A review by julgalla
Tatiana and Alexander by Paullina Simons
4.0
I'm torn on this. On one hand, my god, the repetition. I think a couple hundred pages could have been removed from this book without compromising much. There are so many flashbacks. Granted, some of them add to the story. There was material that wasn't covered in the [b:The Bronze Horseman|83144|The Bronze Horseman (Tatiana and Alexander, #1)|Paullina Simons|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327921996s/83144.jpg|12615171]. But there was also a whole lot of flashbacks that were just rehashing the first book.
The Lazarevo summer sex session was long enough in book one. My god, I didn't need anymore in this book. But there it was.
On the other hand, I think this author has a real knack for pulling you deeply into the story. I was devouring this book during lunch the last couple of days, and was pretty startled to find myself back at work at the end of my half hour. It was actually disorienting to be pulled back into reality from the world of this story. You know you're reading something good when that's the case.
For that alone, I'll error to the side of 4 stars for this one. But the rehashing for book one irritated me, so it's really more a 3.5 star read for me.
