The king maker kennedy ryan6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() Her passionate heart and compassion for others comes out in her writing and we as readers are always better for it. I was on the edge of my seat until the very last page and am now convinced that Ryan can not write a bad story. This story was so emotional, riveting and gripping. Overall, I am in awe of this story and this author's immeasurable talent. I loved every word of this story and truly can't wait until The Rebel King. The Kingmaker made me swoon and melt but also made me hold my breath when all seemed lost. I loved their passion for one another and how their love and connection felt like it was a once in a lifetime kind of love that came right off the pages. With every look and touch between them, I felt every chill and shiver. I loved them separately, but together they took my breath away. Their steadfast dedication to their passions and convictions were awe-inspiring. I fell in love with Maxim Cade and Lennix Hunter at first sight and knew that they were both powerful forces to be reckoned with. ![]() Without giving away ANY spoilers, just know that like in every Kennedy Ryan book, I was spellbound from the very first page. This novel was truly magnificent and is a gamechanger to be reckoned with! Their story was so powerful and heartfelt that I felt every word straight down to my core. The Kingmaker was absolutely incredible!! Maxim and Lennix were pure fiery intensity. AHHHH!!! You guys!! Kennedy Ryan just dropped the boom mic heard 'round the world. ![]()
