Length: 7 hrs and 5 mins

Publisher's summary

She couldn't have known the danger she faced when she dared to steal from me.

She was too young for a man my age, barely in her twenties. Far too pure and untouched.

Unfortunately for her, that wasn't going to stop me. The moment I laid eyes on her, I claimed her. Determined to make her mine… by any means necessary.

I owned Chicago's most elite gambling club, a front for my role as a Russian Mafia crime boss. She was a fragile little bird who had just flown straight into my open jaws. Naïve and sweet, she was a temptation I couldn't resist biting.

My intense drive to dominate and control her had become an obsession. I would ruthlessly use my superior strength and wealth to take over her life. The harder she resisted, the more feral and savage I would become.

She needed to understand… she was mine now. Mine.

Sweet Intensity continues the steamy enemies-to-lovers drama featuring the domineering Russian Mafia men of the Ruthless Obsession series. This is the sixth book and part of a new trilogy inside the series. It is a standalone that contains adult themes.

Another Great One!

I love that all the authors FC are strong women even when they sometimes have trauma in their past. Narrator’s were excellent

everything

love these stories and the men in them. how they know what they want and go for it. I could listen to the narrators 24/7. love the accents!

My favorite of the series - have read it twice.

I just love Anton. He is the perfect book boyfriend for me. I just couldn’t get enough.

Brynn and Anton

Zoe Blake's books are so good and this one is no exception. I love the Ruthless Obsession series and hope the next two books come to Audible soon. Anton was very intense practically from the moment he saw Brynn trying to steal in his establishment with Yuri. Yuri was definitely not who Brynn thought he was. Anton wanted to protect her at all times, which was sweet but a bit overwhelming. He was very dominant, possessive, over the top alpha Russian mafia man. You couldn't help but fall for him. I liked Brynn's aunt but her father was a piece of work when she was growing up. The book wrapped up nicely. Lauren Sweet and Tor Thom did a great job with the narration. Tor Thom was awesome as Anton.

Entertaining

Good story and characters. Always only listen to female and males narrators. Recommend highly for the story

“Chef’s Kiss”

I want a daddy Anton of my own! This book. What can I say? I listened to it five times and it is on my favorites rotation.

No story here.

So boring absolutely no story. Waste of credit. Always same first 2 books good then downhill from there.

My Favorite So Far!!!

As someone who has screamed at the top of her lungs about the plight of a reader forced to hear stupid heroine’s do stupid sh*t, this seemed to be along the same lines. However, unlike Emma in Book 1 this girl has a reason to be naive and ridiculous. I found myself softening to her and wishing he would take it easier on her by the midpoint. Tor and Lauren no notes for either of you! Tor is always hot especially in Russian and Lauren Sweet has a man voice that I’m personally in love with especially in Russian.

The spice was on 90 bc these hos were on 100! I really thought the Daddy trope would turn me off as a card carrying Daddy Issue member, but it didn’t make me cringe ( no small feat by any stretch of the imagination). This is another story where the aggression and lack of consent is VERY clear BUT somehow it still works. Belt spanking and all (she got more than others it seemed like) and the clear age gap was still brutally hot. But the premise was kind of refreshing.

MMC aka Daddy is a 40 something Russian mobster. Hot, well known, connected, rich and doesn’t take No. FMC aka Little One showed up with his play nephew with the intention of robbing his gentleman’s club casino. They were caught in the act and both received a very different punishment. Then of course she gave him the wrong address when he let her leave and he had to track her down like a dog to her place of employment. Everything from there on got hotter.

I really felt for this girl. Her backstory is extreme but relatable for a lot of us in one capacity or another. But I was rooting for them more than I think any of the other couples. Worth a credit. One of the greats

You hear a bit about Dimitri and Emma’s baby but it’s a blip.
