✨ Book Review ✨
King of Greed by Ana Huang (352 pages)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐:
As a book that we all (romance readers) have seen on our timeline, I can finally say that it was worth the hype. I'll get right to the part a lot of us were anxious about, the groveling. My take is that if we were to have more groveling, the book would have to have more pages. Therefore, the groveling was great. Instead of the typical, "we stay away from each other" type of groveling, Ana went another route. She did a mix of things, and I personally loved it. I was just so invested in their story. At any second I had some sort of free time, I was reading this book. Ana Huang's writing style is absolutely perfect in my eyes and I'm having a great time!
- Moving on to the other tropes, I think that the marriage in crisis was well done. I guess the author wanted to include that specific aspect (I won't say what). Many people are saying that its inclusion makes the marriage NOT in crisis anymore and I get it. I, however, think that it's inclusion was what the author had in mind for her book and that's where I leave it. It was well done anyways so I have no complaints.
- Great angst honestly but I low-key wanted Dominic to cry more.
- As a second chance romance, confessions are necessary in my opinion. Ana gives us some really heartwrenching and wholesome ones.
- Lastly, the ending fell a bit flat for me I'm not sure why. Maybe I wanted something grandiose but epilogue got that resolved. Overall, I loved it.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️:
There would have been a disconnect in my opinion if this book got 1 extra page smuttier that what it is. We get a bit of "exes with benefits" type of moments and I liked it. The turmoil was well-written in my opinion, like you could clearly understand why Alessandra resorted to that. Anyways, it was sexy. We get a shower scene and if I live for any smutty scene, it's a shower one.
I feel like I said too much so that's it for this review!
P.S. Disregard all and any negative reviews. I know, I'm a biased reader 🤭 but like seriously just read it for yourself 💛
