Super cute, paasionate, and full of love šŸ©µ

ā€œJust knowing you existed somewhere in this world was enough.ā€

 I loved Kai and Isabella! I felt their love was so genuine and beautiful. I like that the forbidden aspect of their relationship leads to them having a genuine dating experience. We got to see them fall for one another in the most realistic way possible. Their chemistry šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø! I loved that Kai stood up for Isabella! He is such a man for that šŸ„¹. Iā€™ve read other popular books (I wonā€™t name namesā€¦ iykyk) that the ML fumbles/hurts the FL because the family opposes or thinks differently! Itā€™s such a pet peeve for me when that happens because usually it's never followed up by proper character development. We all need a Kai in our lives šŸ©µ. In the beginning, I did not think that I was going to love him as much as I did. He knows what he wants, knows how to actively listen, is a man of honor, cherishes and respects women, and loves hard!

I loved Isabellaā€™s character and I could relate to her in a lot of ways. I loved that she was unashamedly herself and didnā€™t change for anyone. Her struggles were real and her determination was admirable. Iā€™m happy that things worked out for her even if it seemed hopeless up until the very end. I loved thatā€¦
Kai lost and that Isabella didnā€™t finish in time! Even tho Kai did eventually get the position he seriously deserved it. He didnā€™t stoop low to win and his reaction throughout the entire ordeal was honest and honorable; Isabella not finishing the book when her brother gave her the deadline and going through the emotions, made her grow into a better version of herself. Both of them had great development.
I liked this book a lot! I didnā€™t have anything bad to say about it. It was a Soild read.

A .25 star comes off for Ch 37. UGH. It got better though and I got over it, the situation was redeemed but at the time I was annoyed. 

This was a good next installment in the Kings of Sin series. I enjoyed the opposites of these two very much. Their relationship for the most part was easy going, had a nice flow, and sweet development.

This was such a fun read and a bit of a departure from Huangā€™s typical main characters. Kai and Isabella are complete opposites, but have been completely tied up in one another since they met. But with Kai out to earn his rightful position as CEO at his familyā€™s company and Isabella struggling to find her purpose, their relationship gets muddy. Kai is the softest of the men Iā€™ve read in this universe and I found that to be a welcome change. Isabella is pure chaos and self destruction; lovable yet a tad headache inducing. I really enjoyed the progression of Kai and Isabellaā€™s love story as well as the set up for Dominic and Alessandraā€™s book (and maybe Clarissa and Felix?). One of my favorites from this universe.

I liked the dynamics between the two protagonists, their playful bickering is so cute and funny. As always I really enjoyed the dual perspective, it just mixes things up. Canā€˜t wait for the next one!
