King of Wrath (King of Sins #1)
If you're looking for that perfect enemies-to-lovers scenario with all the corporate intrigue and steamy tension you could want, this book definitely delivers.
Let me tell you about Dante Russo who’s the definition of a swoon-worthy anti-hero. He's giving us all that cold, calculating CEO energy with walls a mile high, and watching those barriers crumble when Vivian enters his life? Pure satisfaction! The man never planned to marry until blackmail forces his hand, and his initial coldness toward Vivian had me gripping my kindle like, "Sir, you better recognize the gem you've got!"
And Vivian? I adore how she balances elegance with inner strength. She enters this arrangement for her family's social climbing needs, but she's not some doormat character waiting to be saved. The way she navigates Dante's world while maintaining her identity made me cheer for her throughout the story.
The chemistry between these two? Explosive. The slow-burn tension that builds as they move from reluctant fiancés to something much more intense had me fanning myself more than once! Their journey from cold business arrangement to genuine connection feels earned rather than rushed.
What I particularly loved was how both characters grow throughout the story. Dante's journey from control-obsessed CEO to a man who can actually open his heart feels authentic, while Vivian's evolution from dutiful daughter to a woman embracing her own desires is equally compelling.
Perfect for fans of arranged marriages, billionaire romances, and characters with depth beyond their tropes. This first book in Huang's Kings of Sin series promises more drama to come!
Rating: 5/5 Crowns✨
