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. And she looked so damn beautiful it made my heart stop for a second, just long enough to confirm she owned every beat.” spoiler par.) theres a bit of forbidden, workplace romance situation because Isa bartends in a club that Kai is a member of, and it only lasts for a second because Isa ends up getting fired. then theres the fact that Kais mother sets him up on a date with a childhood friend, which he accepts cause Isa ENCOURAGES it and they know its only pretend. 💀 i mean, everything just felt sooo... low stakes even when the circumstances had the potential to be more juicy & damaging. i just needed more chaos. like in King of Wrath, at least you have the enemies to lovers dynamic, arranged marriage, and revenge plotline even though its not well executed. Kai is in the race to become the CEO of his family business. All he has been doing for years is work and making sure that everything goes the way he plans. Kai never loses, and he is used to getting everything he wants. And the last thing he should want is Isabella, the waitress with the purple hair. But he can’t seem to stay away from her, even though he really tries.

Isabella was a truly unique character with a personality that was equal parts sassy, charming, and witty. I loved her sassiness and her willingness to speak her mind, even if it meant ruffling a few feathers. However, despite her confident exterior, she had her insecurities, which often affected her deeply. Overall, Isabella was a complex character that I loved for her flaws and all, and her sassy, charming, and witty personality always kept me engaged and entertained. 💜 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. Honestly Isabella kind of gave me Jules Ambrose vibes with her sassy , carefree and nonchalant attitude. I loved how ana not only showed her joyful side but she also portrayed her insecurities and fears so well. Isabella was portrayed as such a strong character with her own flaws. I legit loved her witty and joyful personality alot.

King of Pride Romance Tropes But she can't deny that, beneath his cool exterior, is a man who could make her melt with just a touch. Ana Huang never disappoints istg. This was literally my most anticipated read of the month and it was EVERYTHING!! She literally put her all into this book and I‘m not kidding when I say that Kai and Isa are so far my favourite couple by hers (besides Bridget and Rhy ofc)! They‘re just too good to be true, literally perfection if you ask me!!If I’d said anything, you would’ve tried to stop me.” Kai gave a small shake of his head. “Perhaps I overstepped by sending it [Isas manuscript] to Jill [a literary agent] without consulting you, but I didn’t want you agonizing over it. Your story is good, whether she accepted it or not.” King of Pride follows Kai Young and Isabella Valencia’s love story. This book is different from other books in the King of Sin and Twisted series because although Kai is a billionaire who will soon inherit an empire, he is not your typical morally-grey men. Instead, Kai is quiet and shy. The Muktikā Upanishad’s list of 108 Upanishads groups the first 13 as mukhya, 21 as Sāmānya Vedānta, 20 as Sannyāsa, 14 as Vaishnava, 12 as Shaiva, 8 as Shakta, and 20 as Yoga. The 108 Upanishads as recorded in the Muktikā are shown in the table below. The mukhya Upanishads... now hear me out h0es - miss ana always delivers on the spice, but this one was really about the steam and tension and i loved every second of it. The ending was perfect and beautiful and I'm glad that their families are accepting them as well. I'm so happy that Kai and Isa found each other and worked their differences and fell in love.

I’m never going to stop being me, Kai, and I don’t want you to stop being you. So how can we be together when we belong to separate worlds?” The story and all the “twists” if you can even call them that were very predictable. Isabella turning out to be a secret heiress makes the forbidden aspect of Kai and her relationship useless. Her past relationship played no part in the storyline. So basically both her “secrets” were unnecessary and added nothing to the plot. Although they’re both intrigued by each other, it is forbidden for the staff of this exclusive club to date customers. Plus, Kai, a soon-to-be CEO cannot be seen dating someone below his status. Is King of Pride A Spicy Book? Omg and isa older brother gabreil? I know this man getting a book. I just FEEL IT. he is so zaddy. 😮‍💨😍🥵😫Also, the reason for my 3-star rating is because I liked Isa & Kai as individual characters. The story and all was meh- okay. i’d take crazy & OTT over this boring shit. i couldnt even enjoy Kais British accent cause the audiobook hasnt been released yet. 😭 Regardless of how much it costs. King of Pride is a steamy love story that takes place between two wealthy men who couldn’t be more different from one another. This book can be enjoyed on its own, despite the fact that it is the second installment of the Kings of Sin series. King of Pride has an age rating of 18+ and is generally recommended for a mature audience due to profanity, mild violence and romance scenes. Who Are The Main Characters in King of Pride? I liked this book and loved both Kai & Isa as characters but I was more interested in the side characters. I enjoyed the book but half of the time I was wondering about the others. Maybe I’ll give it a 5-star rating someday. I still think I got a lil bit generous 😭 I liked King Of Wrath more than this book because it had some angst and groveling in it. I live for this shit. But the relationship was healthy & ✨Perfect✨, hence no groveling hehe.

I’m being very harsh but this book was mediocre at best so I can’t help it. Even the smut was underwhelming. Not only was the romance perfect, so were the two leads!! The way I related to both Kai and Isabella in so many different ways made me fall in love with both of them even more!! Even though she may make an effort to deny it, she is aware that beneath his chilly demeanour lies a guy who has the power to seduce her with his touch. They make a valiant effort not to give in to their embarrassing urges, but in the end, they are unsuccessful. Isabella is even more fascinating to me because she has her own hopes and dreams which pit her against the rest of her family—or, at least, her eldest brother. With mounting pressure from all sides and a scandal brewing, she has to decide who she wants to be and whether she’ll put her foot down for the career—and the man—she truly wants. Though this is a billionaire romance, there is little emphasis put on the power imbalance between these two characters, which I found as refreshing in this book as I did in King of Wrath. There is so much more going on in their lives that it’s nice it didn’t just come down to Kai throwing his money around to impress Isabella.

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.
