King of Wrath Review
It was full of drama and romance. The story is about Vivian, a modern woman who ends up in an arranged engagement with Dante, a guy known for his tough reputation. At first, they’re both not too thrilled about it, but as they live together, they start to develop feelings for each other. However, there’s a big problem looming over their relationship.
I really liked how the author built up the tension between Vivian and Dante, and their slow burn romance was captivating. The story had some darker elements, which added depth without being too heavy. I also appreciated the introduction of side characters whose stories I’d be interested to read in future books.
The writing style was immersive and easy to get into. The dynamic between Vivian and Dante was electric, with lots of chemistry and steamy moments. My only gripe was the frequent time jumps, which sometimes interrupted the flow of the story.
Overall, it was a quick and enjoyable read with a satisfying ending. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from this author! (Official Website: King Of Wrath)
