King of Sinners by Nouha Jullienne, Danielle Sarah
3.5
Really liked the overall idea, curious about book 2. Things that didn’t work for me in this one: mmc comment on his mc members talking about sexual exploits, fmc seeing her house was broken into and still going in alone, fmc not giving in for a long time, felt like arguing just to argue.

The overall feel of this Beauty and the Beast retelling was definitely my vibe. Between what happens in the basement, and the little bit of the suspense in the plot line, I was definitely intrigued. These two had quite the journey as well. I loved Archer's backstory, and I'm excited to see how it impacted all the brothers differently throughout the series. I'm always intrigued by characters that are grumpy and kind of mean, but actually can be very sweet to the woman they like. While it took him a while to warm up, there’s just something about "only nice to her" that I just really, really love! I also really loved Annabelle throughout the story. I feel like she was tested on many levels, for many reasons, and she showed up. I thought it was interesting how the authors tied in the different elements of the beauty and beast story into this one. I always find it really fascinating to see how authors do retellings, and I enjoy what they come up with. The whole vibe of this book was just totally on point for my style, which made some of the little cliche parts easier to deal with. I think this story set up a solid foundation for the rest of series. I’m feeling like it's going to get better with each book and I’m really excited about it. I do think that this would be a good introduction to dark romance for contemporary readers, because it’s not too dark. I really loved the set up for the series, and I cannot wait to get to know all the Voss Brothers! Next up is a Rapunzel retelling and I am here for it!
