiting to be read. I love this series and would give all of the books a 5++ rating. This dom will give up his life to protect his friends. This is a book of love, deep friendship, loyalty, and hope.
