Cruelest Vow

Tainted Regime, Book 1

De: Piper Stone

Narrado por: Thomas Locklear, Delaney Dawson

He was my forbidden fantasy. Then he came for me....

D'Artagnan Conti was born into poverty, raised to be a soldier in my father's savage regime. I grew up in luxury, longing to escape my family's cruel machinations, and the young man with sapphire eyes and the voice of an angel became not just my forbidden crush but my everything.

Then he was taken from me, killed in a brutal attack by our enemies. Or so I was led to believe....

For twenty years I did my best to forget him, until a devilishly handsome stranger awakened my desire in a way that I hadn't thought possible, baring my body and soul and setting them both ablaze with passion so intense it burns hotter than the lash of leather across my naked backside.

Every taste of his lips, every whisper in my ear, and every quivering climax pulled me deeper into this dark, twisted rapture, and only when I was already under his spell did I learn the truth.

The man I thought I'd lost is the one who has made me his.

Publisher's Note: Cruelest Vow is a stand-alone novel, which is the first entry in the Tainted Regime series. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Female Narrator...

I love the story, action and spice. Thomas Locklear is always amazing (5 stars) and I adore listening to him. Delany Dawson, however, was extremely hard to listen to (1 star). It felt like I was listening to someone read the phone book to me. There is no inflection in her voice and it is very hard to distinguish between the female lead and the male voices. I really detracts from the story. I did buy all three in the series because...Piper Stone. I would not have if I knew how painful listening to her. On a positive note, her voice is very nice and with some practice, she could do great work. As for this series, read the book.

Never too late for Mafia happy ending

Another twist and turn of a mafia love story! Loved the revenge, angst, and heat Thomas Locklear brought to Dar & Lucia . Bring on the growls anytime . My only talk away from a 5 star was that i felt even though the female narrator was good i often felt like there was no tone difference between MF. Still loved the story and ready for book 2

Exciting

Piper Stone knocks it out of the park again. Loads of heat and suspense with a twist I never saw coming. How do these stories get more intense and emotional??? Love has a way of surviving and thriving through the years! Check it out. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrators did a phenomenal job bringing the characters and story to life. Thomas's voice is so raw and growly and takes it to another level.

Very enjoyable!

Another wonderful sexy story by Piper Stone! She does the mafia world so well. Thomas Locklear and Delaney Dawson did a super job! I look forward to more in this series

Piper has done it again!

Piper has done it again....of course! All the twists and turns! Awesome story! She keeps topping her last book as far as greatness goes! Awesome narration!!! Thomas can growl at me anytime!!!!
Yes, I did ask for this free audiobook and am giving an honest review voluntarily!!!!
Listen!!! It's definitely worth it!!!!❤️❤️

So Good

Another fast paced, enjoyable, mafia romance, it’s a little different because the two main characters have loved each other forever, so it’s not a forced relationship but an equal loving partnership. Although D’Artagnan is an alpha in every possible way. He’s perfection. He’s tall, dark, handsome, protective, a bad guy with a heart of gold when it comes to the ones he loves. Even though her father had promised her to another, no way was D’Artagnan letting that happen.

The journey may not have been easy, but it was definitely one I enjoyed tagging along on. I loved Dartanian, and was so happy that he was able to become the man he was destined to be.

For a change, this book didn’t only have Thomas Locklear narrating it. He was joined by Delaney Dawson, I always enjoy listening to Thomas’ narration it’s always well done, but I hate to say it Delaney is not one I would choose to listen to again. Her voice grated and had no emotion to it and if anything it detracted from my enjoyment of the story. As far as star rating goes for Thomas, I would give more than five stars for Delaney I would only give two. For this reason the narration star rating is only for Thomas.

Enjoyed very much!

This one was wonderful! I had every emotion. Even biting my nails.
Delaney and Thomas were both stars and mastered it with their narration! They almost melted my phone while listening to Piper’s great story.

Cruelest Vow

This is the first book in a wonderful new series this story whet my appetite for the dirty and depraved..
I can not recommend this story enough this is fantasy at it's finest and that's from a fantasy junkie .
Thomas and Delaney Did a Absolutely fabulous duet narration of this delicious story.. 

Loved it

A great listen. A truly delightful story. The narrators did a great job. Very good.

Female narration

Had to stop 3/4th the way through. Female narration, I could not listen to anymore. Very monotone to the point where I couldn’t tell if it was a male character or her character she was reading. You really have to listen in order to tell the difference. The book itself was not bad. I liked it, but the narration ruined it for me.
