About this listen

I must pay for the sins of my father with the only thing I have of any value....

My virginity.

I will be auctioned. Sold. Shared. Ruined. And then tossed away.

It’s a sacrifice I must make to save Daddy, to those seeking revenge for his mounting offenses. But when I become a pawn in a dangerous game played by two rival Russian mafia factions, it seems I might have some leverage.

They will fight over me. And in doing so, destroy each other.

Daddy might have promised me, but I will turn the tables. It’s suddenly not so cruel anymore. Until I realize I’m no match for the Alekseev brothers. The three of them are ruthless and mean and make me shake with fear. Or is it excitement?

This hot, over-the-top Russian Mafia romance is about sexy, dangerous men who'll stop at nothing to pursue and protect the women they want. If you love outrageously naughty stories as a way to indulge your not-so-secret bad girl side, this is for you.

So, let's talk about "Cruel Promise" by Mika Lane. Honestly, I'm kind of torn on this one.

First off, big shoutout to the narrators, Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott, who absolutely killed it with the audio version. They brought the characters to life in a way that kept me hooked from start to finish. The pacing was on point, and each character felt distinct and well-rounded.

But here's the thing: I'm not usually into mafia romance. The whole world of violence and depravity just isn't my cup of tea. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all about dark, twisted romances, but something about mafia stories never quite clicks for me.

That being said, I have to give credit where it's due. "Cruel Promise" is undeniably well-written. Lane knows how to spin a tale that grabs your attention and keeps you guessing. If mafia romance is your jam, then you'll probably eat this up.

As for me, I'm curious to see where the story goes in book #2 after that killer cliffhanger. Who knows, maybe it'll win me over yet.
