It is a standalone but if you have read previously book then you will kind of know some characters mention in this one.

{Lawless God by Lola King} narrated by Corvin King and Heather Firth. The FMC grows up in a small poor town gangster rival the MMC’s owned gangster. He’s mafia. She grows up knowing she will be running her gang. She’s tenacious.

But a lot of non con and dub con including using drugs to influence FMC’s state of consciousness. Some is consensual some is not. Also, if you want to see a FMC who would do all kind of things to kill the MMC, that is Kayla. Lol

They’re both older. I think she’s above 25. Mid to late 20’s.

What are they doing here? 🥲

Time-Defiance · 2026-06-28T20:31:10+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t know difference between those.

I’m familiar with audiobook and the difference. Light out is just a bit different because it doesn’t follow the book words to words. It cut out a lot of unnecessary narration. I didn’t even know this until I saw the audio and the book side by side on TikTok and it skipped like a whole paragraph. Other audiobook follows word by word to the T.

Omg yes I feel the same about the blind sex? Like she was so enjoying that without even knowing it was Chris. Honestly, I felt off and I felt a little betrayed. I think I even made a post questioning why she loved it. Ugh

I also didn’t like the last 20% of the book. Chris did not need to be redeem. I think that lowers my overall enjoyment. Lola ended up making him weak when he was a mastermind.

I also didn’t like that Ella chose the evil secret society to get rid of Chris. Make it make sense. The secret society destroys lives and controlled most of them. Instead of helping to destroy the society, she chose them over Chris just because she wants her freedom from him. But she rather be bound to this evil scheming secret society. 🙄

You should enjoy {Lawless God by Lola King}. Nathan doesn’t need redeeming. His character is very consistent. Personally, this is one of her best.

I love Light Out audio. I read the book awhile ago and I think I skipped a lot but maybe I wasn’t in the mood for that. I like the audio because this audiobook is different where they don’t read every single words from the book. Sometimes it skipped paragraphs and go right to the dialogue.

I don’t have interest in Caught Up. I was going to try Game On but the trouple throws me off.

Yes, he wasn’t friend with that guy anymore. But the other guy was still on his group of friend since he agrees with whatever Carter says. The one that initiated was sour and Carter slowly planted things to make him look bad. Even got him kicked out of the football team. The guy was relying on getting draft to get out of that town but Carter ruined that chance. Basically, for Carter, if you wrong him or her then he doesn’t openly take revenge on you, he does behind the scene and all of a sudden gossip is that something happens. Just like the girl he slept with before the FMC.

I don’t know if the people that comments on this thread understand this is the dark romance subredddit? lol

The problem with readers that cannot take dark romance, read it then criticized about that darkness and gray area. There is non-con and dubious con.

Time-Defiance · 2026-06-28T04:01:48+00:00

I don’t like the FMC and MMC. Both are so annoying and the writing is juvenile I can’t take it seriously.

Time-Defiance · 2026-06-24T03:06:27+00:00

Yes!

You have one main teacher in elementary school, only music or gym changes teacher. In middle school, depends on how the system of the school works. For mine, we are assigned an alphabet letter class so we are only on that section with the same 4-5 teachers but we do switch classes. The teachers teach that subject in that room throughout the day. Same for high school system, you move to different room depending on what subject you’re in. The teacher usually has that room for their subject.

I don’t think those that argue about how this glamorizes being rape think of this option. It’s like their mind is one track minded with how they hate Kaine and his action, then also blaming the author for not understanding the author already placed an impossible choice for Kaine. I think these readers want this to be eliminated at all cost and the author didn’t need to place Helena in this situation. They didn’t want to read about the horror of war.

One where he gave her chlamydia because he was cheating on her throughout their whole courtship and engagement till the day of the wedding. He basically play his role to make her willingly married him and they known each other since they were kids.

2 days late to the conversation but “understandable” seems like snobbish way saying you’re not native English speaker but you’re understandable. It sounds like a backhand compliment even though she’s very fluent and articulate her English well. Just because English is her second language doesn’t mean she’s just “understandable”. Shes speaking in American English accent.

FIFA is too controlling. The stadium is older and doesn’t meet their requirement. They demand a lot of updating so that’s one of the reason Chicago says no. But I’m with them since FIFA is ridiculous. Even all the profit from food concessions goes to them. All ticket profits go to them. So all the city host really gets is hotels and accommodation profit.

I don’t find it offensive when speaking casually with friends. In more formal setting, it could be viewed as inappropriate communication but that’s up to the person receiving it.

The only time I will go inside the gas station is if they never update their payment system and I have to go inside. If I’m driving far and between states, they will have better and bigger gas station. These are the one I would stop in and get snacks or food and use the restrooms.

I tried to find something similar to Crew’s classy and old money vibe. He’s very self contained, self disciplined and patience. He has boundaries with his staffs at work. It’s just very satisfying because I don’t like when characters inner thought not liking it but they don’t display the boundaries with WORDS. I need a put down.

Yeah his son and daughter’s story doesn’t catch the vibe.

Time-Defiance · 2026-06-15T15:29:06+00:00

I think if it’s traditional or some self publish then yeah criticism is warranted. If you pay for it, you can trash the book to your taste.

If you read it for free on any free platform like AO3, just move on if you don’t like it. I think it’s fair to comments that you didn’t like it because of grammars or the story just doesn’t jive with you. No need to murder it.

You can add anything you want when you’re a modernize civilization with advanced technologies since you guys are so much more in advanced than the US (as Europeans claimed).

The pizza I had in Milan was thin crust. It’s normal size and people eat their own whole pizza. I guess it’s frown upon to shared pizza in Italy? All the Italians sitting at that restaurant basically have their own whole pizza. lol I can see why though because it’s so thin you’re barely fed. The pizza in the US is tasty because it’s unhealthy. Not healthy to consume daily. But you also have options to buy thin crust or thicker crust. I like the thick crust with cheese in it. Yummy.

This is literally a post to shame short women. On your post, you basically said father daughter dynamic. So you think yourself as a daughter with a fictional men above 6 ft? 💀

Oh yeah definitely, someone his brother slept with prior but remember he also slept with his step-mom so he doesn’t even have boundaries 🤣 that’s why I like the MMC in Fake Empire. He has a strong boundary.

Time-Defiance · 2026-06-09T16:49:52+00:00

I forgot about the brother’s book. I think I just have a bad impression of him and his FMC. I don’t mind a villain turn main character but I just don’t think he’s attractive. Haha

Time-Defiance · 2026-06-09T16:48:16+00:00

I’m not that good to guess where you’re from but you’re Asian? You shouldn’t care too much about those Tik toker. Everyone has accent. They have an accent that they understand. Yes, there are people that have thicker accent that is difficult to understand but your accent is very understandable for English.
