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.

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.

This is my first Ana Huang book.

What to expect:
- Age Gap (8 years)
- Hate to Love
- One bed
- Touch her and d-
- HEA

Our main characters, Dante and Vivian felt very well developed for me. I had heard some concerns with AH and character growth and plot but I did not see them here. I enjoyed this book from the beginning and binged it.

The smut was steamy and everywhere, lol. Libraries, limos, gardens, etc.

THE GROVELING, my gods! Dante had to work harder than any fictional man I had read to right his wrongs and win his girl back. That alone makes it a worthy read for me.

This book was amazing in every single way. A bit detailed so if you aren’t comfortable reading about sex then it would be a no but I loved it from beginning to end!
