By: Kresley Cole

Narrated by: Kimberly Alexis

The highly anticipated complete novel of The Professional—the first installment in #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole's scorching Game Maker series, an erotica collection that has readers asking: How hot is too hot? Get lost in the sultry world of the Game Maker series with The Master, book two, and The Player, book three!

Meet the Professional.

Mafiya enforcer Aleksandr “The Siberian” Sevastyan’s loyalty to his boss is unwavering, until he meets the boss's long-lost daughter, a curvy, tantalizing redhead who haunts his mind and heats his blood like no other. Ordered to protect her, Aleksandr will do anything to possess her as well—on his own wicked terms.

He makes the rules.

Grad student Natalie Porter has barely recovered from her first encounter with the dark and breathtaking Siberian when he whisks her away to Russia, thrusting her into a world of extreme wealth and wanton pleasures.

In the game of obsession, two players are better than one.

Yet all is not as it seems. To remove Natalie from an enemy’s reach, Aleksandr spirits her into hiding. From an opulent palace in Russia to the decadent playgrounds of the mega-rich in Paris, the two lovers tempt each other’s boundaries to discover whether their darkest—and most forbidden—fantasies really can come true...

Previously released as The Professional—Parts 1, 2, and 3 as ebook exclusives.

I want a Russian body guard!

This is incredible, it left me screaming at the end for more. Kresley Cole books is by far my favorite author, all her books continue to be intriguing and interesting and you will always want more.

Porn not steam - too bad

Would you listen to The Professional: Part 1 again? Why?

There was a great storyline to this book that was drowned out by pornographic sex scenes. Steamy scenes add and enhance a good romance book - but the writer took it way too far. I got the feeling she was trying to capitalize on the success of the Shades of Grey series - but as a reader I was prepared for what I got with those books. This was poorly disguised xxx rated novel being marketed as an engaging story.

This is a hot book!

I really love Kresley Cole books, but this series is awesome! I love her take on the BDSM genre.

Loving this series!!! Great story!

I love Kresley Cole books, they are very well written and always intriguing. I can not wait to get to the next story.

Would have given it 5 Stars but I HATE CLIFFHANGER

One of the many reason's I adore Kresely is that she doesn't really do cliffhangers…..until now. Waiting a year for poison princess series is bad enough and now this? 4 hours is no way near long enough once you dive into a world of money and the mob that is lead by your newly found father. And then start a hot and heavy relationship with the untouchable body guard?……..Well all I can say is Please Hurry With the Next Book!
