The Blood Code is based around Anya Romanov Radzoya's lineage. She is one of three remaining Russian princesses. However, Anya is anything but your typical princess. She prefers jeans to ball gowns and sweaters to tiaras. Anya is an incredibly spunky character. She's very set in her ways and doesn't let anyone tell her what to do.Anya's grandmother is taken prisoner by the Russian President Ivanov. Ivanov demands Anyas presence in Russia at the nuclear arms summit. You soon learn that Ivanov has insane ideas of returning Russia to its former "glory" by using his and Anya's "pure" bloodlines. Ivanov is the perfect bad guy. He's insanely creepy and gives you the willys just imagining him.Enter the hero of the story, Ryan Smith. After meeting Anya while she's running from the police, Ryan agrees to help Anya find evidence against Ivanov. Under the guise of a pencil pusher for the President of the US, Ryan infiltrates the nuclear arms summit and lends his expertise to Anya's predicament. Ryan is a strong character. He and Anya butt heads a lot.Having read the previous books in this series, Misty Evans continues to deliver the fun, fast action and highly-entertaining I have come to expect from her books. Reading Ryan's story was great fun and I already know whose stories I would like to read next.In return for an honest review I received an ARC from the publisher.
