King of Pride (Kings of Sin, 2)

A diverse and steamy, forbidden billionaire romance from New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Ana Huang!

She's his opposite in every way...and the greatest temptation he's ever known.

Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos--and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified.

With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can't afford the distraction she brings.

Isabella is everything he shouldn't want, but with every look and every touch, he's tempted to break all his rules...and claim her as his own.

***

Bold, impulsive, and full of life, Isabella Valencia has never met a party she doesn't like or a man she couldn't charm...except for Kai Young.

It shouldn't matter. He's not her type--the man translates classics into Latin for fun, and his membership at the exclusive club where she bartends means he's strictly off limits.

But she can't deny that, beneath his cool exterior, is a man who could make her melt with just a touch.

No matter how hard they try, they can't resist giving into their forbidden desires.

Even if it costs them everything.

4.5⭐️ I loved this book and this couple soooo much. I knew even before starting it they’d be one of my top couples and I was right. Kai has literally risen to the top of my favorite Ana Huang men and fictional men lists. This book definitely wasn’t as dark as some of her others but I still enjoyed it and feel like their story is in some ways the most realistic of the bunch.

This is book two in the King of Sin series but can be read as a standalone.

This book is about Kai Young, a billionaire heir and Isabella Valencia, a bartender. Isabella is a bartender at the Valhalla club and Kai is the member of Valhalla. The steaming chemistry between the two of them is amazing, even though they aren't supposed to fall in love. Their forbidden relationship and opposites attract trope is what I love the most about this book.

You'd definitely like the book if you like romance genre.
