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.

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!!!

Amazing!!

This was a great ending to the dual. Love was much stronger and in the end it prevailed. 🥰 you will still get the drama, the fighting, the mystery, the steamy parts and overall the love. ❤️

MCs lack common sense

I found myself quite annoyed with Emma and yelling out loud at her while listening to both books. She had too much empathy to the detriment of the children in some cases. I was also annoyed with the MMC because I knew who was behind it from the first book. I didn’t understand why he couldn’t figure that out at least nor why he would be gracious to people who don’t deserve it when he is supposed to be this ruthless CEO and head of the bratva. He also didn’t have the cunning that I would assume someone in his position would have. I liked how everything ended but I felt like the book could have been a bit shorter if they didn’t spend so much time with the continuous back and forth and repeating the same mistakes again and again. Good book but not a repeat listen for me.
