Story
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.

Dante Marino’s the definition of beautiful destruction. Everything he touched, he destroyed...including me. We were friends. Then we weren't. He used me. Played me. Took every ounce of my affection and threw it away. He became my enemy, then risked everything to save me. Now, he wants me back, claiming he's changed - determined to make me his. Each vow, every possessive kiss, feels like he’s mine. But I can't forget that underneath his rock-hard body, seductive grin, and wicked promises, one thing will always remain true - he's my undoing.

When I started Midnight Mayhem, his presence faded. His whispers were silenced. His shadow dissolving without a trace. I wondered why that was.

1,000 STAR REVIEW!!! EPIC LOVE STORY!!!!
- By Monica on 06-21-22
By: Meagan Brandy
Publisher's Summary
A bet turned into a disaster.
Sebastian Weaver is the star quarterback and the college’s heartthrob.
Rich. Handsome. Bastard. Everyone’s attention flocked toward him, and all the girls dreamed of being with him.
Not me. At least, not until he made a move on me. See, I thought I was stronger than Sebastian’s charms. I thought I could survive being his target. I thought wrong. Little did I know that he will make my most twisted fantasies come true. Fantasies I didn’t know existed...
Red Thorns is a dark new adult book that contains dubious situations some listeners might find offensive and/or triggering. Red Thorns is part of a duet and is not stand-alone.

Dark, deviant, and DELICOUS!! 🥵
HOLY MOTHER EFFING WOW! Rina Kent saw me say that my mind was blown after reading her Deception Trilogy and went, “BET?!” OHMAHGAAAAWWD, y’all!! Red Thorns is a whole other level of dark! This story awakened some things in me that I didn’t even know where there! Like, damn.
Naomi and Sebastian have such a complex, dark, and often times twisted connection, but it’s so right for them. I didn’t always comprehend why they fit so well, but I could *feel* the intensity, passion, and pull of their connection and it was HOT.
Rina Kent knows how to pen a story that devoured me right back. It consumed me whole from the prologue until it left we a wanton mess desperate for just one more chapter...fucking epic! I can’t wait for more. No really, this book hoe is D-Y-I-N-G!!
Narration was PERFECTION!! Teddy Hamilton was epic as Sebastian. We’re talking eargasm enduring levels. Like, Sir—I am married!! *swoon* Rose Diogo was a first time listen for me, but she was fab and brought Naomi to life beautifully. She gave the character the perfect balance of fragility and strength and I loved it. Then we have little morsels of yum in the form of Jacob Morgan and all I can say is TAKE MY MONEY! All the stars.

FINALLY, the book I've searched for has been found
I've been searching for this book for a LONG time now. A book with the perfect mixture of demented, animalistic, sadistic/masochistic fantasies, and a great story. The chase scene was more than I ever thought to hope for, but the night with the power going out was just fantastic. Kink shame all you like, but don't knock it til you try it, ladies. And finding books that have a good story and also have the kind of scenes like this are rare. I felt like Naomi and I were the same person in so many ways. I'm not Asian, so in that way we are not the same, but I absolutely love Japanese culture, I feel that itch she talks about throughout the book that made her think something was wrong with her, I've had my own trauma that played its' part in it, and I played the part of standoffish goth chick in school. We even listen to the same music. So it's safe to say that this series is going to be near and dear to me for a long time coming. I can't even express my happiness at stumbling across this, and I loved Rina Kent's books before but this one was on another level of kinky that I just adore. She's not afraid to get down and dirty and push the boundaries of a contemporary romance novel and I LOVE that about her. She doesn't steer clear of the scary and equally amazing stuff that makes our dark sides come alive, and it's what will earn her a lifelong fan for life from this geeky, kinky weirdo. This one's going in my top five list for 2021, and I haven't even finished the second book yet. I already know it's gonna be epic. But if you're into vanilla or you don't like non-consent play, this one is NOT for you. But how anyone wouldn't get a little hot around the collar from the chase scenes is beyond me!

My FAVORITE audio of Rina's
This audio was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! I read the book and it was so so so good but listening to the audio just made it so surreal because I said this book was my favorite and the narrators made it THAT much better. Teddy narrated Sebastian's character SO WELL. I LOVED Jacob doing Akira. And Rose for Naomi was so perfect. THAT ENDING WAS SO JAW DROPPING. I CANT WAIT TO LISTEN TO THE NEXT!!!!!! If you have an opportunity to listen to Teddy and Jacob in the same book, DO IT! 55555555555555555555 STARS!!!!

Sebastian & Naomi
Wow! What a book and that cliffhanger. Awesome! Narrators are wonderfull. I'm accustomed to duet style narration in Rina's books and this book wasn't. That's the only thing that would have made it better. On to read Black Thorns.

I just can’t
I can do dark and I love good smut but this is too messed up for me to get on board with. While there are reader discretions, beware that this involves “rape play” and there is no love connection in this book. No judgement passed on those who loved this book and rated it high or on the author. Rina is great and I have enjoyed several of her other series but this was definitely a hard pass and a DNF for me.
Both narrators are great though! Love me some teddy!!

If this is wrong, I don't want to be right!
This is my first Kent read. I just bought 5 more of her books. If they are as eloquently dark and depraved as this one, Kent will be on my auto-buy list from now on. The narration was so, so good too!

One of Rina’s bests!
This book was so intense and very hard to read at times, but it was also one of Rina’s best works. She did warn us that there could be some triggers, so beware going into this, especially if you have had some experiences with bad relationships.
Rina is the queen of dark, complex stories. There hasn’t been one book that she has written that I have not listen to audiobook. Her stories are so intriguing and they just draw you in so deep. You even think about the stories long after you’re done reading them.
The story is told in a three person POV, Sebastian, Naomi, and Akira. Naomi lives with her mother who is a seamstress for an elaborate fashion business. Sebastian is the quarterback at the college they both attend, and then there’s Akira who is Naomi‘s pen pal.
I won’t go into much detail because I don’t want to ruin the story, but all I can say is that the relationship that Naomi and Sebastian have with each other is very toxic. Still, even in their twisted way they care about each other deeply.
As with all of Rina’s books, there is a huge cliffhanger. This is why I won’t start her books until the series is finished. This way, I go right into the next book. 🤪

My favourite R.K. book to date.
Now I've literally just finished this and as I try to calm my racing heart, all I can say is WHHHHAAAT?! Now I have to crawl out my skin until the second part of this duet. But this...far and away my favourite R.K book. Naomi is so strong willed and I loved her from the jump. Sebastian is far from the typical Kent hero, he's better. And to say this was the kinkiest Kent book so far...yes. Especially because...yup. Everything about this, the pacing, the kink, the plot, the characters, the Easter eggs, all tip top notch. And the audio...chef's kiss. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.
