Empire of Hate

A Second Chance Enemies to Lovers Romance

De: Rina Kent

Narrado por: Shane East, Christy Woods

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.

Wonderful addition to this series!!

Empire of Hate, an Audiobook by Rina Kent is book 3 in the Empire series. This is the story of Daniel and Nicole (Peaches). These two characters have a past and neither likes the other. But, now she is his employee and he is determined to make her life miserable…..to make up for his treatment by her in the past. She has changed a lot since then…the constant back and forth…blame-don’t blame, hate-don’t hate…had my head spinning at times. The other characters were ok…and the story line was good!!

This Audiobook was narrated by Shane East and Christy Wood who do a great job performing the story!!! They brought something more to the story!! Great job!!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this Audiobook.

Beautiful Story!!!

Another great story by Rina Kent! This is definitely one you have to listen to since the characters are originally from London. The British accents are so yummy, especially Daniel! Shane East and Christy Woods both did such an incredible job bringing the characters and story to life. I highly recommend spending a credit on this book!

Incredible!

I have never reviewed a book before but I had to with this one! I read the two books prior to this one and although it’s not necessary I was glad I did. Only because I had something to compare this one to. This book is absolutely 5 stars or more. The story the slow burn the push and pull. You can actually feel what the characters are going through. Just amazing. I will likely reread this one and I’ve only ever reread one other book in my life.

Dark and perfect 🖤

I loved this! This was enemies to lovers done right. I was soooo mad at Daniel for so much of this book, which I was supposed to be, but I ended up loving him so much! I absolutely loved getting to see the entire story through Nicole's eyes. I had no idea all of this was brewing in the background! And Chris 👿 I was shocked, appalled, and enraged! I liked how it was handled though. I loved this book!

LOVE LOVE this story of Daniel and Nicole

I have always love the stories weaved by Rina Kent and how she connects some of the families and characters from past stories. This one started out with so much angst and bitter dialogue. The anger and level of hate sky rocketed at the beginning….The narration of course, superbly done by the sexy Shane East and Christy Woods, new narrator for me was phenomenal as Nicole. Excellent listen !

Daniel Belongs to Me!

This book was so good. I love Daniel from the earlier books, and his story was epic. The one thing I really like about Rina’s books is that she incorporates every character that she’s ever written somehow in the stories. All of them are connected which makes it so fun because you have favorite characters from other books. She also picks the best narrators. Shane East was perfection, and Christy Woods did a good job as well. She’s actually new to me, but she was great at the female voices. I

I won’t say anymore about this because I don’t want to give anything away, but I know that you have to not only read it, but you have to listen to it. You will not be sorry.

Hate, lust, and second chances

4.5 stars! When Nicole took accepted the job of assistant, she had no idea it was for the man who used to be the object of her secret desires, and her public ridicule when they were younger. And Daniel has never forgiven her for what he perceives as crushing his heart, forever turning him off of blondes. Looking for payback, he’s determined to make her life a nightmare on the job, either forcing her to quit or giving him a reason to fire her. But what neither of them realizes, is that their entire relationship has be a series of misunderstandings and miscommunications. While at times, this can be a bit frustrating, their chemistry and tension keeps things interesting, and knowing that eventually something’s gotta give, it’s that hope that kept me invested in the story. Little by little, truths are revealed, honesty wins out, and they have to move past years of mistrust and heartache to move forward. I ultimately enjoyed this story quite a lot. Daniel was a character is previous books that was definitely not one I expected to like as much as I ended up liking him, which in and of itself makes this a great story.

Oh My Audio Book

Tea Monsters!
What a RIDE!! These two are so stubborn. They almost lost out on a good thing sorry Great Thing. You will not be disappointed. If you are a Rina Kent fan then enjoy if you are new to her book this will convince you however, don’t miss out on the entire series! Enjoy the experience

Captivating and Emotional Romance!

I was completely captivated by this steamy, enemies to lovers romance! This is an emotional, and sizzling romance that will take your breath away! Daniel and Nicole have been drawn to each other since their youth. Nicole comes from privilege and was forced to act a certain way. She wanted Daniel, and when it appeared he didn't see her, she would do whatever she could to get his attention, even when it would hurt them both. Daniel didn't want to be attracted to Nicole, and the more he wanted her, the more he pushed her away. Now years later, after they lost touch with each other, Daniel is her new boss. He is intent on making her life miserable, then fire her. Nicole is running from a tragic situation, and needs this job. She is determined do whatever it takes to keep it, even if she has to endure Daniels harsh treatment. But the all consuming attraction they have for each other turns their tense interactions into fiery passion. But there is too many years of secrets, and misunderstandings to overcome. As secrets are revealed, will they be able to trust each other to finally open their hearts, or will they break each other for good? I loved how Kent expertly told this story in past and present sequence, with all it's twists and turns, giving us time to discover who Daniel and Nicole are today and how they got there, allowing us to understand, empathize and cheer for them to heal and have their HEA. My heart broke for what they both went through, and their struggles to move on. I was frustrated with some of their poor decisions, and actions, but I loved how they grew into better people. Nicole's growth and change was especially beautiful, from someone you loathed, to a strong, resilient, caring heroine. Daniel is a ruthless and sexy hero who will make your heart skip a beat.
The narration by Shane East, and Christy Woods was fabulous! They are so perfect as Daniel and Nicole, as they not only build the tension of the story, but the fiery attraction between Daniel and Nicole as well. Their banter was brilliant, and they conveyed the depth and complexity of all their emotions beautifully. I always love East's work, and he did a great job showing Daniel's ruthlessness, conflicting emotions, and delicious dominance. This was my first time listening to Woods and I really enjoyed how she expressed Nicole's determination, thoughtfulness, and fiery passion. I was completely lost in their moving performance.

Empire of Hate

I enjoyed the realism of the characters, situations, and dialogue. Well done, well worth the credit.
