mslori 's review for:

The Professional by Kresley Cole
1.0

I started this book with high expectations because I've read a good number of Coles IAD series and have enjoyed some of the less popular ones. But I just couldn't with this one.
I understand it's an older one or hers and she was developing her style. But I still could not get into it.
I ended up not caring for either of the MC's by the end. But I especially disliked the hero. He was just a little too much of an alpha-hole for me. And he did waaaaaay too little groveling at the end to make up for it. The heroine just came off as a door-mat by the end because of that.
I can give it points for showing parts of what a good BDSM relationship can look like. With the right after care and letting the sub end things if they need too. But that's about all I can say for this.
Oh and one more point for a fantastic side bestie Jess. There was really nothing about her I didn't like and I'd have rather read a book about her.

Besides my issues with the MCs the plot was banana town bonkers and I really just found the whole thing un-relatable and hard to digest. Sorry Kresley, probably will never bother with the rest. But that's okay I still have like 10+ IAD books to catch up on.
