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.

The passion, The energy, The tension!

This audiobook is arguably the best audiobook I have listened to in a long time! I don’t usually go that route when reading but when it comes to Rina I know she absolutely kills it!! The multiple narrators were genius and perfect. I felt every character and their emotions through the change in voice, and the way that put their absolute all into it. Rent was due and these narrators have it their ALL!

I also can’t stop thinking about Gareth & Kayden, this story is so raw, hungry, passionate and very dark! Rina has said this one is one of her darkest yet, and spiciest, so that is exactly what she serves us! It is incredibly beautiful and also quite confrontational. I highly recommend it if you’re wanting to see Gareth absolutely unleash his true identity and self on a very dominant and drive professor, Kayden

Loved the full cast production

Loved Stephen Dexter and Grayson Owens, two new narrators to me. Loved hearing Teddy and Shane reprise their roles. Once again Rina has delivered. Can I also say can’t wait to hear Corvin King voices Kades book.

Rina does it again

If you loved LOG books you will love this. Dark and twisty and full of discovery (self and otherwise) worth it alone for the VA’s, amazing job to the full ensemble cast returning from previous books to further flesh out the rinaverse!
