“IF IT FEELS SO WRONG, IT HAS TO BE RIGHT“Oh, but there’s SO much more to come! NICOLAIBouncy under an unruly mop of hair, ‘dirty blonde’ I believe it is called, she bursts into the executive elevator. A pair of watery eyes, wet red lips and curves that set my mind on fire. A merger with her assets would be strictly against company policy. I should know, it’s my company. But we’re going to play … I should know, it’s my company. But we’re going to play by my rules now.
I haven’t given a thought to love in years but this feisty a young intern has changed all that. What’s on the table is going to be her. This young firecracker may be a data whizz but all I can think about is how her curves will yield under my firm hand.
LAUREL
He’s so big he takes my breath away. He’s so stern he makes me tremble. And he’s so off-limits that he really shouldn’t make me feel the way that I do. I definitely should not picturing him in any of the ways that I do.
He’s older, and it turns out, he’s my new boss. In fact in this corporation, he’s everybody’s new boss. But when he commands me, the feeling I get is so strong I don’t know how I’ll be able to resist.
Her’s too old! He’s too big! His demands are too outrageous! But when this ruthless Russian hunk feels how his little intern responds to his discipline, his cold heart melts and turns to pumping hot lava. No cheating, just a lot of warm love, and the endings are all guaranteed Happy Ever After.more
A quick read for light entertainment
The title of this book says it all. It is over the top. There is insta-love. The story was written well; there were very few editing and continuity issues in the book.
However, be warned – the descriptions of scenes as well as the words used seemed almost juvenile in its application. Not enough to totally put me off the book, but enough to pull me out of the story or give an eye roll or two or three.
I did not really believe the alpha-ness of the H and although the h was given some back story, it could have been much more developed. Even worse, the angst or stress points in the story was a real let down. These were resolved without much fuss or even a bit of emotion. Even beyond this, the resolution was so blah and unrealistic (*Yes, I know, we don’t read these stories for their realism. But still*) that the whole story felt flat.
Have an hour or two over the holidays that bore you out of your mind? Take a chance, you may like it more than I did.
A love story that ended almost before it began!
by sewsummore
Nicolai is heir to an international banking congloment, visiting the US to oversee a planned restructure of his recently inheirited organisation. New York was the last bank and the most profitable. On his first day there he meets Laurel, the young woman he has been waiting to meet, the woman who would become his queen. This was a quick read about a dominant man of industry, who knew at their first meeting she was the one. Facing opposition from within his organisation and Laurel’s father he wins over adversity to marry Laurel with her father’s blessing. This book started out well but moved too quickly for me to fully enjoy the story leaving out much of the details so important in a love story before an ending that was almost over before it really began.

This is the sixth installment in the Bad Russians series which focuses on the story of Laurel, who is a data whiz intern, and Nikolai, owner of a newly inherited corporation. I recommend this entertaining older man and younger woman read which has an interesting plot, realistic primary and secondary characters, instant attraction, and sizzling romance.

An amazing book six in the Bad Russian series! It is beautifully written with a well-developed, consistent, and engaging plot. The story line is intriguing, emotionally deep, funny, witty, and flows smoothly. The characters are likeable and strong and balance each other perfectly; the chemistry between them is off the charts. The secondary characters also add to making this book a really fun and engaging read. Definitely recommended.

The boss and the intern………….Fun Read
Nicolai Powerful is a fast-paced, OTT, older man / younger woman, insta-love short story that is a fun read. The story-line is enjoyable and the characters are interesting but there is not a lot of depth to either, so you just have to accept the story for what it is and go along for the ride.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is the sixth book in the Bad Russian series and is a stand alone story. I love these stories because it is always a strong, dominant Russian male who knows that there is One special woman out there that will totally complete them. They won’t settle for second best, but they will continue to grow their businesses until they are billionaires and waiting for their One. In this series, the guys are older, 30’s – 40’s and have since concluded that they may never find their One, but they still won’t settle for just any of the millions of women who throw themselves at these sexy billionaire Russians.
Nicolai inherited his father’s banking investment firms world-wide. He is now visiting each firm to go over their procedures and is able to streamline the business procedures so they are more effective and make more money. Now he is in the United States where they make the most profit, but they are also the most slack in how they do things. They give him a stripped down office to work out of and at the first meeting, there is an intern showcasing their new website and all the goodies packed inside that isn’t apparent to the user. The new site follows everything the user does, how long he is on each page, what he likes to invest in, and so on so that it can suggest other things they would be interested in. This technology hasn’t been released to their competition yet, because the intern is the creator. She also just so happens to be the daughter of their biggest client. The top officers all talk down to her and don’t want to rock the boat. One of the head dogs is coming on to Nicolai, whether he likes it or not. Her office is decorated beyond belief and has a complete suite including a Jacuzzi tub. When he meets the intern in the elevator, he knows she is his One. He wants to start making babies with her right away.
Laurel is an intern at this office. She has created the technology behind the new website that will revolutionize their business by bringing in so much more traffic, especially from current users. She is all bubbly and young and curvy. When she busts into the executive elevator with the big hunk of Russian man meat, she can’t help her bodies reactions. She knows who he is, but has to present at the executive meeting about the site. She really hates it when the executives talk over her like she is unimportant and that what she has to share isn’t needed. It’s okay, as long as Nicolai is in the room.

As Nicolai goes thru restructuring of his businesses, his cold and ruthless reputation preceded him.
Intern Laurel was an interesting mix to the plot. Bold, intelligent, and way too confident and sassy in her lowly role as an intern, she had no problems mouthing off to him and keeping him in line.
I liked their odd dynamics that seemed to intensify his passion for her.
A bit of office drama that was dealt with nicely as the dirty office politics and players never get close to fooling Nicolai.
Fast paced, sexy, easy to follow romance with lots of heat!

Fascinating! Alice raises the roof and levels the field, ramping it up, blasting this baby into a tailspin with staggering impacts. Mastering the ups and downs, weaving a cocoon so intricately and tight, drawing you deeper into this tangled web until everything else ceases to exist. Satisfying is an understatement, this little jewel is as riveting as it is captivating. Displaying well rounded scenario’s, solid and tangible, striking hard, ramping up the stakes, blazing this little treasure to life beautifully. Traversing the trials and tribulations, sharp twists and thin corners, testing our characters in ways they could have never anticipated. The chemistry sizzles from the pages and suck you in so deeply until you feel the heat and electricity thrumming through your veins. The characters are original and realistic with depth and qualities that are blend and flow into amazing personalities. The scenes are so graphically detailed it paints an incredible backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Fantastic job Alice, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
Wonderfully fantastic… The book was amazing… It had a lot of details and juicy scenes to it… The characters and their personalities match them perfectly… The plot and the storyline was very descriptive and amazing…

Russian business man nicolai comes to America to shake things up at the family firm. A intern, leaves a lasting impression on him from the start , so much so , he has to claim her. Great little read, I felt it could have been explored further but great for an afternoon book.
Nicolai Powerful is the latest release of the incredible Bad Russian Series. Allow me to assure you, that this is an impressive Author, has just released a completely compelling masterpiece.
He has waited his entire life to meet his match; his Queen, and Laurel fits the bill; perfectly. Little did this Intern know how her life would be altered, in the best way possible, when she locked her eyes with this gorgeous and magnetic man. Nicolai is so much more than powerful… He is perfect, in every single way & they were made for one another. All he has to do is prove it to her. I encourage all fans of superbly crafted, romance books, to follow along as these two not only melt your heart, but your Kindle as well as they find their happily ever after.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced readers copy of Nicolai Powerful in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion.
I highly recommend reading this publication, as well as anything written by Ms. Alice May Ball. Trust that you will never be disappointed.
Congratulations, once again, to Ms. Ball.
