Rina Kent does it again 😍
Kane and Dahlia had amazing banter and chemistry! Dahlia’s fiesty stubbornness was a perfect match for Kane’s control freak, dominating attitude. They were the definition of the sound “is somebody gonna match my freak.”
The hockey aspect was very light but enjoyable nonetheless.
This was very typical Rina Kent formula and similar tropes and scenarios but different enough that it didn’t feel like a fully recycled storyline. Also the tie with Legacy of Gods/Kiss the Villian 😍

my new book boyfriend

Kane Davenport is unhinged in the best way and I found that out 72 pages in. I loved this. If you’re a fan of the LoG series then this is for you. Preston gives off Niko and Landon vibes and Jude is just Jude. Dahlia is one of the strongest FMCs in the Rinaverse and can hold her own. I loved the references to Kiss the Villain and Kayden, hopefully we’ll see more of him in the future.

Dear Me,

You really enjoyed this one. It’s the first Rina Kent book you have read. You loved the darkness of it and the romance. It did take a while for you to get fully absorbed, until chapter 18 hit (if you know, you know). From that point on you were absolutely hooked and couldn’t put the book down.

The thriller aspect was also intriguing and gave this romance something extra. The dynamic between Kane, the MMC and his best friends, Jude and Preston was interesting. You really liked the FMC Dahlia, she was feisty against Kane’s coldness which made their banter and arguments delicious as were some of the shmexy scenes.

Overall, you loved the writing, however occasionally the dialogue was a bit clunky and lacked depth or felt rushed in certain situations.

For your first Rina Kent book it was a great introduction. You can’t wait for Jude/Violet and Preston/Marcus books.

Love, Me
