Resumen del Editor

From internationally bestselling author K. A. Tucker comes the dark and steamy Dirty Empire series.

One visit to my father in prison—convicted for a murder he didn't commit—and I've attracted the attention of the last man I'd ever want knowing that I exist.

Gabriel Easton. Son of an infamous crime boss. Deplorable womanizer. Scoundrel to the core. Worse, he has figured out how desperate I am to protect my father from brutality behind bars. He has the power to grant that protection, and he has offered it . . . for a price.

Me. I am to become a "guest" in his mansion, to live with him until he tires of having me around. I'll do anything for my father, including agree to Gabriel's cruel game. But I won't comply with his every whim and wish. Not when he taunts me with that ruthless spark in his cold blue eyes. Not when he requires that I share his bedroom at night.

Unfortunately for me, I think my loathing for him is what he's enjoying most. That's fine. By the time I'm through with him, he'll be crying my name. Mercy.

Contains mature themes.

Hot scenes

We love a bad boy who can’t resist our fmc. She was a bit “pick me girl” at times but I liked her sarcasm. Great smut!

Instalust - but the good kind

I was expecting this to be darker than it was. But I was pleasantly surprised. Has a decent amount of spice without being overdone

Can’t stop listening

The whole series is 5 stars. Some events were unexpected! Steamy scenes. Never got boring or felt dragged on. Hard to stop listening. Highly recommend. Narrators voices were great and easy to listen to.

Sexy

Didn’t think I’d like this. At first the narrators voices (esp the male one) bothered me. But I got used to it. The story is good and steamy at times although it gets a bit repetitive. At a certain point the heroine’s ambivalence to “give in” to her true desires gets a bit tired. It’s like just do it already. Not the best writing but overall engaging. A little sexy escape. I downloaded the next book ;)

Good story

The book was cute and spicy. Cute quick read. I enjoyed the book and would recommend

very good book

very good book, very hot and exciting audiobook, I just don't like the voices changes

Gabriel and Mercy

A seductive, sensual and captivating journey to go on with Gabriel and Mercy. I enjoyed every intoxicating moment of this story. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

I wanted to like it!

There’s so much in this book that is good- the narration, the setting, the characters are ok. But i just couldn’t get into it! I’m so sad bc I’ve listened to The Wolf Hotel series and i couldn’t get enough! I can’t put my finger in what didn’t click for me, and all the reviews are great. I’m very sad about it. 😞
