REVIEW + EXCERPT: The King Maker

REVIEW + EXCERPT: The King MakerThe King Maker by Kennedy Ryan
Series: All The King's Men #1
October 28, 2019
Amazon


Ambition. Passion. Betrayal.

Raised to rule, bred to lead and weaned on a diet of ruthless ambition.

In a world of haves and have nots, my family has it all, and I want nothing to do with it.

My path takes me far from home and paints me as the black sheep. At odds with my father, I'm determined to build my own empire. I have rules, but Lennix Hunter is the exception to every one of them. From the moment we meet, something sparks between us. But my family stole from hers and my father is the man she hates most. I lied to have her, and will do anything to keep her. Though she tries to hate me, too, the inexorable pull between us will not be denied.

And neither will I.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

 

REVIEW


Holy crap! This book… this book… I can’t. I don’t even know if I can find the word for this book. I’m going to try but I literally am ripped to shreds right now.

The girl who chased stars… We meet Maxim and Lennix when they’re young and full of ideas. They’re passionate about the people they want to become and the changes they want to make in the world. Seriously – these characters are going to inspire you. They are going to make you question what you’ve done with your own life. They’re going to make you take a second and wonder what you can do to better this world we live in.

I read The King Maker within the time frame of 24 hours and I was completely ripped apart and put back together again MULTIPLE TIMES by these amazing characters Kennedy Ryan created! She put these characters through SO MUCH! My heart could not handle everything she threw at them! SO MUCH! It was such a delicious sweet burn when these characters connected but oh the heart-ache and misery you will go through with them on this journey…

And we’re only halfway there. This ia duet and the second book, The Rebel King, comes out in a couple of weeks. I seriously don’t know if I can survive anymore. HOW MUCH MORE CAN THESE CHARACTERS TAKE!? I say this, but please know I’ll be staying up all night as soon as The Rebel King hits my kindle.

I need to know what happens to Lennix and Maxim. You will too. These are characters that are going to stay with you for a long time after.

Be prepared for the biggest book hangover you’ve ever had.

 

EXCERPT


“What do you want?”

The look he pours over me is hot oil, burning me even through serviceable layers of cotton. His heated perusal caresses my face, sluices over my breasts and hips, and then pools at my feet.

“Oh, that you won’t ever get again,” I say, my voice a soft, certain promise. “I don’t screw liars. I’m particular that way.”

“Never say never,” he drawls, tilting up my chin with his finger.

“Nev–”

He crushes the word between our mouths. It falls apart in the scorching, sweet tangle of lips and teeth. With one hand, he digs his fingers into my hair. The other splays across my lower back, his grip on me almost convulsive, urging me up and closer. I’m in stasis. I’m completely startled by the kiss, unable to respond. I send a desperate message to my brain.

            Move. Pull back. Push him away.

But the urgent glide of his hand down my spine to cup my ass melts my thoughts to liquid and they swim in my head. I can’t pull back, and all hope of resistance dissolves when he presses his thumb to my chin, prying me open. He stalks my tongue, hunts down a response, licking and sucking and groaning and growling. His hands tighten on me until I strain up to seek him, yanking his hair, pulling him even closer.

“Dammit, Nix,” he mutters between kisses. His hand wanders down my neck and across my shoulder, and cups my breast, twisting the nipple through flimsy barriers of cotton and lace. He shoves up my skirt, pulling my legs wider, and pushes my panties aside, his fingers invading me. My body remembers this mad craving that claws out of my bones—that wants out. That wants him. Under his rough touch, my body blooms and my hips rock.

“That’s it,” he says, taking my earlobe between his lips.

My head falls back and I moan. It’s so damn good. His touch awakens me. His hands, his kisses bring me to life. It feels like I’m taking my first deep breath since we were last together, and it fills my lungs, seeps into my pores.

“I missed you,” he says, sucking my lips and kissing the corners, quick, hungry. “I’m sorry. Baby, I—”

“Stop talking.” I reach between us to loosen his belt, catching his zipper and dragging it down, dragging him out. “Shut up.”

REVIEW: Small Town, Big Magic

Footer

  • This is an all-new Forbidden Romance and 
TOTAL standalone about an outsider who falls for the heiress to
 an untouchable empire... 
 
 
Synopsis
 
Bastian Bishop. That's his name.
He's rough, rugged, and utterly unpredictable.
He's not cautious or contemplative. He's a volcano. Silent and steady one second, and a nightmare in the next.
 
But that's not the worst of it.
This guy? He's an outsider and in my world outsiders don't belong.
They're unwanted, unwelcome and known to disappear without a trace, yet he doesn't seem to care.
 
After one night of reckless rebellion, the tattooed tyrant keeps coming back, sneaking into my world without permission, and causing trouble I can't allow.
 
I should end this now before my father discovers his existence and does it for me, but he won't allow it.
 
He says, like it or not … I am his now, that nothing and no one will stand in his way.
 
What he refuses to understand is I'm a Girl of Greyson, a coveted queen of sorts in the underground crime world.
He's a nobody, an insignificant man with nothing to his name, marking him a threat to my own.
 
We could never be, but he won't hear it.
And me? I know exactly how this ends.
 
Or so I thought I did, until betrayal burns so deep that suddenly nothing makes sense.
 
Nothing but him…

Tuesday
 
Each day I long for the forbidden.
Dreams like seeds planted in poor soil.
 
My future has been sown since I was young, and now the man I’ve fallen for is off-limits.
Not that he'd give me the time of day.
 
My brother's best friend puts out fires by day, and ignites unfamiliar feelings by night.
How do I pluck these desires before they overtake me?
 
I'm choosing to stay positive. Live joyfully, like a sunflower.
 
If only someone like Alex could adore me as I do my faithful blossoms.
 
Alex
 
My life is nearly perfect.
Great job, hot girl, and amazing friends.
So why do I feel off?
 
I'm not looking for more. And if I was, the last thing I'm allowed to consider is Tuesday Palmer.
 
If only she hadn't put me under a spell with her bright smile and radiant personality.
 
But restraint is the name of this game.
I can only look, not touch, this tempting flower.
 
Even if I'm dying to surrender.

He used to crush on her best friend.

How can he convince her falling for him won’t crush her heart?

Though Nick Mancini flirts with her like it’s his second job, Kate Andrews tries to ignore the sexy construction worker. How could he be interested in her? Not that long ago, he was in love with Kate’s best friend, Faith. His muscled body and sexy dimples are hard to resist, but Kate refuses to be anyone’s rebound girl. Been there, done that, burned the road map.
Trouble is, Kate does believe love at first sight. But it has to be a two-way street, and she’s convinced she and Nick are destined to crash and burn.

Nick can pinpoint the exact moment he gave up on Faith, and really saw Kate for the first time. He’d ticked her off and she’d been seriously angry. He’d looked right into those flashing green eyes, and he was a goner. He’s pretty sure Kate feels the same way, but despite their off-the-charts chemistry, she rejects him at every turn.

But Nick is nothing if not persistent and the longing looks she sneaks his way don’t lie. She wants him, too. For Nick to break through Kate’s barriers, he’ll have to throw out the original blueprint and come up with a whole new plan. One that takes him off guard and cements their future.

Note: Fated was previously published under the same title by NYT bestselling author Carly Phillips. Contains a middle school English teacher who never makes the same mistake twice, and a hunky construction worker who understands every possible definition of the word nailed. Enjoy!

Pro hockey player Archer Holt is taking his charm and swagger from the ice to the...sand? One of sixteen players competing to be the last man standing on a new reality show, he’s all in until he finds out the meaning behind the show’s title—Exiled.

Archer
Before I was a pro hockey player, I was an Eagle Scout. I can tie knots, build shelters and fish like nobody’s business, making me the perfect choice to represent my team on a reality show set on a primitive tropical island. I can endure scorching heat, tough competitions and torrential rainfall—no problem. But when I find out who my partner is, I’m not so sure I’ll survive being stranded on an island with her.

Lauren
Archer Holt broke my heart eight years ago. Now he’s rich and famous, and I’m a high school English teacher in our hometown. When I’m offered the chance to compete for half a million dollars by outlasting fifteen other teams on an island with my selfish jerk of an ex, I jump at it, because that money can change not just my life, but my family’s. Besides, I’m long over Archer.
Or so I thought.

  • Okay, people, it’s happening! This is not a drill!!!

This emotionally gripping single dad/single mom romance is going to blow your mind. Get ready for a wild ride of twists and turns!!!
Link in Profile…

In the aftermath of tragedy, it’s strange the things you remember.
The deafening boom as the house exploded.
The paralyzing fear as I searched for my wife.
The blinding smoke burning my eyes as I carried her out.

But carved into my soul for the rest of my days would be the earth-shattering realization that the woman in my arms wasn’t my wife.

Bree and I were the only survivors—not that either of us were truly living after that night. As a single dad with nowhere else to go, I moved into her guest house. And somehow, through the guilt and grief, we forged an unlikely team.

It took years, but I watched the gradual return of her smile—slow and life-altering.The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life.

I may have carried her out of that fire, but the truth was, Bree saved me.
As we healed, the secrets and lies of the past smoldered in the ashes, threatening to ignite again.

Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames.

When I’m offered the chance to compete for half a million dollars by outlasting fifteen other teams on an island with my selfish jerk of an ex, I jump at it, because that money can change not just my life, but my family’s. Besides, I’m long over Archer. Or so I thought. #Exiled #BrendaRothert #newbooks #enemiestolovers #hockeyromance #givemebookspr #kindlebooks #standaloneromance #strandedonanisland #secondchanceromance

Okay, people, it’s happening! This is not a drill!!!

This emotionally gripping single dad/single mom romance is going to blow your mind. Get ready for a wild ride of twists and turns!!!
Link in Profile…

In the aftermath of tragedy, it’s strange the things you remember.
The deafening boom as the house exploded.
The paralyzing fear as I searched for my wife.
The blinding smoke burning my eyes as I carried her out.

But carved into my soul for the rest of my days would be the earth-shattering realization that the woman in my arms wasn’t my wife.

Bree and I were the only survivors—not that either of us were truly living after that night. As a single dad with nowhere else to go, I moved into her guest house. And somehow, through the guilt and grief, we forged an unlikely team.

It took years, but I watched the gradual return of her smile—slow and life-altering.The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life.

I may have carried her out of that fire, but the truth was, Bree saved me.
As we healed, the secrets and lies of the past smoldered in the ashes, threatening to ignite again.

Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames.
