Determined to be the opposite of her flighty, French
mother in every way
possible, Mikhaila Voyanovski Durand has built herself a
steady, safe life
for herself. Working as a professor in a University, and
dating Landon, a
cardiologist with a scheduled plan for their future,
Mikhaila, or Miki, as she
is known to her friends, is coasting along with no bumps
in the road. Very
secure. Very bored.
Travelling to Russia for her two week holiday with her
father, Miki's life is
turned inside out, when her father suddenly dies, and her
uncle Alexei,
needs her to step in as head of Voyanovski Industries, an
extremely
wealthy company. Miki struggles with the loss of her
father, with whom she
was not close. Determined to do him proud, she vows to
sort out his last
business deal and then head home to her real life. That's
what she plans to
do - and then she meets Jerome Michel de Villiers, or
Rome, to his friends -
the business associate she must hammer out this deal with.
Miki is instantly
attracted to his self-assured, sexy voice over the phone,
and is floored
when she meets the playboy in person. Rome feels the same
chemistry
whenever he is near Miki. Embarking on a no-strings
attached fling, Miki
plans to have some fun before she leaves Russia forever.
But what started
out as simple attraction turns to something far more
potent and Miki, afraid
of the depth of her feelings, runs from Rome and what he
is offering her.
Accepting that she cannot go back to her boring teaching
job, and her
bland relationship with Landon, she embraces being in
charge of her
father's company. And entertains the possibility that a
relationship with a
playboy may actually succeed. But what will Miki do when
she learns that
Rome is engaged, and is forced to spend time with him and
his fiancée on
her visit to France? With many misunderstandings,
smoldering kisses, and
misconceptions, will Miki and Rome be able to find their
happy ever after
together?
ROULETTE by Megan Mulry is an entertaining, sexy read that
I enjoyed
from start to finish. Miki is so afraid of being flighty
and spontaneous, that
she has settled for a mundane life that bores her. It was
really enjoyable to
watch her come out of her shell, and take control of her
own destiny. Rome
is known as a ruggedly handsome, arrogant playboy, who
does not take his
personal life seriously, but underneath that facade he is
so much more - a
true, generous and loyal friend, as well as someone who
can love deeply
when he knows it's right. The secondary characters in the
novel, such as
Margot and Alexei, really add to the storyline, and give
us an insight into
Miki and Rome's characters.
ROULETTE by Megan Mulry is a beautiful
novel full of pent up passion, misjudgements and self-
discovery set against
the magnificent backdrop of St. Petersburg and Provence.
This is the first
book I have read by Megan Mulry, and I will definitely be
reading her other
novels.
Megan Mulry, USA Today bestselling author and recipient of
NPR’s Best Book of 2012 (A Royal Pain), takes readers on a
sexy, stylish journey of high-stakes passion in her latest
book.
Miki Durand has always dodged the limelight. As the
illegitimate daughter of a French movie star and a Russian
billionaire, she craves a normal life—and it’s almost
within
reach. She’s up for a tenure-track position and has a
perfect-on-paper boyfriend. What more could a woman want?
But when an unforeseen tragedy knocks her off cruise
control, Miki finds herself leaving sunny LA for
cosmopolitan St. Petersburg. With the fate of her father’s
international business in her hands, she comes face-to-
face
with the ultimate temptation: corporate rival Jérôme
Michel
de Villiers. He’s everything she never thought she wanted,
and their sizzling attraction soon sparks into an
all-consuming flame.
Notoriously risk-averse, Miki knows it would be a gamble
to
fall for the sexy French playboy. But for the first time
in
her life, she’s ready to take a chance and let the chips
fall where they may.
