Story
I didn't come to her apartment planning to tie her to her bed and ravage her. A Russian arms dealer has no need for an innocent schoolteacher. I would have done what I came to do and left, but when she opened those gorgeous red lips and threatened to scream I knew she would be screaming long before I was finished with her.

Story
Handsome and mysterious, he swoops in to offer me a new life, but this is no knight in shining armor. He’s cold, hardened by his past. But there’s an inferno underneath the ice. I can feel the heat each time he looks at me - each time he gives in to the desire between us. No matter how much I push to unleash the fire in his eyes, he shoves back harder each time. He’s merciless with his cruel words, telling me how naive I am, how little I know of the world.

Story
Dante Marino’s the definition of beautiful destruction. Everything he touched, he destroyed...including me. We were friends. Then we weren't. He used me. Played me. Took every ounce of my affection and threw it away. He became my enemy, then risked everything to save me. Now, he wants me back, claiming he's changed - determined to make me his. Each vow, every possessive kiss, feels like he’s mine. But I can't forget that underneath his rock-hard body, seductive grin, and wicked promises, one thing will always remain true - he's my undoing.

I kissed my father’s best friend, and it kind of didn’t go well. Not only because he’s 18 years older than me - but he also didn’t like it. Not one bit. In my defense, I didn’t mean to fall for him. It just happened. Nathaniel Weaver is the most attractive man I’ve ever seen with enough charisma to blind the sun. He’s bigger than the world, owns half of it, and conquered the other half. He was forbidden. Wrong. So I totally got over him. Or so I told myself. Until we’re forced to get married.

He’s a ruthless stranger. One I can’t see, only feel, thanks to my friends who make a deal with him on my behalf. No names. No personal details. No face to etch into my mind. Just him, me, and an expensive silk tie. What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas. He warns me he’s full of danger. I never see that side of him. All I experience is his Russian accent, delicious scent, and touch that lights me on fire. One incredible night turns into two. Then we go our separate ways. But fate doesn't keep us apart.

On the run from ruthless killers, I take a job at a remote mountain estate tutoring a little boy. It's the ideal shelter from the storm that has engulfed my life, but there is a catch. The boy's father is the most beautiful, most dangerous man I've ever met. Darkly seductive and filthy rich, Nikolai Molotov is as magnetic as he is enigmatic. Bruised knuckles and tailored suits, tender endearments and dirty promises—everything about my new employer draws me in, even as my instincts warn that my safe haven just might be the devil's lair. My protector may turn out to be my captor.

With my brother on his deathbed, it’s up to me to provide and protect what’s left of my broken family. I do things I never thought I’d be capable of, becoming a person so hardened to the world that when I look in the mirror, all I see is a stranger. When a twist of fate lands me at rock bottom, I make the ultimate decision and give away the only thing I have left - my freedom. I belong to them now…the Beast. The Brains. The Bastard.

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.

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?

WARNING: Trigger Alert
The first five chapters of the book describe Emma's rape by Dimitri. Once she gets away from her rapist, her roommate calls her a slut for losing her virginity to a rapist "with a pirate scar." It goes downhill for another hour from there. Couldn't finish the book it was so poorly written. The only saving grace were the narrators.
If you are looking for a good Russian Bratva audiobook series - go check out JT Geissinger's Queens and Monsters.
Sweet Cruelty is NOT creditworthy.

Great book!
Dimitri was an over-the-top alpha and became extremely possessive and obsessed with Emma. With him, no meant nothing. He was filthy rich and when she knocked on his door by mistake looking for someone else, all bets are off. I hope Emma's best friend and Dimitri's best friend get books of their own. Lauren Sweet and Tor Thom did a great job with the narration. Tor Thom did an especially good job with the Russian accent.

LOVE
I love this book so much. It has been one of my favorites for a while. It is my go to when I can't decide what I want to read next. I was so excited to see that it was available on audible. I like to listen to books while I am working, doing chores around the house or when I want to actively want to ignore my husband and kids.
Lauren Sweet and Tor Thom had very pleasant voices to listen to. I found Lauren easier to listen hear clearly, probably because Tor's voice was significantly deeper so I had to focus more to hear him clearly, especially when he is using a Russian accent. Overall, the listening experience was great.
