Hey everyone, this is Heaving Bozoms, the podcast where two best friends recap romance novels

while go falling, sweating, and every once in a while clutching our pearls.

We've got some brand new patrons to shout out this week.

I'm sending a big warm welcome to Monica P, Emily P, Alison B, Javon, and Carolyn.

And we've got some longer term patrons who absolutely need some love.

So big virtual hugs to Jessica N, Maureen R, Abbey T, Meredith, Tiffany R, Kim D.V, Nora W,

Lucy, and Julia D.K.

Y'all make the show possible.

This week, we are recapping a book that I have heard about for years.

We had a feeling we'd become obsessed, so Sabrina and I built in time to read the next two books

in the Game Maker series for Patreon.

Today, you're getting the professional.

Then this week, patrons can look forward to our recap of book two, The Master.

And next week, we'll recap the player.

We meant to make the Patreon recap both books in one episode,

but it turns out we had so much to squee over in The Master that that wouldn't end up being its own episode.

So the player obviously will get its own as well.

Sabrina and I, just FYI, loved the player.

So, without further ado, here's our recap of book one in the Game Maker series,

The Professional by Cressley Cole.

Enjoy!

I can't remember what came after three for a second.
