I'll acknowledge up front that second-chance romances are not one of my preferred tropes. That being said, King of Greed by Ana Huang was not my favorite book in the Kings of Sin series. Out of the three books released, King of Greed is my least favorite; however, I enjoy it more than other Ana Huang books (Twisted Love).
I really enjoyed Ale and Dom's college relationships. The scenes were sweet, and I wish the reader had a more streamlined storyline of their first relationship rather than small snips. I would have liked this book more if the first half was about their relationship in college and the second half was about them fixing it in the present day. That would have made me more invested.
The ending of this book was odd. The banking storyline was not fleshed out enough, so while the ending felt predictable, it was underdeveloped. While Huang uses it to set up future characters, she could have cut most of it.
Overall, the book was an easy read that I finished in a matter of hours, but it won't be one I pick up over and over again. I am looking forward to Sloane's story.
