Corrupted Innocence

Innocent Brides, Book 1

De: Measha Stone

Narrado por: Jay Alder, Kylie Stewart

He wouldn't take my money. He wanted my innocence instead.

When Nikolai Romanov came looking for my brother, I emptied my savings hoping I could pay off his debt. But I didn't have even close to enough, so the bastard decided to take me instead.

I didn't expect a Russian mafia boss like him to be gentle with me...and he wasn't.

Not when he spanked me for daring to wear panties under the dress he chose for me, and certainly not when he stripped me out of that same dress and made me scream in his bed.

He told me I would be his for a month, but the way he looks at me says I'm his forever...

Corrupted Innocence is a standalone novel and the first book of the Innocent Brides series. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes intended for mature listeners.

Corrupted Innocence

First book I’ve listened to from this author, not bad but it could’ve been better starting with a better male narrator with an actual Russian accent! This guy didn’t even come close and for me and that’s a huge part of selling the story to me. Secondly, it has some triggers so be aware if you’re a sensitive reader you should think about it. I hope they kinda continue with the storyline of this book onto book 2 of this series, yes I will give it another try and hopefully I won’t regret it. Is it worth the credit? It’s a yes only because it had a HEA. Enjoy!

when I first started listening to this audiobook, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not. I usually give audiobooks 3 chapters before I decide. This time I was glad that I did. The narration was awesome for this book. Storyline had a lot of good points and the author deserves a standing ovation.

I listened straight through the whole book in one sitting.

I love the whole story. That doesnt happen often. I will be reading more from this author. 💯

Strong heroine along with a great storyline 💗

It took a minute for Nickolai to grow on me but by the second half of the story I was hooked. I love steamy scenes where spankings are involved but it turns me off when it happens immediately when they barely know each other. I got over it and ended up really enjoying the story. Loved the FMC as well!

Well written, good plot

Loved that it kept me in the story. Because it was Russian Mafia I expected the male voice to be Russian but the actors were wonderful

A good Sunday Listen

This actually turned out better than I expected. The scenes were hot and well written and you could imagine yourself there. The relationship took a good path and wasnt insta love and didnt make you laugh at it either. I'll read the other books in the series but its not a rush.

Great narration! Interesting twist

Great read with a few twists and turns. First time listening to this author and wasn’t disappointed.

Currupted innocence

Loved the love story! And the side stories as well Will listen again another day

The story was great!

Loved everything…except when the male was imitating Charlotte voice. It was like nails on a chalkboard 😖

3.5 ⭐️ ➖ DIDN'T QUITE TICK ALL MY BOXES ➖

This is a new to me author and I did enjoy this listen.. however, it didn’t really grip me like some of the other Mafia stories out there. Mafia romance are my kryptonite and, although this ‘sell yourself to save your father/brother’ plot-line has been done a few times before, there’s always room in my ever expanding Library for more so I took the chance.

And it’s an okay listen.. but, for me, the insta attraction didn’t spark.. I didn’t feel the chemistry, romance or passion as the story unfolded. There were bartered heat scenes as bossy Nikolai gets his month’s worth of kinky dominant pleasures out of Charlotte’s ass, however it felt more transactional than emotional. No changing of the charge, no depth to the relationship, no tender talks, melting of feelings or interactions.. just instructions and obedience. Charlotte is a people pleaser, she has strength, is selfless, hardworking, independent and kind however, when her brother’s debts force her into the crosshairs of Nikolai’s corrupt world, this busy Deli owner better be ready for his possession and pain. He’s the third-in-line son of the Romanov Crime Family.. and he’s about to posses an obsess.

Worth a credit? Maybe.. if you want an easy listen and you’re NOT looking for dark, layered, intense, passion-filled, romantic, swoony or twisted. It was enjoyable enough with good narration keeping the chapters flowing well.. however, it just missed an ingredient or two that would’ve taken it to a whole new four or five star level for me. I didn’t think it was dark.. more Mafia-lite, there’s drama and Mafia misdoings along the way, all holes sex and a dash of suspense too.. but sorry, I don’t think I’ll be ‘one clicking’ the next book in the series..
