Book Review
Title: Russian Teacher
Author: Flora Ferrari
Genre: Romance
Rating: ****
Review: The synopsis of Russian Teacher sounded interested and as I am reading a lot of adult fiction lately, I couldn’t wait to get into it. This book is going to follow Nina and Nikolai, who meet for the first time when Nikolai rescues Nina from getting hit by a car in Moscow where she and her father are currently living after a messy divorce. This meeting is significant because Nikola’s mother has been pestering him for a grandchild, but he wants to find the woman of his dreams and will know when he meets her. He definitely gets that feeling when he lays eyes on Nina after she tells him she needs Russian lessons he decides to set up and create an opportunity for them to spend more time together.
The attraction between the pair is insane and very quickly Nina has an accidental meeting with Nikolai’s mother and he also meets Nina’s father. The relationship is escalating but Nikolai is torn between courting Nina the way he should or just staking his claim on her as soon as he can. Despite the age gap between the pair they have a lot in common from their childhood, to what they want out of life, but Nina is worried that if her father ever finds out she wants that kind of relationship with her teacher then he will move them away from the only man that has made her feel alive, since her mother left them.
When Nina’s father might lose his job, it seems like they are going to have to leave Russia, but Nina doesn’t want to leave Nikolai. He comes up with the idea that he will give her father a job and even plans to give Nina a 50/50 share in his business as long as she becomes his, which she readily agrees to. The pair manages to give each other exactly what they need in order to live and not just survive like they have been doing.
The ending of Russian Teacher was great. This book follows a similar plot line to most romance novels, but I found the relationship between Nina and Nikolai the best thing about the book and if you like these kinds of books then I highly recommend you pick it up.
I received this review copy from Booksprout.
