Book Review - King of Sloth by Ana Huang

King of Sloth is the 4th installment of the Kings of Sins series by Ana Huang. In this book, we follow Sloane Kensington, founder of Kensington PR firm. As well as well-known party boy Xavier Castillo. Sloane is hired by Alberto Castillo, head of the Castillo family empire, to be the personal publicist of Xavier to protect the family name. Xavier, much to Sloane's and his father's dismay, has no aspirations to have any part in the Castillo Empire. He is content to continue his charming and easy-going lifestyle. That is until he starts to develop an interest in the one person that he should stay away from, his publicist.

Sloane and Xavier are forced to work close to each other after tragedy strikes. Tensions are high and their growing attraction for each other makes it nearly impossible to resist.

I have been a fan of Ana Huang's writing since Twisted Love. I find that her stories are fairly easy to get into and contain the right amount of romance and spice. While you can read each book independently from the others, I would still highly recommend reading the books in the recommended reading order. You will find that each subsequent book will have minor easter eggs from prior books.

Personally, I was incredibly excited to read King of Sloth because I was and still am a big Sloane fan. Sloane is a high-powered, self-made woman whose main priorities are her friends, her youngest sister, and her work. As someone who tends to fixate on work and has the tendency to suppress my emotions - I related to Sloane so much and I was rooting for her throughout the book. I also admired Xavier's growth throughout the series and appreciated that he not only managed to mature from his party boy days, but he did it in a way that was still true to himself.

While I did ultimately enjoy King of Sloth I had a hard time getting through the first 30% -40% of the book. I think one of the main issues was that after reading so many books by Ana Huang and becoming accustomed to the writing style, the changes in this book took some adjusting. Dialog between the characters was different from how her books were previously different, as well as the switching between POV's.

Despite some of the issues within the book I believe that Sloane's and Xavier's story is a great addition to the King of Sin series and worth checking out!
