Dr. Mikhaila Voyanovski Durand, the love child of French
actress, Simone, and Russian Mikhail Voyanovski,
International billionaire made rich from paper factories
and
timber holdings in Russia and the Ukraine, has her life
plan
just about set. Her job is great. She has a MBA in
mergers
and acquisitions, and her career holds promise. She is a
professor at the University of Southern California and
expects to be tenured shortly. The man in her life is Dr.
Landan Winslow Clark, a leading Cardiologist at the UCLA
Medical Center, who has asked her to move in with him.
She
is going to St. Petersburg to visit her father for two
weeks
and plans to tell him she has no desire to be part of the
Voyanovski Empire. She has other plans for her future.
She can almost see the house, 2.5 children, a dog, and
Landan in her not too distant future.
Mika's life is turned inside out when her father dies as
she
arrives in Russia. She is named temporary CEO of his
company but gets involved in a corporate deal that she
finds
exciting.
Her corporate rival is Jerome Michel de Villiers, a jaw-
dropping handsome, delicious, desirable, handsome man who
even has a french accent. He is known as Rome and has a
reputation as a rake, a seducer and womanizer. The
attraction between them sizzles from the first moment, via
a
long distance telephone conversation. He arrives hours
later using his private plane and they have a memorable
day
and night together. The settings for this romp are
luxurious and gorgeous: .glamorous Paris, stately St.
Petersburg, and idyllic Province. Ms. Mulry has a knack
for
descriptions, effortlessly transporting us with her
characters to these delightful locales.
The love affair has twists and turns. They meet
unexpectedly at a wedding in Provence and the heat
intensifies. Each time they meet the attraction grows
stronger. Their motorboat ride in and out of the canals in
Venice took my breath away and I have since, re-read that
entire chapter.
ROULETTE is my favorite read in a long time. The
characters
stay in your heart long after that last page. The simple,
short ending in the Epilogue has me racing to find more
books by Megan Mulry. This one was perfect, just like
Miki
and Rome. Excuse me as I now go back and re-read several
more chapters. ROULETE is good, so very, very good, Ms
Mulry.
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.
