This was my third Ana Huang book and I have to say she has yet to disappoint! I loved this arranged marriage, grumpy billionaire book. I absolutely loved Vivian and Dante, the character development, relationship development and all the obstacles they had to overcome together. It was a great, entertaining, spicy romance that I would definitely recommend!

Great...Ana Huang has given me a new series to fall in love with/become obsessed with!

Thank you Sourcebooks Bloom Books and NetGalley for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

I liked this book better than the twisted books. The relationship between Dante and Vivian was surprisingly sweet and there was a good amount of spice. My mind can’t comprehend if this stuff really happens in the lives of extremely rich people!! Arranged marriages for STATUS, blackmail, lavish dates and parties. I literally would not survive that lifestyle!

Arranged marriage, alpha males, strong female, blackmail and spice!! I got completely lost in Dante and Vivian's story. This dangerous, gripping, all-consuming story will keep you turning pages wondering what Dante and Vivian will encounter next.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloom Books for the opportunity to reread this book before it's wide release. Ana Huang quickly became one of our favourite authors after reading Twisted Games in 2021, and has not failed to serve since. King of Wrath was truly a new height for Huang. The story was well flushed out, there was a great plot that didn't feel secondary to the romance, and everything was well-integrated.

Vivian was easy to fall in love with , but surprisingly, Dante quickly became one of my favourite male leads. His character was so well-written, with such specific idiosyncrasies and fears. He's the first Huang character who's had enough of a background to make him a real, human love interest. I loved his relationship with Vivian, and his later relationship with his brother. I think this book was also an ode to older siblings through Dante's character, which I really appreciated.

The hints of luxury and designers/old-money heirs and heiresses with absolutely bonkers names were a really fun add on with this read. We got a big kick out of that.

That aside, though, we think one of my favourite things about this book was how Huang handled cultural differences in Vivian and Dante’s relationship. From the get go, we see Dante struggling to reconcile Vivian, his fiancée, with Vivian, Francis Lau’s youngest daughter, and this causes a lot of friction in their relationship. But, we really appreciated how the topic was approached. Ana showed so much understanding and empathy for Vivian’s culture and her sense of duty and family, while also recognizing the parts of her beliefs and values that might need a little reworking.

All together, this was a great read, and one we'd recommend.

First of all I would like to thank the author for the opportunity to have this ARC in exchange for my opinion.

This was my first book that I have read by Ana Huang and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. oUsually when I am reading some romances, I need to skip ahead and see what happens because the story can be a little slow. But with this book, I continued reading without having to do that. Every chapter kept me captivated enough and held my interest.

I also really liked that for a billionaire book, this one seemed more realistic. Both of them came from wealthy backgrounds so it made more sense that they were living in the same type of world.

Overall I thought this book was great and I am already looking forward to her next book in this series.

Honestly I think billionaire/mafia romances are just not for me. I loved Ana Huang's Twisted series, but this one had too many mafia vibes for me to like.

I thought that Vivian was a weak heroine as well giving into her parent's wishes, and it took too long for her to stand up for herself. I did like the enemies-to-lovers aspect and how Dante banded together with Vivian. It gave me some Ravenhood vibes there.

I definitely could see the appeal of this book for fans of Danielle Lori's Made series, but this one just wasn't for me.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first time reading this author and I was excited to receive this ARC since I have heard great things about her books. I thought it was a good love story but was quite predictable. I do love forced marriage tropes and I feel this was done well. I liked the easiness of the relationship between Dante and Vivian once they decided they actually liked each other. That being said I never really felt connected to either main character. Overall, I liked the plot, the trope, and it's fast paced and easy to read.

I will preface by saying I wasn't a big fan of Ana Huang through her Twisted series. I was never able to finish the first three and barely got through the final. But that really changed with this series. The main characters were both easily likeable and the reader understood each of their decisions, no matter how dumb or wrong they were. Thankfully, there wasn't any cringey scenes that I found often in the Twisted series though I'll happily critique over the ice cream scene. I would happily recommend this book to others if they wanted to start Huang's works. Don't start with the Twisted series, this one is one million times better.

I have high expectations from this book as I have read many great reviews from Huang's Twisted series. It's a good love story but I kinda find the plot predictable and I could not really connect with the two.

I recently finished reading "King of Wrath" by Ana Huang, and I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I loved the forced marriage trope that the author expertly wove into the plot. It added a layer of tension and drama that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book.

However, I couldn't help but feel like I've read this type of story before in other Ana Huang books. While her writing style is engaging and easy to read, it does make the plot feel somewhat predictable. That being said, the characters were well-developed and their growth throughout the story was satisfying to watch.

Overall, I would recommend "King of Wrath" to fans of Ana Huang's previous works and to anyone looking for a quick and entertaining read. It may not break new ground in terms of plot, but the author's talent for creating compelling characters and tense situations is still very much present.

4 stars and 2.5 spice!

This was just full of so much tension and angst that it kind of got boring for me. I still really enjoyed the plot and characters but the tension is sometimes a hit or miss.

Ms. Huang builds a beautiful world that really makes you want to dive into the pages. If you're a fan of her Twisted series, this is right up your alley!

Thank you, NetGalley!

While I did enjoy this book it wasn’t my favorite by the author. I didn’t love the whole concept that Dante was being forced to marry Vivian and she didn’t know. I did however, love the witty banter and sexual tension. It’s enemies to lovers, forced proximity marriage of convenience. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Dante’s touch her and you die possessiveness, I thought it was a little much a times. I did like how they both fell in love with each other over time.

Vivian has always done what's been expected of her so when her father tells her she's to be married to Dante Russo she does what she's always done, smiles, and says okay. Dante is a handsome, rich, jerk, and Vivian might kill him before the wedding actually takes place. As time progresses, the two seem to at least be able to tolerate each other. Is it strictly business, or is it developing into something more?

I really enjoyed this book. I liked how Vivian didn't take any crap from Dante. It was an enjoyable read. This was my first book by Ana Huang and I can't wait to read more

I loved this book! I was hesitant going into a new series of Ana Huang's because her twisted series was SOO good, but this exceeded all my expectations! I also love how it tied in with characters from the twisted series.

King of Wrath is an arranged marriage, forced proximity, billionaire, spicy romance book. Dante Russo is blackmailed into marrying Vivian Lau, the enemies daughter. They both aren't happy about the marriage for their own reasons but once stuck together they both start to have a change of heart.

I liked this book a lot and would 1000% recommend this to someone looking for an easy/spicy romance read.

*Thank you to Bloom Books and Netgalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review! *

I was pleasantly surprised by this book! I had tried to read one of Huang's previous novels, Twisted Love, and hadn't really enjoyed it. But this one was so charming and fun. It helped that both main characters felt like real people with struggles who make mistakes. Plus they had great chemistry and it was enjoyable watching their story unfold. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this if you like spicy, modern-day romance.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Scrumptious! I read this book so fast! It was everything that I needed to get out of my current reading slump. The writing, the characters and the plot were all perfect! I’m so excited to read the rest of this series… it’s sensational. I loved both of the main characters and their POV’s. Vivian was strong and worked hard when she didn’t have to, she had strong family values and was so sweet and kind at the same time. Dante was controlling and arrogant, but you get to see the drama and the way he was raised and you understand why he is the way that he is. I love that he melts for Vivian, and all the little moments that the reader gets to see. I thought that Ana Huang’s writing was amazing, it flowed natural like a stream. Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop. I knew where the conflict was going to come from, but I was all here for it! I think that if your into the troupe that you are really going to like it.

Dante Russo is a ruthless, arrogant, and handsome billionaire that never wanted to marry… that is until he is blackmailed into it.
Vivian Lau, jewelry heiress and daughter of his newest enemy is elegant, ambitious, and stunning beautiful. She always knew that her arranged marriage one day would open doors for her family, she just hoped that she would fall in love with her husband. Dante is rude but he is also so sweet to the people he cares about. Will she fall for her soon to be husband? Will Dante be able to get revenge on the family that blackmailed him?

Oh what a delightful mind escape this book turned out to be! I always have a tiny dose of apprehension when there is a lot of hype around an author or a book - I mean it's hard NOT to have certain expectations. This story hit all the right spots for me - if you like a bit of spice in your romance stories (but lean a bit more towards the romance part of things), enemies to lovers, forced proximity, "touch her and I'll kill you" MMCs, all wrapped in a world of wealth and glamour, you will definitely enjoy this one!

Dante is tall, dark, handsome and broody. Vivian is a dutiful daughter of a wealthy family whose dad wants to elevate himself from the status of "new money" by marrying his daughter of to Dante whose family is "old money". These kinds of stories are not about twists and surprises but there is enough intrigue and tension built into King of Wrath to make it engaging. As Kings of Sin is meant to be a series of interconnected standalones I love that characters of future stories were introduced into this one. (already looking forward to Kai and Isabelle's story)

This was a super cute comfort read. I enjoyed every second of getting to know Vivian and Dante, the challenges they faced and the world they inhabit. Travelling internationally at a moments notice is definitely my idea of romance. I found Ana Huang's writing style very engaging and I could easily see myself saving her books as my travel read picks (the kind of books that add an extra layer of relaxation). I am definitely a fan. And I am definitely reading the rest of the series! If you are looking for your next romance read, this one should be at the top of your list.

A big thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Arraigned Billionaire Marriage, Forced Proximity, Blackmail, Enemies to Lovers. This book was right up my alley. I loved the banter between Dante and Vivian. I think that can be steamier that the love scenes to be honest.

This book was 100% enjoyable and I can't wait to continue the series. This is my first read from Anna and I am thankful to her, Bloom Books, and Netgalley for allowing to read this. I will be telling everyone about it.

Whew! I wasn't ready for this one! This series is kicking off with a bang and Ana is an amazing author. I was drawn in with these characters and couldn't get enough of them. Can't wait for the next one!
