Jonty in Russia Kindle Edition
Armed with his smile and a handful of dubious Russian Phrases, Jonty is ready for the delights Vladivostok has to offer—the famous glass beach he’s dreamed about, ice skating on a frozen sea, and snow. And maybe even vodka.
But, is Vladivostok ready for Jonty Bloom?

About the author

Barbara Elsborg lives in Kent in the South of England. She always wanted to be a spy, but having confessed to everyone without them even resorting to torture, she decided it was not for her. Volcanology scorched her feet. A morbid fear of sharks put paid to marine biology. So instead, she spent several years successfully selling cyanide.
After dragging up two rotten, ungrateful children and frustrating her sexy, devoted, wonderful husband (who can now stop twisting her arm) she finally has time to conduct an affair with an electrifying plugged-in male, her laptop.
Her earlier books feature quirky heroines and bad boys, now she concentrates on the bad boys, and hopes her books are as much fun to read as they are to write. If you'd like to know more about Barbara or be put on her mailing list, details can be found here www.barbaraelsborg.com She is also on Facebook and Twitter under her author name.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2021This is just the perfect book, another book about Jonty and Devan, and their first vacation. To Russia. To visit a special famous beach that is literally covered in the Sea Glass that Jonty loves so much,and uses in his artistic creations. Devan loves Jonty with all his heart, and proves again and again that he truly is The Best Boyfriend In The Entire World. Jonty is my favorite character of all time, he's just so unique and funny as hell. Totally unpredictable what will come out of his mouth at any given time or circumstance, but it will be kind and brilliant and off the wall. And Devan is the perfect partner! These two are just so made for each other and above all else, they appreciate each other. Unwavering in their devotion.
The best part of this is the brilliant dialog Barbara Elsborg gives them. Had me laughing out loud so many times. Devin is so happy now that Jonty is in his life, and Jonty is so happy that Devin is in his life, and they've got an unwavering bond. This is a really great storyline also, couldn't put it down. There are now 3 Jonty and Devin books (yay!) as the latest one just came out about their Halloween, also wonderful. Just finished that one and it made me want to go back and re-read this book again. And I am bleary eyed and so happy, having just finished it again. Ah, makes my heart so happy. Thank you Barbara for these!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2021If you don't like Jonty from the previous books, you might get to like him here.
If you loved Jonty you will rock and roll through this one with a constant smile on your face for one of the most brilliantly conceived and developed characters in the M/M world.
And his Best Boyfriend in the World Devan is not to be overlooked, either. Wonderful.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2021If you haven't read The Making of Jonty Bloom, go read that, fall in love with Jonty like the rest of us, then read this one. I loved being with him and Devan again, and I loved all the details of their travel. And the end is both thoughtful and sweet. <3
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2021Jonty is such a loveable character and seeing him and Devan again just makes me happy. Another great adventure, I laughed, swooned from the sweet moments and just enjoyed these two having a great tome. Definite must read.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021This title's a follow-up novella in Jonty's and Devon's story in Unfinished Business series. It's MM Contemporary romance with a HEA. There's an Age Gap.
Favourite characters to be found here - section!
Oh how I loved this one, too! I love Jonty and Devon! Adorable, cute, sweet, endearing, heartmelting, shall I go on ... Love reading further adventures. It was well written and everything in its place in it for me. Made me feel warm and cozy. It was hot too, though :D Jonty was himself as we love him :D He got into trouble again being himself, causing Devon likely some grey hairs. With love! And he got some sea glass, really!
I fell right into the OMG I so need to reread the first title zone.
Strongly recommending the series for MM fans who love this type of main character.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2021Jonty on Russia is a charming follow up to The Making of Jonty Bloom. Devan takes Jonty along on a business trip to Eastern Russia and Jonty does what he does best, make friends and influences people. While you can read this as a standalone, recommend that you read the previous book and the Christmas novella. I look forward to reading more adventures with the two protagonists.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2021This book had me laughing and smiling a lot, yet also getting teary eyed in a couple of places. The story flowed so easily and the characters had a life of their own - no hiding in the background for any of them.
As with the first two books in this series I did not want this one to end.
I hope Jonty and Devan (and friends) appear in several future books. :)
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022After reading the first of Barbara Elsborg's Jonty books, I have been devouring them all. I would LOVE to read more! I'm going to say this on all my reviews of the books, because maybe if I say it often enough, it'll happen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't get enough of Jonty and Devan.
I can't tell how i much i love this couple of Jonty and Devan, when i knew there was going to be a short story about them going to Russia to see the beach where Jonty can see all the coloured glass that he loves so much i couldn't wait to download this and get stuck right in.
I was looking forwards to the antics that Jonty would get himself into whilst abroad for the first time, and i wasn't disappointed at all, this was everything i needed and so much more.
I can't get enough of this couple and i hope for some more story's from them on there travels around the world, as there is so much love between them that no other couple compairs and Devan is the best boyfriend in the world by far. 5 huge Jonty Stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genial
Ich liebe Jonty, ich liebe Devan und ich liebe das gesamte Buch . Es ist einmalig und witzig und originell . Es ist herzerwärmend süß aber niemals zu viel .Perfekt .

5.0 out of 5 stars A sweet little read
Jonty has quickly become one of my favorite characters. His perseverance and beautiful spirit are the backbone of his struggles to overcome a horrifically dysfunctional childhood (which we know of from a previous book). You’ll enjoy his escapades in Russia in this story. Clearly the Russian townspeople weren’t ready for the likes of Jonty.
- Kindle CustomerReviewed in Canada on April 2, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Short and very sweet!
I absolutely love these two! Jonty is so much fun, he is awesomely quirky and a total sweetheart. I am so glad the author keeps having them reappear in short stories and in Caleb and Viggies story! I can't wait for the next book in the series!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Glass Artist
Another stunning book by Barbara Elsborg with 2 of my favourite characters, Jonty and Devan. Month's first trip abroad is accompanying Devan to Vladivostok on a business trip to decide on building a hotel with Matvey. Devan warns Jonty to tone down any signs that they are in a relationship, as homosexuality is more than frowned upon in many Russian circles.
Month's enthusiasm and excitement at his first holiday anywhere, is infectious and delightful. A little drama is thrown in and is handled lightly by MS Elsborg. I thoroughly enjoyed this little interlude with Devan and Jonty. Thank you for your amazing stories.
