Sweet Animosity

Ruthless Obsession, Book 8

By: Zoe Blake

Narrated by: Tor Thom, Lisa Zimmerman

I never asked for an assistant, and if I had, I sure as hell wouldn't have chosen her.

With her sharp tongue and lack of discipline, what she needs is a firm hand, not a job. The more she tests my limits, the more tempted I am to bend her over my knee.

As a Russian Mafia boss, I can't afford distractions... or secrets. I suspect my innocent new assistant is hiding something, and I know just how to get to the truth.

It's high time she understands who holds the power in our relationship. So I'll keep her close, controlling her every move. But I am no longer after information—I want her mind, body, and soul. She underestimated the stakes of our dangerous game and now owes a heavy price.

She's mine now.

Mine.

Sweet Animosity continues the steamy, enemies-to-lovers drama featuring the domineering Russian Mafia men of Zoe's Ruthless Obsession series. This is the eighth novel and part of a new trilogy in Zoe Blake's Ruthless Obsession series. It is a standalone for mature listeners.

Vivian and Var

This book was so good. I love Zoe Blake's male main characters. When they have their eye on that one woman, they are obsessed and very possessive. Vivian was an art forger. She meets Var after she falls out of the ceiling when trying to find the person that she created the art for so he could pay her. Unfortunately, he was dead. Vivian gave Var a run for his money. She was so funny, had a smart mouth and was not afraid to use it, even though Var was Russian mafia. The banter between these two was so funny. She also did stupid things that could put her in danger. Var tried to keep her safe, but she fought him every step. Tor Thom and Lisa Zimmerman were great!

Redemption

After listening to book 7, I thought I was done with the series. I absolutely hated it. It was an assault after an assault after an assault. The main character had Stockholm syndrome. I mistakenly listened to #7 before #6, because it had been a good amount of time since I had listened to the other books. I hesitantly listened to #6 after the horrors of #7 only because I was questioning how I had liked the prior books. I was relieved to find I enjoyed #6, therefore, with trepidation I tried #8. I loved it. In fact I think it might be my favorite of the series. I'm really glad I gave it a chance.

Sweet Severity

Zoe Blake is one of my favorite authors. I loved this book. It had a perfect ending.

Sassy FMC

Vivian is a funny and sassy art forger who stumbles across the Russian mafia man Var. Their banter is hysterical and adds to their chemistry. I’m all for an alpha MMC, but Var takes it overboard. You can include CNC as one of the TWs. Overall, it was an entertaining read.

chemistry off the charts

I love the whole ruthless obsession series. Zoe Blake is a favorite writer of mine. The narration from Tor Thom is so sexy.
