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
Tempting Venom is a male x male college romance. While this book can be listened to on its own, for a better understanding of the world, it's recommended to listen to Beautiful Venom & Sweet Venom first.

Just like the first two books in the Vipers series, I experienced Tempting Venom on audio and I honestly can't recommend it enough. Teddy Hamilton and JF Harding absolutely do an incredible job bringing these characters to life. Their performances bring every sarcastic jab, every ounce of tension, and every emotional moment to life. These books were made to be heard.
After Sweet Venom, I already had an idea of where certain events are heading, so one of the emotional moments wasn't as devastating as they would've been if I didn't know the outcome but that didn't stop this book from making me feel everything.
Having read the first two books, I already knew Preston and Marcus so I was excited to finally get their story. And it did not disappoint.
Preston Armstrong and Marcus Osborn are rival hockey captains who hate each other almost as much as they're obsessed with each other. Their relationship is pure chaos, full of razor-sharp banter, explosive chemistry, emotional walls, hidden secrets, and enough tension to power an entire ice rink. It's messy, addictive, and impossible to look away from.
Can we also talk about how petty Preston is? His refusal to call Dahlia by her actual name had me laughing every single time. 😂 And one of my favourite tiny tropes? Characters texting each other. I don't know why, but give me flirty, chaotic text messages and I'm instantly invested.
Also... those spice scenes?! 🥵 Let's just say my poker face deserved an award while I was listening at work.
The ending? That epilogue reveal?! Safe to say I am invested in Crave the Villain.
✨ Tropes:
🏒 Rivals to Lovers
🖤 MM Dark Sports Romance
🏒 Rival Hockey Captains
💥 Unhinged Chaos × Unhinged Calm
🌈 Bi Awakening
🤫 Secret Relationship
⚖️ Power Struggles
❤️🔥 Obsession & Possession
💬 Elite banter and text messages
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you're starting the Vipers series, I'd definitely recommend reading the books in order. You can read this as a standalone, but you'll get so much more from the world, the characters, and the stakes if you've experienced the earlier books first.
Now excuse me while I impatiently wait for Crave the Villain because Rina Kent has me completely hooked.
Rina Kent... what are you putting in these MM romances?!
