eantoinette285 's review for:
The Professional
by Kresley Cole
I was wary yet anticipating reading this book. I had read numerous mixed reviews, but couldn't help buying #1 and #2 on a random B&N trip. With most things that require an opinion, I decided to see what this book was about and see what I thought on my own.
Sevastyan is by far one of the most intimidating alphas I've ever met. Why is that? He's not just a dominant man, but also a trained assassin. He has spent the majority of his life killing, and doesn't hesitate to do so in his adult life either.
Natalie, the curvaceous redhead PhD student in the middle of nowhere Nebraska meets Sevastyan in a crowded bar. She has her own ambitions, and none of them include a man. When it turns out Sevastyan is working for her long-lost father, breaks into her house, and steals her away to Russia, her life turns into a whirl-wind.
He's ordered to guard and protect her life, and she's intrigued and beyond curious about this pent-up, closed off, angry man in her father's life. Needless to say, the two push each other's buttons past the point of tolerable.
Sevastyan honestly made me a bit nervous from time-to-time. I knew he had reasons for his brooding attitude, but I didn't know how far back into his past his bad blood ran. Once they have a relationship, Natalie does what she can to understand him, while also getting him to open up to her and break his walls to bits. Their attempt at compromise is a constant one step forward and two steps back process that nearly destroys them.
