Story
I kissed my father’s best friend, and it kind of didn’t go well. Not only because he’s 18 years older than me - but he also didn’t like it. Not one bit. In my defense, I didn’t mean to fall for him. It just happened. Nathaniel Weaver is the most attractive man I’ve ever seen with enough charisma to blind the sun. He’s bigger than the world, owns half of it, and conquered the other half. He was forbidden. Wrong. So I totally got over him. Or so I told myself. Until we’re forced to get married.

Story
In the mafia world, women don’t reign. I’m the exception of that rule. I didn’t choose this life. It chose me. I have a legacy to protect, a power to snatch, and no one will stop me. If an arranged marriage is what it’ll take to lead, then so be it. What I don’t count on is that my chosen husband happens to be a ghost from my past. Kyle Hunter. He was once my guard, my protector. Now, he’s after my kingdom. The road to the throne is paved with thorns, blood, and casualties. To win, I’ll risk it all. My heart included.

A bet turned into a disaster. Sebastian Weaver is the star quarterback and the college’s heartthrob. Rich. Handsome. Bastard. Everyone’s attention flocked toward him, and all the girls dreamed of being with him. Not me. At least, not until he made a move on me. See, I thought I was stronger than Sebastian’s charms. I thought I could survive being his target. I thought wrong. Little did I know that he will make my most twisted fantasies come true. Fantasies I didn’t know existed...

I have a simple plan. Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university. One glance from the school’s king blows my plan up in smoke. One glance and he suffocates my air. One glance and he issues his death sentence. His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos. “I will destroy you.” Everything about Aiden King is black. Black mind. Black heart. Black soul. I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left. I didn’t. I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.

You know the story where the hero comes in and saves the day, rescuing the heroine right in the nick of time? This isn't that story. Instead of a knight in shining armor, he's a sexy, tatted-up Bratva boss with a reputation for being brutal and fierce. Vasily finds me after I've already been brought to my lowest—broken by cruel men until I barely recognize myself. He doesn't offer me salvation. He offers me protection and revenge. And I gladly take it. Because I don't need a knight in shining armor. I need a villain who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.

He won’t tell me his last name, and maybe that should throw up a thousand red flags, but when I’m all alone in a new city and struggling to make ends meet, his texts are the lifeline I’ve been desperate for. I never would have answered that text if I’d known that Lincoln Daniels—superstar hockey player extraordinaire—was the one sending it. He’s trying to sweep me off my feet now. He says he’s obsessed. He wants me to wear his number…permanently. But is he still the wrong number, or can this hockey god prove he’s Mr. Right?

Publisher's Summary
My boss. My enemy.
I escaped my life. Leaving everything behind wasn’t easy, but I did it. I turned the page and flew over the ocean.
This is my new beginning. My new chapter. My new book.
Or so I hoped before I met my new boss. Daniel Sterling. Rich as sin, illegally attractive, and the face of every magazine cover. Oh, and the reason why I escaped in the first place.
I made his high school life hell. He won’t stop until he gives me a taste of my own medicine.
Empire of Hate is a complete stand-alone. No other books should be listened to prior to this.

Shane East and Rina Kent: MAGIC
"Empire of Hate" by Rina Kent, an audiobook that's equal parts intense, dramatic, and downright addictive and the the audiobook that kicked off my obsession with her stories way back in 2022and let me tell you, I was hooked from the very first chapter. It's what prompted me to dive headfirst into the Royal Elites Series, and I've been a fan of Rina's writing ever since. She's simply phenomenal.
Empire of Hate is performed in dual narration by the legendary Shane East and Christy Woods, this audiobook is a rollercoaster ride of emotions from start to finish.
Now, let's talk about Shane East—my absolute favourite British VO actor. His performance in "Empire of Hate" was nothing short of spectacular, bringing the characters to life in a way that only he can. And let's not forget about Daniel Stirling and those group chats! It was because of Shane's performance that I found myself pausing the book to go back and listen to the Royal Elites Series, just to immerse myself even further in the world of Levi King and Astrid, his BFF and the rest of those King and Royal Elites men that I love so much.
But let's get down to business. "Empire of Hate" is a story of, well, hate—filled with resentment, vengeance, and obsession. But beneath the surface, it's also a story of forgiveness, redemption, and unconditional love. Daniel and Nicole's relationship is messy, and complicated and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
Daniel and Nicole—oh, where do I even begin? Their dynamic is fraught with tension and red flags, but somehow, against all odds, they find their way to each other. Their journey is messy and imperfect, but it's also incredibly raw and real. With past and present chapters, Rina skillfully weaves together their story, revealing the depths of their emotions and the complexities of their relationship.
And let's not forget about the audiobook narration. Shane East's portrayal of Daniel is simply deliciously sublime and authentic. Alongside Christy Woods, who brings a unique depth to her portrayal of Nicole, their performances are truly top-notch.
Overall, this is a must-listen, So grab your headphones and prepare for a wild ride with "Empire of Hate"! Trust me, you won't regret it.

Hated 90% of this book don’t know why it got such good reviews
The plot was just way too depressing, definitely not enough romance or flirting mixed in the the tragic misunderstanding between the main characters. The narrator’s were incredible but the plot had literally nothing redeeming about it. Just my opinion but I don’t often write negative reviews. Some of the plot might of been redeemed even if it was closer to 50% depressing.
