Not my favorite of the series. Alessandra files for divorce after her husband Dominic works through their 10th anniversary. When he's finally hit with reality, Dom realizes his wife has been unhappy for years, and this is a surprise only to him. As he struggles to win Alessandra back and find a work/life balance to prove to his now ex-wife she really does matter to him, his foster brother Roman appears after decades of no contact that began when Roman was arrested as a teen. While Dom and Alessandra do love each other and can't keep away, like his friends in the first two books, Dom can't take no for an answer. The main difference in this one is that Alé spends much of the book trying to find herself outside her marriage.

Unfortunately, it really feels like at the end of the book, she just goes back. Dom is much more conciencious of his own habits, but Alessandra never really finds herself outside of him which wws disappointing

This was a strong redemption arc like any good second chance romance and the pain of the early chapters really hit me in my feels. But there just wasn't enough depth to Dom's backstory and why they let it get as bad as it did in the beginning. The secondary character arc felt unnecessary to me.

Another good installment in the Kings of Sin series. I thought this second chance romance was done well. I do wish there was a little more groveling. Also if a girl says she needs some space she needs SPACE. This book did pull on the heart strings.

I thought the flashbacks to their relationship over the years was done well. The moments weren't long where you got bored but snippets to get to the point.

People are upset that Dom wasn’t groveling as much but to me it was the perfect amount plus I love seeing a man so in love with his wife that he can’t live his life once she leaves. He went out with his brother, Roman, who tried to kill Dom for trying to buy a bank, and drunk his sorrows away all because Ále lied to Dom that she would be on a date just so she won’t get back with him. If I was Ále the second Dom send me the thousands flowers I would’ve gotten back with him. IM WEAK COMPARED TO ÁLE!!! Dom even went to Brazil just cause Dante let it slip that Ále was going there and no one knows when she would come back. I also didn’t mind reading Ále becoming her own person after the divorce cause it shows the side of relationships where the person loses themselves in order for their partner to shine and it was amazing I loved reading it I didn’t even care if Dom wasn’t in the chapter I was genuinely enjoying this story. I loved reading small memories like their first date, their first meeting, etc. I loved every moment I sobbed reading them. I cried reading Dom’s backstory and why he became a work alcoholic but I loved seeing him change just for Ále. I LOVED IT!!!! I also enjoyed reading about Dominic’s dyslexia and how Ále handle it cause her little brother is the same as Dom and instead of judging him she helped Dom pass his English class so he can graduate it was a cute scene.

The spice scenes. What can I say about them? Steamy. Hot. Blushing worthy. Thank god I read this at home cause I would be red like a tomato if I read this out and about. Dominic is a hot sexy man who has a dirty mouth but still begged for Ále to stay with him, even let him take her out on a date, or even asking Ále to let him pursue her again it was EXCELLENT!!! I loved King of Greed more than King of Pride I haven’t read King of Wrath yet but I plan on doing so.

I would recommend this book to people, yes, I’ll cry doing so if I’m being honest. PLEASE READ THE BOOK!!!!!! The only thing I am disappointed about was the ending for Roman we don’t know what happened to him after the contract was leaked and I wished to know but overall I love this book too much to even take a quarter point off the rating.
