Rina Kent Audiobooks

Ask devoted readers of dark romance to name the genre’s boldest voices and Rina Kent will surface within seconds. A New York Times, USA Today and international bestselling author, she has built a fiercely loyal readership on stories that embrace the villain rather than redeem him at the first opportunity. By her own admission she writes anti-heroes because she kept falling for the men nobody roots for, and that confession tells you almost everything about her fiction.

Her novels are unapologetically intense: enemies to lovers taken to its logical extreme, laced with obsession, angst and a darkness she never waters down. They arrive with content warnings, and her readers would not have it any other way. In recent years she has also become a significant force in MM romance, bringing the same ferocity to love stories between men.

Much of her work unfolds in one interconnected universe, where elite colleges and mafia dynasties overlap, so characters glimpsed in one series have a habit of seizing the spotlight in the next.

Three of her audiobooks feature with us, and the ratings tell their own story. Hunt the Villain, the second book in her Villain series, leads the pack with a 4.8 average from more than eighty listeners, narrated with wicked relish by Teddy Hamilton. God of Fury, the fifth entry in her Legacy of Gods series and a standalone MM romance, follows close behind at 4.7, with Hamilton once again at the microphone.

Kiss the Villain opens the Villain series and is the sensible place to begin; Stephen Dexter takes narration duties there, setting up the world that Hunt the Villain then runs away with. If you would rather sample the wider universe first, God of Fury stands happily on its own. Whichever door you choose, her audiobooks are waiting for you below.
