If you're looking for a romance that zips along with a voice that will transport you....this is a classic romance with just the right amount of swooon. The heroine Maisy is charmingly sweet and enjoyable to read but the real star is Alexei.......he is meltingly hot from beginning to end. This book has a strong voice and Alexei, with his larger than life Russian uber appeal, will leave you yearning for more heros like him......the ones that murmur "dushka" in your ear. I'm looking out for more by this author.

Innocent In The Ivory Tower
3 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback
As far as I know this book is the author's first and what a treat it is! I'm pleased romance land is leaving all those Greek tycoons behind and offering up the vey sexy Russian as our hero. This book sweeps you off your feet into a fast paced romance with two appealing characters. Missy is very sweet and a great foil for the super tough cool hero. I read this in one sitting with tea and chocolate and it was perfect......everything I was looking for in a romance!
ok, if its the authors first try

This story is about a nanny looking after a 2 year old who's parents have died and she is now responsible for the child until the guardian comes to claim the child.
The "guardian" is of course, super wealthy, great looking, standard romance hero.
While there are some good moments in the book, a lot of it doesn't make sense. For instance, the "guardian" arrives in the middle of the night with what appears to be a swat team to pick up the child. They comb thru the house from top to bottom but no one on the team finds the child who is safe and sound in his bedroom, they instead find the nanny in the kitchen who they are treating as some sort of intruder even though they are the ones who have just barged in (why wouldn't they just ring the doorbell? why the dramatic entrance in the middle of the night?). Of course it is up to the Nanny to rescue the child who apparently woke up from all the noise and had been crying a storm (that no one heard??)and there is no explanation given as to why the late night arrival (and I don't see how it added to the story). After the nanny explains who she is the hero seems happy they found "staff", who did they think was looking after the kid? or did he imagine the 2 year old was left alone even though his parents had passed away days ago?
In another chapter the guardian and nanny have their big getting together scene that happens in the morning, and yet the "nanny" doesn't even think about the child she is supposedly there to care for. I know kids and they wake up super early and more than likely will scream the house down to get the attention they are wanting, but in this book she takes her time and only when quite a bit of time passes (hours??) does she remark on not having checked on the child yet. Shouldn't that have been priority one?
There are also contradictions such as in one chapter the hero tells the nanny that she is fine to walk thru the house wearing next to nothing as his house keeper is used to him having females over that do just that. But a few chapters later when the Nanny is having doubts, the hero then tells her that she is special and that he has never brought any of his female companions to that house.
The Characters were also contradictions. The author painted inconsistent personalities of both the nanny and the guardian. (too much to go into)
If this is the authors first attempt, I would say it needs work but good try. I have read a whole lot worse. I hope the next book I read from this author will get a better rating.

Innocent in the Ivory Tower

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Really enjoyed Ms. Ellis first modern romance. Great characterisation and the story had a lovely pace and readability. The hero was smoulderingly gorgeous which is always good and the heroine was likeable. I felt slightly cheated at the end though. I would have liked a more climactic finish and an epilogue but overall I was impressed. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Ellis.
