The Kingmaker (All The King's Men, 1)

He walked away from a billion-dollar empire. She's fighting to reclaim what his family helped destroy.

Falling in love was never part of the plan.

Discover the sweeping, slow-burn All the King's Men duet from New York Times bestseller and RITA Award Winner Kennedy Ryan, where two fierce hearts clash in a battle of power, legacy, and longing.

Maxim Cade has money, influence, and power in the oil industry--but he turns his back on it all. When he meets Lennix Hunter, an Indigenous activist risking everything for her land, their worlds collide with breathtaking intensity.

Torn between passion and loyalty, Lennix and Maxim find themselves bound by a forbidden connection neither time nor distance can sever. With lyrical prose and emotional ferocity, The Kingmaker explores what it means to choose justice over comfort, love over safety, and purpose over privilege.

If you crave forbidden love, unforgettable heroines, and romance that leaves a mark, Kennedy Ryan delivers a story reviewers call "dazzling," "unflinching," "powerful," and "a soaring masterpiece."

From the moment Maxim sees Lennix, he knows she's something special. The first time he see her, she's protesting the placement of his father's new pipeline because it's going to run directly through her people's sacred lands. While her being the leader of the protest is merely an inconvenience to Maxim, the bigger problem is that she's only 17. But their meeting that day, will forever alter the course of their lives...

This was my first title by Kennedy Ryan and I really enjoyed it. I loved the conflict that kept you on the edge of your seat AND the spice. Boy does Maxim have a mouth on him... I went back and forth between the e-book and the audio and both were great.

Thank you to NetGalley, Kennedy Ryan and Sourcebooks for this ALC in exchange for my honest review.
