Summary

Ambition. Passion. Betrayal.

Rita Award-winning author Kennedy Ryan delivers the epic first installment of the All the King's Men duet.

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.

First time reading this author and it was a pleasant surprise. It wasn't the dark romance I usually enjoy, but it's a romance with substance. Lenix is a woman with native American heritage who fights for the rights and injustice of her people and other minorities. Maxim is a graduate genuinely concerned with climate change and affects fossil fuels have on the planet. This contrast with what his father wants for him which is to take over the family business which causes the very damage to the planet Maxim wants to prevent. Both Maxim and Lenix are ambitious and determined to pursue their cause.

For reasons i won't divulge, after overwhelming insatiable passionate chemistry between them, Maxim and Lenix separate due to lies, betrayal and fear and it takes ten years for them to meet again. Can they rekindle the intense passion they had before? Or does the beliefs they hold, which have carved out high flying successful busy careers mean it can never be?

The characters had me engaged and the story covers interesting important topics. The end left me surprised to say the least and I immediately grabbed the final instalment.

Great book, passion, suspense and important topics covered in this romance like treatment of native Americans and climate change

Specifically Jo's narration was hard to follow because she mumbles A LOT!! I find she does this with every book I have read that she narrates and it really takes you out of the story. Jason Clarke however did a stellar job and brought Maxim to life! Love the cadence of his voice.

Love the story but the narration. . .

The woman’s narration is not great. The voice actor fails to enunciate their words and they sound like they are on the verge of tears most of the time. Otherwise a really good story and well told though at times a bit preachy.

Well paced story
