Coldhearted King

Empty Kingdom, Book 1

By: L. M. Dalgleish

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, CJ Bloom

I never planned to give my V-card to a gorgeous stranger I met at a bar.

But for once I didn't let myself overthink things. In the few hours we spent together, he managed to push me outside my comfort zone.

And I loved every second.

I never expected to see him again. Let alone sitting at the head of the boardroom table during my architectural firm's pitch to design his new hotel chain.

Turns out the man I spent one steamy night of passion with is Cole King, billionaire COO of the King Group. And unlike our previous encounter, when it comes to business, he’s as cold as ice.

Now I’m working for him, and it’s… challenging.

He’s arrogant, demanding, and seems to delight in pushing my buttons. But with every “one-on-one” meeting he insists we have, the memory of that night simmers between us.

I should never have agreed when he proposed a no-strings-attached arrangement, but I wanted to experience more of what he could give me.

I didn’t mean to trade my heart in return.

Now it’s too late.

Because no matter the warmth his touch brings, Cole is as icy in love as he is in business.

And I’m the one who’s going to get burned.

Coldhearted King is a full-length, spicy, one-night stand, billionaire workplace romance, with a virgin heroine, a dirty-talking hero, and a guaranteed happily ever after. It's the first book in the Empty Kingdom billionaire romance series but can be listened to as a standalone.

Tops

This has plot, it’s sexy as hell, and has a strong but also soft female character. Fairly good writing, something not always found in this genre. I couldn’t stop listening because it’s a treat.

Most heartwarming story

I was absolutely obsessed with this book when I first read it (honestly, I’ve read it more than five times—no shame!). So when I saw it was available as an audiobook, I didn’t even hesitate for a second. I purchased it without a backward glance, and let me just say—it was worth every penny. Teddy and CJ Bloom are two of my all-time favorite narrators, and they were absolutely perfect as Cole and Delilah. Their performances brought a whole new layer of depth and emotion to a story I already loved so much.

The writing was exquisite, everything about this story just made sense in the most beautiful way. It’s so well-written and heartfelt that I couldn’t help but feel deeply connected to both Cole and Delilah. Listening to their story felt like sitting down with old friends as they shared their love story—intimate, real, and utterly captivating.

Thank you, L.M. Dalgleish, for creating something so special. This story has truly stayed with me, and I’m so grateful for the chance to experience it all over again in such a magical way. It’s the kind of book that leaves a mark on your heart, and I’ll treasure it forever.

worth the credit

it is a duet narration and the narrators were excellent.

I really enjoyed the audiobook and worth the credit.



The only thing was Teddy Hamilton the way he says co@k, he sounds so angry 🤣
he says it with so much vigor.

Unexpected

I wasn’t expecting to love this so much. I loved seeing Cole fall in love with Delilah. I loved watching him stumble and I loved watching him realize his mistakes and I loved seeing him work hard for something and someone that had nothing to do with his wealth.

On the flip side I really liked Delilah’s self worth. I loved watching how she held her head high even when she was betrayed multiple times by people who were supposed to care for her. She had an inner strength that made me love her and want the most for her.

This is definitely going on my favorites shelf and I can’t wait for Tate’s book to be released as an audiobook.

WOW best book ever.

This book was so entertaining so well worth the credit. The narrators did such a great job.
