louvejita 's review for:
Kissing Tolstoy
by Penny Reid
Anna Harris is a self-proclaimed nerd who studies electrical engineering, loves puzzles, trivia and books, more specifically, the great Russian novels. When she finally manages to snag a spot in a highly coveted Russian Lit class over the summer, the last thing she expects is to come face to face with the man she met on a blind date and ran away from months before.
Luca Kroft is an indecipherable man. He teaches in a three piece suit and a bowtie, but he also rides a motorcycle and is as brooding and mysterious as the characters of the books he teaches about.
This is my first venture with this author and I have to say I fell in love with these characters. Anna is strong and confident in her own skin and will stand her ground to unpredictable Luca until she is not while Luca is so restrained it hurts. I loved her passion and their chemistry and found the book deliriously romantic.
One of the things I liked most was that this book is short and unpretentious, but still a great story. I’d have liked to get further details on Luca’s relationship with his father, given the influence of the latter’s actions on his personality, but that’s a me thing. It doesn’t affect the story or the final outcome for the couple.
In all, this was an amazing read to meet a new to me author.
