I do notttttttt know how to feel about that ending. It felt so unfinished to me! The main plot of the book is, of course, the marriage of Dom and Alé. But from all the other books from this author, I know there's always a secondary plot that adds suspense and tension to the main conflict. King of Greed does have one...however it was so lackluster I question the creative decision to include it. I thought Roman was the villain trying to take down Dom's empire for revenge. Then I thought no, he's just a part of Dom's past that he needs to make peace with. Then he really did turn out to be a villain, just not the main one. And then he completely disappears! Dom sort of hears from him one last time before he goes ghost and then, that's just it! There's no resolution. Who hired Roman to kill Dom? Where the heck is Roman now? If my assumption is correct and Roman will get his own book to iron out these issues, then fine. I can deal with not knowing the answers for now. But why is his book not next in the series? That's what I can't understand.
Anyway, I really did love this book! If it's one trope that's gonna do it for me, it's always going to be second chance/marriage in trouble! Alessandra is definitely my favorite heroine from this series, she's strong, deeply empathetic, smart and kind and so deserving of all the love. Dominic is a fool for neglecting the relationship for ten freaking years, but he proved he was worthy of a second chance. It takes a lot of strength to put yourself out there and apologize over and over again for the small chance of rekindling your relationship. I admired his gumption! I still think he should've retired as CEO to really solidify his commitment to Alé.
From the small glimpses of Sloane and Xavier that we got, I am toooooooo hype for book number four!! It's giving Wrecked by Lauren Asher vibes and I am HERE for it!
