Most Russian leaders have aspired to emulate the achievements of the two pre-eminent modern rulers, Peter the Great and Stalin, both revolutionary tsars, both brutal killers.

Unlike other books where the entire sequence of events occur within days, I completely fell into the relationship between these two which happens over the course of years. There was such a gentleness and sweetness that existed between the two from the first. OPINION: For me, the highlight of this book were the episodes between Logan and Ellie which occurred over the years. Although Logan feels something for Ellie, he knows that the sister of a member of the royal family is not right for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks - especially a woman he is supposed to work to protect. Now that Ellie has graduated college, she is looking to find someone and wonders if it is time to put aside her crush on her bodyguard. Set as part of a security detail to protect Ellie, Logan takes his job seriously, but over the years he has taken to liking Ellie - perhaps too much. James and Ellie Hammond met when her sister became involved with one of the royals that Logan is sworn to protect. I found the characters likeable and I found the book a fun read. ![]() ![]() FINAL DECISION: Sweet and enjoyable, this is the story of two people who have known one another for years until the time for their passion to be brought out into the open. ![]() 6/23/2023 0 Comments Steve jones johnny rotten![]() ![]() “It brings clarity to our decision-making and upholds the band members’ agreement on collective decision-making.
