Our Take

King of Wrath is Ana Huang's entry into the billionaire arranged marriage space, and she absolutely nails it. Dante Russo is the kind of hero who makes you understand why the 'cold CEO' trope exists — he's intimidating, powerful, and completely undone by one woman. Vivian Lau is his perfect match: poised, intelligent, and unwilling to be a trophy wife. Their dynamic crackles with tension from the first page. Huang excels at writing the slow shift from hostility to reluctant attraction to full-blown obsession, and the spicy scenes are the payoff readers crave. The supporting cast (setting up future books in the Kings of Sin series) adds depth without stealing focus. The plot around family manipulation and corporate intrigue gives the romance real stakes. This is premium comfort reading — glamorous, steamy, and deeply satisfying.

Started the Kings of Sin series with this and immediately bought all the other books. The grumpy/sunshine dynamic between Dante and Vivian is perfect. He's cold to everyone except her, and watching him fall is so satisfying. The spice is high and well-written. The side characters set up future books without stealing focus. This is premium comfort reading.
