Natalie is a US PhD student looking for her biological parents and definitely gets more than she bargained for when her father is found and informed of her existence. Natalie is funny, feisty and not a doe eyed innocent naive, virgin (yay!). It was refreshing to not read 'my sex' for the millionth time.. never heard the term this character used for her hairy mary before, but still preferred it to 'sex'. Aleks is an enforcer, from a hard life that has made him emotionally withdrawn and harbours distinct tastes.There's a lot of BDSM so if that's your kink you'll love it, but even if it's not (like me), there's enough packed into the story to still love it.. and I absolutely did. The only negative I had was the back and forth angst between Aleks and Natalie stretched out a bit too much. After several back and forth, I was like either get it together or separate and move on.Natalie's friend Jess is a hoot, she goes through men quicker than I eat hot dinners.. and I love food! I would love to see her catch the love bug.. wouldn't mind reading her journey to HEA.I will definitely be reading this author again. This was my first, but certainly won't be my last. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars slow start *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2023* Quite a slow start, and I couldn’t get into it…. But I’m glad I persevered. A great book, very well written. I would have preferred to have had some chapters written from his perspective as his character seems a tad one dimensional in comparison to hers. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars 3 star storyline with 5 star character relationships *by E***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2014* I was introduced to this book on twitter (what a surprise) when my friend Victoria was reading it as part of the #SexMeUpReadathon that she along with the other Gosling Girls Book Tour girls were hosting in conjunction with the The Hot Bed team over at Simon and Schuster. I read the story in the three parts which were available on kindle from Amazon and read them back to back because I couldn’t end the story at only 30% through.The story is all about main character and narrator Natalie. She’s a student and workaholic trying to put herself through a PhD without relying on anyone. She’s known for being able to read guys a mile off but when one dark and mysterious stranger defies her ability her life gets turned completely upside down.First of all let me just put it out there that the story line is really a tad farfetched. For a kick off we’re talking about the mafia, abduction and gun toting Russians. Not anything that I know a lot about. If you are able to overlook the implausibility of the main character finding herself in this situation then I’m sure you will enjoy their relationship.Natalie and Aleksandr have an instant chemistry that sparks straight from their first meeting in the bar. It later becomes revealed that as part of his work he has been following and protecting Natalie for a little while. Their chemistry intensifies when the characters are forced to spend time together in close quarters.I really enjoyed their relationship, particularly when they were sparking off of one another in the beginning. The sexual element of their relationship is intense, very descriptive and contains some scenes which readers may not enjoy or may be put off by. This is definitely an over 18 read. Although I found it farfetched I did enjoy the writing and found that I couldn’t put any of the 3 parts down until I had finished them. Although I didn’t really know that much about Russian history which was included in the book it felt like it was well researched and descriptive enough to be relevant to the book without overpowering it. ## Frequently Bought Together - NA - The Master --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/60957261-the-professional-the-game-maker-series-book-1](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/60957261-the-professional-the-game-maker-series-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
