I definitely wasn't a fan of Ana Huangs writing and that disappointed me. I wasn't able to get far in this book before the characters were annoying me and I just couldn't force myself to read a book I knew for sure I would not enjoy it. I don't think I'll be trying any more of Anas writing. I know some people love her books but she's just not for me.

Ana Huang is a great author for fast and fiery reads. Her Twisted series and now Kings is a BookTok sensation for a reason. The whole enemy to lovers trope is alive and well in King of Wrath and takes you on a journey that has you rooting for the HEA.

LOVED this book! This was such a fun read and I love forced proximity and marriage of convenience. Vivian was such a strong female MC and I loved that. Ana Huang's books are always fun reads for me.

I love billionaire romances, but unfortunately, this book was unable to pique my interest. I skimmed through to the ending.

Dante and Vivian are swoonworthy! The banter and chemistry had me obsessed with every word. High power billionaire romances have to be done right & this one was perfection. The grumpy sunshine trope between the two made it even better and I loved how Dante always showed his love for Vivian. I always find myself glued to the pages of this authors writing and this was no exception. Definitely recommend!

My first Ana Huang book and I'm an instant fan! This book was so good! I loved the chemistry between Viv and Dante. Arranged marriage and forced proximity books have been done again and again, but The King of Wrath made me believe in their relationship. The steam was perfect and I loved the buildup between the two of them. The payoff was well worth it! There's definitely a formula going on here, a third-act breakup included, but I enjoyed the novel enough to give 4.5 stars

This book had it all… angst, passion and lust. Couldn’t get enough and highly enjoyed this thrilling read.

I just dont think Ana Huang is for me - i enjoyed twisted love but havent loved much of her work since

This was a great read!

We got the billionaire romance, the arranged marriage, the enemies to lovers... all the big hits of a great romance. On top of including tropes we all know and love, it was super well written. I feel like sometimes I struggle to believe the relationships in similar novels because they don't develop realistically. However, Dante and Vivian's relationship felt very genuine. Their journey from strangers to enemies to friends, and ultimately to lovers, was so captivating. I was hooked from page 1 and stayed engaged the whole time.

Thank you so much to Bloom and NetGalley for giving me this arc in exchange for an honest review!

I've started this book multiple times and I keep putting it back down. I think it's just not for me, even though I know MANY people who loved it!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of King of Wrath by Ana Huang.

ah, this was a delight. totally predictable and formulaic? you bet, but I still ate it up. this book was HOT 🌶️🌶️🌶️ once the third act breakup hit it felt like things dragged on longer than they needed to, but overall, this was a fun billionaire enemies to lovers romance that was easy to fly through. I definitely want to continue this series and read more by this author!

I would love to interview Ana on my podcast in April. King of Wrath is such a good series and Ana is an incredible author. She’s written a lot of my favorite fictional crushes.

I’ll be honest and say that I didn’t go into this book with high hopes. The Twisted Series wasn’t my favorite, but I had hopes that aging the characters up would reduce some of the immaturity. I didn’t expect for all four Twisted MMC to be merged into Dante which didn’t work in the slightest. There were a lot of cliches, and I really didn’t find anything original about the story. I had a bit of a gripe with some of the characterization, and I couldn’t see past it at times. Most importantly, I was bored for so much of this story. The only thing that somewhat saved this story was how Dante fought for her at the end which I did find in alignment with his character development.

I decided that I’ll read Kai’s story then DNF the series.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This is the first book, that I've read by Ana Huang, I know that she has a large following and I wanted to see what all of the hype is about. This book was comprised of tropes I typically enjoy: Arranged marriage, Dual POV, Age gap, Forced proximity, etc but it didn't work for me. Personally, I may be in a romance slump but I got tired of reading about these characters pretty quickly. I will probably attempt to read more of her work at another time, maybe this series just isn't for me.

I'm not sure why but this book wasn't my favorites of Ana Huangs novels. I will be continuing the other books in the series though and it was still a great read overall.

I love this book so much! Dante and Vivian are so good together and I love how the journey starts off very rocky at first - Dante is a major jerk in the early chapters but Vivian is not about to let him ruin her life. She continues to work and do what makes her happy and it drives Dante crazy and even jealous. Maybe the enemies daughter is nothing like the enemy, and Dante finds himself unable to resist this incredible young woman.

Its a great enemies to lovers, fake engagement, billionaire romance with lots of spicy moments! Full review on my bookstagram and Goodreads.

is this the most original story out there? no. some elements actually feel a bit recycled from her own previous stories. but is it kind of pick-me-up readers sometimes need to forget about the real world for a little bit? yes, yes it 1000% is.

and its that consistency that will always make me pick up a new AH novel.

Ana Huang is one of my favorite authors and I auto buy all of her books. When this story popped up on NetGalley, I didn't hesitate. Dante and Vivian's story is so well written and I loved it. Some of my favorite parts was when you saw characters from the Twisted series popped up and the scenes that they played out in those books and the overlapping areas of them.

Dante is a ruthless ass sometimes and Vivian is so naively trusting in certain things - but reading the challenges and the heartbreak and the GROVELING that happens in this book is exactly what I need. I can't wait for the other 6 stories to be told!

I always pick up an Ana Huang book when I need a grumpy man who would burn down the world for me.
It took me awhile to pick this one up. I enjoyed the Twisted series and always worry that an author's next series won't hit as well for me, personally.

read this if you like:
- arranged marriage
- opposites attract
- forced proximity

The arranged marriage trope can be hit or miss, and I truly loved this dynamic between Dante and Vivian. Both working under a sense of duty to their families, both resenting the other in different ways. They eventually find some common ground.

I loved getting to have characters who were aged up and actually acted their age. Vivian is 28 and actually acts like a grown woman. She's stuck in this cycle of serving her role in her family, of trying to live up to her parents' expectations, and she highlights this divide between her and Dante in the way they view loyalty within their family hierarchy. Dante's a grumpy little thing and I love that about him. Highly unreasonable most of the time but once he realizes his feelings for Vivian, the man is a goner. I'm excited to see Kai and Isa next!


*I've seen a lot of comparison to AlexAva in reviews, but I found Dante much more likeable than Alex*
