The Professional by Kresley Cole
3.0

Sometimes you just have to throw all your notions of what’s possible out the window. This book has so many WTF things going on. It’s not a contemporary that you are going to think “ that could totally happen to me.”
Our heroine is working her way through college. She has three jobs and is a doctoral student. She’s adopted and has been searching for her family. She’s a virgin and although loves the idea of sex, she’s never found the right guy. Until she spots a real badass at the bar on a random night. She tries to buy him a drink but he turns her down flat.
Our hero is an enforcer for the Russian Mob. Because of course he is. He’s in the U.S. watching a girl whose DNA shows she’s his bosses daughter. He’s intrigued and then she hits on him in a bar.
Do you see where this is going? Do you think that they might end up in a forced proximity situation? I mean, I’m only guessing but something tells me they’re going to see each other again. Like maybe when he breaks into her house to watch her masturbate in the bathtub. As one does. I mean, we’ve all been there.
Then there’s danger and an immediate trip to
Russia to meet good ol dad. There is a charming cousin (?) that everyone thinks she should want. But does she? With a hot enforcer nearby? Psssh, heroine would never.
There’s danger, push & pull, will they or won’t they, a turf war of sorts, betrayal. A sex club, hiding, and lots of sexy times.
So if any of that sounds good to you, give this book a shot. Just don’t think it’s a Tuesday kind of romance.....
