About this listen

From number-one New York Times best-selling author Kresley Cole comes The Professional: Part 2 - the second scorching installment in her Game Maker series, an erotica collection that has listeners asking: How hot is too hot?

He makes the rules….

Mafia enforcer Aleksandr "The Siberian" Sevastyan’s loyalty to his boss is unwavering, until he meets the boss’ long-lost daughter, a curvy, tantalizing redhead who haunts his mind and heats his blood like no other. Ordered to protect her, Sevastyan will do anything to possess her as well - on his own wicked terms.

Rules are made to be broken.…

PhD student Natalie Porter had barely recovered from her first sight of the breathtakingly gorgeous Sevastyan before the professional hit man whisks her away to Russia, thrusting her into a world of extreme wealth and wanton pleasures. With every day she spends under his protection, she falls deeper under his masterful spell.

Are you ready to play?

Yet all is not as it seems. To remove Natalie from an enemy’s reach, Sevastyan spirits her into hiding. From an opulent palace in Russia to the decadent playgrounds of the mega-wealthy in Paris, the two lovers will discover that even their darkest - and most forbidden - fantasies can come true.…

WARNING: This first book is sold in 3 parts!

I read the book & loved it! But how many different purchases do I need to make to hear that 1 book? Very annoying!!!

AWESOME

Great book I have listened to it several times but I did NOT like having to purchase it in 3 separate parts I felt it was a rip off and how the parts were split was stupid and happened it strange places.

I am happy to see that book 2 is not separated into 3 parts.

kresley at her most sizzling yet!

so far, everything has gotten even more hot and heavy between sevastyan and natalie. i'm a little hesitant over BDSM but kresley cole does wonders keeping me trapped in the book so it's intriguing me just a tad :)

Middle Book Syndrome?

Good, but not great...
Part two of The Professional picks up right where it left off in part one. (the very steamy sauna) As much as I enjoyed the beginning part of this book, it suddenly took a weird turn. I understand this is erotica, but it went from an exciting Russian Mafia story to a Fifty Shades of Grey BDSM plot. I don’t mind all the sex, but I just didn’t like the way it was written. Some of it made me cringe and laugh. It was a little over-the-top and unexpected for Kresley Cole. In spite of all of that, I still enjoyed most of the story and thought it was a 4 star listen. I hope the final installment is better and that this one just suffered from “middle book syndrome”.

Upset

With the fact that this book is cut into several pieces, so you have to spend more than one credit to buy it whole.
Very unethical in my opinion..

WOWZA, I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH THIS SEXY SIBERIAN

Well the dark, dangerous and gorgeous Sevastyan is clearly playing to win in this second slice of the sexually and emotionally charged plot and the stakes just got very high.... and deadly.

He and Natalie have a very 'hot' time in the steam room but someone betrays them, things go from bad to worse and before they know it they're fleeing from Russia but, despite their passionate days and nights, Natalie still doesn't really know her Siberian that will literally die for her. He has tattoos, scars and a dominant attitude and she wants to know everything about him but he's just not the sharing sort because his past is guarded where unspoken dark secrets hide.

Natalie grows in this second instalment and knows what she wants from her lover and it's to play hard and dirty but Sevastyan, although very possessive and obsessive, has got his orders to treat her well - but Natalie wants her sexy, dominant, brooding, Alpha back and forces his hand (and other body parts) to her will. But has she bitten off more than she can handle and when does hot become too hot? That's the cliffhanger that we're all waiting to find out about.

Worth a credit? No, it's under $10 but this is a well-written, enjoyable, exciting, fast-paced, erotic short listen that packs a lot in with twists, turns, threats, suspense, betrayal, murder and their love story is slowly building but the trust, unfortunately, isn't there yet. I just wish KC had waited and made these 3 books into 1 non-stop listen but hey-ho she didn't so I've already pre-ordered Book 3 in eager anticipation of their climactic ending.

Seriously HOT

This one was extra spicy! Not the greatest follow up in terms of storyline--it really takes an abrupt turn--but the hotness factor was off the charts. Sevastyan's tortured soul is further revealed but he still remains shrouded in mystery, while Natalie tries to keep up and discovers her own kinky side. The first book was SO good, I wanted this one to be equal to that, but, in all honesty it lacked just a bit. Overall, the superior sex, the humor and the excellent narration makes this a worthy purchase. I'm hoping book three will seriously bring the fire as well as a nice little HEA.

And the TEASE continues....

I am NOT a fan of having KC books released in parts! I am into instant and complete gratification. The book is awesome like all her work, if you're a fan you're getting the book anyway. Just be prepared to scream when it ends abruptly....it's a TEASE!
