If it wasn’t for the fact that a good friend had asked, Mischa Richter wouldn’t have gone to the bar that night.  Mischa was supposed to hook up with a new sub in town, but when he introduces himself to the likely submissive, he realizes his mistake.  Tom is both offended and intrigued with the stranger.  Once the embarrassment subsides however, they agree to explore the night together, in bed.

Mistaken identity, providence or karma, take your pick as Mischa and Tom begin a journey neither planned on.  Mischa is a 40 year old investment whiz while Tom is a 26 year old grad student.  An odd couple perhaps, yet somehow they mesh perfectly.  The highs and lows, all are explored by the men as they learn how to achieve perfection in Mischa’s private playroom.  Their relationship will be tested in ways they never imagined. Through it all, Mischa and Tom challenge themselves and those who think it will never last.

A Russian Bear hits the bull’s eye with a perfect blend of love, tragedy, and redemption.  This character driven tale sizzles with passion and emotion while daring readers to understand what drives their sexuality.  Incredible, steamy hot BDSM scenes are explored by the couple.  Happiness and sorrow are dealt with in equal measure.  A Russian Bear has heart and soul, plus it is so spicy you will find yourself squirming in your seat.  I Joyfully recommend A Russian Bear.
