Tempting Venom

An Enemies to Lovers MM Hockey Romance (Vipers, Book 3)

By: Rina Kent

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, JF Harding, Emma Wilder, Siren Dixon

From New York Times bestselling author Rina Kent comes a nail-biting MM dark romance between two hockey rivals.

When two ruthless enemies collide.

My name is Preston Armstrong, and I’m the most depraved bastard you’ll ever meet.

I take what I want, ruin what I don’t, and live exactly how I please.

That is, until I crash into the force of nature that is Marcus Osborn.

Captain of our rival hockey team, and the perpetual thorn in my side.

A migraine in human form and the one person who refuses to play by my rules.

He’s my brand of heartless and just as deranged.

I set out to crush him, his career, and his infuriatingly gorgeous face.

But Marcus hits back with equal force, turning our rivalry into a violent, addictive dance neither of us can walk away from.

We were supposed to annihilate each other.

Instead, we spark a fire that threatens to devour everything in its path.

In this battle of two unhinged souls, our bodies become collateral damage.

But I never expected our stone-cold hearts to get involved.

Tropes:

Unhinged Chaos x Unhinged Calm
Rivals to Lovers
Hockey Romance
Power Dynamic
Secret Relationship
Bi Awakening

I can't get enough 🤭🤭🤭❤️

Mrs Rina kent you have done it again
this took my money but I don't mind you can have all my money anytime any day, such a masterpiece 👏🏼👏🏼 thank you for giving us this beautiful story ❣️🙏🏼

I LOVE EVERYONE

TS GENUINELY IS AMAZING. Preston is like the only character (or one of the only) where his trauma comes from somewhere that makes sense for his formed personality if that makes sense. And she did that beautifully and ts was a tear jerker and amazing towards the end. I LOVE LAWRENCE AND JUDE AND HAYES AND MILEY AND MARCUS AND PRESTON AND VIOLET AND MY GOSHHHSHDHDHDHDHD. This book was amazing. Towards the middle I was like eh like this could be better but the end? The end is what brought it from 4.4 to 5 (and ima bit bias). But this is such a recommend. They’re also some of the only characters who genuinely have chemistry like some characters ur like nah but THESE TWO??? OMGGGG ITS AMAZING 11/10 IM SO GLAD I GOT HYPED FOR TS IT WAS WORTH IT!!

Rina Kent did it again!!

I don’t even know how to put into words the magnitude of this story! Rina Kent is such an amazing storyteller. My mind was completely blown. I cried, happy and sad tears. And I was completely blown away by that ending!!! Ma’am how dare you just drop a bomb like that?

Perfect Narration

I can't even describe how good this book is. I don't know who was my favorite...Marcus in how he would describe Preston so poetic that it just made my heart so happy or Preston how he so needs love but just can't accept it..or how funny he just won't say Dahlia.. they are so perfect for each other..the push and pull..the Spice is so good I had to stop listening for a few minutes and process it..I can keep going...READ THIS BOOK ..

Loved
