Story
You know the story where the hero comes in and saves the day, rescuing the heroine right in the nick of time? This isn't that story. Instead of a knight in shining armor, he's a sexy, tatted-up Bratva boss with a reputation for being brutal and fierce. Vasily finds me after I've already been brought to my lowest—broken by cruel men until I barely recognize myself. He doesn't offer me salvation. He offers me protection and revenge. And I gladly take it. Because I don't need a knight in shining armor. I need a villain who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.

I love flowers. Being a botanist has always been my dream, but life got in the way—and, nowadays, I have a job at the flower shop near my crummy apartment. So that's something, right? Maybe it's not in the best neighborhood, but it's a bright spot in a dirty city, and at least there are usually cops around. I've noticed one in particular lately, keeping an eye on the shop.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back. Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life. It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius.

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.

The Russian and the librarian... dominance and innocence
Emma needs help with her tuition and doesn't realise someone else has moved in. It's now Dimitri's home, and he was expecting an escort.
That's the start of their story and involves a very dominant Russsian and an innocent librarian.
This was an enjoyable story. There was a lot of leading by Dimitri and a lot of following by Emma, but that was to be expected with this storyline.
I read on Kindle and read along on Audible. Curiously, there were a lot of differences between the two mediums.

It took awhile to work out...
I couldn't put my finger on exactly why this book fell short for me until near the end.
There is WAY to much internal dialogue from both characters at critical moments. Right in the middle of sex or during a kidnapping moment it would meander off into a lengthy explanation that made you forget what was actually happening. It made the sex scenes tiresome and boring and what little action there was fall flat.
The other problem was the male narrator didn't pair his voice with the explanation of the emotion Dimitri was supposed to be feeling. He would be speaking in a calm monotone when it says Dimitri was furious, frantic, aroused...it didn't fit. Other than deepening his voice occasionally he didn't really change. The 3 stars for performance is for the female narrator...she was quite good.
As to the story there really isn't one. The beginning was very dub-con and Dimitri was OTT controlling over someone he had barely spoken a complete sentence to or listened to a complete sentence from.
Insta love on steroids from both sides but we had to listen to endless internal dialogue from Emma regarding how hot he was, no he is a criminal, oh he is just too sexy, no he is too controlling, oh I'm too horny to say no, but wait you guessed it she does...play, rewind, repeat.
Again the tired troupe of bad boy meets innocent virgin though the author tried to make it slightly more palatable by making Emma 23yrs old. God only knows how old Dimitri is - I might have slept thru that part 😴

Intense
Narrators were captivating, especially Tor Thom.
Plot did have a borderline Non Con scene in the beginning so please be mindful of that when listening. Found Female POV could drone on about unnecessary details sometimes. No cheating or OW drama.

Good story
Good story but it definitely needed more s*x. There were a few scenes that were discussed but we’re not elaborated on.
For example, Dimitri goes down on Emma in the shower, but there is no detail or dialogue of said scene.
More dialogue between Dimitri & Emma during s*x scenes would’ve made this story hotter.
Also the statement ‘you’ll be the death of me’ being constantly said was a little annoying.
The narrators did a good job.
