King of Pride: from the bestselling author of the Twisted series (Kings of Sin)

Product Information

In totality, I adored this book. I felt seen and represented and in some way, Ana made me fall for a morally white MMC - which is very rare. I can't wait to see more from Ana and this series because this world is just phenomenal!! Kai is reserved, a little stoic, and his favorite thing to do is translate books into Latin. He’s one of the billionaire members of Valhalla Club, where Isabella works as a bartender. She’s loud and fun and everything Kai isn’t. Since the moment they've met, there’s been a simmering attraction between them, but they’ve never done anything about it since Isabella can’t risk losing her job.

Outgoing and ambitious, Jules Ambrose is a former party girl who’s focused on one thing: passing the attorney’s bar exam. One thing that I love about Ana's books is that she writes Asian characters the way they should be written. Flawed but yet so perfect in their own way. She perfectly describes the asian culture and asian families in this. Both the MCs in this book are asian and I loved how similar their culture and families were but yet so different in their own way. The story and all the “twists” if you can even call them that were very predictable. Isabella turning out to be a secret heiress makes the forbidden aspect of Kai and her relationship useless. Her past relationship played no part in the storyline. So basically both her “secrets” were unnecessary and added nothing to the plot.Huang could have focused exclusively on the steaminess between the two, and it would have been a great romance novel on its own. However, character and story are always at the heart of King of Pride . Isabella and Kai banter through intelligent dialogue. There are dramatic plots, although extreme, that unfold with the frenzy of media attention and antagonistic businessmen; they also ensure the story has much more than romance, including corporate dealings and intrigue. Huang juggles all of these different elements and never loses sight of a single one of them. It’s no easy feat, but she does it so well that you might forget you’re reading a romance novel and are instead in a stellar literary mash-up of Crazy Rich Asians (Young’s motherly disapproval, anyone?) and Succession (who will get the power?) . i loved isabella. she was so funny and real - like who hasn’t felt like a directionless orb at one point or another in their adulthood, let’s be real. In ‘King of Pride’ we read the story of Isabella and Kai. Isabella is a wannabe author, and works at the bar of an exclusive club to make her money. When she is not working, Isabella works on her book. But things aren’t going as well as she would have liked. The last thing she needs is to be attracted to Kai. Especially since he is everything she shouldn’t want. He is nothing like her. But there is an attraction between them, both can’t deny.

KING OF GREED's exclusive editions have been revealed! Both come with a bonus letter from me, and the B&N has gold foiling as well. A self-professed travel enthusiast, she loves incorporating beautiful destinations into her stories and will never say no to a good chai latte. They both have walls that they put up in their different ways but they found a space in between them and loved each other's flaws and perfections fiercely. It was beautiful how they fell in love with each other despite having so many things and people against them. I love them so much!

Another bonus which made me love the book even more were the little cameos of certain Twisted characters… it just made me so happy to see them again even if it was only for a short time! I just love and miss them so much!! And we obviously love seeing Dante and Vivian again! These two were so adorable and I love them so so much! I just love interconnected stand-alones!!! I love their banters and how Isa had an apparent fetish for discussing sex in public where Kai could hear her 😭🤣 and how he never make her feel ashamed about it.
