King of Sloth
Synopsis
Xavier Castillo is a charming, easygoing heir with no interest in running the family empire that everyone expects him to inherit. Sloane Kensington is the sharp, ambitious publicist hired to manage him, cool, exacting, and immune to the charm that works on everyone else.
When tragedy forces Xavier to step up, the two are thrown together, and his lazy facade gives way to the guilt and fear of failure he has spent years avoiding, including the blame he carries for his mother's death.
The fourth Kings of Sin book flips the usual dynamic with a sunshine hero and a guarded heroine, embodying the sin of sloth as a story about a man finally confronting what he has been running from. A standalone in Ana Huang's shared universe, it became a number one New York Times bestseller.

- <div>I really try to push through and finish with this one. But I just feel so bored on where this book was going.<br><br>Maybe I’ll come back to it… in like a year again 😂</div>
- I love ana huang’s writing style and i’ve read both the kings of sin and the twisted series and had nothing to say against any book of hers except this one .. i feel like it was a bit rushed ngl they started dating immediately and it had me looking at the rest of the book like “okay what next ?” It’s not a roller coster romance per se but it’s also not the butterfly giving one 👌
- 4 stars Male Lead: Xavier Castillo Female Lead: Sloane Kensington Solid 4 stars. I thought I'd loved this book more than KOW but no. It was really good at the beginning and the middle of it but then, I felt like it was just basic book. Anyway, I loved Sloane so much. She's my no. 1 fav fem lead.
