The Stanislaski Brothers
The Barnes & Noble Review Fans of New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts will find double the pleasure when they pick up a copy of The Stanislaski Brothers, two complete novels in one volume. Each story highlights one of the brothers in the tempestuous but loving Stanislaski family, immigrants from the Ukraine. The first novel, Luring a Lady, pairs the eldest Stanislaski brother, carpenter and woodcarver Mikhail, with a rich ice princess, Sydney Hayward. Then things get mixed up and fixed up for police officer Alexi Stanislaski, who finds himself both annoyed and intrigued by a vivacious and irrepressible soap opera writer in Convincing Alex. After the death of her grandfather, Sydney Hayward finds herself in charge of the family business. Not only must she deal with her grief, she must face down the threats and taunts of the man who thought he d be sitting in Sydney s place. Then a dark-haired stranger shows up in her office, complaining about the long-overdue repairs in the building Sydney now owns, where he and a dozen or so other tenants live. At first Sydney is inclined to simply add the man s complaints to her ever-lengthening list of things to do. But something about this handsome stranger draws her in. Soon she finds herself falling in love, but because of a disaster in her past, she s afraid to confront the truth in her heart.
