Summary
Liam Callahan likes to break things... and Nate Carter was made to be broken.
Liam
I was trained not to feel. Taught to observe, manipulate, and control.
Nothing prepared me for Nate Carter.
He's stubborn and beautiful in his resistance. The harder he fights, the deeper I sink my teeth in. I engineered the therapy sessions so I could get closer and watch him unravel. To dissect his fire and watch him spiral from the inside out.
But Nate is fury wrapped in lace, and he makes me feel things I was never meant to feel.
Want. Possession. Hunger.
Now, I can't stop. Not until he's mine; broken, rebuilt, and burning just for me.
Nate
I knew Liam Callahan was dangerous the moment I met him.
Too perfect. Too polished. Too in control.
They said the anger management sessions were routine, but nothing about Liam is routine. He gets into your head with softness, pulls you apart with praise, and leaves you craving the pain he caused.
So why do I keep going back?
I don't know what's real anymore…what's me, and what's Liam's design.
Cruel When He Smiles is the third book in the interconnected Sinners of Blackthorne U series, but it is a complete standalone.
Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.
©2025 Avery Collins (P)2026 Podium AudioGregory Salinas reprises his role in playing our Sin Bin MMC, and boy does he do Liam justice! I love the grit and gravel he brings to Liam’s character in his performance. Liam is the darkest character we’ve met in this series so far (aside from Killian, we also we see a really dark side of Killian in this book too). The way Gregory conveyed Liam’s part of the story was intense and brilliant in how he gave voice to Liam’s persona.
Simon Kim, voices Nate. He captures the sassiness of Nate’s character perfectly, and I loved the energy he brought to voicing Nate and the overall emotion and depth of the character.
The hatred, the toxicity, the trauma, the emotional and mental damage, the angst, the obsession, possession, love, and devotion, the way Simon and Gregory’s performances bring these to life brought an already amazing book to an even higher level of amazingness! And hearing it read to you by Gregory and Simon is sublime. Do not pass this audio book over, you’ll regret it!
Such an epic performance and story
