ARC BOOK REVIEW
Title: King’s Revenge
Series: Kings Duet #1
Author: Ruby Wolff
Genre: Mafia Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Dark Romance
Rating: /5
This was my first read by Ruby Wolff (and actually I think it is her debut novel (maybe?)) and I really enjoyed it! It has some fairly typical dark-mafia vibes, but Wolff does a great job of creating a unique story and adding original elements.
This novel is set in London and focuses on Angel, the assumed leader of the Frost family. Angel is actually the middle brother, but he assumes the family head position when his father steps down because he has always been more of a leader than his two brothers. He spends two years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, and now he’s out for revenge on the ones who hurt him.
Our heroine is Alice who is on the run from a different mafia family; a family who will stop at nothing to find her. I really loved Alice’s character. She is spunky, fierce, and headstrong. She knows how to take are of herself even though, and probably because, she’s been running and hiding for most of her life.
The dynamic between Angel and Alice is so fiery! I love their push and pull and their banter. Alice is not a roll-over and take orders kind of lady, even for the Mafia King of London. And Angel isn’t used to people not heeding his commands.
This novel does end in a heck of a cliffy, but as a duet, that is to be expected… I can’t wait to start book 2, though, The Fall and Rise of King!
Happy reading!
*First time reading author
*KU read
So for the first time reading Ruby Wolff I have to say I was intrigued by her characters and fantasy land. It did take me a bit to get into the book. I did leave this book to read another book and come back to this one. I do not like to do this, but I wanted to give this story another chance. I am so happy that I did. Once the story started going I was really into the book and the book started flowing.
I am hoping to see some questions answered and that Ruby keeps the story flowing in the next book and we don’t fall back into the “what is going on”, moments that I was getting at the beginning of this book.
If you are in need of an action packed, mysterious, steamy hot, witty, unpredictable book this is for you, the book since chapter one had me wondering in the unknown of what will happen next, every characters gives something to the book making it a wonderful read that you will love, our main characters are out of this world and you will want more of them, can wait for the next book in this series.
Kings Revenge (Kings Duet Book 1) – by Ruby Wolff
I love a great dark mafia love story. Kings Revenge falls into this category for me. Ruby Wolff is a new author to me, so you always go in wondering. In this case though she had me from the first line in Chapter One – “17520 hours. That tells you one thing, someone is either being held captive or in jail. Bang! I’m in!
Angel Frost was the front man for his mob “family”. So when he took the rap for one of his brothers and ended up spending two years in prison, he kept track of everything. Hours, days, weeks and months and he kept track of all the beatings and other torture that guards meted out to him.
Angel will get his revenge.
Alice works in the bar/club his family owns, she works behind the bar serving drinks and it didn’t take Angel long to see her, then want her and finally claim her. Alice however, isn’t just another ordinary beautiful woman she has secrets as well. Her secrets could get her killed.
Ruby Wolff does not let the reader down, there is continual action, and there is an abundance of sexual tension between Angel and Alice. Although this story does allow Angel to work on getting his revenge, it has a lot of family moments, between Angel and his family and Alice and her family. Wolff at the right time in the story had a touching scene between Alice and her Uncle over a face time call, he is checking to see she is ok, and before ending the call gives his fingers a kiss then blows it to her as he has done since she was a child. It’s scenes like this that allow the reader to invest himself or herself fully in this story. It’s human, and readers can relate. Love that kind of thing because it gives me even more of an investment in what may be coming.
Obviously this is a duet series, so there is a part two and once you read this book you can see why this had to become a duet, there is so much more to come. So Ruby Wolff, 5 stars I am really looking forward to book 2 Fall and Rise of the King.
This book will pull you in right from the start and have you wanting more and more.
Alice and Angel will have your heart racing, pulse pounding with their back and forth action packed emotional read with so many twists and turns you won’t be able to put it down. So can’t wait for the next one
I went into this story blinded and was in aww of how it grabbed me from the very beginning to the very ending. I read this book in one sitting because I was hooked. This is a fast pace steamy hot alpha men that is a take charge and handles everything smoothy. I have no words on how to explain the hotness of the sex scenes and the feel of the words coming off the pages..
What a great book! It is full of action with a sexy, hot alpha and a sassy woman to keep him on his toes! The story has many twists and turns and I can’t wait for book 2!
Amazing awesome and definitely a must read!

Wow… King’s Revenge is an enthralling read. It’s full of suspense and action with a good bit of romance too. Angel and Alice complement each other. Alice has a heartbreaking past that she’s trying to escape but it seems like it might be catching up with her. Alice is not week though and is ready to put up a fight if she has to. Angel is a man who’s name strikes fear in others but under the cold exterior is a loving man who’s fighting some demons of his own. The two draw comfort and strength from each other but will they be able to protect each other? When their enemies come knocking the casualties start racking up and it’s uncertain who will make it out alive. Their story ends in masterful cliffhanger. I dying to find out what’s going to happen next.
Wow.
What a way to start a series.
I was gripped from cover to cover.
So much happens in this book that you won’t be able to look away.
The words within the pages and characters portrayed are so addictive, you’ll feel like you are right there beside them.
Cannot wait for book two!!!
I took a chance on this one as it is a new author to me. I am so glad that I did. It was an intense interesting thrilling action packed book from beginning to end. I do have to say that the end was shocking and upsetting as I did not realize it was a cliff hanger.
Angel is both the devil and an angel. He has been in prison for quite some time. He is now out and seeking revenge against those that have done his family wrong. But little does he realize his family is in more trouble than he thinks. The bar that he owns and runs is where he meets the girl that will change everything for him. Alice is quite the woman. She is feisty and wont take anyone’s crap. She does not know what to think about Angel but quickly falls for him. But Alice is in danger which brings down more trouble for Angel. Will these two make it out alive? Who will survive and who wont? I absolutely loved this storyline. It had me hooked from the very beginning to the very end. Ruby did an amazing job with this one. I cant wait to read the next one and find out what happens. Ruby has gained a fan of her work. I highly recommend this one.
