The Professional (The Game Maker, #1)

by
4.5 STARS!
There are about a million reviews for this one, so I'll spare you the plot recap and just head into why The Professional was such a winner for me:
✔ kick- ass, hilariously pragmatic heroine who was a total riot
✔ mafia goodness
✔ so many funny moments (I love Kresley Cole's sense of humor!)
✔ a very strong ending
So why am I rounding down?
I love manipulative characters - they can make for some great plot twists. But in this case, I thought the author allowed the hero to get away with too much that went unanswered.
By the end of the story, I understood why, but that didn't lessen my frustration throughout the rest of the story. If the heroine had thrown a few more punches, this would have gone on my all-time favorites list.
Regardless, I seriously can't wait to read the rest of this series. Thank you, Anne! <3

I, Natalie Porter, had gotten my rocks off while being spanked. And I was going to roll with it.✔dark, broody, manipulative hero who was a serious badass
His eyes darkened with possession. Deep. Brutal. Never-ending.✔ hot kink galore that didn't devolve into violence
✔ mafia goodness
✔ so many funny moments (I love Kresley Cole's sense of humor!)

Fab review, girlfriend! Again, I’m seriously relieved that you enjoyed it but also excited that you’ve discovered the goodness of Kresley Cole. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the second book in the series but I really liked the third. Happy reading!!
