Loving me some sexy russian!! This book was by far one of Red’s best she has written to date. I felt immersed in the story. You could feel the emotions and the hardships, the kinky play and so much more!! Rytsar is such a complex character and Red did well by him. She told his story to perfection!!! Must read for anyone!!
Love it!!! This is book #3 The Russian Reborn by Red Phoenix. Yay!!! Finally awaited story of Rytsar Durov. Book #2 left off with the a cliffhanger that left me on the edge of my sear and my mind working over time. This story has torn at my heartstrings from beginning to end. I couldn’t put it down. Rytsar’s story tells of love, loss, anger, heartbreak, and a brotherhood/blood bond that can not be broken. What happen to him should never have happen even when he was a young boy and the cruelty from his father, made him into the man he is today. One that has a heart and just wanted more love. The relationship between him and his mother brought a smile to my face but than it all turned to tears. (Pulls out tissue). Than the bond between him and Thane is so strong. Thane knew he needed him and saved his life. What they share is so strong. Now I can truly understand how he is able to share Brie with him. It’s like they are one. Even the funny times with Master Anderson was what was needed. Great job Red Phoenix. Awesome read but be prepared for the rollercoaster of emotions. Now I’m drawn into his character and his life. I need him to find that love that he deserves.
Holy WOW!! This book delivered all the emotions, (and then some), that I knew it would. This book, “The Russian Reborn” is Rytsar’s story and I will admit that I had to put it down a few times to process my feelings of what I’d just read. I knew his story would be beyond emotional and Red Phoenix delivered this brilliantly.
In the beginning of the story we enjoy the good times at college with the young Dom’s and of course Rytsar has his Russian buddies that he often drinks with and boasts that he drinks them all under the table. He’s always the last Russian standing, lol. If you’ve followed this series from the very beginning you know we learned that Samantha did something to Rytsar to make him hate her. This is the story where we learn the terrible truth of what happened and understand the depth of hatred he has towards her. She is dead to him, but he knows that he would rather still have her alive than truly dead. Thane steps up when he realizes just how much Anton is suffering and finally gets thru to him that he will rise above this incident and become better than he was. All I can say is thank goodness for Thane’s influence because Anton was in a very dark place.
Rytsar heads back to Russia and we learn some more of the horrors he endured as a child by his father’s hand. We read through the loss of his beloved mother and betrayal of his brothers. Revenge is a bitter pill to swallow but this was completely justified and beautifully written by our beloved author Red Phoenix. Back in America once again Thane has a surprise for his friends. They are going to witness a auction at the submissive training center. That was so much fun reading about their first interactions with Marquis Gray and Mr Gallant. I loved that part so much and Rytsar is just not to sure what to think about the mysterious Marquis. That part had several ‘laugh out loud’ moments.
There is so much more that I’d love to write about in my review but I’d rather that you read these books yourself, if you haven’t already. They are worth every penny and so much more. I’ve said it before (in other reviews) that Red Phoenix has the magic that just draws you into the story with her characters. You become so invested in their happiness and sorrows that you feel like you are walking alongside them as you read their story. Thank you, Red, for another fantastic journey with our beloved Dom’s.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. I’ve been reading so many books lately with dual POV or more, that it’s refreshing to read a book from one character’s POV. The inheritance angle is an interesting twist. I love that Rystar has a family of his own creation, from the people around him, from the heart and not by blood. I loved the ending.
Looking back on young Rystar’s journey of what made him the man and dominate he is today sent me on a roller coaster of emotions. You know when an author has done their job well when they are able to do this and Red Phoenix has done just that. Starting with the joy of seeing him make new American friends which he could cut loose and joke around with brought smiles to belly rolling laughter. The betrayal from someone he trusted and the loss of loved ones that made him not want to live brought such sadness that I cried real tears. Seeing friendship bound to brotherhood and loyalty that will sustain him for a lifetime. To finally Justice being served. Oh and don’t forget those very hot scenes. Rystar rises from the ashes to be reborn. Don’t miss this incredible experience. I can’t wait to see what is next for Rystar as he continues his journey.
If someone didn’t already love Rytsar, which I’m not sure if that’s possible, this book will make you fall in love. Pheonix outdid herself telling us Rytsar’s story. He has a past filled with heartbeeaking loss, intense trauma, but so much friendship and love. This book was an eye-opening look into the events that formed Rytsar into the sadist we all know and love. You are in for a very special treat reading his story.
What can I say about this book is wow this book is so good …. Rystar Durov story is so emotional you will learn everything he went through through the murder of the love of his life, to the gruesome murder of his mother, You will also find out what happened between him and Samantha who I hate more now that I know what she did to him …. I love that Thane has always been the brother he needs and loves as his own brothers are evil just like his father was…. I love that Rystar got his revenge against his father who deserved everything that Rystar did to him….. this book will make you cry so have a box of tissues with you.
Wow! This book is amazing! Get the tissues ready this is an emotional ride. We get Rytsar’s college experience and his return to Russia. He just can’t catch a break. I just wanted to hug Rytsar and soothe his soul but he needs that pain and Thane to survive and I’m scared of that cat o nines lol! There are lots of hot steamy scenes and some of his mama’s sweet love and cooking along with the friendship of his college friends. This is a great read.
Rytsar’s story is full of twists and turns and ups and downs. From gaining a brother to the loss of loved ones in his life, this story makes you feel what he is going through. The history between Samantha and Rytsar left me in tears! Red, you know how to draw a soul into your books! I’m honored that I get to read them. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to read whatever comes next!
When I first started reading erotic romance, I never truly imagined that a part of me could ever be attracted to a sadist. I mean, what were the odds? Apparently, the way Red Phoenix writes a story the odds were sky high! Holy moly does this Russian dominant have me wrapped around his strong talented fingers! (Can Kindles overheat…asking for a friend. ;))
This series just keeps getting better and better. In this book, we explore the depths of what makes our favorite Russian playboy who he is. We see the good, the bad, and the broken in him. It is an an emotional journey that explores family, friendships, and shall we say…dirty fun. YUM! We see what makes our beloved sadist the pain loving man he has mastered. The agonizing incident between he and Domme Samantha Clarke is unveiled and made me want so desperately to hold, caress and just plain hug the heck out of Rytsar!! Yes, I know he probably wouldn’t have liked that and I would’ve been taken in hand and marked for his enjoyment. What can I say? He’s Rytsar and I love him just the way he is!
Red Phoenix is a phenomenal writer, and weaves a story that wraps itself around your heart for all of the characters of the Brie’s Submission series. I encourage you to start with that series if you’ve missed it. Then, jump into this one with both feet to really see what makes Rytsar, Brie, Sir Thane, Tono, Samantha Clarke, and Master Anderson the wonderful characters that feel like family to readers. There are plenty of laughs, swoon-worthy moments, kinky escapades, camaraderie, and soul shattering loves. You’ll love it! No one writes a BDSM series better. I guarantee it!
Red Phoenix hit it out the park with this one! Since the beginning of the Brie series and the introduction to Anton Durov “Rytsar” I had fallen in love! Being able to read about his younger life and the things that made him who he is, is such a treat. I will admit this book had me crying and laughing and it was the perfect mix of emotions! The camaraderie between Sir, Master Anderson and Rytsar is amazing. We should all wish for friendships like theirs. I highly recommend reading this series and of course the Brie series as well. I am sitting here writing this with the biggest smile on my face. Well done Red, well done!
This is a must read!!! I have spent the last few hours reading this amazing story where Red Phoenix took me on such an emotional rollercoaster. I went from laughing at the character high jinx to grabbing tissues do to the depth of connection and solidarity between friends. What Red’s muses shared allowed me as the reader to put more of the magnificent storyline in perspective. This book is definitely PLATINUM level in my book!! Thanks as always for sharing with us Red.
