Ana Huang

The fourth Kings of Sin book from NYT bestselling author Ana Huang's delicious new series of standalones, featuring seven steamy billionaires inspired by the seven deadly sins.

King of Sloth

It was the way she moved, looser and more fluid than normal.

It was the way she carried herself, confidant with a hint of vulnerability.

And it was the way she commanded attention without trying, like she was a fucking goddes among mortals.

Silver heels added four inches to her height, and her skin glowed like pearls kissed in moonlight.

I grimaced. Pearls kissed in moonlight? Where the hell had that come from? I wasn't a poetic person in the least, but she looked good enough to inspire Shakespear himself.

I wondered if I'd upended her life the way she had mine, to the point where the pieces would no longer fit if she weren't there, because she wasn't a pit stop; she was the destination.

She was so fucking beautiful it almost hurt to look at her.

I wondered if she knew how much she occupied my thoughts and how I counted down the minutes to seeing her again when we were apart.

Three words uttered countless times by countless people over the centuries. Yet coming from her, they had the power to bring me to my knees.

If he wanted to he would 🙂‍↕️💕😝

"Wait." I fixed Xavier with a disbelieving stare. "When you said you booked the hotel, you booked the whole hotel?"

"I like supporting family businesses." His dimples twinkled with mischief.

"You kept asking me why I called you Luna.

I didn't tell you because I was afraid it would send you running for the hills. Even before we kissed, before we were anything other than a publicist and her client, you were a light in my life. A persistent, sometimes scary one, but a light all the same." Xavier's throat bobbed with a hard swallow. "Luna is short for mi luna. My moon. Because no matter how dark the nights got, you were always there, shining so brightly that I always found my way through."

Xavier was a grown man. It was time he acted like it.

One week in Spain with one of my least favourite people on the planet. What could possibly go wrong.

No wonder people call me ice queen. I couldn’t even show emotion properly.

But his amusement was contagious, and soon another smile cracked my face. 

I’m naming it the Sloane. Bitter at first but with a sweet aftertaste. Just like someone I know

Perhaps we were more similar than we realised.

The romantic in me said shut up and enjoy the experience.

Their presence, no matter how brief, left an emptiness that could never be truly filled.

You don’t have to thank me. I was happy to do it

I’d fallen in love with Sloane Kensington 

I’d be damned if I let anyone hurt her.

Every version of my happily ever after will always include some version of you.”

reading sloanexavier's soft romance was everything! and the drama i ATE UPP 

the way xavier truly loves and understands sloane as a person like he noticed that when she's anxious she would constantly tap her pen. like he just gets her!! sloane feeling safe enough with xavier to break down her defenses which btw learning about why she has these emotional walls was INSANE also this book is the perfect example of how the couple makes each other better, especially sloane for xavier 

“You can tell me anything.” Sloane’s pen stilled. “I know,” she said, even softer than before, and a tiny, crucial brick crumbled from around my heart. (xavier pov)

King of Sloth took me forever to get through, and it ended up being my least favorite Ana Huang book. The story felt too slow, and while it wasn’t terrible, it just didn’t capture my interest like her other works. Disappointing, but I’m hopeful the next one will be better.

I love the way this book and series is so interconnected. All the old characters from previous books were mentioned in one way or another. 

This book took me a while to finish but we made it!! I loved Xaviers nickname for Sloane (Luna), it was one of my favorite features. Xavier becomes CEO and received his inheritance from his father’s will. Now both live happily together with their goldfish, Fiesty. Ana, I look forward to reading King of Envy with Vuk. Ana always captivates me with her diverse and complex characters.

Classis Ana Huang - good but predictable. Very nice, easy read and loved the characters

Oh how I love Ana Huang. Another edition to the King of Sin series and was just as amazing as the others. I really love Xavier and Sloane and their stories and then their arc as a couple. It was a lot of fun to read. I do really love a reverse grumpy sunshine and this books is one of the biggest reasons why because the banter is always top tier! I’m so excited for King of Envy because of the little bit of teaser we got so I will be (im)patiently waiting for it to release.

I really liked this book waited a while for it to come out and had exams which interrupted a bit but omg the story is so good and enemies to lovers and forced proximity love Xavier and Sloane. 

It was super sweet, and fun but for me personally the end was a bit bland. Like I get it and how it works with the plot but I would have liked something more :)

This book was genuinely so bad I’m sorry 😭😭

I love this couple so much. They are adorable, and have my heart.

the one with the most plot so far in my opinion, this one is definitely one of my favorites, i love slone’s character and personality so much probably because i’m a little like her in many aspects and xavier’s personality balanced slone’s so good that it was delicious to see them interact, from the very first chapter i knew they’d make the perfect couple.

Very yummy apart from the shoe scene. 

The bonus scenes gains extra points 

ana huang writes/created my favorite trope- billionaire men with a soft spot for one person and a touch of violence 

anna haskins 

No words. My favourite in the series thus far, might even be my favourite she’s ever written. Obsessed obsessed obsessed.
