King of Wrath (Kings of Sin, 1)

*A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*

An arranged marriage billionaire romance standalone from New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Ana Huang.

She was my North Star, the brightest jewel in my sky.

Ruthless. Meticulous. Arrogant.

Billionaire CEO Dante Russo thrives on control, both personally and professionally.

He never planned to marry...until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows.

Vivian Lau, jewelry heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. The wife he never wanted, and the weakness he never saw coming.

It doesn't matter how beautiful or charming she is. Dante will do everything in his power to destroy the blackmail and their betrothal.

There's only one problem: now that he has her, he can't bring himself to let her go.

***

Elegant. Ambitious. Well-mannered.

Vivian Lau is the perfect daughter and her family's ticket into the highest echelons of society.

Marrying a blue-blooded Russo means opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to her new-money parents.

While the rude, elusive Dante isn't her idea of a dream partner, she agrees to their arranged marriage out of duty.

Craving his touch was never part of the plan.

Neither was the worst possible outcome: falling in love with her future husband.

I ate this book up! Dante Russo is the man and I love the reappearance of some of the Twisted series men in here too.

This book kind of surprised me. It gave me this weird but powerful motivation to level up, be confident, be rich, and just own my life. The rich world, the power dynamic—loved that energy. Some scenes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but it wasn’t just about that. The plot had some good twists, and it kept me reading. What did bug me though: by the end, I honestly didn’t even want the guy back. Like… why?

3.75 Gotta love a Marriage of Convivence story or in their case Engagement of Convenience. A dark grumpy billionaire who slowly softens for the woman he loves and a people pleaser who has no trouble giving sass to her fiancé and learns to apply that to the rest of her life, Vivian and Dante prove that the right person can bring great things out of you. The circumstances surrounding their engagement was an interesting twist and while I hate third act breakups, I can understand the situation that they were put in.

I'm excited to continue the series.
