Review: Appetizers by Ivan Rusilko

Appetizers by Ivan Rusilko
Bex's rating: 3 of 5 Fairies

 Appetizer’s, book one in Ivan Rusilko’s series is an enjoyable read. The romance is sweet, yet not overly heavy. It’s classified as erotica but it’s much more sexy romance, rather than hot and heavy.

The characters are easy to follow and at times fascinating to read about. We discover a lot about the character Ivan in particular, though I didn’t feel as though I got a true sense of who Jaden was. The author only really scratches the surface with her character.

 Ivan is absolutely dreamy, although a little too perfect maybe to sit comfortably. The plot develops at a solid pace, and made me laugh and smile at times. It’s definitely as series I’ll be popping on my to-be-read list.

SynopsisRecently named executive chef at one of Miami Beach’s hottest restaurants, Jaden Thorne is determined to make her culinary mark and fulfill her professional dreams. When Jaden is given highly coveted tickets to the ultra-exclusive Winemaker’s Dinner, she jumps at the opportunity to meet South Florida's wealthiest and most influential food and wine enthusiasts.

Jaden’s eyes are drawn to the VIP section even before the appetizers appear, but she soon finds herself thinking less about networking and more about the intriguingly sexy stranger eying her from across the room. After dinner, what begins as a light-hearted flirtation unexpectedly catapults into a night of explosive passion. But when morning dawns, Jaden leaves her sleeping Mr. Oh So Sexy behind, sure they’ll never see each other again.

Dr. Ivan Rusilko, a handsome, young physician, boasts an extensive resume’ and a well-established position on Miami Beach’s social scene. But despite his success and glamour, he’s routinely had to suffer uninspiring dates and doomed relationships. With a romantic heart, Ivan’s not the love-‘em-and-leave-‘em type. But when he awakens to find that the girl in the red dress has done exactly that, he resolves to find her--only if it’s just to ask why she left without even a kiss goodbye.

The Winemaker’s Dinner is a fictionalized erotic memoir inspired by the romantic triumphs and tragedies of Dr. Ivan Rusilko’s real life. Weaving fact with fantasy, authors Everly Drummond and Dr. Ivan Rusilko have gifted readers with a swoon-worthy flesh-and-blood romantic hero and the intoxicating bouquet only a heartfelt tale of passionate love can create.
