His arms tightened around me. “All that matters is you’re here.”

I love this line because it encapsulates the theme of the novel perfectly. ❤️

Xavier is a billionaire beta who falls first, and Sloane is his no-nonsense publicist who doesn't have time? King of Sloth has all the elements that make me swoon. And oh yes, I swooned big time. Of the Twisted and Kings of Sin series, this novel is the most traditionally romantic, and has the lightest tone. It hits all the beats of a sweet romance.

Xavier is the star of the book, and rightfully so. He is a good man and he loves Sloane for everything she is with honest, open devotion. She is absolutely IT for him, and it's so sexy that he doesn't feel embarrassed or emasculated whatsoever about declaring it to her and to everyone else.

I loved this book, but I didn't love it the way I usually love Ana Huang. There was just something about it that fell short for me, and I'm not sure if I can put my finger on it. I also think it was a bit too long. Maybe it was just too sweet? There wasn't that spark of tension that I've come to expect from Ana's books, and I didn't feel like the stakes were high enough. I wanted there to be more friction of some kind. Xavier might be a bit too good, bordering on one-dimensional for me.

I loved all of the cameos from the other books, especially when we got to see Luca and Alex a couple of times.

This was one my absolute favorite parts because it's Alex and IYKYK 🤣: 

Alex Volkov observed me from the other side of his desk. He radiated displeasure, but he was here, which was a semi-good sign. “I had to postpone a family trip to the zoo to be here, so let’s make this quick,” he said. “You have ten minutes.”

Don't @ me but I didn't particularly enjoy the spicy scenes in this one, especially the one in the restroom. That scene especially felt out of place, like it was added as an afterthought because an editor said that the book needed more heat. I like spice, but it should flow and be interwoven seamlessly as part of the plot and character development, and I don't think that happened in this book.

Overall though, and despite its flaws, I absolutely enjoyed this read and fans of Ana's are not going to be disappointed. I'm very intrigued by Vuk and I am excited to read his story. I also really hope that Ana will write Luca's story.
