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 received an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I was not expecting the heartbreak this book gave me.
I am not crying, you are! What an absolute roller coaster of emotion this book was. Kennedy Ryan always knows how to write such a fucking phenomenal book. Her words always manage to gut punch me. As I sit here writing this review, I can’t help but cry thinking about it. The story was so touching, unbelievably moving, filled with love, passion and so much hurt. Maxim is definitely a top book boyfriend for me and let me be real, Lennix is also a book girlfriend of mine too. I don’t think there’s anything about these two that I didn’t love. This is one of those reads that I’ve purposely stretched out. I knew that this book was going to be a tearjerker from the beginning and I’m so glad I took my time with this one. Because I really needed it. I highly, highly recommend listening to this book on audio. It made the reading experience so freaking good. Jason Clark and Jo Raylan did one hell of a job bringing this story to life. I don’t know why she wasn’t on my list earlier, and shame on me for that one, but Kennedy Ryan is hands-down, one of my all-time favorite authors! There isn’t a book that I’ve read by Kennedy Ryan that I haven’t loved. I have fallen in love with each of them for their own reasons, and this book/duet is no different. I will literally recommend her for absolutely anybody. This author and this duet is a must read! Hands down another 6 star read. I think everything about this book & duet is absolutely perfect. Maxim and Lennix will forever live in my brain.
Anyways, just thinking about this book makes me emotional, so I think I’m gonna go ahead and stop this review right here 😭😅
