Russian men are so sexy ...

Revisado: 12-23-13

If you could sum up Ivan in three words, what would they be?

Huge, menacing, sexy.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ivan?

His reaction to Erin offering herself as payment for his assistance in helping her locate her sister. Ivan comes from a criminal and violent background with no blood family and few people he can trust or love. In spite of this, his behaviour shows that he has a strong morale and although attracted to Erin is disturbed that she might think that he would take advantage of her in the circumstances.

Have you listened to any of Pinky Powell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The is the first time I have listed to Pinky Powell. She made Ivan sound really dominant but sexy, loved the Russian accent. Look forward to listening to her on another audiobook,

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. I had already read the Kindle edition of this book, so I knew what was coming, however the narration brought that little bit extra to it.

Any additional comments?

After reading Ivan I had no choice but to instantly devour for Dimitri, Yuri, Nikolai and Sergei, which I hope will also be released as audiobooks and narrated by Pinky Powell.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, this was a very good audio book which drew me from the first page.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I was unable to work out how things would progress, would feel that I had worked it out who the suspect was but then an event would happen and the story would take another twist and I would be confused again.

What does Derek Perkins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Derek Perkins really helps to round out the book and emphasise the dark and brooding personality of the main male character, Luca, as well as providing all the other characters in the story with personality. I was slightly perturbed by his voicing of Hero who seemed a little high pitched and breathy to me. As I found her to be quite a strong female character and thankfully not weak or insipid. However this could just be me, as having previously listened to all the other audiobooks editions of this author read by Derek Perkins, I probably subconsciously was waiting for a female voice with a Scots accent, which he does really well.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was particularly moved in several places in the book. However most memorably to some tension relieving laughter by the portrayal of Luca losing his temper with Hero within the confines of a church and his ensuing tirade liberally peppered with curses that he kept apologising whilst continuing to proceed with the same behaviour.

Any additional comments?

This book was entirely different to Kerrigan's previous books and as I had enjoyed them so thoroughly in written and audio book versions, I was worried I might not enjoy this as much. I loved it and was hooked from start to finish. I now eagerly await her next offering.
