King of Wrath by Ana Huang

I’m a big fan of believable stories, so it was nice seeing a somewhat realistic or believable version of high society life in New York.

I am also in love with the concept of the male mc’s repersenting different deadly sins. It gives the story a fairytale/fantasy vibe. (Would love one book of the series to not end in a HEA just for the drama though)

This first book of the Kings of Sin series follows Vivian & Dante, as they navigate their arranged (through blackmail) marriage. Vivian is a new money family, who has wealth but lacks status to play in in old money societies. This is evident by Vivians dad being unable to join Valhalla, a club for men that is extremely selective. (Super realistic btw which made it a nice detail) This is also evident through Vivians career as an event planner, there are some events that she does not get selected for because she doesn’t have the right network. (Also super realistic. New York is all about networking.)

Dante comes from old money, and is an extremely efficient businessman, but his younger brother is somewhat of a liability, and therefore a weakness of Dante’s that Vivians father exploits.

Despite how they were brought together, Dante ends up falling for Vivian and her for him. Vivian is down to earth, poised, funny, and thoughtful. Dante is protective, attentive, and also funny. So it’s not surprise that they naturally come together.

Their biggest obstacle is Vivian’s father (I personally would have liked to see them have a longer path to romance/lovingn each other. Maybe some business incomptabilities, or more issues between their ex’s or siblings not liking them for longer periods. I guess I just wanted a longer book) but what I liked alot about this book is that their relationship didn’t cost Vivian her father.

Yes, Vivian and her fathers relationship is strained, but she didn’t have to give up her family which I think was also a really believable conclusion. The author didn’t over dramatize their romance, she actually accurately conveyed the struggles of rich, powerful families without having to destroy a family for a romantic romance to thrive.

At the end of the story, Vivian still had her father but she acknowledges that she isn’t proud of who he has become and has to distance herself to preserve her own happiness. Meanwhile, Dante supports regardless of his own feelings because he loves her and is mature enough to realize loving Vivian is more important than his own feelings of wrath.
