Book Review: King of Greed (Kings of Sin #3)


King of Greed by Ana Huang


Quote: "I want to know what makes you laugh, what makes you cry, what your dreams look like when you sleep and what keeps you up when you can't. I'll spend however many lifetimes I need to rediscover those parts of you, because you're it for me. In every iteration of every life. Things may have changed since we got married, but you and me? We were always meant for forever."


Blurb: 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 is 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.

Book Review: Archer's Voice


Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan


Quote: "When a thunder-storm comes, I had told him, I'll think of you, not anything other than you. And I always did. Always."


Blurb: I wanted to lose myself in the small town of Pelion, Maine. To forget everything I had left behind. The sound of rain. The blood. The coldness of a gun against my skin. For six months, each breath has been a reminder that I survived- and my dad didn't. I'm almost safe again. But the moment I meet Archer Hale, my entire world tilts on its axis... and never rights itself again. 

Until I trespass into his strange, silent, and isolated world, Archer communicated with no one. Yet in his whiskey-colored eyes, something intangible happens between us. There's so much more to him than just his beauty, his presence, or the way his hands communicate with me. On me. But this town is mired in secrets and betrayals, and Archer is the explosive center of it all. So much passion. And so much hurt. But it's in Archer's silence that we just might find what we need to heal... and to live.
