Publisher's summary

The villain isn’t supposed to be king.

I have a simple plan.

Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university.

One glance from the school’s king blows my plan up in smoke.

One glance and he suffocates my air.

One glance and he issues his death sentence.

His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos.
“I will destroy you.”

Everything about Aiden King is black.

Black mind.

Black heart.

Black soul.

I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left.

I didn’t.

I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.

The devil in his hell.

And now, I’ll pay the price.

Being hated by Aiden King is dangerous.

But being wanted by him is lethal.

Deviant King is book one of Royal Elite Series. This is a dark high school bully romance, mature new adult, and contains dubious situations that some listeners might find offensive. Aiden isn’t the normal romance hero. In fact, he’s not a hero at all. So please don’t listen to this if any of that bothers you.

This book is part of a trilogy and is not a stand-alone.

very dark high school romance

At first I thought this was just a run of the mill bully romance, but there's a story behind every corner. I can't wait for the next book. Shane East and Kiera Steven's do a wonderful job together

Wonderful

This book was ok. The male narrator sounded older than high school age. Other than that, it’s good for young adults. Cliffhanger tho

Absolute Perfection!!! That ending, oh my gosh!!!

Holy heck! Why did it take me this long to listen this book? It is absolutely amazing! Shane East’s voice is perfection! His voice demands your attention and you don’t want to listen to anything else! Keira Stevens’ voice was the absolute perfect female lead for this audiobook. Her voice was vulnerable and soothing. Both Keira and Shane grabbed my attention and I didn’t want the audiobook to end. I will definitely be searching for more audiobooks these two voice and listening for sure!

This book I loved every word written!!! I so badly need book two as soon as possible! That ending! 😱 What an audiobook book! I loved Rina Kent’s writing! Aiden and Elsa are amazing characters. This is an amazing must listen to!!!

Auditory bliss at is deliciously dark best

This dark romance is a symphony of passion, danger, and wicked allure, and it deserves every bit of its 5-star rating.

Shane East, portrayal of Aidan King, is absolutely brilliant, making every whispered endearment an auditory delight. But the brilliance doesn't stop there – Shane's portrayal of all four horsemen (Aidan, Cole, Xander), including the banter-filled Ronan Astor, is nothing short of genius. Each character is distinct, and Shane's performance is a testament to his unparalleled talent.

The banter in this book, especially from Ronan Astor, adds a brilliant layer of humour amidst the dark and intense storyline. It's a testament to Rina Kent's skill in crafting characters that feel real and dynamic. Shane's delivery of the banter is sheer perfection, making those moments memorable and entertaining.

The duet narration in "Deviant King" is platinum standard in the world of audiobooks. The chemistry between Shane East and Kiera Stevens enhances the narrative, creating an immersive experience that lingers long after the final chapter. If you're a dark romance lover, this is auditory bliss at its deliciously dark best.

Be warned, though – this book will leave you hungry for more. Rina has proven once again why she's a fabulous author, and "Deviant King" is a shining example of her storytelling prowess with Shane and Kiera for delivering a performance making this audiobook an absolute gem in the realm of dark romance.

What a surprise

I was hesitant to start this as it's a high school setting and I am LONG past high school. However after seeing so many glowing reviews I went for it. It's a good story that you really don't focus on their ages as much. Ready for book 2! Narration was awesome, but I wanted Shane more:)

Oh the angst!!

Wow!! This took enemies to lovers to a whole new level. I was not sure how I was going to feel about Aidan when he first turns his attention to Elsa. But holy hotness!! I cannot wait to see what happens next!

The performance AND story are outstanding

When the narrator says sweetheart, I get so excited and dizzy and smile so wide. It’s so good and the story part ended so unpredictable for me .. I really wonder how the author comes up with all this. I can’t believe there are really men like this. It would be so exciting.
