from goodreads:
Powerful, brilliant, and ambitious, Dominic Davenport clawed his way up from nothing to become the King of Wall Street.
He has everything—a beautiful home, a beautiful wife, and more money than he could spend in a lifetime. But no matter how much he accumulates, he’s never satisfied.
In his endless quest for more, he drives away the only person who saw him as enough.
It isn’t until she’s gone that he realizes there may be more to life than riches and glory…but by then, it may be too late.
***
Kind, intelligent, and thoughtful, Alessandra Davenport has played the role of trophy wife for years.
She stood by her husband while he built an empire, but now that they’ve reached the top, she realizes he’s no longer the man she fell for.
When it becomes clear that she’ll always come second to his work, she finally takes charge of her life and puts herself first—even if it means leaving the only man she’s ever loved.
But what she didn’t count on was his refusal to let her go…or for him to fight for their marriage, no matter what it takes.
King of Greed is a steamy marriage in trouble/second chance romance. It's book three in the Kings of Sin series but can be read as a standalone.
my review:
ANA HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!! i still haven’t found a book that i’ve actually hated from ana but this kings of sin series is chefs kiss!! i think this might be my favorite king book so far, who knows ana may change my mind with the next one. not your typical he falls first ana huang story but loved it nonetheless, maybe even more. to be honest this is probably the first book that i LOVED both characters. usually the men are my go to but i cannot choose a favorite here.
dom oh dom. i hated you for your detachment but boy did i fall in love with you!!! greedy in so many ways, money, spice, & love. he would stop at absolutely NOTHING
until he got the girl he wanted!!! these billionaires always have a tragic story that turn them into the assholes that they are, ones that only have a soft spot for their woman and dom’s was not apparent and i hated him for it, until that was the thing that BROKE him. he had everything until the one thing that he truly needed was gone!ale, alessandra. i love you girl. the string businesswoman who wore her heart on her sleeve but also wasn’t scared to stick up for herself. you’re the headstrong woman that everyone wants to be. you had a soft spot for YOUR man and i get it. i loved the puppet strings you KNEW you had control over. you kicked ass for sticking up for yourself and your feelings and did it with grace. you not only made yourself successful but you made that man successful and deserve all the praise for it.
the cameos were my favorite. i literally love all cameos in the books because it pulls the whole world of billionaires together. i literally jumped for joy when i read about these people and knew who they were INSTANTLY. i’m definitely an ana huang stan.
i could keep going all night, i definitely loved this book more than expected. one of my friends read it and said she didn’t know how to feel but even before half way through i was hooked, i didn’t want it to end. i always get so sad when it ends because i want to know what happens next. i wanna know all the details of their lives and what happens to everyone, i feel like everything is always so unfinished but so great at the same time. definitely a great read!! keep kicking ass ana huang
