The bouncer at the door wasn’t too pleased at the sight of Chelsea’s parka or her Save The Rainforest t-shirt, but when she smiled sweetly and mentioned George’s name, he reconsidered and let her in.
The club was loud, crowded with groups of half-drunk rowdy men and very, very pink. The walls, tables and even the bar stools were a uniform creamy rose that exactly matched the skin tones of half a dozen scantily clad girls dancing on a stage. From a distance it looked as though six sets of tiny bikinis were gyrating to the beat of the music.
“Surreal,” Chelsea said out loud. Still laughing, she turned and bumped up against someone.
“Surreal?” a voice repeated with amusement. “That’s not an expression I’ve heard used here before.”
“Sorry,” Chelsea said automatically. “I didn’t see you.” She looked up and stepped back instinctively.
His short cropped blond hair and lean aquiline features were classic but the hard grey eyes and deadpan expression screamed danger.
I shouldn’t have come here, Chelsea thought.
As if sensing her thoughts, he smiled slightly. “No problem.” He looked her over critically. He spoke fluently but with a rough inflection that was definitely foreign.
“You don’t belong here,” he said bluntly. “Why are you here?”
“I’ve come to look for someone,” Chelsea stammered.
“Who?”
Chelsea wanted to tell him to mind his own business but realised that he might be able to help her. “I’m looking for friends of George McAllister.”
He frowned down at her. “But not for McAllister himself,” he noted.
“Do you know him?” Chelsea asked. “He comes in here pretty often, two or three times a week I think.”
He said nothing and Chelsea could read nothing from his expression.
“If you know him, maybe you can help me,” Chelsea pleaded. “It won’t take long and I have money.” He frowned at her. “I mean, I can buy you a drink,” Chelsea faltered.
The hard grey eyes looked her over again, resting on her hair, her t-shirt and her jeans. Despite the thick parka, Chelsea suddenly felt naked. Resisting the impulse to run away, she stood her ground determinedly.
“I’ve met him,” he finally conceded.
“Then can we talk?”
“He’s bad news. Not the sort of person you should be hanging out with.”
“You don’t understand. I’m in real trouble. Please, I just need a few minutes of your time.”
“Vlad, are you coming?” A tall blonde in a sequined black cocktail dress appeared at his side. She looked at Chelsea and seeing the thick parka dismissed her instantly. “I’m thirsty,” the blonde said while taking his arm possessively.
Vlad, Chelsea thought. Short for Vladimir. Russian. And by the look of his dark blue silk shirt and slim gold watch, a rich one too. One of those business moguls, she thought to herself, vaguely remembering stories in the newspapers of Russian oil and telecommunication billionaires.
Vladimir shrugged the girl off. “Go sit. I’ll be there in a moment,” he said.
“But the others have just arrived,” the blonde pouted. “They’ll be expecting you to join them.”
“So they’ll wait a bit,” Vladimir said coldly. “Go on. I want to talk to this girl here.”
With a malevolent glance at Chelsea the girl flounced off.
“Thanks,” Chelsea said gratefully. “I really appreciate your helping me.”
“I haven’t said I will yet,” he answered.
Not only is Chelsea broke, but the police think she has colluded in a financial swindle. Worse, loan shark Carlos Santiago is after her too, determined to make her pay up for her stepfather’s debts. Then Vladimir Voyeykov, rumoured to be a member of the Red Mafia, enters the mix. He whisks Chelsea to Moscow where she is catapulted into a world filled with intrigue - and passion.

***BE CAREFUL, A LITTLE BIT OF SPOILERS***
This is a story about a girl name Chelsea. She come back from Alaska and becomes aware that her stepfather stolen from her 3millions. She decided to find him and have her money back. One night she came to club to look her stepfather and meets Vladimir. She told him everything and he order her to get the hell out from city. But before she could run away detectives from Scotland Yard took her and told her that she will go to jail for crimes she hasn't done. Then she meets drug dealer from Mexico who wants to kill her, but thank god Vladimir helped her and took her with him to Moscow.
60% of this story was AMAZING! I was reading it with such interest in! Other 35% were sooo boring..... There was zero action. These percents were only about Chelsea's life in Moscow; her nights in clubs, her time with Vladimir's team. That's all.
Other 5% give me action again.
I would recommend this book for you, because well...I love books about strong, alpha Russians!
So, 4 Stars. But if those 35% would have action it would be HUGE 5STARS!
You can always count on Storm Chase to deliver an imaginative and unique conflict scenario for the heroine. In this case, a strong willed, independent minded female is thrust into a world where women are treated as possessions. In a world of criminals, she is able to gain their respect, even as she fights to bring them down. And she does this while fighting her growing attraction to her kidnapper Vlad. She is confused by his compassionate role in her scenario and her instinctual attraction to him. I loved Vlad and the rest of the members of his Team. Chelsea fits in immediately with this group. Vlad needs a strong woman as his counter and Chelsea fits this bill exactly, while being an innocent foil to his organized crime background.. She needs a cause to rally behind and he becomes her cause. The more we get to see the real him, we see that all is not black and white in the Red Mafia. There are lots of grey areas where people need saving just as much as an endangered species.
I received a copy of Wildcat in Moscow by Storm Chase in exchange for an honest review. Chelsea and Vlad’s story held my attention from cover to cover. While this book has an element of suspense, most of it is in the beginning and end of the story. I can’t complain about that because the middle is filled with a nicely written romance. This is definitely a five star read.
When Chelsea returns from Alaska to take control of her trust, she is met with many obstacles including a swindling step-father and an angry drug lord. Chelsea is not your typical rich girl ready to live it up with her inheritance; she’s tough, compassionate, and mostly down to Earth. Unfortunately, she finds herself faced with problems that even a strong woman can’t handle alone. Lucky for her, she meets a sexy Russian with a soft spot for her. She soon finds herself swept off to Moscow, where her life takes several more unexpected turns.
I loved the chemistry between Chelsea and Vlad from their first meeting, and it intensified as the book went along. Sometimes I felt Chelsea was a little too understanding, but overall she is a fun character. She and Vlad are different in many ways, but they really worked together. Vlad has that super hot alpha male thing going on for him, and it was easy to see why he would tempt Chelsea, or any woman.
I had trouble keeping track of all of the people Chelsea met in Moscow. There were a lot of players involved with the suspense part of this book, and at times I couldn’t remember who was who. The supporting characters who were most involved with the story were described well and fun. Those characters I didn’t forget.
If you enjoy a good romance, then you should definitely pick up a copy of Wildcat in Moscow.
Poor Chelsea! Her only family is long dead, and she's a crusader for fair trade, fair treatment of animals, and ecological awareness. She has traveled far and wide, helping wherever she goes, and collecting precious stones and tusks (ethically!) to build into one-of-a-kind jewelry. She returns home to claim her inheritance, and learns that her philandering step-father George has spent her fortune--seemingly, anyhow.
Her only remaining asset seems to be a box of receipts and collections notices. Trying to unravel the financial disaster, Chelsea goes to one of the clubs she finds on numerous receipts--there she meets Vlad. He's more than just big, Russian and scary. He takes a moment to hear her tale of woe and gives her the best advice he can run, for your life.
Vlad knows how ruthlessly Chelsea would be treated if she gets caught up in her stepfather's bad debts---some of those creditors wouldn't hesitate to prostitute, or even kill, her. They are, after all Vlad's business associates. See, he's a Russian "businessman" (read mobster) and he greases the wheels in ten countries to make sure his construction projects get finished, early.
Before Chelsea can take Vlad's advice, she's taken in by the police--who want to pin her down for George's fraudulent scams-- and later the nefarious Carlos Santiago, who plans to sell her into prostitution to cover George's debt. Chelsea attempts a daring escape, humiliating Carlos and earning Vlad's admiration. Knowing Chelsea's life hangs in the balance, Vlad buys out her debt and whisks her off to Moscow.
Isolated within Vlad's inner circle, Chelsea finds that Vlad isn't the cold enforcer she'd first suspected. He is generous and kind, lavishing her with affection, new clothes and art. If only Chelsea could get over his harem of highly paid prostitutes and his new ventures in drug running...
LOL. All is not what it seems with Vlad and his merry band of vodka swilling comrades. As Chelsea and Vlad spend more time together, a real affection grows, and Chelsea finds the one thing she'd longed for more than her fortune a home.
There's lots of twists and turns in this fast-paced romance. We're kept very much in the dark regarding Vlad's alter ego, until the end--which felt a little rushed. There's a bit of smexytimes, but lots of fade-to-black scenes which keep the focus on the emotional development between Vlad and his "Wildcat", not that Chelsea is a huge fan of all Vlad's 'possessives'! Still, their arrangement, which is more out of convenience at first, turns into a tender romance. It's a bit PRETTY WOMAN with a Russian twist.
And, I liked the Russian scene. The pragmatic nature of Vlad and his friends was very different, and (I felt) in keeping with the post-Soviet culture. The seemy underbelly of this world is on constant display, with real issues like human trafficking, prostitution, drug running and corruption being center stage. Still, there was a lot of heart packed into this romance. Vlad is a tender man who'd been missing a companion, and Chelsea's pure heart and indomitable spirit both captivates and challenges him. I had a bit of trouble with the head-hopping POV of the narrative, bit that's my biggest peeve. Some typos, and the British English spellings, didn't throw me off my read.
Tons of action and romance with a swoon worthy ending a great page Turner to keep you on the edge of your seat
This story was fun to read. This is the 4th book I have read by this author and I have loved them all.
