Review: A surprising and addictive read

My first time reading this author's work and it won't be the last.I'm glad I started off with the chronicles before the romancing (Dimitry's closet etc).  Many times, the books are written from the female's POV and one rarely gets a glimpse as to what makes the man, especially the Alpha male.  it was very refreshing to see this book entirely from this character's perspective.  You are there in the front row to "see" why, how and what makes him tick to become the man he is.  I was really hooked!The characters and plot were very well developed and at times, the story tugged at my heart (Catherine's end, Elsa's emotional state in Prague).Ivan - boy oh boy, do I see a Junior Ralph Cifaretto (sopranos) here.  And I only say junior due to Ivan's age.  He is a piece of work that you love one minute and detest the next.These books would make a great mini series; calling "HBO.......".Only reason I did not give it 5 stars - the typos and gramatical errors.  It got really, really frustrating having to stop and reread a section with the correction in your mind.  I will continue to support this author.  I'm about to start Dimitry's Closet then jump back to chronicles V.  Hopefully 6 and the rest will be released soon.
