Story
For weeks, I've been watching her. Stalking her. Now, it's time to start playing with my beautiful little pawn. From the moment I first saw her from afar, I knew she would become my prized possession. I will gaslight her into thinking she is my obedient ward, trapped in the Victorian era. She is my unwilling captive, forced to play my sadistic game for her own survival. She will have no choice but to bow to my rules and discipline. In time, her memories of a modern life will fade. If not, she will pay a painful price.

Story
Callum Griffin is the heir to the Irish mafia. He’s ruthless, arrogant, and he wants to kill me. We got off on the wrong foot when I set a (very small) fire in his house. Our families believe a marriage pact is the only thing that will prevent all-out warfare. I think I might need to murder him while he sleeps. This would all be a lot easier if Callum wasn’t so damned good-looking.

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.

Publisher's 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.

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 Mary, and Dimitri's best friend, Vaska, 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.
