My boss. My hell.

When I slept with a faceless jock as a teen, I didn’t think I would become pregnant. I also didn’t think I would lose that child.

Several years later, I find out that my daughter is alive, and I’m given a second chance.

One problem, though. The faceless jock isn’t so faceless anymore. He has a name everyone fears: Kingsley Shaw. A ruthless bastard. A heartless devil. And most importantly, my daughter’s father. Oh, and he hates me as much as I hate him.

We’re out to destroy one another with all methods available. Including a dangerous game of lust that might lead to our downfall.

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

After learning about Aspen and her past with Kingsley I was so anxious to read their story. This did not disappoint - lots of steamy scenes and their love/hate relationship is HOT!!

I enjoyed learning her past and her side of the story with her pregnancy and leaving Gwen. I think this can be read completely as a standalone but i would recommend reading book one first.

Steamy!

This was by far, my favorite Rina Kent's book!
It's enemies to lovers in it's best shape, with a real reason for their animosity, lots of emotions involved and a couple that is the epitome of fire meet gasoline!

Since the first book in the empire series, Kingsley and Aspen's story was the one I was most curious about, not just for their hatred toward each other, but for the reasons behind all that hate.

I'll keep this review short, but all my stars goes to this final book! A favorite this year!
Their bickering was delightful, Kingsley protectives was everything I didn't expected him to do... Especially when he was still hating on Aspen!
Aspen was so strong and so fierce in front of everyone, even when she was so broken and lonely inside! I wanted to hug the younger Aspen, and also have a girls night with the adult Aspen! She was incredible and a perfect fit for the ruthless and sexy Kingsley!
I won't even mention all the hate sex, cause if I do that, this review will be a mile long with how hot this couple was!

The book ended and I wanted so much more!
More of their relationship, their happily ever after... Even more so after the epilogue!
I loved everything!

Highly recommend it!

🎧 About the Audiobook Narration 🎧

Narrated by Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright.
The narration was another huge turn on with this book!
Both narrators did an impeccable job, fitting perfectly into Aspen and Kingsley's mood, and i can't wait to listen to more books with both of them!

Perfect! Love the narration and the story!

**Audiobook Review**

Goodness, Kingsley is a dirty, Daddy delight and I. Am. All. For. It. And he is another level of protective man which I loved. “Empire of Lust” is the fourth book in the Empire series and it was a wild rollercoaster ride of emotions and lust.

After the first three books, we finally get Kingsley and Aspen’s story. The build up has been there ever since we found out that she was Gwen’s mother. The angst and tension between the two was absolutely delicious and you felt it as you listened to their story. I loved how dominant and protective Kingsley was. Once he realized that he wanted Aspen, his sight was set on her. Aspen’s back story broke my heart and all that she went through. But it made her stronger and I loved seeing her bond with Gwen. When Kingsley and Aspen finally get together, turn the A/C on because it is sizzling hot.

This was by far one of my favorite narrations by Connor Crais. He brought everything to Kingsley’s narration and I felt everything as I listened. MacKenzie Cartwright was brilliant as Aspen. You could feel all the emotions and pain Aspen was going through as she learned about things from her past. I love when Connor and MacKenzie narrate together, they complement each other so well.

Steamy, action packed and heartfelt!

****Narration is really good, i love both their voices****

One remark is that the prologue does nothing to assist with understanding how the story starts. The prologue seems unnecessary to the story because one it goes to chapter one, you are like how did we get here and why do they hate each other.

But that aside this book actually keeps you intrigued because of the backstories and the tension that makes it feel like a slow burn one night stand to Enemies to Lovers haha

Tension. Sexy banter. family secrets

I'm a sucker for Happy Endings and this story was a great one with lots of great hot sex. The storyline was epic with lots of twists and turns. I definitely recommend this book along with the other 3 in the series.

Love Happy Endings!!!

It’s a wild ride! Loved it a lot! I’ve loved Kingsley and Aspen for a while and it was so great seeing them get their happily ever after! Trigger warnings for alcoholism, abuse, mentions of disordered eating. This was a dark book at times and it had high and low moments. Loved it so much.

Great story!

I love Rina’s books and I’ve been especially obsessed with the Royal Elite series - listening & reading them all several times. Empire of Lust might be my new favorite though! Kingsley & Aspen are a great match and the narrators were both excellent!

Favorite book boyfriend yet!
