Sweet Cruelty

Ruthless Obsession

By: Zoe Blake

Narrated by: Lauren Sweet, Tor Thom

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.

Dangerous, Delicious & Dirty

This may be my first listen by Author Zoe Blake. Oh how I love the beauty & beast aspect of the story. What I did not care for was the non-consensual sex. No means no! I don't think the story needed it and the sex that was throughout the book was decadent and delicious.

Lauren Sweet is one of my favorite female narrators and was the perfect ingenue & vixen. Tor Tom is in my top 20 of male narrators. While I enjoyed him as the lead man but did not care for the parts with his "Russian " accent. Needs a little more work. It actually made me laugh at certain parts. My hubby asked me what I was laughing at; so I play him a portion and he got it. He asked if the whole book was like that? I told him thankfully no it wasn't. Tom speaking Russian was different that talking Russian (this will make more sense when you listen)

All in all, Sweet Cruelty was a dangerously delicious & dirty. Enjoy!

Perfect

This was perfectly written. I smiled, I swooned and I screamed with excitement. I’m about to download book 2

I'm here for the long haul!

Author is new to me but I'm here to stay!
Narration was perfection!
Story/Pacing spot on!
& the smut!
OMG
🔥🥵

love Dimitri

I fell in love with the hot Russian man. Zoe Blake knows how to capture her audience.

silly and over the top

I have mixed feelings about this book. I listen to it but it's a silly book that has no substance. If I had not bought it I would not have finished it
