Kiss the Villain

Legacy of Gods

By: Rina Kent

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, Grayson Owens, Teddy Hamilton, Shane East, Corvin King, Samantha Brentmoor, Vivienne LaRue, full cast

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 opening chapter provides an exclusive glimpse into the thrilling ups and downs of this relationship, showcasing just how wonderfully eccentric both characters truly are!

Gareth is a complete delight as the protagonist, and I found myself fully engaged with his thoughts. But wait—Kayden’s viewpoint is a treasure as well! His inner dialogue serves as the key to understanding his self-control and the poker face he maintains, especially when Gareth reveals his vulnerabilities.

What truly amused me was how Kayden wholeheartedly accepted Gareth’s quirky nature. He stands as the steady anchor to Gareth’s whirlwind, while Gareth illuminates the hidden parts of Kayden. Together, they form the ultimate dynamic duo, perfectly complemented by their delightful chaos!

This book swept me away on an incredible journey filled with gasps, laughter, squeals, and blushes, causing my heart to dance with joy! From the very first page, I was captivated and couldn’t bring myself to put it down.

And a huge shoutout to the fantastic full cast—Teddy Hamilton, Shane East, Corvin King, Samantha Brentmoor, Vivienne LaRue, and especially the standout stars Stephen Dexter and Grayson Owens—for bringing Kayden and Gareth to life! You all are amazing!

JUST WOW

This is was undoubtedly the hottest book I’ve read so far this year! I loved every bit of it!!!

This book was perfection!!

I laughed, smiled, blushed and cried. It definitely lived up to the hype! Can't wait for Vaughns story!

Another Phenomenal Book

Fully immersive audiobook that brought the characters to life through my headphones. Rina Kent has done it yet again, with another angsty MM romance.

I loved Gareth and Kayden’s dark love story and awakenings on both of their characters. Felt a bit of nostalgia hearing all the other characters I know and love from Legacy of Gods.

Highly recommend this full cast audiobook 💚🖤 for lovers of dark romance

absolute perfection

This book was everything, i was hooked from the very beginning. The thrills, the chaos, the toxicity, the spice, the banter, and everything in between, I couldn't get enough of it.

And the full cast, my god, they did a phenomenal job at this audiobook performance. A girl was in love from the first "Little Monster" that was uttered.

The hottest, spicest, most addicting audiobook I have ever listened to. I loved every single second of this beautiful, turbulent book.

If Rina Kent writes it, I'm gonna read it or listen to it! 💚

Omg so amazing!

Dude Rina Kent is a master! She does kills it every time. Kayden and Gareth are just chefs kiss❤️

My new favorite book!

It is soo good! Perfect amount of banter,dark romance,and emotion!! I love Kayden and Gareth!!

Whether standalone or fan of the whole Rinaverse, this book is worth the listen!!!!

The narration is amazing…. No whining strong character acting and the main male characters each have their own messed up traumatic unique backstory but ties into Legacy of Gods story and their parent’s books. A fantastic m/m enemies to lovers bully romance.

Mother Has Done It Again!!

Amazing. Loved it. So worth the wait. I love them and I want to hug them both. My babies🥹

Best Gods book! Plot, Spice & amazing Characters

I didn't think I'd top either Jeremy or Niko but Garrett's book is the best in my opinion. Wish I could go back and re-read it. The banter and over all relationship of these two guys was yes toxic like the rest of this series but heartwarming and the plot kept me interested the entire book. Can't wait for Hunt the Villain to be released now.
