My forbidden husband.

I kissed my father’s best friend, and it kind of didn’t go well.

Not only because he’s 18 years older than me - but he also didn’t like it. Not one bit.

In my defense, I didn’t mean to fall for him. It just happened.

Nathaniel Weaver is the most attractive man I’ve ever seen with enough charisma to blind the sun.

He’s bigger than the world, owns half of it, and conquered the other half.

He was forbidden. Wrong.

So I totally got over him. Or so I told myself.

Until we’re forced to get married.

Now I’m trapped.

But maybe he’s trapped too.

Because we’re both reaching for that forbidden fruit dangling between us.

Empire of Desire is a complete stand-alone. No other books should be listened to prior to this.

I get why everyone swoons over Aiden Snow's voice. I really loved this book and dual narration.

Incredibly HOT romance!

Can I just go on and on about that man's voice? He does things to my insides. The storyline was amazing with twist and and I love how the plot thickened. Definitely worth the credit. Even though I don't ever want to hear about cupcakes, or vanilla ever again.

I would listen just for his voice alone

I loved this book. I could not stop listening. Thank goodness was because I’m reading/ listening in Rinaverse order recommend. I needed this or might have given up on the recommended order to read.

💕 Age gap, no grooming, marriage contract.

I love Rina Kent! I prepare to be completely swept away every time I read one of her novels. I know I’ll be worthless until I’ve finished! That goes for this story as well, although this one was a bit more predictable than most of her books. And coincidentally, I’ve read a couple other age gap books recently that had several similarities so it took away some of the freshness for me. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed this one…good balance of heat, romance, heartfelt moments as well as a hint of mystery. Listeners can have pretty strong opinions about narrators and we don’t all like the same thing…but for me, this narration trio was excellent! Three of my favorites!! 5 star narration and 4 star story. Yes, I definitely recommend!

Sexy, Age Gap Romance

I love Rina Kent’s books and this one did not disappoint at all. It was beautifully written with the heroine as very complex dealing with abandonment issues and two best friends. It was typical age gap story but the narration was outstanding especially by Connor Craig’s and Aiden Snow.
