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.

Following the events of Part 2, THE PROFESSIONAL: PART 3 opens with much debauchery. Here they finally work out the emotional kinks of their relationship with much Drama, pomp and circumstance. And as usual, the angst was maddening to the point of frustrating.
And because this is the final installment, this will be part summation of THE PROFESSIONAL. We all can agree that Kresley Cole knows how to turn up the heat in the triple digits ans she was relentless in dishing out one sexy scene after the next which was consistent in all three installments. The plot of THE PROFESSIONAL is really good and unique and I love the combination of suspense and erotica, it sure made things interesting. I mean it's the the Russian mafiya people?!
The reason why THE PROFESSIONAL didn't win me over is the lack of emotional intimacy between Natalie and Sevastyan. They got too busy outdoing each other sexually that it barely left enough space for them (and me) to bond with them emotionally in an organic/believable way. In other words, these two were hoping to fluck their problems away literally and though I appreciate all the smutty moments, I was hoping that they'd address their emotional issues on a more normal setting.
They eventually did it, post coitus, but it felt rushed which made the resolution weak for me. Sevastyan finally told Natalie his sordid backstory and after a few comforting words from her, it ended happily ever after. Now I'm not sure if the next book in the series would still be about these two because in THE PROFESSIONAL: PART 3, we meet one of Sevastyan's equally dysfunctional brother, Maksim, and I have a feeling that his story might be next with Natalie's BFF as his future partner(?). If that's the case then I would be mildly disappointed because I'm not satisfied with how things ended between Natalie and Sevastyan, I feel like things weren't tied tight enough for me to buy their supposed HEA.”
