I have a feeling this will be one of those series that I end up re-reading over and over and again and which quickly becomes a favorite. In fact, I think I might be feeling that way over everything I have read by this author so far - which is a lot, since I've been basically bingeing her backlist.

Anyway, as I said for book one, this is definitely satisfying my seemingly unquenchable need for all things mafia romance. I loved Rai and Kyle was delicious.

I want more.

The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💚💙💜🧡❤️
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📘📗📕📙📒
World building: 🌏🌏🌍🌎🌏
Character development: 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

The Hero(s): Kyle Hunter - Kyle is a trained assassin and is very good at his job. He left the Bratva for 7 years, but came back and is now bent on revenge against both the Russian and Irish mobs in the city. He plans on destroying both. He is the son of one of the Bratva leaders but blames both the Irish and the Bratva for his childhood. He was sold to a group that groomed assassins from a young age and taught them things like how to survive torture by torturing them.

The heroine: Rai (Raina Sokolov) - She is the the Grand-niece of the current Pakhan (head boss of the Bratva). She runs the Bratva’s legitimate company V Corp. which has huge profits and they are currently funneling the profits for use in their war against the Irish.

The Love Story: Kyle and Raina were married in an arranged mafia wedding, though by the end of Throne of Power they have obvious feelings for one another until something happens to tear them apart.



I love Rina Kent Books because you can always count on a stellar dark romance with an awesome story as well. This book had mystery, blood and steamy intimate scenes. Kyle and Raina had tons of chemistry and a bit of a twisted relationship but it works for them. Kyle is a bit messed up due to his upbringing but he owns it and Rai is the perfect foil for him.

There was a ton of Mafia in this one, not only was there the Russians and the Irish, but the Bratva had alliances with the Chinese and the Italians while the Irish went in with the Albanians. The Albanians are some crazy Mofo’s, so there was a lot of action as well. There are a few shootouts, some kidnappings and a few informants involved. I loved the story and how it all tied in with the romance.

I voluntarily read & reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts & opinions are my own.

Excerpt:


“It's more than fine. It’s exquisite.” His penetrating gaze holds mine hostage as he speaks and sips from his own glass. Then he licks the wine off his lips as his gaze slowly slides to my breasts.

I clear my throat. “I’m up here.”

Everything was really predictable, but I still enjoyed it! Rai and Kyle had too many fights in this one, but I guess I like this one more.

• In this book, Kyle's past is revealed and he's out for revenge. He wants to kill the people who killed his parents – Irish and Russians because they were somehow involved. He could've taken his revenge but he also wanted Rai, that's why he set-up an arranged marriage plan!

Kyle — is wayyy better in this book now that he started sharing his past with her. I actually felt so bad after reading his past scene where his mom and dad died. That scene was truly heartbreaking, and his parents loved him! What happened to him was bad, and I'm glad he found his godfather. Kyle's character is complex, and his past makes it understandable why he's so obsessive; he has put the lives of the people in love in danger once before because of his nature.

His betrayal with his godfather wasn't told, so I had to read it in 'ghosted'. Kyle was disheartened that his godfather was neglecting him for his wife/lover, so he aimed a gun at her and tried to kill her and also tried to kill himself. Well, he was forgiven, but he went to England!

Rai — aahh she was still the same. She's super indecisive, on one hand, she doesn't want to trust Kyle, but on the other, she can't just live without him. Glad she put up a fight with him for the things he did, but she should've held onto them!

Kyle exchanging her birth-control pills and making her pregnant was seriously so freaking wrong. And the hypocrisy of him to act like it's Rai's fault that she wants to abort the child—like, seriously? He was withdrawing from her and being petty, and Rai was like, "I WILL KEEP THE CHILD NOW." Okayyy soooo, I would've been more and more pissed, but Kyle actually apologized for it in the letter and told her about the reasons he did it and respects if she wants an abortion and all! And then he left her again... lol, he came back then. It's just, there's no point of being guilty, and I don't think he really is lol because he wants her to have his baby, it's just that he thinks he lost her. well now we have NIKOLAI so ig it was worth it eh? 👺

Damien is still my favorite character, and Rina, please, I beg you to write his book 😭 I WANT HIS BOOKKK! And Kirill giving middle finger to Rai while pushing his glasses up is so funny 💀 I really do hate adrian and but I wanna know what's his story is! I just know I'll hate it aaahhh 😭 and I really thought that Peter useless bodyguard will be the father of Ilya lolol! Baby Nikolai's scenes are so cutee and loveeeeeed kyle's interaction with Mia and Maya! 🥰

So now you want to destroy your uncle?"
"And everything the fucker stands for. He's the one who sold me in the black market and made me into this, but he's not the only one. The ones who contributed that night will pay too."
"Oh, Kyle."
"Save your pity, Princess."
"I'm far from pitying you." Her expression is determined, hard, and holds no doubts. "I want to murder him for you.


if im being honest, although i was interested in Rai's story after reading the Deception Trilogy, i didn't think i would be this obsessed with the romance yet here we are. 😭 these two were a perfect match imo, i loved how they were able to go toe to toe with one another. Kyle was pretty much your typical alpha male (whom i loved ok sjshgv) but i loved the way Rai stood her ground against him. their past history definitely made great tension in their relationship during the present day and the way these two would get jealous?? i was living for it. 👀

fav moments/random thoughts:


this duet took me by surprise, but im ✨obsessed✨

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

this was a bit better cause it had more mafia stuff, but everything else… 😂😂😂 i’m sorry, it’s just ridiculous!!!!!

he swaps her birth control pills without her consent, knocks her up even though she had expressed MANY times she didn’t want to be a mom. romantic right???🥰🥰

then she tells him she’s going to get an abortion, and what does he do?? stops touching her as iff it’s HER wrongdoing, gets drunk and plays the victim and leaves her, aww such a dreamy hero!!!🥺🥺

and THEN, Rai’s sister tells her that motherhood will change her and that she may THINK she doesn’t want one, bc omg what woman DOESN’T???!?! wow… she has the best people around her, truly 💘💘

but the BEST part was when Rai suddenly gets the epiphany that she has ALWAYS wanted a kid!!! it was just he insecurities speaking🥺👉🏻👈🏻 everyone was right and yeah, the birth control thing sucked, but oh well! i love my husband and i love how he always ignores my wishes, dismisses me and doesn’t understand the word “no”😌❤️

romance at its finest!💘🥰❤️💘🥰😍🥹✨


p.s. i liked Aleksander and Lia and Ana, im curious to see if they have books 👀👀👀👀

Rina Kent delivered such a great story and I couldn't be happier with the ending. Rai and Kyle’s story is filled with lies, deceit, captivating passion, off-the-charts chemistry and thrilling suspense all wrapped up into one.

“You become an obsession without whom I can’t breathe or think.”

Can’t wait to read the Deception trilogy telling the story of the enigmatic Adrian as well as the Lies & Truths Duet to discover the one of Asher & Reina (Rai’s twin sister). Overall rating: 4.5 stars!

The fact that Kyle and Ria are Niko's parents makes so much since. Niko and Kyle are both unhinged and so similar. I love that Ria was a badass mafia princess because it's always the men in these books that get all the credit 😂 I'm sure I'll be picking up another RK book soon :)

Star Rating : 4/5 Stars

POV : Dual

Cliffhanger : None

Hero : Kyle Hunter. He was ruthless yet charming . I loved the banter between him and rai and even though he was an ass most of the times , he still managed to win my heart over his vulnerable moments.

Heroine : Rai Sokolov. She was the true queen and definitely one of my favorite heroines by Rina! She never gave up and I loved the way she protected those she cared for no matter what the cost.

Pace of the story : Fast

Angst Rating : 6/10

Heat Rating : 8/10

Triggers Involved : Past Trauma

Plot Summary :
Kyle and Rai are back!! After that explosive ending of Book 1 , I was so crazy to get my hands on this one. That Cliffhanger drove me so crazy that I devoured this book in a single sitting! I won't say much about the storyline at the risk of giving away any Spoiler , but I can assure you that you guys have something phenomenal and crazy coming at you! Be prepared!

Overall Opinion :
Damn , that was some ending. I was so excited to know more about Kyle and his reasons for being the way he was and I can finally rest now. "Throne of Vengeance" is full of action , angst and heat all in one , making this one of my favourites from rina!! Rai is my favourite girl of hers upto date and I am totally having a girl crush! The way she destroys those who betrayed her had me in awe of her! There was a lot of character development in this book of the duet , which in turn gave my heart a lot of Angst! I loved the crazy chemistry between Kyle and Rai and I really hope that we see more of them in the future books.

The ending of the book was perfect and in typical Rina Kent way , this author gave us an amazing plot twist all the while leaving our poor asses hanging in anticipation for the next trilogy! Adrian is one cold asshole and I can't wait for more from him. Both Adrian and Lia intrigued me to such an end that I found myself searching for their Scenes! That was an added bonus for me and now I can't wait for my next fix from this author. From what I saw in this book , I already know that Adrian's book is going to be one hell of a ride and I Ready to have my mind fucked in the best way possible by this author!

Mucho mejor que el anterior
Tiene más acción, romance, drama y obviamente secretos revelados.

Lo único que no me gustó fueron los cabos sueltos y algunos fallos en la secuencia de la historia.

Me encantó que saliera Rei y Asher y que mencionaran a Aiden y Cole y sobre todo a mi daddy Jonathan King.
Me gusta que todas sus historias están conectadas de alguna manera. Así que espero que Ana ya tenga su libro o esté por salir porque NECESITAMOS.

Me gustó mucho el final siempre Rina Kent me deja muy satisfecha.

But not everything visible is beautiful. After all, the devil looks his best when luring in his victims.

I enjoyed this one more than the first. I think if you’re looking for a mafia romance read with heat, that reluctant marriage angst, and a splash of action then you’ll enjoy this duet.

I think I’ll pick up some of the books that spin off from this one. It would be cool to see a chart/tree of how all the authors books connect because it seems like many of them overlap with characters.

“He was always a step ahead, but this time, the ball is in my court .

This time, it’s his world that will be flipped upside down."




I didn’t want this beautiful story to come to an end , but as always all the good things usually ends.

Where do I even begin?

Kyle and Rai’s story was filled with angst , passion and some good amount of blood.

Their journey wasn’t easy but it surely was filled with action and plot twists . After that cliffhanger from the previous book , now we finally get all the answers we desperately went crazy for waiting .

There are some interesting plot twists since the beginning , and the secrets that were finally reveled were just WOW!

“Our marriage started by blood, and with blood it will end”



We can also see an evolution in Kyle and Rai’s relationship . if before we saw almost only the carnal passion now we got to see more of the emotional and caring part of their marriage .

Kyle’s mask finally is down , he’s ready to get what he want and he won’t stop until his plan is completed , no matter what.

And Rai is stronger than ever, showing everyone what a strong independent woman she become .

One of the best mafia romance ever.

“You become an obsession without whom I can’t breathe or think”



I won’t spoiler anything but I’ll tell you this: get ready for a crazy ride into the mafia world!

I gave it 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ , I hope you’ll enjoy it like I did!

ENJOY!

“Our marriage started by blood, and with blood it will end.”

Let me start with how disappointed i was when this book ended or how I am planning to cry myself to sleep tonight cause I am clueless as to what to do with my life rn (*getting stares from my tbr shelf*).

I will be honest, I didn’t enjoy the first book that much but this? DEVOURED IT, BABE! I swear to god, I would give 3 stars only for the epilogue cause I am a sucker for everything and the epilogue SERVED me. There was one thing which I didn’t really like (if anyone has read this they might understand but I dont wanna spoil for the others so...).
The book otherwise was perfect. I’m just glad that authors are now ignoring double standards and portraying women as fucking badass and powerful!! We stan women and girls who don’t let men treat them as shit and do whatever the hell they want! (Can i get an amen?)

Back to the book, this was the perfect escape I needed and i personally loved this one and this was possibly the best ending Rai and Kyle could have and I love Rina for that!

I’m just so so excited for Adrian’s books! I really found him a great character and the mystery which surrounds him makes me want to strip him bare and torture him with chocolates ( if he doesn’t like chocolates, I’m suing) until he tells me all his secrets;)

Now, just go pick this duet up, thankyew!

FIVE VENGEANCE STARS for Rai and Kyle ❤🖤❤🖤!!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

PERFECT CONCLUSION!!!

Ah, I totally enjoyed reading this book and I have to admit that it was a little better than the previous one.

"Throne of Vengeance" is a dark mafia romance with arranged marriage trope which kept me awake with its tense plot and I couldn't put it down until the very end.

Rai and Kyle's relationship has undergone many changes from the very beginning and I'm immensely happy that despite everything, they managed to overcome all obstacles and get the end they deserve.

If you're the previous book from this duet and you also love Rina's writing style, then this is the book for you!!!

Highly recommended!!!

And that's a wrap on Kyle and Rai. What a roller coaster of plot twists....all this time Kyle was being jerked around by the past that wasn't entirely the correct version of history.

We jump right back in after book 1 ended with Rai being ''pushed'' down the stairs and finding out about Kyle's true intention and why he came back after 7 years. Vengeance: To destroy the Irish and the Russian.

Kyle's mother however had lied and kept the truth from most. Kyle was not the biological child of her husband and was pregnant BEFORE she married him. His true father is revealed at the end, and it is the same Russian man she called to get help from but arrived too late to save her fate.
Who is it? Mikael. The one guy from the group that Rai and most people hate because he seems to be an absolute asshole. Thankfully he changes his tune after the truth is revealed and, in the epilogue, we find out he and Kyle both have a better relationship and Kyle is technically his heir rather than his other children.

Rai is pregnant in this one, yeah Kyle's attempt to manipulate her BC pills worked and Rai is NOT happy, she even brings up having an abortion and this sets off Kyle to what I have noticed more and more: he acts like a child sometimes and I cannot blame him because his childhood was stolen from him and he never had the right capabilities to cope like we all do growing up.
Thankfully Rai decides against it since that child ends up being Nikolai aka the infamous lovable psycho in the Gods of Legacy series.
I love how she described the pregnancy and him being docile, and we all know he took that personally and became the devil incarnate haha I love him so it's a compliment.

Kirill's secret is finally revealed. His bodyguard Aleksander is actually Aleksandra and a woman. It was revealed during the scene where her and Rai are kidnapped by the Albanians and almost raped. Rai however believes Kirill doesn't know and doesn't bring it up but obviously it is revealed he does know and honestly, I am SUPER EXCITED for their books. Why is she pretending to be a man? Why is Kirill allowing it? Are they together?

I never read the Team Zero books and I should (I bought them right before Rina unpublished them all) since I want to understand that world and how Kyle is a part of it etc.

I loved the scene where Kyle is absolutely relaxed and happy while playing with baby Gareth. Also, in the epilogue when he is playing with Nikolai and the twins *swoon*.

Almost gave it 4 stars but came to my senses (the epilogue was cute okay I am a weak person). The book overall was fine I liked it but that thing with Kyle and the pills, that made me really mad and the fact that Rai always repeated herself saying she will give him her wrath if he leaves her but he has left her like two times and I didn’t see no wrath from her so.... Yeah overall I liked it mainly because of the epilogue and seeing Ash and Reina (I STAN THEM) and little cute Gareth so if you wanna read it go ahead you’ll get entertained.

[1/5☆]

«Pero desde que vi a esta mujer de nuevo, todo lo que he querido hacer es poner esa vida dentro de ella.
Era una forma de mantenerla conmigo, atarla a mí para que nunca pensara en dejarme. ¿Me excedí al cambiar sus píldoras? Probablemente.»


El 60% del libro iba taaan bien. En serio, me estaba gustando más que el primer libro, porque por fin Rai estaba actuando en venganza y lo estaba disfrutando sin embargo, SIN EMBARGO VINO ESE 40% RESTANTE A JODERLO TODO. MERECE MENOS QUE 1 ESTRELLA.

Por dónde comenzar; primero, Kyle, cagada de mierda, merece estar preso por lo que hizo. ¿A QUIÉN SE LE OCURRE CAMBIAR LAS PASTILLAS ANTICONCEPTIVAS SIN SU CONSENTIMIENTO? TODO PARA DEJARLA EMBARAZADA SIN SU PERMISO. Es su jodido cuerpo, no tiene derecho sobre el y si ella no quería quedar embarazada era su decisión, se tenía que respetar. Punto. UGHH, la rabia que sentí mientras leía esas escenas.

"—¡No he terminado, joder! Sabes, esto es por lo que no puedo confiar en ti, Kyle. Esto es exactamente por qué. Un momento, me haces sentir como si el mundo estuviera al alcance de mis manos, y luego vas y me apuñalas por la maldita espalda.
—No seas tan dramática."


Y encima le dice "DRAMÁTICA", después de cambiar sus pastillas. SHIT. LO QUIERO MUERTO. En serio, odio puro es el que siento por él.

Tenía tantas ganas de abandonar este libro, pero NO, quise terminarlo para ver hasta dónde llegaba la autora con su discurso provida y por supuesto darle la peor calificación que se le puede dar a este libro. Porque no merece más. Y no entiendo cómo puede gustar este libro cuando hay una clara violación a la integridad de una mujer. Derechos sobre el cuerpo ajeno que no se respetaron. Yo entiendo que estos personajes no tienen moral sin embargo esto EXCEDE TODO, porque se están pisoteado los derechos de una mujer que NO QUIERE QUEDAR EMBARAZADA.

Lo odié, no lo recomiendo. Es una mierda este libro. Solo traes el coraje atorado por como lo resuelven, porque después de todo "el amor" todo lo perdona, todo lo resuelve. Que se vayan a la MIERDA.

Disappointment must really be a trend for me this year.

Dammit i was really REALLY excited for this book and it was a major let down. The book overall wasn’t horrible but it could’ve been so much more.

The book continues after rai overhears Kyle’s phone call and betrays him in order to save her “brotherhood”. And so began the cat and mouse game they so love to play, throwing the surprise pregnancy was a fun twist to their twisted life.

The epilogue was probably my favorite part in the entire book. ~~2.5 stars for me.

Not him refusing to wear a condom and switching out her birth control pills after she made it clear she didn’t want a baby 🥰
His response when she gets angry? “Don’t be so dramatic.” (actual quote)

We just love it 😍😘 #1 Hubby Award

Sis went for an abortion but then our amazing hero screwed her 8 ways to Sunday so she then decided she wanted to be a mother 🥳
H must’ve been working miracles if she decided within the span of an hour she wanted to carry his demon child for nine months

And I really thought I couldn’t hate him any more after the first book...

not me immediately feeling sorry for Kyle after finding out his backstory and why he did what he did to Rai. i just cant hate this guy. 🙈 i didnt expect Rai to pull a fake game, but that part was gold lmao. loved how Kyle refused to leave Rai alone. the epilogue was so sweet. the mafia plotline was also more intense, action packed (and a little confusing tbh). i feel like theres so much material that could be a potential set up for a number of future duets/series. overall, i rlly enjoyed this.

fighting the urge to not roll my eyes every chapter should be indication enough.

kyle is one of the worst mmc rk has written, and none of his "reasons" for doing what he did are excuse enough for me to forgive him. Messing with her birth control and getting her pregnant AGAINST her will is NOT romantic in any way you look at it. AND THEN HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO ACT LIKE A PETTY CHILD and act like a victim when she wanted to choose if keeping it was a good idea. how she stayed with him baffles me.

rai... had me for a moment, and then lost me again. Hopefully their kids won't be as stupid or annoying as their parents.

damienmio, adrianlia & kirillsasha crumbs being more interesting than the actual main couple and storyline shouldn't have happened.

ANYWAY ONTO ADRIANLIA BOOKS
