I love their story, how they needed each other in ways they didn’t know until they felt it. And how she helps him work through something so dark for him to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel

Mafia romance done RIGHT. Nico is a whole problem and honestly? I’m not complaining. 😮‍💨🖤 Prepare to be obsessed. I stayed up way too late because of this book and I have zero regrets 😭 The slow burn, the tension, the vibes — chef’s kiss. Start t...

I didn’t expect to root for the monster. I really didn’t. But then Rina Kent handed me Killian Carson, cold, calculated, obsessive and somehow made me understand him. Made me want him for Glyndon in a way that probably says a lot about me BUT I’m no...
God of Malice (Standard Edition) by Rina Kent, Paperback
 
Ashlyn Smith profile picture
Rina Kent does it again with a hero so morally gray he’s practically charcoal. God of Pain delivers everything you want from a dark mafia romance: a broken, controlling anti-hero, a heroine who refuses to be a doormat, and a slow-burn tension that ma...

If you thought Rina Kent couldn’t get darker, God of Wrath proves you wrong. This one hits different — it’s raw, feral, and unapologetically intense in a way that lingers long after the last page. The hero is the kind of terrifying-yet-magnetic forc...

The one that started it all, and it’s easy to see why. Hannah Wells and Garrett Graham’s fake-dating arrangement is the perfect slow burn — she needs help catching her crush’s attention, he needs his grades saved before hockey season implodes. What s...

Logan and Grace bring the angst. A reckless hookup and an even more reckless mistake sends Logan into full groveling mode for the rest of the book — and honestly, watching him earn it is half the fun. Logan’s got more emotional baggage under the char...

Dean Di Laurentis is the manwhore-with-a-heart-of-gold archetype done right, and Allie is fresh off a breakup with zero patience for his games — which of course makes her the only one immune enough to actually change him. This one leans more into the...

Tucker and Sabrina close out the main quartet, and it’s a satisfying way to wrap the friend group’s stories. Their dynamic has more of a “known each other forever, finally admitting it” energy, which feels like a nice shift after three books of new-r...

Four novellas, three years later — a wedding, an elopement, a surprise pregnancy, and a proposal split between all four couples. It’s less about new conflict and more about seeing everyone’s happily-ever-after actually play out, which makes it the pe...

The final chapter, tying every family thread together. A satisfying, high-stakes close to the Legacy of Gods world — best read after the rest of the series for the full emotional payoff.🩷

This one doesn’t hit like her other books — it aches differently. Regretting You is grief wrapped in a coming-of-age story, and Hoover doesn’t shy away from how messy loss actually is. Morgan and her daughter Clara are both grieving the same person f...

If Regretting You ached, this one shatters. Reminders of Him might be Hoover’s most emotionally brutal book, and that’s saying something. Kenna spends years trying to rebuild a relationship with the daughter she’s never truly known, while carrying th...

This is the one that started the CoHo wave for a reason, and it’s not because it’s easy to read — it’s because it isn’t. It Ends With Us follows Lily as she falls for Ryle, a man who’s magnetic and attentive right up until he isn’t, and Hoover writes...
