This book was SO GOOD. Until the end, dang it! There is just a random cliffhanger that doesnt seem necessary. It was tied up so nicely in the second to last chapter. I guess on to the second book.

I absolutely loved this first book. It has the perfect mix of tension, strong characters, and fleshed out characters. I was attached to every single one of them. Lennix is a strong Native American woman and Maxim is the "perfect" guy who you can relate to because he understands his privilege and how he can change the world. I love that this book makes the issues we are facing as a society accessible and easier to understand.
I think that is what I love most about this book is the balance and closeness to how society tells us to pick a side when we can all aim to work past the issues we have with each other to create a solid foundation for the future.
Now, when it comes to Lennix and Maxim, their relationship is sexy, steamy, and full of beautiful moments. There are moments when I laughed and moments when I felt the pain that Lennix felt. Also, reading from both Maxim and Lennix's perspectives made this story even more well done and I instantly read the sequel to this!

“I know it’s unreasonable because I met her no more than an hour ago. We’ve had one conversation. Some people leave an impression. Lennix Moon Hunter has left more than an impression. She’s left her mark on me. And it’s shaped like a star.”
I absolutely loved this book. I received this ARC from NetGalley and I have absolutely fallen in love with this source/website for ARCs. I have found so many new authors that I absolutely love and stories that will stay with me for a very long time.
I’ve got to thank NetGalley for introducing me to Kennedy Ryan. This is my first book of hers and I loved it. Everything was done beautifully – the writing, the characters, the story, the ending. You know it’s a good book when the characters are amazing as individuals but when you put them together.. *chef’s kiss*
We meet Lennix, who is part of the Yavapai-Apache Nation Indian Tribe. She’s dedicated to her background and confident in her beliefs.
Maxim is someone who grew up in wealth and power but doesn’t want to hold true to his father’s views.
“This is not about blaming for the past. It’s about us all being responsible for the future.”
I loved that Kennedy included so many current issues that the world is dealing with. Because of this, The King Maker is much more than a romance novel.
I will be checking out more of Kennedy’s books! I highly recommend this one!
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!

Again, I applaud Kennedy Ryan’s ability to write spicy romance novels that also actually have a good plot and character development, rare gems in my experience.
