Reviews with content warning for Blood - King of Wrath

I read way too fast I started this at work at 10ish and it’s 8:30pm and I did a good amount of other things today… this book is meant to be DEVOURED it was so good. I love myself a groveling male love interest and a woman finally demanding and creating boundaries. Also, Vivian and Dante are cute together. Very good story Lmao.

I loved the vibe of the book I did kinda burn out toward the end but we powered through. My favorite scene is when they’re in the Vahalla club together and inattentively fall in love with each other. I didn’t like how she wouldn’t move in with him at the end, like I understand why but I still just wish she sucked it up. Hands together for Edward and Greta for carrying the book🙌🏻.

King of Wrath- 2.5⭐️3.5🌶️

She’s the wife he never wanted . . . and the weakness he never saw coming.

Ruthless. Meticulous. Arrogant. Dante Russo thrives on control, both personally and professionally.

The billionaire CEO never planned to marry – until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows: Vivian Lau, jewellery heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. It doesn’t matter how beautiful or charming she is. He’ll do everything in his power to destroy the evidence and their betrothal.

There’s only one problem: now that he has her . . . he can’t bring himself to let her go.

***

Elegant. Ambitious. Well-mannered. Vivian Lau is the perfect daughter and her family’s ticket into the highest echelons of high society.

Marrying a blue-blooded Russo means opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to her new-money family. While the rude, elusive Dante isn’t her idea of a dream partner, she agrees to their arranged marriage out of duty. Craving his touch was never part of the plan.

Neither was the worst thing she could possibly do: fall in love with her future husband.

✨My Opinion✨

This is a Bloom Books publication release. I have not read any of the Kings of Sin or Twisted series.

Dual POV

Arranged marriage

Forced proximity

fake fiancé

dislike to lovers

billionaire romance

Miscommunication

It was a little too heavy on the grumpy with the grumpy/sunshine for me. But it was a fun read. Not the most amazing, but not absolutely terrible.

The MMC has a decent backstory, but didn’t see it played out quite as well as it could have been. I never quite understood what he did for a living or how it was important or how it gave him access to beat people in police holding cells…

The FMC was a little lacking in much other than family loyalty and her friends. She lacked the sparkle that explained how she brought the MMC out of his shell other than proximity…

There were a few moments of good tension. Things were great in the beginning… but it tapered off and didn’t retain its intensity through each relationship development.

*Thank you Bloom Books and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
