Ukrainian Nights

Sample Reviews  

“I just finished Ukrainian Nights and was captivated throughout the entire book. I was hooked after reading the first chapter and was completely carried away by the development of the characters and the elaborate detailing of Eastern European culture. I look forward to another book.” Brooke

“Hard to believe it’s his first. Felt like I was reading a Clancy or Ludlam novel. Literally, could not put it down. Started on a long flight to San Francisco and kept on reading after we landed! Don’t think that has ever happened before. Loved the suspense and the content being an old Russian hand academically. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you!” Rich

“An entertaining and suspenseful novel about the period after Russian communism fell. Pete Carlson captures the flavor of the Russian Mafia syndicates and Ukrainian turmoil that has led to our present day dilemmas with Eastern Europe and the current Soviet government. Leaves you guessing till the very end!” Susie

TEARZA REVIEWS:

“Just finished reading TEARZA - Karen read it too. We both loved it -you’re giving Nicholas Sparks a run for his money. I read Ukrainian Nights on a flight home to Minneapolis and couldn’t put it down. I was the same way with Tearza. It amazed me that you could write 2 totally different genre of books and excel at both. Kudos- well down. As an avid reader of thousands of books and an English teacher of 36 years I am thoroughly impressed” - Lew 

“In TEARZA, Pete Carlson delivers a heartwarming story of Ryan and Tearza, two survivors of loss and heartbreak, navigating their way through child-raising and careers. With four young girls in the middle nothing is simple. It’s a second chance to get love right, though Carlson skillfully reminds the reader that failure and resilience must play their roles first, and only with time and determination will the two discover what’s meant to be.” Harper McDavid -Author of ZAPATA, Winner of the 2020 Colorado Book Award for Romance
