He had her, he lost her…and he’ll do anything to win her back.

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:
I've been excited to read Ale and Dom's story. In the previous book, you got moments of where the other characters were assuming and wondering but never asked and it built up to a coupld I coulsnt wait to read about.

Ale and Dom have been married for 10 years and their 10 year anniversary is this weekend. With many reminders to Dom to not miss this. Well, like other events, Dom also missed this one. But this was the straw that finally broke Ale.

Off come the rings, bag packed and out the door she went. Dom to comes home and then panics  about her being gone after looking for her.  realizing what he missed, he calls everyone and tries to find her. 

While all this is going on, you get flashbacks into their lives of how they met and got to where theu are now. The early days was such a sweet and loving story to read about them. You really feel for Ale at just how much she gave up for Dom and dealt with all these years. That empire of his really took over his world.

Come hours later, Dom comes to see Ale when she finally caves about where she is at. There, everything changes with one simple word. Divorce.

From then on its been a whirlwind. Divorce, bring Ales business to a real storefront, dating again and just overall trying to navigate this world being single. 

But when Dom shows up on vacation the same time and place as Ale. Its not just trying to get her back, but the first time in forever he left work aside. 

Given time, work and effort put in from Dom to show Ale he can be what she needs. Together they may just find a way back to eachother. 

Their story is one to read and I loved it. Hooked from the first page its got everything you need and will leave you wishing for more Ale and Dom.

She's his opposite in every way...and the greatest temptation he's ever known.

Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos—and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified.

With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can’t afford the distraction she brings.

Isabella is everything he shouldn’t want, but with every look and every touch, he’s tempted to break all his rules…and claim her as his own.

***

Bold, impulsive, and full of life, Isabella Valencia has never met a party she doesn’t like or a man she couldn’t charm...except for Kai Young.

It shouldn’t matter. He’s not her type—the man translates classics into Latin for fun, and his membership at the exclusive club where she bartends means he’s strictly off limits.

But she can’t deny that, beneath his cool exterior, is a man who could make her melt with just a touch.

No matter how hard they try, they can’t resist giving into their forbidden desires.

Even if it costs them everything.

King of Pride is a steamy opposite attract, forbidden billionaire romance. It's book two in the Kings of Sin series but can be read as a standalone.

Contains explicit content and profanity. Recommended for mature readers only.


My Review: I have to admit, I almost gave up on this one...but stick it out, trust me.  

I loved the first book and couldn't wait for the rest of the series. However, the first 15 chapters were pretty slow which made it feel boring for me. 

Isabella is lovely. She is always herself, has all kinds of stories to tell (especially at work), great friends and just written really well. Now if, only she could get that books of hers done already.  

Kai is the opposite. He is quiet, more reserved and well kina boring. He is good at pretty much everything, on his way to become CEO much sooner than he planned. Has weekly scheduled lunches with the guys and so on. Very no nonsense business guy.  

A night out lead to a kiss and then cue the questions and thinking while weeks go by and Kai hasn't shown back up at the club... 

Until Thanksgiving where Kai gives Isa a chance to meet him upstairs and finally they cave. And that's when everything changes and the pace picks up. Kai's jealous at moments makes him sweet, protective and possessive all at once. Isa loves to play on that and drive Kai crazy. These two are wonderful together.  

From Birthdays to Christmas to dates. These two are sweet and certainly know how to be spicy. Everything is go perfectly well....until photos emerged and things took a quick change. 

From job loss to spontaneous getaways. Isa and Kai are made for each other. In the end they'll take the next step in their forever.  

I love this series so far and its certainly one you should have on your TBR.
