In the sequel to Kresley Cole's erotically charged The
Professional, THE
MASTER takes on Maksimilian Sevastyan, the rich Politian
and Mafiya boss
and a feisty new escort from Miami named Catarina. Their
worlds cross
when Maks sets up a night for sex but instead of his
usual, Catarina shows
up, taking him for a turn.
With Cat's crazy personality, Cole sets the stage for a
fun night filled with
passion and delight. Maks has an instant attraction to Cat
but she is far less
easy to win over. It's because of this that their romance
doesn't feel as
strong as its predecessor, but that doesn't mean this book
lacks the heat!
Cole plays up the dominance in THE MASTER, toying with
various new tricks
that will intrigue readers.
As a man of money and prestige, Maks has no qualms about
paying for what
he wants. While not as romantic, this does stay true to
this character. Maks
isn't a gentlemen who woos his woman. He's far more
aggressive and
impatient for that. So he is willing to pay Cat for
details about herself; her
real name, her deepest desires. Depending on readers, this
will affect how
enjoyable and believable the story is as it is the main
premise and a
significant part of Maksimilian's personality.
Kresley Cole doesn't play by the rules in THE MASTER.
Where would the fun
be in that?
A need colder than Siberian winter meets an attitude
hotter
than the Florida sun in #1 New York Times bestselling
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.
