King of Wrath Kings of Sin

Ana Huang2022
She's the wife he never wanted...and the weakness he never saw coming. Ruthless. Meticulous. Arrogant. Dante Russo thrives on control, both personally and professionally. The billionaire CEO 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. It doesn’t matter how beautiful or charming she is. He'll do everything in his power to destroy the evidence 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 high society. Marrying a blue-blooded Russo means opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to her new-money family. 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 thing she could possibly do: fall in love with her future husband.

Ana Huang has my whole heart! I had such a great time reading this book. The back and forth banter between Dante and Vivian, their chemistry, the angst, was chef’s kiss. Even though you sort of know what’s going to happen, having it unfold the way it did was delightful to read. I couldn’t put the book down. Not just the romance, but the way the book explores different family dynamics and the dysfunctional relationships that go along with it is very realistic and refreshing. It doesn’t sugarcoat anything, but gives it to you straight and certainly makes you ask some tough questions. Balancing what your heart desires and familial expectations is a Herculean task, and only the very lucky ones get to have the best of both worlds. But maybe that’s a cultural thing and it’s just me. Dante and Vivian have my heart ❤️

I loved this book! I loved Vivians strong / powerful personality, I loved the family dynamics and I loved the way they thought logically. Dante is your typical billionaire, but I loved him because he was so well written.

But what I loved most were the FIGHTS! It felt so realistic and both POV’s were right! Just like a normal fight there isn’t one clear answer where one person is clearly wrong and one is right. Both are right in their own perspectives.

i should hate u - gracie abrams

partition - beyonce

love seeing viviandante slow-burn relationship develop from an arrange marriage GAH THE ANGST THE DRAMMA and the groveling !! 

i love vivian! she is such a complex female character where she is strongwilled yet fragile when it comes to her family. ugh she is such my fav character so far 

viviandante are different people especially with their own cultural differences which I love that the book talked about - but they both have one thing in common: their love for their family 

this is such a good start to the kings series and i am so excited for the rest of the series

This book had me hooked from the very beginning, and I couldn't put it down. The story follows the intense and charismatic Dante Russo, who is a billionaire with a dark past. His character is so well-written, with layers of complexity that make him both captivating and relatable. Dante's relationship with Vivian, the strong and independent heroine, is electric. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the slow burn of their romance had me on the edge of my seat. The way they navigate their feelings amidst all the twists and turns of the plot is just perfection.

I swear there is crack in these books because I ate this up again like no other. Such an enjoyable and quick read! I will always devour billionaire romance and arranged marriage tropes because of the palpable tension and the goddamn smut (yall know what i’m talking about) Dante and Vivian truly didn’t miss! They weren’t exactly slowburn, because the attraction was there from the very beginning but I looked forward to it nonetheless. Lastly, the plot isn’t exactly unique, but at this point I’m really down bad for any book written by her so I need the next one already booo tomatoes throwing tomatoes (kai *coughs* young)

When I was reading twisted lies, I thought man, I would read a whole book on Dante mf Russo. NOT REALIZING he has a book :)

Anyway I really liked this book. I think the more Ana Huang books I read the more I like her. I did however have a love hate relationship with every character except maybe Isabella and Sloane.

Vivian's eyes glowed with anger. "You're an asshole." Yes, I am. Better get used to it mia cara, because I'm also your future husband.

Just omg.

Moving on didn't always involve big gestures or heavy talks. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments were the small onesa softening glance here, a simple but sincere apology there.

Love wasn’t always about the big moments. More often, it was tucked in the small moments connecting the major ones.

In the words of Enzo Russo, emotion was weakness, and there was no room for weakness in the cutthroat corporate world.
