Review:
The Professional Part Three by Kresley Cole is the third and
final part (at least as far as I know) of Sevastyan and Natalie’s story. I
don’t think this is the last we will see of this series as a couple of things
are revealed in this installment that can mean possibly a couple of new match
ups. At least that’s what I am hoping for anyway! Sevastyan’s mysterious
connection and helper pops up in this book and he’s just as dark and broody as
Sevastyan and I definitely wasn’t to see more of him, maybe a possible match up
with Natalie’s feisty friend Jess?
In this book we leave off right where we left off in part
two and holy ish this book is freak’n knock your socks off hot! Kresley Cole
does not hold back in this installment. Sevastyan doesn’t ease Natalie into the
BDSM lifestyle. Where we leave off K. Cole has us walking into an uber rich
fantasy playground sex club in the heart of Paris. Sevastyan and Natalie have a
private (or is it) room with all of the goodies. He tests her resolve and is
surprised just how much she really wants him, he expects to scare her off
(again) and yet again she surprises him with her desires. With Natalie strung
up and bound Sevastyan takes her to the very heights only to drop her the next
day. Natalie and Sevastyan while burn up the sheets at night, they have a very
strained relationship by day. Natalie is determined to have all of Sevastyan
and won’t give herself freely until she does. Sevastyan can’t give all of
himself to Natalie with his past still effecting his present and future.
Natalie does not give up; however, this girl has some moxy! She has no problem
standing up to her man, regardless of how deadly he is. Throughout these three
parts we get to watch the battle of wills, and my money has been on Natalie
from the get go, I think her will is even stronger than Sevastyan’s and that is
saying something. Sevastyan has done nothing but battle through life, through
his childhood, through life on the streets, life in the mafia. Now, he has his
greatest wish in front of him and he’s battling to keep her, but, he can see
he’s losing the war with Natalie and its killing him. A little bit of a red
head is bringing him to his knees and he doesn’t know what to do. He shows
Natalie how much he cares the only way he knows how, with his body, but it’s
not enough.
This installment is hotter than the first two which is
saying a lot considering just how steamy the first two are. Natalie and
Sevastyan don’t lack in the sexual chemistry department, but they struggle in
the communication department. I loved Natalie and Sevastyan as characters both
separate and together. I loved their stories and what brought them together.
Cole never fails to pull me into the story and feel for the characters. My only
issue with this installment is that the ending felt a bit rushed, the big
reveal into Sevastyan’s past and the resulting actions came very late into this
installment and was kind of like puff here it is and now all is fixed. I just
think I expected a little bit more. I wasn’t disappointed by any means, but I
felt like the reveal maybe should have happened a little bit sooner or more
after the reveal. In any event I thoroughly enjoyed this installment and this
book as a whole. For those who were waiting for all three installments to come
out before you started reading, it is now safe to lose yourself in this highly
erotic and wildly entertaining series. Enjoy! I know I did!
