Publisher's summary

It started with an accidental dirty voicemail. It ended with my boss’s baby in my belly.

One butt dial changed my life forever.
Ruslan Oryolov went from boss to baby daddy in the blink of an eye.
But other stuff changed along the way, too.
I learned who Ruslan is—who he really is.
I learned that the children I’ve come to love as my own can’t stay in this city anymore.
I’ve learned that none of us can.

So we’re running.
But of course, Ruslan won’t let us go that easily.
And when he learns about what I’m taking from him—the baby in my belly—he makes me a promise.
A very, very cruel promise.
No matter where you go...no matter how far or how fast you flee...I will always find you.

Cruel Promise is Book Two of the Oryolov Bratva duet. Ruslan and Emma’s story begins in Book One, Cruel Paradise.

The love and protection of these wonderful children

I loved the narration. Both books Cruel Promise and Cruel Paradise were amazing books. I loved how their affair started and how it evolved. I love that these two individuals put the children first. I loved the children’s personalities. Totally charming and worthy of a read.

Extremely good…

This was a great follow up to Book 1. Though not quite as good, it was still fantastic.

Best book I have listened to in a loonnngggg time !

See above. Best book in years!! None of the stupid parts where the listeners goes “come on… any person would jump on that opportunity… or quit being so righteous “. None of that and it’s amazing and both part 1 and 2 amazing!!!

Always guessing..

I loved the multidimensional twisting storyline ! This was one of those series that kept you wanting more.. I was so happy I waited to get these books until after both were written! I’d have gone insane waiting for book 2!

Love the story!

I absolutely love this book. The story was full of suspense and passion. I wish we heard more on what happened to the children’s father and the dad of the main male character. Such betrayal deserves at least some form of happiness/ recovery at the end. Still love the book and the author!
