The Professional by Kresley Cole

5.0

This is a mafia story that is a standalone in the series. Some violence, no abuse towards the heroine. The hero is considered one of the most dangerous and is very moody but also very possessive and protective. The heroine is more of a good girl who isn't afraid sexually even though she's a virgin. That probably doesn't make sense but it will once you read it.

I actually struggled to like the first part of this book. The Hero obviously wants the heroine but it seems like he hates that he wants her. I'm not the biggest fan of this type of pushing away. This is when it pays to keep reading. You learn some information that completely changed my view on him. By the end, I absolutely loved him. I love when a book pulls a 180 like that. I'm looking forward to the others in the series.
