From New York Times bestselling author Rina Kent comes a nail-biting MM dark romance between two hockey rivals.

When two ruthless enemies collide.

My name is Preston Armstrong, and I’m the most depraved bastard you’ll ever meet.

I take what I want, ruin what I don’t, and live exactly how I please.

That is, until I crash into the force of nature that is Marcus Osborn.

Captain of our rival hockey team, and the perpetual thorn in my side.

A migraine in human form and the one person who refuses to play by my rules.

He’s my brand of heartless and just as deranged.

I set out to crush him, his career, and his infuriatingly gorgeous face.

But Marcus hits back with equal force, turning our rivalry into a violent, addictive dance neither of us can walk away from.

We were supposed to annihilate each other.

Instead, we spark a fire that threatens to devour everything in its path.

In this battle of two unhinged souls, our bodies become collateral damage.

But I never expected our stone-cold hearts to get involved.

Tropes:

Unhinged Chaos x Unhinged Calm
Rivals to Lovers
Hockey Romance
Power Dynamic
Secret Relationship
Bi Awakening

Tempting Venom is a male x male college romance. While this book can be listened to on its own, for a better understanding of the world, it's recommended to listen to Beautiful Venom & Sweet Venom first.

JF Harding impressed me so much here. His voice is apparently super versatile! Great job.
The book? Absolutely amazing, 5-5 stars, no notes. It has it all - spice, angst, romance. Gorgeous!

Holy smokes, oh my days I can't get enough. Marcus and Preston have it all!
Longing, need, passion, craving, breaking, broken, healing, loving.

Read quite a few rina Kent books now, this and hunt the villain are my faves! The characters actually like eachother compared to other books where they really just don’t seem good together not even in a dark romance way!!

Love itttt

I don’t even know where to start.. I knew I would love this book because all of Rinas other MM romances have very very special places in my heart..
I knew from reading the others in the venom series that this one would hands down be my favourite because I fell in Love with Preston as a side character in those books.. but I really had no idea how hard I would fall for Marcus as well as Preston! This just felt like an epic love story.. completely fated. The book had everything I love.. yearning and angst, trauma and humour and all the beautiful spice 🔥 and omg the prologue.. I wasn’t ready to cry straight away!! Gahhhh I was worried that I would have hyped this one up in my head too much but it 100% didn’t disappoint.

I have fallen hard and I’m going to have a re read immediately as I’m already missing them.. this one goes straight to the top for me!

Rina has surpassed herself!!
