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.
