Bound to Cruelty

A Dark Bodyguard Mafia Romance (The Doubeck Crime Family Series)

By: J. L. Beck, Monica Corwin

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly, Aaron Shedlock

I’m the shadows that reach out and take a bite. No one sees me coming, which is why I’m sent to do the things even our fearless leader won’t touch.

After months of watching our enemies, it’s time to take them out. I’m ready to feel their blood on my hands, their worthless lives ground to dust.

But I don’t get the chance when a dark haired beauty comes crashing into my plans, seeking sanctuary from our enemies. Now I’m stuck on guard duty, babysitting a mafia princess.

As tensions rise, the flames of desire flicker between us. We shouldn’t cross that line.

I’m too dark, cruel, and sinister for her.

I swear I’ll watch over her, protect her from anyone and anything. But there’s one thing I can’t protect her from: me.

This is a complete standalone within the series and contains dark themes that may not be suitable for all listeners.

not as good as book 3

but still not as awful as the first pair. thankfully I think I can imagine how the series will progress, we'll enough, so I'm not aggravated to stop here.

Good story, bad narrators

I’m not sure how this narrator got hired for this but, just awful. IF she narrates anything, it shouldn’t be a crime family.

story is ok. shedlock does great. Kelly not so muc

the woman Kelly reads the book.....oddly. like she doesn't know when a sentence ends and seems to detached from the story. I feel like if shedlock did everything himself, it probably would have been a lot better. FMC is a hypocrite though....and clueless

Female narrator 👎

The female narrators inflections during words & sentences isn’t natural in any way, shape, or form. It’s incredibly distracting. I get lost wondering why she speaks/reads this way.

eh I don't know how to feel

the female narrator is very monotoned and make the emotions dull but other than that good book with some plot holes (to my knowledge I didn't read the series just this one )
