Ambition. Revenge. Love.
RITA® Award-winning author Kennedy Ryan delivers the gripping conclusion to the All the King’s Men Duet.
Raised to resist. Bred to fight. Survival is in my blood and surrender is never an option.
Though surrender is what Maxim Cade demanded of my body and heart, I had other plans. We were fast-burning fascination and combustible chemistry, but the man I trusted with everything was a trickster. A thief who stole my love. If what we had was a lie, why did it feel so real? The man I swore to hate will have it all, and wants me at his side. But power is a game, and we’re the pawns and players.
Facing insurmountable odds, will we win the world, or will we lose it all?
I am happy to say that the second book in the All the King’s Men Duet does not disappoint. In fact, I think I enjoyed it more than The Kingmaker. The Rebel King is filled with action, heartache, and aching tenderness.
Maxim and Lennix’s romance progresses in ways that feel honest and mature. They don’t play silly games with their emotions. These two strong-willed people butt heads sometimes while navigating several obstacles. However, when they argue they talk it out, listen to each other, and then have great make-up sex. Holy smokes! These two are hot, hot, HOT!
Maxim officially took my heart hostage and I don’t want it back. My massive girl crush on Lennix continued. I didn’t get nearly enough of these two or of their story. Even though an epilogue is included, it feels like there should be a huge “To Be Continued” note tacked to the ending.
Kimba, Lennix’s firecracker best friend and co-owner of their campaign management company, is getting her own book. I’m so excited! Queen Move is a standalone second chance romance that I have already added to my TBR list.

I totally enjoyed this one more than The Kingmaker. There was just something about it that spoke to me more than the first book. I’m also excited for Queen Move! Great review!
Great review! I’m really hoping to get to this series soon.
