5/5* I've never enjoyed a book that was so short. They always lack emotions, story and finesse. But NOT THIS ONE! I LOVED IT!! It was short but so good. I love that we are given an impression of a strong, dont-mess-with-me kind of guy,Ivan, but not once do we see him as a jerk or disrespectful like strong, hot heroes of other books. I loved it! Did i say that already? And the heroine is also great, without the 'poor-me' or 'I-dont-deserve-him' or 'Im-too-good-for-him' attitude that you find in some books. 
 Also,on a completely diff note, I love that my other fav. characters like Dimitri also get their own books and yet it's not farewell for Ivan because I see an 'Ivan book 2' on the horizon. 
 Now, time for Demetri(not Belikov, because I could never forget the first Demetri i ever have and ever will love)'s book and a lil birdie told me...It's BETTER!
