About this item

What’s more embarrassing than a butt dial?
Butt dialing your boss…
And leaving a dirty voicemail when you’re uhh… “thinking” about them.

Working as Ruslan Oryolov’s personal assistant is the job from hell.
After a long day spent tending to the billionaire’s every whim, I need some stress relief.
So when I get home that night, that’s exactly what I do.

Problem is, my thoughts are still stuck on the bosshole who’s ruining my life.
That’s fine—because of all Ruslan’s many sins, being gorgeous might be the most dangerous.
Tonight, fantasies of him are just what I need to push me over the edge.

But when I look down at my phone squished next to me,
There it is.
A voicemail for 7 minutes and 32 seconds…
Sent to Ruslan Oryolov.

I panic and throw my phone across the room.
But there is no undoing the damage done by my very vocal O.

So what can I do?
My plan was to just avoid him and act like it never happened.
Besides, no one that busy checks their voicemails, right?

But when he schedules a one-on-one meeting with me for exactly 7 minutes and 32 seconds,
One thing is for certain:
He.
Heard.
Everything.

CRUEL PARADISE is Book One of the Oryolov Bratva duet. Ruslan and Emma’s story concludes in Book Two, CRUEL PROMISE.

    An interesting concept and a great love story but not unforeseen! I really like the little twist towards the end while Emma is being doctored for all her cuts & checked out
    thoroughly!
    I laughed & completely enjoyed it!
    Men! How can they be so stubborn and so absolutely… pathetic & stupid! You have to love them and keep on loving them in spite of themselves.

    WOW!!! I didn't think that I'll start the 2025 year with such i captivating book. I must say i loved every single minute of this book and the fact that i read it in one sitting must say it all. I loved the plot and how it always kept me on my toes. I loved that the author took her time making the relationships count. I love the kids and how much involved they are in the story and i loved how much i got to know the main characters as well. I had a great time with the spicy scenes and with the plot twists as well!!!!! I don't know what else is left to say, to be honest. I loved it and i think it's 4 stars cause it ends in a cliffhanger and i want the rest of the story so I'll IMMEDIATELY start the next book!!!!

    What a great book! I can’t wait to read the second one. I’m so glad I don’t have to wait to start the second book. I love the main characters and how their relationship plays out. I loved the back and forth between Emma and ruslov. I love how, no matter what Emma is still strong and still moving for the kids.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Slow start…100 pages too long.

    Tighter, more concise would have made for a better read. Totally could see the twists coming which could have been improved by tighter writing.

    Would have given it 3.75 stars if I could have, but went with 4 since I had to choose an even number.
