Summary

From USA Today best-selling author Rina Kent comes a new stand-alone grumpy-sunshine college romance.

I made a terrible mistake.

Being a mafia princess, I knew my fate was already decided.

But I went ahead and longed for the wrong one.

Creighton King is bad news with a gorgeous exterior.

He’s silent, brooding, and obviously emotionally unavailable.

So I thought it was over.

Until he awakens a beast inside me.

My name is Annika Volkov, and I’m Creighton's worst enemy.

He won’t stop until he breaks me.

Or I break him.

This book can be listened to on its own.

God of Pain

A very unusual relationship between Annika and Creighton.
Very dominant and submissive, like the title of the book lets hope for.

A fantastic book with a few twists in the Legacy of Gods series.

And it's great to have different POVs, to understand the whole story.

Absolutely fantastic

5*
Creighton is the quiet one of the group he doesn't speak unless he has something to say, but given the right incentives he speaks with his  actions instead.
Annika has a fascination with Creighton despite his warnings she doesn't seem to be able to keep away.
Another great story the twists involved certainly had me drawn in.
I loved this Audio The storyline the narrators definitely one to listen too.

YOU NEED TO READ THIS!

Holy hell! I have not read a book by Rina that I did not love and this one didn’t disappoint! I absolutely loved Annika & Creigh! They were so unique.
This was deviously dark and addictive as hell. I couldn’t get enough!

I loved the narration, you can’t go wrong with Jason Clarke, Shane East and Mackenzie Cartwright, and I think James Joseph is going to become a fast favourite!

5 stars!

Another deliciously dark and twisted read!

I want to start this review by saying that the narrators did a fantastic job with this audiobook! Their voices fit perfectly to the characters and really brought them to life.

I've been looking forward to Annika's and Creigh's book ever since reading book 1 in this series and it did not disappoint. This book was super spicy and steamy... it was HOT!

We get grumpy/sunshine, a trope I love, but with a dark twist and I was here for it. Creighton King is just that... a king! I loved how possessive and protective of Anni he was but also how sweet and soft he got around her, especially how much comfort she brought to him. It was so cute to read about.

I did not predict the turn this book took after the halfway mark and I can only say, how does Rina Kent come up with this stuff??!

Overall such a good steamy, dark and twisted time... I mean it's a Rina Kent book so when isn't it🤷‍♀️ I loved seeing more of the characters we know and love from the previous generation of books as well as characters I'm excited to read more about in this series.

Can't wait to continue the series... Jeremy and Cecily, I'm ready!

Outstanding Story & Narration🎧 Riveting & Intense

Rina Kent continues to wow me with another amazing novel set in her “Legacy” world, a series of standalone novels that feature different offspring of characters from earlier series. You do not need to have read or listened to those books to enjoy these because everything you need to know is in the descriptive details. This “opposite attract”, grumpy sunshine romance is Annika Volkov and Creighton King’s story and holy moly what a story it is! Annika is a mafia princess and the only daughter of Adrian and Lia Volkov, she has lived a sheltered life and the only reason she could attend art school at Royal Elite University aka REU was because her brother, Jeremy, who attends The King’s U on the same island has a safe place for her to live and he could look out for her. Creighton is one of Aiden and Elsa King’s son, he and his brother Eli are attending REU together on Brighton Island in the UK, the same school Annika attends. Her brother may be rivals with Creighton and his friends, but that does not stop her interest in him. Creighton is a man of few words, but Annika talks enough for the both of them. There is great chemistry between these two and he tries to fight it, thinking he is too dark for her, but she surprises him with having a dark side of her own. Creighton’s past haunts him and still has nightmares of what happened that one tragic night, his parents never talked about it so he is looking into it himself and what he uncovers blows his mind and throws him into the deep end and he is set out for revenge. I loved the layers to this story and the web Rina Kent wove, especially when it unravels. This brilliantly plotted story contains plenty of drama, angst, some twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moments, and some steamy hot romance with a side of kink. Rina Kent, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration is performed by a brilliantly talented cast. James Joseph and Mackenzie Cartwright do an amazing job portraying Creighton and Annika. They are joined by Shane East who returns in his role as Aiden King, Jason Clarke returning as Adrian Volkov and Desiree Ketchum as Lia. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. They have a complete understanding of the characters they are portraying, give each a voice that suits their character’s persona perfectly sounding believable in their perspective roles. They set the perfect tone for the story and capture all the character’s emotions and project them in to their performance. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Intense and Passionate!

This is the second book in the Legacy Series, a next generation series. I like next generation series! Creighton and Annika's story is breathtakingly well written, dark, passionate, intense, and captivating. James Joseph, Mackenzie Cartwright, Shane East, Jason Clarke, and Desiree Ketchum did an outstanding job with the narration. The audio production is excellent. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to God of Wrath, the next book in the series. I highly recommend this series.

Amazing story!

Talking to much. That is what Annika does. She is the light that Creighton needs. This book is fantastic!!! Lia and Adrian's daughter Annika is falling for the dark and broody Creighton King. Creighton has a dangerous side, something left brewing in him that creates his darkness. But they cannot be together. Secrets kept, the sunshine and dark of night find a way to be together. But are their feelings enough? Will Creighton be able to deal with his demons? And will their deception be the end? This story is book two of the series, but can be listened to as a standalone. It's full of twists and turns, secrets, protective siblings and romance. Rina Kent is a master at melding all these things together and makes a story that had me falling for the bad boy and trying to figure out where it would all end up. It's a dark and delicious story and series I highly recommend.

James Joseph is Creighton, and he brings out all depth of his darkness with an amazing narration. He understands him, gets in his mind and brings it all out. Mackenzie Cartwright is our sunshine as Annika. But the many layers she has lets Cartwright stretch her wings with a little darkness as well. These two along with cameos by Jason Clarke, Shane East and Desiree Ketchum reprising their roles, created an fabulous listen.

Addictive!

This audiobook is an intense, riveting, addictive story and I loved every word. I previously read the book and loved it but the narration made the story even better. The narrators brought the story to life. The writing is exceptional and I love how this author weaves all her stories together. This story is passionate, dark and brutal at times. The pull between these characters is magnetic- a true force of pain and desire, love and hate. This series has just been thrilling to read and listen to. I can’t wait to see what comes next. God of Pain is a five star must read/listen!

Grumpy-Sunshine College Romance

God of Pain by Rina Kent is a grumpy-sunshine college romance that I listened to on audio narrated by James Joseph, Mackenzie Cartwright, Shane East, Jason Clarke, and Desiree Ketchum. This is this the second book in the Legacy series and can be read as a stand-alone.

Rina is an amazing writer! She pulls me into the story and makes me fall in love with the characters. I loved the relationship between Creighton and Annika. I really enjoyed getting Creighton, Annika, Lia, Adrian, and Aiden's points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

James, Mackenzie, Shane, Jason, and Desiree did an amazing job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you love grumpy-sunshine romances or college romances.
