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.

10 Scorching hot stars!

10 Scorching hot stars!!! This story had me at the first word. No one weaves a story with wicked twists and curves like Zoe Blake! An incredibly strong, powerful, hot Russian who does not accept the word “no”. Spellbinding and captivating. The narrators are amazing!!!

I bought this book so, no return.

The storyline was good. He was a controlling, sadistic misogynist He claimed he loved her yet never explained the rules and ways of Dom and Submissive. He created a “Pavlov dog” every time he “punished her” for things she didn’t know or understood the “bell rang” he conditioned her to like pain. Toward the end he became more human but…

Yes Please!

Absolutely loved this book. The female narrator is a bit annoying in the beginning but she gets way better. I was so sad for this story to come to an end! I need more!

Fun but somewhat dark romance

Gruff , overbearing, Russian mobster meets a sweet , naive college student and proceeds to make her his.
