King of Greed - Ana Huang

 

                                                               (4/5 Stars)

This review is long overdue but I was just re-reading it like, oh 20 times! I've seen some mixed reviews about these books and honestly, I don't know why. It's nothing but swoon-worthy.

If you've read any of the books from the Twisted Series then you know Mr Alex Volkov was the king of grovelling and Ava Chen made sure to make it him do it right (Twisted Love). If you know you know 💙. When I saw people comparing Dom's grovelling to that it seemed a bit rash because well the tropes are completely different and so are the characters. In my opinion, it was done right considering the history they had which Alex and Ava lacked when it came to that scene.

I admired how Alessandra built herself whilst fixing her marriage and it was hilarious how Dom was blonde before Dante and Kai put him in his place and boy did he finally get his tiger stripes at the end. I remember reading about the start of Alessandra’s small business because of course she got help from the purple headed Isabella Valencia. Ever since, I had been so curious about how it would take of mixed in with a bit of anger towards Dominic Davenport who didn’t help her. Like hello? Didn’t you start a business to from rubble? See. Dominic aka Legally Blonde.

The spice was there. The connection was there but dammit the only thing this book failed to do was emphasise more on Alessandra being a bad ass you know what. It could have been explored more however I still can't complain. If it bothered me that much, I wouldn’t be reading it multiple times again. The side story of Dante and Vivian was chefs kiss whilst the tension between the King of Sloth characters had me on gasping for air. Xavier is going to be that character. April couldn’t come any sooner.

I was on the edge of my little book bean bag waiting for Christian Harper to enter the chat. It’s become an unsaid rule that he has to make at least one appearance – no matter how long or short – in the King of Sins book series. He was there profoundly in King of Wrath, sparsely in King of Pride, so seeing Dom change his security company by upgrading to none other than Harper Security was a full circle feeling.

Now, I don’t know why Jules Ambrose was not the divorce lawyer representing Alessandra, but she should have been. I wanted more of Jessica Rabbit and Josh Chen. It was a nice snippet of them but I’ll forever be wondering how the conversation could have taken a turn had the King of Greed stars actually went to get drinks. Alas, it is what it is.

All In all, its a comfort read and I loved it but Kai and Isabella still stole my heart. I have a feeling the new couple are going to take number 1 though. A grumpy girl x a sunshine boy? A publicity and a billionaire who doesn’t want to carry on the family line? Sign me the hell up.

I’m loving the King of Series by Ana Huang as much as I did the Twisted Series. Excited to see the second blonde from all that Ana has written. I can feel it in my bones – this is going to be a good one.

Have you read King of Greed? Did you like it? Also has anyone read the bonus scene? I literary read it, died, came back to life stitched up my pathetic romantic little heart, read it and died again.

Until my next book review, don’t forget to do what I always tell you to but also drop some book recommendations.

Vivian.

Don’t forget to keep reading, because as long as you do, it’s making a struggling authors day that much better. Reach for the starts of success.

Bad Little Bride – Meagan Brandy

  (5/5 stars. The MMC is called Enzo. Exactly) You know, I’ve read about a couple of men called Enzo throughout my time, but none has hit the spot just like Enzo Fikile. Oh. My. God. Meagan didn’t enter 2025 to joke around. She came to serve, and serve she did. This is book number 2 in the Girls of Greyson series. The one prior is Tempting Little Thief , starring Bastian Bishop and Rocklin Revenaw, aka Boston Revenaw’s twin sister, AKA Enzo’s wife! Did we forget about Enzo? We can never do such a crime. Now, we don’t lie on this page, and I’m not going to start today. Unless my poor eyesight read something wrong – highly likely – I was under the misconception that this was a fantasy book. I don’t read stories set in fantasy worlds where wings, fangs, and, most importantly, weird bodily fluids other than blood and something else are explored. I opened this book with one eye, and that eye stayed closed until chapter 2. Then I was all in on Enzo and Boston’s glory. The story st...

God of War - Rina Kent

  (A full 5/5 with no spaces in between) Dark romance authors - please take notes because this is how it's done. At this point, I think there is something morally grey with me because why on earth do I find all red flags on a man green and attractive? Well then Mr. Eli King. You certainly put me into my place. Confession time – this is not my first experience with Rina Kent. I actually purchased the Deception Trilogy. I decided not to read them for a very stupid reason. The number of pages. There were like only scraping 200 and I am not about the short book life. Unless it’s bad – then please be my guest. The less you write, the less I have to suffer. However, now I’m thinking on going back to read it because God of War was that good. I’ve also purchased Blood of My Monster but I won’t be revisiting that. The whole concept is just to long for my liking. These are the time I enjoy Book-Tok. This is from the Legacy of Gods series landing on #6. There are also times– rare ones –...

Twisted Lies - Ana Huang

  (The MMC is called Christian, you tell me the rating) Christian Harper and Stella Alonso aka butterfly. This had that thriller element to it which I so needed. A story featuring stalkers, thriller, betrayal, and love. Spice too, if you’re interested… We have a billionaire tech-genius with an aspiring designer and fashion blogger. It doesn’t get much more gold than that. Remember Harper Security? Well, there’s a whole book on it now. Stella works for a fashion magazine and gets fired from it after attending an event. That event was for Delamonte, whose brand she becomes the face of. Christian Harper owns the apartment complex where Stella and Jules live. In Twisted Hate we see how they basically get it for free because the rent isn’t even rent, especially for a place like that. The only reason he drops it is for Stella, and we find out why later. Well, once Jules leaves to live with Josh, he lets Stella stay at reduced rent on the condition that she waters his plants. This ...
