About this listen
A top 30 Amazon best seller
King (noun):
1) Having the highest rank in a dominance hierarchy
2) The most powerful man in a group
3) Liam Black
He was a stranger to me, a dark and dangerous presence who materialized from the shadows one rainy night to save me from a vicious attack. I didn’t know his name or where he was from. All I knew was that the only place I’d ever felt safe was in his arms.
But safety is an illusion. And not every savior is a hero.
And - as I’d soon find out - having a king save your life comes with a price.
Liam Black wanted something from me in return.

The first time I saw him, I knew I'd never want another man the way I wanted him. The second time, I drank a bottle of his most expensive cognac, which I'd never be able to afford on my own. And the third time… well, he caught me stealing from him. Stealing from the head of the Irish Mafia wasn't smart. But then I never claimed to be. Now I owed him a debt… a big one. And it couldn't be settled with money, or favors.

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

A few months ago, I agreed to be my sister's surrogate. Then she died in an unsolved accident. I swore I'd keep her child and raise it on my own.

He's also the one who killed my sister in the first place.

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.

A dark Mafia romance - great audio!
Wow!!! I picked up this story because I'm eager to read Killian's story which is book 2 (loved him in the dangerous series). So I am very excited to have loved Liam so much. I did listen to this on audio and I have to admit the Irish brogue and the narration made this the best experience. I love when a book is narrated in this way, where all male voices are done by the male and the same for females.
Liam has been coming to the diner where Truvy works for a year. They have chemistry, but Liam has secrets and he doesn't want to put Truvy in harm's way. But sometimes desire, lust and love are stronger than all of the best intentions!!!

More please!
Liam Black is everything. (that is all)
The narrators did an outstanding job. I mean who can turn down a good Irishman.
I really liked this story. Not the typical mobster shoot for love romance. Ok fine there's stalking and a coercion/ kidnapping living situation thing but it's so sweet!!!
I did like that how both were strong willed. it added a nice flair. I found this book has a lovely balance of character development and delivery scenes. Not erotic, more slow burn that ignites.
I'm excited for book 2!

Sexy; Gritty; Intriguing !
Sexy gritty romance topped with an intriguing air of mystery. My favourite type of book. There are some ethical issues but this is a fictional book set in a darker world. The main characters are well developed and enticing. Supporting characters are amusing and developed in clever ways. There is the added bonus of humour thrown in the mix. Narrator did a superb job.

The Irish Mob is here and we are in for a ride
Troy Duran can be the head of my Irish Mob whenever he wants. He and narrator Marnye Young bring Tru and Liam to life and OMG there is a lot of life here! J.T. Geissinger is one of my go to mafia writers and the duet narrated book was pure enjoyment for me.

Amazing narration!
I love duet narration (when each narrator performs their own role) and Troy Duran has quickly become one of my favourite narrators. The story was well written and wonderfully read/performed by all involved.

Book: Beautifully Cruel
Author: J.T. Geissinger
Rating: 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This was an amazing book!
I actually finished the queens & monsters series before I knew this one even existed, but I loved it so much I knew I had to go back and read this one. And of course I am so happy I did!
This one had a super grumpy/scary mafia man who is just obsessed with the FMC and treats her like the queen she is.
This one is definitely on the darker side and it had some suspenseful moments.
You get:
• Dark Romance
• Spicy
• Irish Mafia
• Forced Proximity
• Found Family
• Banter
• Protective MMC
I really recommend this one! Available on KU, ebook, paperback, and audiobook.

My only regret is that it wasn’t longer. The story had a slow burn. Characters were voiced so nicely and conveyed emotion for a breathtaking performance. The author is a genius. This book is funny, some angst, dirty, clever, and more. You’ll enjoy!!
