Nikolai by Roxie Rivera
5.0
Okay, I read all of the books in less than a week, so in a way, I'm rating both Nikolai and the series at the same time.
This is the first non-fantasy adult series I've ever read. I've read things like Black dagger brotherhood, Immortals after Dark, Women of the Otherworld, Lords of the Underworld etc... and I feel like this was on par, or perhaps better than those books.
The intensity, chemistry, and attraction was there between all the couples, even without the added fantasy component. The guys were protective without being controlling. They trusted their partners without stepping in. They were sweet and sexy and FUN to read about. And the sex scenes. WOW. Rivera sure has a way with words. This series is way up there in the adult genre.
As for Nikolai, I would have to say that Vivian and Benny are tied as being my favourite ladies. Vivian was headstrong and assertive and stubborn. She made her opinions clear and didn't let Nikolai boss her around. I really liked the part where she gave up the painting in order to protect Nikolai, because even though Nikolai said it was fine, it was a nice bit of compromise going on there between married couples. And the fact that she didn't give it up in the first place. I liked that.
More people need to know about this series. Like seriously. I don't understand how this isn't on any of the bestsellers list.
