My summary:
Sloane Kensington has built up her PR firm over the last six years through pure grit and grace. Determined to make her own name for herself after being estranged from her family, she has had to become tough and resilient and has buried herself in her work. But her most difficult client, Xavier Castillo, loves nothing more than to rile her up as often as possible. It’s been three years since Sloane was hired by Xavier’s father, the richest man in Columbia, to keep the family reputation pristine despite Xavier’s party boy lifestyle. But when his father becomes terminally ill, Xavier must face his future and choose between his inheritance or his party lifestyle. The impossible soon seems possible for Xavier with Sloane by his side as a support he’s never had before. And Sloane, who never gets emotionally affected, soon finds herself drawn to Xavier as she sees there’s more to him than just his past antics. 

My thoughts: 
Sloane and Xavier have my heart. I really enjoyed this and, so far, it’s my favorite of Ana Huang’s Kings of Sin series. This is an overall sweet romance with a few spicy scenes.

I enjoyed the character development of Xavier and my heart just broke for his backstory. And I’ve also really enjoyed seeing Ana Huang’s writing evolve through her books and if this one is any indication, each one to come will just keep getting better and better. 

Ahhhhhh! So many cameos of the Twisted characters and other Kings of Sin characters! I love it. I saw another review that referred to it as the Marvel Infinity War of the Ana Huang-verse, and that’s quite accurate. I hope the Twisted characters keep popping up in the books to come in this series! 

This is the fourth of what will be a total of seven books in the Kings of Sin series. I am excited to see Vuk and Ayana’s story in the next book. Also, make sure you get the bonus scene from this book through Ana Huang’s newsletter!
