About this listen

The first time they met was all about pleasure. Then she betrayed him. So, now he’s back...to punish. And he plans to play dirty. Filthy, even.

Meet Damien Skolov: ex-cage fighter, current family enforcer, hot-headed royal warlord. Sure, she broke his heart, but he’s over it now. This time, his return is all about the mission—and revenge.

Then there’s Scarlett: ex-dancer, current liar, protector of those she loves. Until Damien explodes back into her life, bringing chaos, vengeance, and the same forbidden need she’s tried to suppress since he left.

Keeping her secrets from him is essential.

Except Damien Skolov never fights fair.

Filthy Royal: A Dark Fated-Mates Romance is the fourth book in the Ruthless Warlords series. It is a scorching hot stand-alone, though it is recommended to listen to the series in order for greatest enjoyment.

Like all the books in the series, it includes:

  • A ruthless alien mafia boss
  • An innocent heroine growing into her power
  • A fated bond
  • Betrayal, murder, and revenge
  • Serious plot twists
  • And an epic romance that proves love will always triumph over hate

Added bonus: Filthy Royal includes the Filthy Beginnings prequel so you can experience all the feels as these two fated mates spiral from lovers to enemies to a connection so intense it defies death itself.

Damien and Charlotte are FIRE!

Filthy Beginnings
Damien Skolov is a cage fighter entered in a galactic tournament. His older brothers are proven warriors, and Damien feels he needs to prove himself to his family and also anyone in the galaxy who has a problem with him. He has a singular goal to win the tournament for the money and honor it will bring him and his family. Then he sees Scarlett, the omega prize that will be given to the winner of this tournament. Charlotte is an obedient omega, and she follows all the rules that prevent her from cavorting with anyone other than the one who wins her in the tournament. When she and Damien see each other, there’s an instant chemistry between them. Ignoring all the rules, they sneak around to see each other. As they fall deeper for one another, they want nothing more than to be together. Until something happens to alter their plans and their lives.

This was a great intro to Damien and Scarlett’s story, and it continues with Filthy Royal.

Filthy Royal
This story picks up a few years since Damien and Scarlett have seen one another, and she betrayed him. Damien’s family status has improved, and he’s working with his brothers and younger sister. Damien returns to the place Scarlett broke his heart, but this time it’s for work and a little revenge. Damien’s searching for something that was taken from their family, and Scarlett is trying to free hers. When they see one another, it’s the same strong chemistry as before, but Damien is determined to steer clear of Scarlett—no matter how hard it is for both of them.

Scarlett has been bonded to an alpha, and her life isn’t much better than it was before Damien. When she sees him again, she wants nothing more than to go to him. But she can’t, or those that she loves will be hurt and/or killed. So, she tries her best to stay away. Then an event forces them to be around each other. Try as they might, their feelings haven’t changed, and their mate bond makes it very difficult to be in the same proximity. In order to survive, they will have to work together.

I really enjoyed this omegaverse. There’s so much action, intrigue, and of course love. The heat between Damien and Scarlett is off the charts, and I advise you to stay hydrated with this one. Their fierce protectiveness of their family and those they love really shows their true hearts. Both sacrificing their own happiness to take care of others. Both of them want to explain their issues to each other but can’t because they’re trying to figure out how to save themselves and their families.

Stella Hunter and Jason Clarke do a wonderful job narrating. Stella brings out Scarlett’s vulnerability and determination. Growly, rule-breaking Jason is one of my favorite versions of him. He personifies Damien, and you just feel everything he does. They’re two of my favorite narrators.

This is Alison’s best book yet. Absolute best plot twists, character development , love scenes, suspense, angst and HEA. It felt real and authentic and beautiful written. And that epilogue! Well played Ms. Aimes! I cant wait for the next one! The narration by the incomparable Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter is the cherry on top! Bravo Alison, Stella and Jason

🅰🆄🅳🅸🅾🅱🅾🅾🅺 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆

I cant get enough of the Skoloffs!!
Stella Hunter and Jason Clarke narrate this hella steamy omegaverse !

Alison Aimes had hooked me from book 1 and I'm still here for more of this world.
Damien and Scarlett get a second chance at love after being manipulated into a separation. Years later Damian is back looking for his baby sister and the one who started this chain reaction.

I have loved each book in this series but I'm a sucker for a 2nd chance fated mate romance with sinfully hot scenes!
Alison doesn't disappoint... ever!
Andnthat ending??? What.the.f****!!! I need this next book now please!!

Scorching Hot Omegaverse!

Filthy Royal is one scorchingly hot and delicious Omegaverse Romance! I adore anything Alison writes, but WOWZA.. Damien is my favorite character she has written so far! Alison can bring you into her fantastical and smutty world that she creates through her attention to all details in these alien worlds. They seem like they are just beautiful and enchanting..
This is book 4 of her Ruthless Warlords Series, but.. yes it is a standalone, but you’d be just fine following along. I highly recommend starting from the beginning. It’s just so much more sexy and fun that way! Damien and Scarlett’s love story was so different from the other books.. it was hot yes, but complicated with misunderstandings,meddling siblings, protecting, and my favorite …. Fated Mates! (Yum to that Taming Chain)… It’s lovers to enemies to lovers again. Damien is one cocky cage fighter, who falls for the beautiful omega prize Scarlett, whos unique Omega gift is both beautiful and dangerous. This story spans four years in time in which our young cage fighter nobody knows to a feared Mafia boss within the galaxy. Their road to get back to each other and trust was not easy. I loved all of the action. (Excuse me, Miss Alison…that claiming mud scene?! hot AF ma’am!)
Stella Hunter and Jason Clarke narrate this in duet style. Stella is always one of my favorite narrators because she can do any type of character! From innocent, scared to sexy siren in a flash. You feel all the emotions from her. Jason is always top-tier in these types of characters. Super growly, cocky, defiant, arrogant, but then can turn on that emotion of vulnerability, longing and need so damn well. And of course, Jason has you covered with too many to count “Good Girl”… that he delivers with that gravely tone so well!

I remain obsessed with this series!

Alison Aimes writes some of the most fascinating, intense, and always captivating characters. Damien, the Skolov family enforcer, and Scarlett, his fated mate, will have you in every single one of your feels. They are destined to be together,  the love burns between them but secrets, lies and pain tore them apart and could destroy their future together. My heart just broke so many times for them.

There are no words to describe how incredible this book is in Audio. I know that I’m completely over the top for this series but you know what? You listen to Jason Clarke and his sexy as all hells growly voice as Damien Skolov and tell me you don’t need a stiff drink and a cold shower afterwards, and if you don’t…..well this is a safe space and there will be no shaming of any kind! 😊 Seriously Stella and Jason just owned Damien and Scarlett, they bring such passion to every element of this story, the intensity of Damien and Scarlett’s love, the anguish, the violence, the need and the hope, they hold me hostage listening  from the start to the very end. I’m such a huge fan of these two narrators, I think my knees would give out if I ever met them….I’m not creepy or anything…I swear!

There are some big twists and turns in this book if you are a fan of this series you know you can expect brilliant writing, with amazing details and descriptions, intense feelings, explosive action, some of the most steamy sex ever written, possessive, obsessive alphas and unique strong omegas. Damien and Scarlett’s story will not disappoint you and Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter will most certainly not disappoint you .

Another great audiobook with duet narration!

The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💚🖤💙💖
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📘📙
World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌏
Character development: 😄😮🙂🥰😍
Narrator(s): 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration type: Duet Narration

The Hero: Damien Skolov - he is another Skolov brother, an alpha male in the Anarcheim Alphaverse. His brother Nikolai Skolov is the head alpha boss of the Skolov clan in the Brotherhood syndicate and Damien is now his enforcer. He excels at fighting and is the most temperamental of the brothers. When he first met Scarlett at a fight tournament, he was just eighteen and he planned to win enough money in the tournament to buy the Skolov’s a seat at the brotherhood table.

The heroine: Scarlett - she was the prize, Consortium property. She was known as the ultimate prize for fighters at the arena and owned by the Consortium. The brotherhood attended the tournament to bet on the fighters, though Damien was one of the fighters and he hid behind Scarlett making her his with his words. He plans on winning the tournament and winning Scarlett. She loved that his focus never wavered from her. For the first time, she had hope that she might get her life back.

The Story: At the time, Damien was younger than many of the males in the tournament, though he was rumored to be as good as some of the best. He grew up as the 4th and youngest of the Skolov brothers and had been performing well in every rotation of the tournament. The fifth rotation of the tournament was a cage fight with a pit in the center, made up of the elite 100 combatants. It was a free for all and the winner would come out wealthy and win Scarlett. Damien knew immediately that Scarlett was his fated mate.

Egan Avatice, the high lackey of the consortium ruled over Scarlett, and she had to do whatever he said, and he had talked about a new sponsor who had something against Damien. Scarlett had been owned by the consortium her whole life, as did her brother Luke who was a fighter for the consortium. Though he wasn’t allowed to fight in the tournament since the consortium didn’t want their own fighters to win enough money to buy their freedom. Luke wanted to buy Scarlett’s freedom since most prized were just used by the winners for a short time until their shine wore off and then made into whores. Scarlett had her own escape plan before meeting Damien.

This book starts with a prequel which all of the events above were part of before the actual book began after Scarlett betrays Damian. It got exiting at times even though we could tell that things weren’t always going to go the way Damien expected. I liked the story and the characters, though I liked the previous book better. The actual book starts later after the tournament ends and after the events of the last book, when their brother Maddox had returned home with the Skolovs. Both Damian and Maddox were trying to track down their half brother Darvish Sarten, who had it out for the Skolov’s and the Brotherhood.

I have to admit, that I am not at all fond of the omegaverse world. Like many alien romance books, women are seen as lesser and only good for one thing especially to the alpha’s. Very few alphas actually feel protective of women, and value them as people. Women are often only seen as slaves or whores. Scarlett was a perfect example of this since she was owned by the Consortium even after she became a prime omega of the winner of the competition.

Like the previous audiobooks in this series, this one was told in dual points of view via duet narration and was narrated by Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter. These two are both terrific narrators and I really enjoy both of them, so when I know they are together and doing an audiobook in duet narration, I just have to buy it. Jason has a deep and sexy voice while Stella has a feminine yet intelligent sounding voice, both are perfect for these characters.

LOVED Damien and Scarlett's romance in audio!

Hells yes! Filthy Royal by Alison Aimes was a dark and sexy second-chance fated-mates romance that I devoured from start to finish. I was instantly hooked on Damien and Scarlett’s forbidden love story in Filthy Beginnings, so I was excited for them to finally find their very own HEA. However, their journey to get there was full of steamy twists and unexpected turns! Alison’s Ruthless Warlord series never disappoints!

Stella Hunter and Jason Clarke perform this audiobook in duet style narration, and both are always pure perfection bringing Alison’s characters to life. Stella portrayed Scarlett’s vulnerable, and passionate persona brilliantly making you long for her to find a way to break free of all her secrets and bonds. Jason’s deep growly timbre complimented alpha Damien’s dominant, protective, and determined personality perfectly. Both narrators brought the HEAT with Damien and Scarlett’s smoking hot-fated mate chemistry!

Overall, I LOVED this book. If you are a fan of a fated-mates omegaverse romance with a hot alpha ex-cage fighter, a fierce and feisty omega ex-dancer, enemies to lovers vibes, lies, protecting the ones you love, becoming the family enforcer, secrets, betrayal, taming chains, healing from the past, misunderstandings, defeating an alien mafia boss, super HOT steamy times, a jaw-dropping plot twist, and a HEA that will do filthy good things to your heart, then you will love Damien and Scarett’s story. I always look forward to more from Alison Aimes.

I am a FAN of Alison's!

If you don't like dominant Alphas who expect their Omegas to submit , don't enter this world. If you do, hold on and enjoy the ride!
When you already have a great book chosing the right narrators for it can make it even better. This author chose wisely. Scarllet's voice held so much emotion. To hear Damien say, "I knew it would be amazing. Had no idea it would be life-changing" in that gruff voice was something special! And "You were always meant to be my destiny", SWOON!
Always and forever. Forever and always.

Fantastic narration - love this series!

Ruthless Warlords is a dark omegaverse romance series that just keeps building with each book/each Scolov brother having such depth and complexity it is a whole different experience. In Filthy Royal (which includes the prequel Filthy Beginnings) all of Damien’s plans are blown out of the water when he discovers his fated mate is the prize for the tournament. He came to the dome as a fighter devoted to winning no matter what, so when his world is turned upside down when everything comes together and then the world falls apart and he loses everything except the hunger for revenge. Scarlett is very strong to survive her circumstances and I really enjoyed their relationship and how well they fit together and bring out the best in each other (when they can let down walls). It was heart-wrenching and exciting with such corruption, violence, and head games from very powerful, very elusive enemies lurking in the shadows. Page-turning excitement! I seriously love this series and can’t wait for more.

The narration in duet by Stella Hunter and Jason Clarke is everything I love about audio - specially duet done right! They are brilliant together and with each story they bring the characters to life and pull you into the story so deep it’s over too soon and you are left wanting more. More of this story arc - More on this family - MORE wonderful performances in duet by Jason and Stella!!
