The Game Maker series by Kresley Cole
When you think of Kresley Cole, the first thing that pops into your head is probably her paranormal romances. She has excelled at the genre, first with Immortals After Dark and then within the young adult genre with the Arcana Chronicles. However, I want to bring your attention to her erotic contemporary romance series The Game Maker.
Just thinking about this series gets me all hot and bothered! Cole introduces us to the Sevastyan brothers. Each has their own horribly tortured past, which adds a touch of vulnerability to all their alpha male goodness. How is a girl to resist such gorgeous, dominant males when all they is a bit of your loving to sooth their damaged souls? Did I mention they also have accents?
But, this isn’t an angst ridden erotic romance, Cole writes this series with her signature irreverent humour, creating heroines who are as unique and compelling as the heroes. You jump from panting with lust, to panting with laughter, so top tip don’t read this is public!
To entice you further here’s a little guide on each of the brothers…
The Professional
Aleksandr “The Siberian” Sevastyan, the oldest of the brothers and works for the Russian mob, he is especially close to the boss who views him like a son. Then he goes and falls in love with the boss’ long lost daughter.
“When a woman singles me out”—he leaned down to murmur at my ear—“it’s because she wants to get fucked. She looks at the scars and tattoos and knows she’ll get fucked hard.”
The Master
Maksimilian Sevastyan is the middle brother and a successful politician and business man. He needs to be Master in the bedroom and he’s willing to pay for it. Until he meets Catarina and starts to lose his legendary control.
I’d never felt safer with a man—or cheaper. How could he be so tender, so praising? Then so cruel? Everything with him was an extreme.
The pleasure was extreme.
The Player (my favourite!)
Dmitri Sevastyan the youngest brother and a big mystery. Of all the brothers he has suffered the most and for the longest. But, he’s found the one thing that gives him hope…Victoria and he will do everything in his considerable power to ensure she’s his.
“There are two things you should know about me, Victoria. One, I will play games with you.”
Warmth flooded my body, centering between my thighs. I swallowed. “What’s the other thing, big guy?”
He palmed the back of my head, drawing me close. Yet then he hesitated, as if relishing that he was about to kiss me. “You will like my games.”
Don’t forget to pick up the trilogy!

Annnnnd I will stop myself there, before I start waxing lyrical about my love of historical romance and fantasy as well; no one needs to know about my elf fantasies. As you can tell, I adore and day dream about most romance genres, and my three big loves are 1) reading about romance 2) writing about romance and 3) talking about romance with my gals. Which, is why I love Under the Covers so much, I get all my bookish needs satisfied and don’t get judged when I talk about my favourite characters like they are real people. Which they are right?

Gah! I loved these books and I’m holding out hope that Cole will revisit the series and write Jessica’s story. She was the completely outrageous best friend of the heroine in the Professional and made an appearance in each of the books.
