From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a grumpy-sunshine, scorching dark college romance.

I made a terrible mistake.

Being a mafia princess, I knew my fate was already decided.

But I went ahead and longed for the wrong one.

Creighton King is bad news with a gorgeous exterior.

He’s silent, brooding, and obviously emotionally unavailable.

So I thought it was over.

Until he awakens a beast inside me.

My name is Annika Volkov, and I’m Creighton's worst enemy.

He won’t stop until he breaks me.

Or I break him.

Tropes:

Grumpy MMC x Sunshine FMCD/s dynamics

Opposites attract

Mafia backdrop.

This audiobook can be enjoyed as a standalone, but for a deeper understanding of the world, consider starting with God of Malice.

This audiobook is re-recorded and republished in duet format as of November 2025..

I love that we get to continue this family story

This family has me hooked. Each book allows me to get more answers to questions I had since the first time I read about Adrien and Lia. Love love love

Love it.

Such a damn good book !!!! Loved the story twist and turns. Love creiiiii!!!! They both find peace.

Almost a 5⭐️

It was honestly soooo freaking close to a five star but Creig and Ann aren’t my favorite couple🤷🏻‍♀️ But I still absolutely loved the storyline!! My mind was 🤯 with this one! Rina I just can’t with these twists and turns it was crazy and I mean that in the best possible way😊👏🏻

Better than the first

“I lost to you a long time ago. I love you, Annika. I love you to the point I see darkness without you and light only when I’m with you. You’re my sanctuary and the one person who makes me whole.”

My heart went out for Creighton, him and Annika couldn't have been more opposite but I think that is the point with this series and the others that have sort of tie into this. You have the dark broody, morally grey men and the women that basically bring them to their knees.
Creighton although adopted by a family that he loves more than life he still had lots of pinned up emotions and thoughts of revenge towards those he felt caused him pain as a child. Because he had no outlet he just wanted to unleash pain on people. In comes Annika to make him see that there is more to life, as he slowly let her in the pain he wanted to inflict on her was followed with pleasure. There is so much to their story that neither of them know and when they do learn it, it could and almost does destroy their relationship. There are some pretty decent spice between the two of them and some funny moments laced with sarcasm.
I did enjoy this one much better than the first book in this series so I am hoping it continues to get better. Who is the next dark, morally grey man to be brought to his knees by a woman.

Didn’t like but didn’t hate.

I used to love Rina’s books but they’re starting to become recycled. The plot was okay but I did enjoy the audio of this rather than reading.
