A Love Once Lost
Dominic Davenport is the epitome of success. A self-made billionaire, he has everything: wealth, power, and a beautiful wife. Dark blond hair, navy eyes, a sculpted face set in a semi-permanent pensive expression. It wasn’t a face that smiled easily, but that’s the thing about it -There was no fakeness; if he smiled, he meant it. However, Dominic was never done with work. It was the world’s most demanding mistress.
His insatiable hunger for success has consumed him, driving a wedge between him and Alessandra, his loyal and supportive partner. Alessandra Ferreira was gone, replaced by Alessandra Davenport. Wife, hostess, socialite. Someone defined only by her marriage to the Dominic Davenport. Everything she did for the past decade had been for him, and he didn’t even care enough to call and tell her he’d be late for their fucking ten-year anniversary.
Divorce and Breaking up
Alessandra, once the cornerstone of Dominic’s world, has become a ghost in her own home. When she finally reaches her breaking point, she makes the heart-wrenching decision to leave. As their marriage crumbles, the question arises: can they salvage their love before it’s too late?
Alessandra once wished Dominic to have a mistress so she could have a reason, a solid one, to hate him or to comprehend his actions. At this point I also wished the same, I don’t really know about you but at some points in this book I didn’t really wished for a HEA. I might sound stupid however I love HEAs very much but hate the breakups that lead to it almost same. I really expect for no breakups at all.
(I’m not a big fan of second chance romances, I don’t know why.
That’s why I don’t have much to say in the favor of this book. If I were to recommend someone a book this one will be on the end of the list. But if that person is fan of second chances than it will be third on the list 1. Final offer(I like it because of the mother-daughter relationship mainly) 2.Promises we meant to keep 3.This one it’s Ana Huang’s book after all)
A Second Chance at Love
Dominic confronts the emptiness that has become his life. Heartbroken and desperate, he realizes that he has lost the one person who truly mattered. Realizing the devastating impact of his actions, Dominic is determined to win back Alessandra’s love. King of Greed becomes Dominic’s journey of redemption as he fights to win back Alessandra’s love and rebuild their shattered marriage.
(Why do I feel like this is the reality? No matter how good a relationship is, it always comes to this point without any HEAs as such in books. Dominic once gave himself a hundred paper cuts making origami versions of Ale’s favorite flowers for her birthday just.)
A Deeper Look at Relationships
Dominic and Alessandra are complex and relatable characters. Their journey is marked by vulnerability and growth, making it easy for readers to empathize with their struggles. Dominic faces his demons and learns to prioritize love over material possessions. Huang masterfully portrays the emotional turmoil Dominic experiences as he realizes the true cost of his obsession with success. Meanwhile, Alessandra learns to love herself more and start a small business.
A Satisfying Conclusion
The heart of the story lies in Dominic and Alessandra’s rekindled love. Their journey is filled with raw emotions, heartbreaking revelations, and ultimately, the hope of a second chance. The ending was satisfying and had me at tears. Almost. Even though I wanted a different ending at some places but these guys were meant to be with each other. While it can be enjoyed as a standalone, readers familiar with the previous books will appreciate the connections and character development.
King of Greed is more than just a romance novel; it’s a story about redemption, self-discovery, and the enduring power of love. If you’re looking for a book that will make you laugh, cry, and cheer for the characters, this is it.
So, grab a box of tissues, prepare for an emotional rollercoaster, and let Dominic and Alessandra’s story steal your heart.
