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.

Story
I was the girl no one looked at twice. Until they saw me. My whole life, no one has had my back. My parents are dead, my adoptive mother is a drug addict, and the mean girls on campus mock me for my scars. So when I end up desperate for money and out of options, I agree to sell the one thing I have left: my innocence. On the night I’m meant to give my body to a brutal Russian mobster, three men storm into the room like dark shadows and kill him before he can claim me. When they drag me from the blood-soaked bed, I’m certain they’re going to kill me too.

Wolf shifters are real. And, three alphas have claimed me as their mate. For years, I've been kept prisoner by my uncle, hidden like a piece of trash in the basement of his house - beaten, broken, and neglected, hated by him for reasons I can't even understand. But, one night on the back roads of rural Montana, I see a chance for escape. And, I take it. I run...straight into the arms of a naked man. No. Not a man. A wolf. Ridge, the man with dark hair and honey-colored eyes, is the alpha of the North Pack.

From the outside, I live a charmed life: hockey legend for a father, my own promising future in the league, a great family, awesome friends. It’s not untrue, but it’s not quite that simple either. My dad’s advice has always been to make hockey my number-one priority—at least until I make it to the pros. So going into my senior year of college, I have a plan. I’ll put in the effort required to pass my classes, play hockey like my life depends on it, and avoid relationships. All I have to do is stay focused on the end game. It should be easy.

I never planned to give my V-card to a gorgeous stranger I met at a bar. But for once I didn't let myself overthink things. In the few hours we spent together, he managed to push me outside my comfort zone. And I loved every second. I never expected to see him again. Let alone sitting at the head of the boardroom table during my architectural firm's pitch to design his new hotel chain.

It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old". Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.

And it would have been deadly, too. If he wasn’t there to save me. My unsuspecting hero. He was rugged, wild, and powerful. The way he looked at me set me on fire.

Still riding the high from last night, I walk in to meet my new client, and he’s wearing that same dangerous smirk. Yes, I’m consulting for Callahan Sharpe. That Callahan Sharpe. Billionaire heir who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy. Luckily, and unluckily for me, I’m tasked to help.

My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

The quintessential question asked to every couple. And the answer is usually some bubbly, lovey dovey tale of being struck in the bum by Cupid’s arrow. My meet cute (well, not so meet cute) is slightly different. I was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me as their bride, you know, to make my arch nemesis jealous who consequently just fired me.

With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. So of course she isn't interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet's misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.

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.

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!!
