Story
He made me his before I even knew his name. When a gorgeous brute with piercing eyes and a body meant for sin washed up at my lakeshore beach, everything about him screamed out in warning. But I was still soaking wet and ready for him when he stripped me bare, his mouth, his hands, and his belt all demanding my complete surrender.

Story
She began as my obsession. I made her my possession. As the oldest brother of the most brutal crime family in Chicago, whatever I want is mine to take. Including her. The first time I heard Emily Martin play, the strains of her cello soothed the beast inside in a way nothing ever has before. With a single look at her angelic face, she became my obsession, and from that moment on, I knew nothing would keep me from making her mine and mine alone. But taking her captive wasn't enough. I needed her complete submission.

Story
Ruthless and brutal, I was considered nothing but a cold-hearted beast, a man with no conscience, incapable of caring for anyone. My family's dark, mafia regime had a merciless hold on Miami, our wealth and savagery well known. There was no room for emotions, no heart of soul allowed and that was fine by me. When I was notified I'd been willed my estranged grandfather's ranch in Colorado, it became just another acquisition in my powerful estate.

When I caught her sneaking into my home, I thought Raven was just a girl doing a silly sorority dare, so I set her bare ass on fire with my belt and then taught her a much more shameful lesson. My seed was already dripping down her thighs before I learned she's my enemy's daughter. That's when I decided I would be keeping her. And that I'd be making her my bride.

But the real shock came the next day. That's when I discovered that the gorgeous, violet-eyed brute who made me scream in bed last night is one of the most powerful mafia bosses in the city, and as the future district attorney, I've just been tasked with putting him behind bars for life.

It was dark and savage, as if at any moment he might lose control completely and take me like a beast takes his mate, mounting and rutting me and marking me as his with every brutal climax.

Being attracted to her isn't wrong…but acting on it would be. As the patriarch of the powerful and wealthy Cavalieri family, my choices come with consequences for everyone around me. The roots of my ancestral, billionaire-dollar winery stretch deep into the rich Italian soil, as does our legacy of ruthlessness and scandal. It isn't the fact she is half my age that makes her off-limits. Nothing is off-limits for me. A wounded bird caught in a trap not of her own making, she poses no risk to me. My obsessive desire to possess her is the real problem—for both of us.

Cain, Hunter, and Cristiano were heirs to some of the richest and most powerful families in the world, men who might as well have been kings. Ten years ago, they took an interest in me. Or at least that’s what happens in the fleeting memories I still have left after the car accident. I never expected to see them again, until the day a ruthless Chicago crime boss and two of his closest friends came to watch my show and then decided they wanted to see more of me. By the time the memory of their faces returned, I already knew I wouldn’t be able to forget them.

Publisher's summary
I knew one taste of her would never be enough. So I made her mine.
As the head of the most powerful mafia family in Chicago, I can buy anything I want. But this beautiful ballerina whose innocence soothes the savage beast within me isn't for sale.
She'll still be mine.
Helpless and vulnerable, my sweetest possession will dance over my knee as I paint her bare ass a delicious shade of pink, then writhe and moan and beg as she comes for me again and again.
I could break her easily, but she's too perfect to break.
So I'll just bend her to my will instead.
Publisher's Note: Controlled is the second book in the Cruel Kings series but can be listened to as a standalone. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Gah, this stole my heart!
Controlled is book #2 in the Cruel Kings series. I loved Captured (book #1), but I think I loved this one just a little bit more. Creed (the monster you can't help but love) and Bella are again the Beauty and the Beast-ish type story. The author just keeps the story moving with twists and turns, intrigue, suspense, some funny banter, and smexy times to make you melt!🔥 Yeah...it's just that good. I love a series that just grabs hold of you and doesn't let go.
Once again, Skyler Morgan brought his A game to voice all the characters. 5/5 stars
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Absolutely, Beautifully, Brilliant!
Creed … The Maestro … The Don … he saw her dance, and something within him KNEW, she would be his salvation. She’d be HIS, and nothing, no one, would stand in the way! Bella, beautiful innocent Bella … though her past, her very existence is shrouded in pain and mystery, she lives to dance, the ballet is her life! When nefarious ne’er do wells rear THEIR ugly heads, the situation needs to be “Controlled”, and “Controlled” is A Dark Mafia Romance done beautifully, brilliantly RIGHT! Get comfortable, make sure the edge of your seat is well padded … you’ll be spending a good amount of time there … have snacks, cold drinks with plenty of ice handy and get ready to be totally immersed in the world of The Cruel Kings! This is book two, Creeds story and I was instantly transported into a world where crime families rule and jockey for position, where deals are made and sealed in blood and betrayal. Both Creed and Bella bear emotional scars from their respective upbringings. The details are at times horrifyingly heartbreaking and will be left for future listeners to discover, far be it for me to engage in spoilers! The characters, ALL the characters, not just the leads, are perfectly defined, detailed, and beautifully human. I truly felt as if I came to not only KNOW Creed and Bella, but gleaned a deeper understanding of Styx and Easton as well as the various ne’er do wells and supporting characters! This understanding is so much of what allows me to become totally immersed in a story! Extremely well plotted, the story itself was riveting! I love twists, turns and surprises and I was not disappointed! Of course, I’ll not be giving up the goods here, that just wouldn’t be right, but know that their story is seeped mystery and suspense, their road paved with action, twists, turns, surprises, searing delicious heat, AND a perfectly timed reveal that will answer all your questions! The bonus for me was the epilogue that not only satisfied me completely, but brought me to tears! I can’t wait for book three! The icing on the proverbial cake was the narration! Smooth … sultry … perfectly timed, perfectly paced, one hundred percent believable AND at all times emotionally convincing, leaving no doubt as this beautiful story came vibrantly ALIVE as I listened, that THIS was exactly the “feel”, the VISION the author intended! Five fantastic stars across all categories! Amazing!
