Advanced Review: Kresley Cole's New Book: The Professional Part 1 (The Game Maker Series)

To Be Released

Dec. 16, 2013

Natalie is a PhD student who was adopted at birth. She worked an extra job for years to pay an investigator to find information about her birth parents. She is out with friends when she is attracted to a sexy, dark Russian who dresses like an executive but looks like a street fighter. She propositions him, and he turns her down flat. Later that night she finds him standing in her home.

Russian Mafiya enforcer Aleksandr "the Siberian" Sevastyan has been assigned by her father, a rich mafia boss to protect her, and he has been watching over her for months. When a rival crime boss sends enforcers to find her, Sevastyan must do everything in his power to keep her safe. She immediately goes from a poor struggling grad student to being caught up in the life of a rich mob heiress. Sevastyan fights within himself not to dishonor the daughter of a boss he loves like a father, but Natalie wants to give in to their mutual attraction and Sevastyan's dark sexual desires.

The Professional is a series of short books (about 130 pages each) which are all follow the couple from her fathers Russian palace to the decadent playgrounds of the mega-wealthy in Paris, where they fulfill even their darkest fantasies.

Kresley Cole is a master story teller who is also an excellent writer. Lots of people can write a book, but not everyone knows how to spin a tale, and that is a gift she shows in each of her books. I have read her Immortals After Dark Series and I was immediately a fan, I have to admit that I was a bit unsure when I read the description of "The Game Maker", her new series as a romance erotica series. Erotica writing is an arena in which I was unsure of her writing. Boy, am I impressed with this new display of her writing style. Seldom do you see an erotica tail with an award winning plot. This book was hot, sexy and all around a great book. I immediately fell in love with Natalie and Sevastyan and I can't wait to read the rest of their story. It is well worth the price they are asking for it. 

The only negative I can find to say about this book is the fact that it stops at an awkward place.  I wish that Cole had just combined all three novellas into one big book and just charged the same combined price for it.  It is really frustrating to have the book stop abruptly, then have to be distracted by going back to find it then buy the next installation.  If you are a Kresley Cole fan, I would definitely advise buying all three at one time.  The total is about $8 and it is well worth it.  This book is scheduled to be released TOMORROW, December 16, 2013.
