Publisher's summary

A need colder than Siberian winter meets an attitude hotter than the Florida sun in number-one New York Times best-selling author Kresley Cole's sultry new Game Maker novel.

Everyone fears the master...

Rich, irresistible politician/Mafiya boss Maksimilian Sevastyan prefers tall, obedient blondes to fulfill his...complicated desires. That is until the icy Russian encounters a disobedient brunette whose exquisite little body threatens his legendary restraint.

Except her.

Catarina Marín was a well-off young wife until her world fell apart. Now she's hiding out, forced to start working as an escort in Miami. Her very first client is beyond gorgeous, but when he tells her what he plans to do to her, Cat almost walks out of the door.

If pleasure is a game, play to win.

After their mind-blowing encounter burns out of control, the lovers crave more. If they escape the deadly threats surrounding them, can Maksim overcome his past--to offer Cat his future? Only then will she tempt him with what he really wants: her, all tied up with a bow.

Any additional comments?

The narration was excellent and so funny. This is one of my got to books. I listen to it at least once a month because I loved every aspect. You are on the edge of your seat from the first word. Rich Russian with a huge ego find his sexy little mommyyy. I want more like this one. Narrator rocked every sentence.

The Master

Would you consider the audio edition of The Master to be better than the print version?

no, I'd say equal

What did you like best about this story?

The pace, the smut and the players

Which character – as performed by Kimberly Alexis – was your favorite?

A tie between Cat & Maksim

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both

Any additional comments?

Cat is hiding from her abusive ex, still husband, when she finds herself in a bind. She needs to move on, but lacking funds, there's just one solution to get the money quick, to take the place of her friend/employer as the escort.
One night of this would give her enough money to disappear to another town, it should be worth it, shouldn't it?
Maksimiliam is used to buying an hour here and there whenever the urge sets in, what he didn't expect was how he's react to the fiery latina standing by his door, when he usually only desires blond europeans..
Smutty fluff, romance and emotions in an awesome combo.
Listened as audiobook, and it was eleven hours nonstop, I did not want this to end =) Can't wait for the next book and hopefully the third brother Sevastyan.

Extremely LOVED This Book!

Everything was wonderful about this book! I especially enjoyed the Russian & Spanish accents.

I was hooked into the story & feeling for the characters from the beginning. I thoroughly thrived on the twists & turns in the story. Not to mention the sex. Oh MAN was I on fire. MUY CALIENTE! I listened while at work & couldn't get enough.

Of course, you know I cried at the end. I was wishing my life could be like the story. Huh! Wishful thinking.

Now, I'm hunting for any more in the series. I may have started with book #2, but it doesn't matter to me.

Oh my!

Kresley Cole has done it again. Wow. Dare I call her the Master of this genre.

I didn't love the narrator's Spanish accent or the way it sounded Russian at times, it was a little distracting but the story and the writing was soo good I wasn't distracted for long.
