About this listen

Catherine's father conspired to have my father killed, and that debt to the Benedetti family must be settled. Just as he took something from me, I will take something from him.

His daughter.

She will be mine to punish and ravage, but when she suffers, it will not be for his sins.

It will be for my pleasure.

She will beg, but it will be for me to claim her in the most shameful ways imaginable.

She will scream, but it will be because she doesn't think she can bear another climax.

But when she surrenders at last, it will not be to her captor.

It will be to her husband.

Publisher's Note: Cruel Prince is a stand-alone novel which is the first entry in the Benedetti Empire series. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

I love this series. Cruel Prince is an absolutely marvellous start to the Benedetti Empire series. The story is wonderfully written, passionate, steamy, wrapped in family and loyalties, betrayal, secrets, danger, suspense, drama, and unforeseen twists. The character, plot, and storyline development are superb; my attention was caught from the beginning to the very last word. Matteo is the oldest of the three Benedetti brothers and set to take over the family business after his father is murdered. Catherine is given to Matteo by her father, who is suspected to be involved in the murder. She is strong-minded, independent, defiant, and not pleased with this arrangement. Matteo and Catherine are absolutely amazing, and the chemistry was something else; beyond scorching hot with an explosive connection.

Stellar narration by Thomas Locklear. I absolutely loved his performance; it was very authentic. He flawlessly captured the nuances of the characters' personalities, emotions, attraction, and connection. I was able to picture the characters' faces and the scenes. All in all, Cruel Prince was a fantastic listen, and one I'll strongly recommend.
