About this listen

It was an innocent mistake; she knocked on the wrong door. It was mine.

If I were a better man, I would've just let her go. But I'm not. I'm a cruel bastard. I ruthlessly claimed her virtue for my own. It should've been enough but it wasn't

I needed more...I craved it.

She became my obsession. Her sweetness and purity taunted my dark soul. The need to possess her nearly drove me mad. A Russian arms dealer had no business pursuing a naive librarian student. She didn't belong in my world. I would bring her only pain. But it was too late...she was mine and I was keeping her.

Sweet Cruelty is a dark romance stand-alone novel intended for mature audiences.

Insta-love, insta-lust, dominant male, naive female, fast pace story. I didn't really get to know the characters or the relationship. The sex was rough and I'm usually fine with that but this felt a bit rapey. Always pain and no safeword and no consent (sometimes the opposite). If they're gonna play they should have safewords so that's a big no for me.

I absolutely love this story. The contrast of Emma and Dimitri makes it wholesome. Though I prefer reading, being able to listen saves me time. Great story telling as well.

Straightforward story

This entire series is full of women described as strong, confident and firecrackers. No matter the situation or the line, the male narrator always reads all female dialog as demure and breathless. Completely breaks the immersion every time.

Male narrator ruins all female lines
