About this listen

From USA Today best-selling author Rina Kent comes a new stand-alone grumpy-sunshine 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.

This book can be listened to on its own.

✨ 4.25 ✨

God of Pain was an absolutely entertaining, spicy and emotional read. I definitely enjoyed this book a lot more than the first one in the series, as these characters and their romance had a lot more depth and passion in my opinion.

I was able to listen to the audiobook at the same time as well and I have to say that the narrators did a fantastic job and definitely immersed me in the story more.

This is the second book in the Legacy of Gods series and while the main characters of this book are the second generation of the Royal Elite series and the Deception trilogy, those are not needed to be read before starting this one. The family tree and background of these characters were well detailed and explained in this book.

I would highly recommend though, checking the content and trigger warnings before reading.

It is dual POVs of the main characters, Creighton and Annika, and has some amazing tropes like: grumpy-sunshine, opposites attract, an innocent heroine and a dark romance.

The overall plot and storyline were beautifully written and well-paced. There were some heartfelt, amusing, action-packed, angsty and heartbreaking moments. There were also some twists that I was not expecting, but definitely pulled on my heart strings and made me tear up a bit.

I will say though, there were a few subplots that weren’t as explored as I would have liked and somewhat rushed at the end, like Annika’s OCD.

The romance and development between Creighton and Annika was fantastic. Their tension, chemistry and spice was perfectly written and explored. I just loved how different but compatible they were; they definitely brought out the best in each other. Creighton’s possessiveness and jealousy was also my favorite.

There were definitely a few similarities with Creighton and Annika’s romance to their parents, which I actually really loved.

I also liked all the hints and snippets to the other potential couples in the series. It definitely made me more curious on where their stories are heading.

The banter and group chat between all the guys was absolutely hilarious as well. This book definitely seemed to focus more on Creighton’s side and group, which I didn’t mind.

I gotta say that my favorite moment was the confrontation between Aiden (Creighton’s father) and Adrian (Annika’s father). So intense but hot as hell. I also just loved Adrian’s chapter, he will always be one of my favorite characters.

The ending was a bit rushed but still good. The epilogue also gave a few hints to the next book in the series and was honestly just the perfect conclusion for Creighton and Annika’s story.

Overall, just a fantastic and enjoyable read and audiobook.

God of pain

Oh my goodness the voice actors brought out Annika Volkov and Creighton King. A interloperbreaks into Annika’s family home. She reckons the young man by his eyes. But she couldn’t be sure if it’s really him. Until the following day at school where she sees him and validates her own thoughts. But why? I loved this entire series so far. Loved listening to the multiple voice actors in this book. I assume it’s like that in the first book of this series as well.

Absolutely phenomenal

I had read and really enjoyed the book but the audiobook was at a totally different level. The story was captivating and beautifully written and the narrator did an absolutely phenomenal job bringing this fabulous story to life . The narrators captivated the emotions and gave so much life to this story. I couldn’t put it down once I start listening it , it was unputdownable. I loved Creighton and Annika characters and the highlight for me has to be Aiden and Adrian characters narrated by Shane and Jason respectively. The story was captivating and beautifully written and narrated. I have read all of Rina’s books and she is one of my favorite authors but this is the first time I am listening to her books and I need to listen to more of her books in audiobook. This book was honestly a treat to my ears . Loved this book. Definitely a must read and listen.

Phenomenal love Creighton

5⭐️5🌶️
This book was everything and more. The possessiveness Creighton had over Annika was top tier 🤌🏼 The mix between pain and pleasure in this book was 🥵🥵 I love how Annika was able to bring Creighton out of that dark place. And Creighton helped for Annika in the woman she was always meant to be. My heart broke for the childhood Creighton had until The Kings saved him. And gave him the love and affection he deserved. Even though Anni brought light into Creighton’s dark world I did enjoy that dark side of him it was so dang hot. And the ending was such a good one. I love the love hate relationship Creighton has with Anni’s dad it was so funny. I can’t wait to read Jeremy and Cecily’s story.

Love

I'd meant to listen to them in order but accidentally did 1,3, and then 2. I honestly didn't think this was gonna be my favorite but I was so wrong. So far this is my favorite one. The voice actors did great and the story had twists and turns I wasn't expecting.

Starting romance books

From someone who is not used to romance book the beginning of the book can be slow and a little bit boring but after the paste of the book is more intense and get addictive real fast .

Team Creighton

I loved this one more than the first book! Rina Kent is amazing at story building, drama, and we all know we're here for the smut and dark content. 👀 SPOILERS

.

I love Creighton so much even if at some points his jealousy and territorial tendencies were overbearing AF. I did see anxiety in that based on what he'd experienced. I love the brooding, silent type that becomes more out coming with the help of a sunshine beam of a person. I truly felt the love between them as they realized it.

I love the wink at Nickoli and Bran and was very happy to find there is some boy love for them. I will say that folks should do their research on BSDM and not trust it from fiction. Reminder that this is fiction, darker fiction, and the Dom/sub relationship between the characters was not consensual at first. consent is key IRL.

Overall over this and can't wait to read more from Rina!
