About this item

**A New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Romance **

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.

King of Wrath is a steamy arranged marriage billionaire romance. It includes explicit content and profanity. Recommended for mature readers only.

"King of Wrath" by Ana Huang is an absolute masterpiece that left me breathless from the first page to the last. This book is nothing short of scintillating, with passion so explosive it practically leaps off the pages. The writing is immersive, drawing you into a world where every emotion is felt deeply, every glance is charged with electricity, and every touch ignites a fire.

Ana Huang's attention to detail is exceptional, bringing each scene vividly to life. The characters are richly developed, their chemistry palpable and intoxicating. The tension between them is masterfully crafted, making the transition from enemies to lovers a deliciously slow burn that is utterly addictive.

"King of Wrath" is not just a book; it's an experience. It's a journey into a world of intense emotions, powerful connections, and undeniable passion. This is a story that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page. Bravo, Ana Huang, for creating such a breathtaking and unforgettable romance.

4.0 out of 5 stars So. Good.
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024
It was so, so, so good. It had a lot of funny, spicy, and wholesome scenes, but I felt like it was all too expected. I love plot twists and surprises, but this book just basically shouted “hey, this is gonna happen.” And no, I don’t think it was bad I just think surprises are a good add. I also prefer awkward times, there were so much awkward things in that book. It was perfect. It was also so suspenseful since there were so many things wrong with their relationship, but they still made their way. My favorite book by Ana. Keep this up!

An absolute read, beautiful and stunning story, filled with angst, tension, sweetness, hotness, fear, love, heartbreak, and happiness. An elegantly written love story that hugs one's heart while reading it and stays there for a long time after.

I actually wasn’t sold on this until about a quarter of the way through the book. It’s got a decent story and good characters. The spice is great and creative. I enjoyed the book.

I found Ana as an author last year and since then I’ve been devouring every book she writes! They’re thrilling, romantic, and exciting to read. I love the interconnected stories and interconnected series. Kings of Sin seems like it is one of the best series I’ve read yet!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ana's tightest book yet!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2022
Woohoo Ana is back baby!! I for one am SO pleased and the only upsetting thing about this experience is that we have to wait until April 2023 for Kai and Isabella's book (just a joke - Ana take all the time you need to write their story!).

I think my favorite parts of this book were Vivian, the tightness of the story, how addicting it was (especially the first half), and how Ana set up this new world while still calling back to the Twisted series.

Vivian is a powerhouse and I never wanted to leave her. She's cool, calm and collected but she will cut to the quick when she needs to. I just love reading about women who are so capable and can advocate for themselves. Some of my favorite scenes in this book were when Vivian was raaaaaaaging at Dante (don't worry, he deserved it) because those scenes felt so earned. Vivian was able to call out the hypocrisy around her and I loved seeing her growth when it came to speaking up against her family.

Ana once again is SO in the pocket when it comes to writing distinctive characters. Vivian, Isabella and Sloane felt very different from the Twisted Girls and Ana writes the nuances between female friendships in your early 20s vs. late 20s brilliantly. It's so refreshing to read female characters who are three-dimensional, flawed, capable, and lovable.

The character development of both Vivian and Dante was well executed. Dante learned to get better with his communication, but it was a gradual and realistic process.

This has to be Ana's tightest book yet. Every scene served a purpose and I could've easily read this book in one sitting. I basically had this book glued to my hands for the first half of it because I could not put it down!

Also, Ana is so good at delivering on what her readers want - it is such a delight. All the Twisted callbacks knocked me out. We got to reread scenes we already read in Twisted, but just from Dante and Vivian's POV. Who ELSE is doing that besides Ana?! And Ana knows the readers are coming for a fun, sexy time and she doesn't disappoint there either.

And the secondary characters in this?! I'm foaming at the mouth to read everyone's love story. Particularly Isabella and Kai (I cannot stress enough how hot Kai is), and Alessandra and Dominic (something tells me Ana is going to destroy the marriage in trouble trope).

Is Dante my favorite book boyfriend ever? Honestly, no. But that's okay!! He is hot, has a lot of passion, is richer than God and is so smitten with Vivian. Personally, I loved the quieter, more domestic moments we got with him and Vivian as opposed to the more grandiose gestures he made.

Ana smashed it once again in my opinion and she's always an auto-buy author for me!!!! A great start to this new series for sure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, but tame
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2024
Spice: ???????????? - scenes not overly detailed, think sweet and passionate. I had such high expectations for this book. I finally got around to reading this. I kept seeing this on Tik Tok and IG, so I finally caved in and read this. The story itself wasn't bad. Very modern romance. The characters are relatable. I found Dante to be more relatable, actually. The story progressed slowly as a slow burn should. It didn't get stale, and it took me through all the feels, but I feel as though the supporting cast doesn't really work with Dante and Vivian. I was told their friends would do anything to support them, but I didn't feel it.
