About this listen

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a scorching standalone professor/student dark MM romance set in the Legacy of Gods' world.

My darkness meets a darker soul.

I’m a golden boy.

A genius law student, the heir to the Carson empire, and the dutiful son.

Or, at least, that's what it looks like from the outside.

Deep inside, I have the urge to set the world on fire.

I keep these impulses in check, rarely indulging in mayhem.

Until one night of debauchery backfires, and I'm caught by a villain.

I bury the entire ordeal with the rest of my skeletons.

That is, until that night walks into my classroom in the form of my new professor.

Kayden Lockwood.

A criminal who’s teaching criminal law.

I can't expose what he's done without unmasking my secret life.

What I can do, however, is force him to taste the poison he gave me.

In the clash of titans, Kayden and I break and crumble.

And I'm starting to realize this dangerous game may have no winners.

This is a dark romance with themes that may not be for everyone. Please visit the author's website for content warnings before listening.

With all the excitement around this book I was waiting for it to get to audible.
In my opinion this book wasn’t as good as “god of fury” which had some similar subject matter, I feel like Kayden was a bit too flat of a character in the beginning of the book, and Gareth showed more character in the other books than in his own.
It was kind of a turnaround and I’m not really sure if I’m satisfied with how the story went.
Gottta sleep on it I think.
Narrators did a stellar job !

Not as thrilling as the legacy of gods series, but still good

I won’t lie this one was very hard to rate. I loved and I mean I really loved most of this book but I disliked a few things as well. But thinking about it now, the things I loved outweighed the bad.
My favourite Rina book is God of Fury so was worried this wouldn’t measure up, take away the plot and the background, the romance measures up completely.
This was is definitely on the dark troupe side. I would check triggers warning before you read if you haven’t already.

Garth and Kayden ♾️
I can’t wait to read Vaughn and Yilian book.

Student / professor romance
Age gap
Enemies to lovers vibes
Push and pull spice
Bi - awakening
Dark elements - themes of consensual non-con, dub-con, full list is in the author notes in the book.

Teddy Hamilton obviously killed it and narrating once again. This man just gets it right every single time. 💚 I could listen to him all day. He made this book!

I prefer to listen to Rina Kent’s books.

Hello world I think this might be my new favourite RK book! Gareth and Kayden's story delivered everything it promised and so much more to the point I am at a loss for words to accurate describe how much I enjoyed this audiobook.

The cast for this was beautifully chosen. Grayson Owens and Stephen Dexter absolutely knocked this one out of the park! Perfectly suited to their respective characters and I was hooked on every word from the moment I hit play. They had me blushing, laughing, crying and the amount of time I had to pause to squeal and kick my feet over the way in which certain lines were narrated and even just at the presence of some of the narrators themselves was insane. Loved the little cameos from other characters as well - I've almost finished my listen through of the Royal Elite series, but this is making me want to go and re-listen to all of LOG again.

My brain is complete mush now that it's over, and honestly I'm sad I'll never get to experience this story for the first time again. RK also teasing us with the crumbs for Hunt the Villain and Beautiful Venom has me yearning. An absolute masterpiece as always! Expect some heavy content, spicy smut, perfectly placed humorous moments, and just the right level of unhinged. Check the content warnings before diving in.
