A Very Russian Christmas (Her Russian Protector)

Roxie Rivera-- she has definitely made her mark with these books. This gives the reader some insight into the stories that came before it and some preludes to the stories to come. All these Russian Protectors--- what amazing men that vary in degrees of how much of their lives is lived within the Russian mob and how many have attained freedom altogether. They are bound by brotherhood of the heart not blood, but it makes it that much more endearing since it is a chosen brotherhood. You will have a fantastic read with this book. The women that manage to steal their hearts are just as entertaining and created their own sisterhood. It is a family in the truest sense. You will enjoy all her books and then be eager for the next one.

This whole series is great. When I first started reading this series, I was a little skeptical because criminals are the bad guys, but Ms. Rivera managed to make these bad guys into sexy bad boys and the fact that they really hate what they do, but do what they have to do, endeared them to me. I can't wait to see what the future holds for these Russian Protectors :)

I enjoyed this collection of shorts but I would have enjoyed it more if it took place later in the series. I would have preferred to see Nikolai and Vivi together as well as Sergei and Bianca. As for the other sexy Russians who's books aren't out yet I was pleased.

It was nice to follow-up on some couples, preview new couples and get insight on others. Enjoyed the short stories. I would buy it again. I would also recommend it to anyone who is a fan of this series.

Love Russian Protector, especially Sergei, but this was a blantant rip off and tool to make money. Publishers should be shot and taken out to the "spot" and dealt with. The stories are rehashed from books and there was nothing hot or romantic about the short, boring catch up with Sergie. Don't waste your money on this one.

I've been listening to this series via Audible and absolutely loving it. A Very Russian lands between Yuri and Nikolai so of course I had to read it. It's not an audio book but that's OK.

What I love is that we got to go back and check in on Ivan, Dimitri and Yuri. We see where they are at with their lovely ladies and how each are spending a scorching hot first Christmas together. I think the story I loved the best was out of these first three is Dimitri's. Benny and him are going to have a family and just seeing how he is with her just made me love him more.

We also got to see little bits of what the upcoming books are going to be about, Alexei, Vasya, Nikolai, Kostya, Danila and Sergie. This was such a tease and I'm not sure which book I'm excited about diving into more. It's currently tied between Nikolai and Sergie with Vasya running a very close second or third depending how you look at it.

I am loving this series and I loved this book of short stories and I can't wait to continue with the sexy Russians. It a big 5 Stars from me....Sara

A VERY RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS is the latest instalment in Roxie Rivera’s Her Russian Protector series. There are nine short story/novella style storylines each focusing on the Russians and the men and women they love. Roxie revisits some of the previous storyline characters as well as introduces several more upcoming stories and premise.

With the introduction or ‘prologue’ to the 2014 release, Roxie has paved the way for a new influx of relationship troubles and heartbreaking love stories for the men and women we have grown to love. And be prepared for Vasya’s storyline-a change out of the ordinary.

If you are a fan of Roxie's RUSSIAN PROTECTORS, you don't want to miss A VERY RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS.

Although well written like all her other books, I would recommend not buying this one, if you have not already. All it does is introduce the couples again. If you have read all 5 books already you can do without this one. If you have not read all the other books in the series then this a good one to read.

This book introduced to me:

The Luxury Sleigh Ride (ALEXEI and SHAY) - new couple to me looking forward to reading their story.

From Russia, With Love, (VASYA and TY)- this couple was a shocker for me, I did not know there would be a Male/Male story. So will have to see what that one is like.

Nine Ladies Dancing (KOSTYA and ABBEY) - it was nice to be introduced Kostya's love interest.

Toys for Tots (DANILA and MACY) - new couple to me so it was nice to meet them.

Looking forward to the 4 new romances.

First, let's make it clear these are not novellas--they are an advertising campaign for 2014 future work. The scenes of Koskya and Danny were nice teasers but the rest are sometimes jarring if you've followed the series from the beginning. Lucky it was only 99 cents.
That said, it would still be a crime not to check out the rest of the series and enjoy the year to come. Hopefully Ms. Rivera will let her tallent continue to entertain us!!!
