After evaluating the book for a ten, I will say why I avoid reading Russian authors. If in the novels of foreign authors one can refer to the fact that they have a different country / conditions / culture / mentality, then I am extremely partial to domestic authors. I often have questions and bewilderments. Well, yes, I find fault
Not hoping that the author will see my comments, I will try to formulate my claims.
The story with Marat Eldarovich has, from my point of view, many flaws. I understand why she was needed, this is the culmination point, after passing which, the hero begins the recovery process. But…!
The whole story is pretty typical, one businessman, prompted by revenge, tries to bend another businessman. Since today in Russia - civilized capitalism, we are not talking about the physical elimination of a partner, but about his complete ruin. Our hero falls between a rock and a hard place, who is trying to stand up for justice (after all, he was also thrown).
The hero is pressured, demanding to withdraw his testimony and destroy documentary evidence. Everything is logical!
But why does this pressure continue when the plaintiff Kostikov, his CEO, escapes? The court case cannot be conducted in the absence of the plaintiff, the defendants are not in danger, they have already won.
Had the author put on an episode with the kidnapping before Kostikov disappeared, the ending would be logical: the director disappeared, the court case was closed, nothing threatens the protagonist anymore, he can calmly lick his wounds, make plans for the future, go to Sochi, where a lot of new opportunities open up for him (it is not at all necessary that only Ruslan Eldarovich is building in Sochi).
However, the events developing along the text are less logical. The hero is kidnapped, mocked at him - this is already a crime ... why does a civilized businessman take such a risk?
The businessman justifies himself and admires the steadfastness and courage of the protagonist. It turns out that his right hand, Anatoly Petrovich, should have been with our hero get in touch to negotiate a job offer, rather than arrange a kidnapping.
Why did the stubborn man become so interested in the businessman after the resolution of the business conflict?
Because pleased, the author explains:
"As a person, as a person. You are active, courageous, devoted. Full of enthusiasm. Would you like to work for me?"
In the hero's head, indeed, welter,otherwise the thought would not have occurred to him: "Ruslan made an impression, he is not at all like his older brother. It is evident that a modern, intelligent man, marat Eldarovich's methods are unpleasant to him."
If Ruslan is different, then why does he live and work in a gaudy interior ("shamelessly expensive renovation, those same malachite tapestries, gilded sofas with ruffles and tassels that my former client so insisted on"), why his right hand remains a man noticed in willfulness, abuse of authority, kidnapping and mockery of a person?
Agreeing to work for a businessman who bent him, in my opinion, crosses out the independent image of the main character that has been built for so long, for whom honesty and decency are not words, but a way of life.
On the one hand, our hero grew up, overcame phantom pains and fears, on the other hand, he was broken, since he is ready to do whatever they say. What is the victory? I'm at a loss.
I also don’t believe that a hero with a reputation crazy, rebellious, independent, strange, businessmen will willingly take into their team.
For modern domestic business, people are just a renewable resource, many of us went through a series of interviews, getting a job, and know this from our own experience.
For a domestic employer, first of all, dedication and diligence are important, and then knowledge and skill. They get rid of willful, independent workers (it is not known what is in their minds, they can play a double game).
This is very important in a world where there is constant competition, mergers and acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions.
I also don’t believe that modern ruslans and marata able to appreciate the talent of a young designer. From their point of view, such as the main character, the labor market is full ( one is stubborn, we will take another, cheaply, we will force to do what we need)... This is not a programmer or an engineer, although engineers and scientists are bent.
Perhaps this business theme only overwhelmed the wonderful novel. In my opinion, the idea of \u200b\u200ba small honest man who accidentally fell between a rock and a hard place, and also accidentally got out, would be interesting if it did not end with a soap opera with a kind businessman who presents the hero from the shoulder of a lord.
The story with Arina, who got into the network of the dominant, did not fit into the end of the book either. It could be the basis of another book (I'm sure if the author had taken it for it, it would have turned out to be the same exciting story as Vic's story). For lack of time, we were left in the dark as to how the initially self-confident friend and sister closed in and did not find the strength to deal with their own lives on their own. What was the reason, the desire to become a famous fashion model or the temptation to transfer control to the wrong hands?
The short story of Arina's rescue at the end of the book, in my opinion, overloads her, makes the ending too crumpled.
However, I repeat, the story of Vik and Vera is masterfully written, it amazes, amazes and delights.Thanks to the author!

Love stories are romantic stories, the main characters of which are a man and a woman, living through different life situations, meet and will certainly fall in love. Further development of relationships usually occurs against the background of life's difficulties or obstacles that are posed by fate, and often people from whom the heroes least expect it. Usually, lovers manage to overcome everything, which gives a lot of positive emotions to ardently empathic readers.
All romance novels can be divided into several categories, or subgenres, so everyone can choose a book to their liking.
By and large, all books can be viewed as two broad categories: historical and contemporary. Those, in turn, are divided into Russian or foreign, and in each of these categories it is already possible to sort romance novels by topic. Therefore, one book can have several tags at the same time.
To avoid confusion, we have arranged the subgenres in alphabetical order.
Subgenres of romance novels
Foreign romance novels... Everything is clear here - these are books written by foreign authors, regardless of what other subgenre they can be attributed to. ...
Historical romance novels... All the action of the book takes place in the past. Sometimes the heroes themselves are direct participants in historical events, and sometimes the events of bygone days are just a background for a romantic story. ...
Short romance novels... Individual love stories are stories or stories that fit into a small book of up to 300 pages. ...
Love fiction novels... Books that take place in a fantastic setting: on other planets, in parallel worlds, in the distant future, etc. The most popular sub-genres of this category are books about wizards, about the popes, or about vampires. ...
Action-packed romance novels... These books are of three types: - the action develops against the background of a criminal story (detective); - the plot is so famously twisted that poor lovers have to perform real feats; - passions are off scale and have little to do with a calm romantic melodrama. ...
Modern romance novels... Everything that happens to the heroes takes place in our time, or in the quite recognizable recent past.
Love that is written about in novels
Love is the most incomprehensible essence in this world!
A person lives: studies, works, plans something, creates something, and looks at the world with a clear look. And everything in this world is clear and understandable to him. But now Love comes to him and everything changes. What seemed right yesterday is being questioned, what seemed impossible is going into the hands of its own accord, what seemed illogical seems to be the only right.
As if you find yourself in a parallel world. And it is not clear which of these two worlds is yours. Both are real and are opposite to each other. And you have to live in two worlds at the same time.
And people who live only in one of the worlds will never see, and therefore will not understand those who love. And they will twist their fingers at their temples, watching the lovers commit their madness.
Remember, in the movie "An Ordinary Miracle" the Wizard said: "Glory to the brave men who dared to love, knowing that all this comes to an end!"
Is the madness of lovers really so mad? Isn't this cold and calculating world insane? Turn on the TV, open the newspaper! Who destroys everything he touches?
Hatred, intolerance, indifference, the thirst for power over other people, the thirst for easy money at any cost ... As soon as this world has not exploded with pain ?!
Perhaps he also keeps afloat only due to the fact that he has Love ...
Which does not care about "common sense", the opinion of "normal" people, the power of money and the law of gravity. Love is absolutely free, it is not bound by any laws and therefore it is fearless. She is not afraid of indifference, betrayal, or death.
Those who once loved! Once ... but not now. Do you think she is dead? Look into your soul, and there, at the very bottom, you can make out a tiny, barely smoldering ember. This is a coal of future Love ...
That's her. Asleep. And wake up again someday.
