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?
