Summary

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.

Sweet Seductive and Sexy

A brilliant story with amazing characters that keep you enthralled with their story. If you’re not vanilla this book is definitely worth reading or listening to.

Sweet Cruelty

Awful! I only got as far as the end of the 3rd chapter. The mmc was cruel, self centred and refused to listen when the fmc said no several times. When he realises she was a virgin and wonders if she is even of legal age, he is still determined to continue! (She was, but still….) I have to warn readers that this wasn’t dub con - it was rape! I usually like dark romance but this was too much for me!

Insta everything

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.

🔥🔥❤️ Hot romance

First time listening to this author and the book was surprisingly good. I really enjoyed it, I do tend to avoid sweet little librarian stories but this one was worth a listen. The narrators did an excellent job. 5 ⭐️

Straightforward story

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.

Deliciously hot and romantic

Good girl Emma meets Russian arms dealer Dimitri

She is a sweet virgin and he is a cruel criminal

The story is full of hot 🥵 scenes and some BDSM… I loved how Dimitri embraced his protective and possessive instincts towards Emma, and how Emma allowed herself to be open not only sexually but emotionally

This is a very sweet romance with tons of triggers… so please check those. There’s dub con and lots of spanking

Did I mentioned this is really hot?
