King of Greed by Ana Huang
3.75
this definitely could've been rated higher but i got annoyed by some things.
the first half i was obsessed!! and then they decided to be friends with benefits and then they got married again... i much would've preferred a promise to marriage again rather than the wedding again.

this was fun! thrillers are easy to read but still enjoyable, i kept theorising who it would be and didn't expect it to be a double stunt moment

another 'dark romance', i feel like this one didn't have enough plot and enough time for me to care for the characters deeply

i really don't know my stance on dark romance yet, this was my first book into the genre and i can't tell if this is a heavier dark romance or if this is the standard.
there was aspects i liked and aspects i didn't but overall the plot was interesting and made for a good book

honestly, i'm giving this 5 stars!
i've never read a book that spoke about vaginismus so openly, and also so openly about the ideas of virginity (not only in churches but in general life)
the characters grew on me so fast and i liked them so much
