Vicious Intentions

Ken Solin is the perfect storm for this audiobook—his voice has the kind of gravitas and edge that makes billionaires sound like predators pretending to be gentlemen. It’s one thing to read about Cain’s cold calculations or Cristiano’s possessive fury, but Solin *is* them, embodying their arrogance and unpredictability so well that I found myself gripping my phone tighter during tense scenes. The pacing is relentless; Stone wastes no time building her world or backstory, throwing the listener into a high-stakes game where the rules are written in blood. My biggest critique? The narrator’s anonymity becomes frustrating—we never learn her name, her past, or why these men fixate on her beyond vague references to a shared history. It’s a deliberate choice, but it sometimes feels like a device to keep the focus on their menace rather than her agency. That said, the production is top-tier, with crystal-clear audio that lets Solin’s performance carry the weight of the story. If you love twisted power dynamics, morally gray characters, and a thriller where the real question isn’t ‘who did it’ but ‘how will she survive,’ this audiobook is a knockout.
