A review by jessicasilfenroy
The Kingmaker by Kennedy Ryan
5.0
Kennedy Ryan’s writing never ceases to amaze me! And at only 5 pages in, I knew it was going to be a five star read for me.
This story follows Lennix, an American Indian, and Maxim, son of a wealthy oil businessman. The two meet at a pipeline protest and while their encounter was brief, it left a lasting impression on both of them. Four years later they run into each other in Amsterdam and have a perfect week together however, due their own ambitions and goals, Lennix about to join a political campaign to protect indigenous people and Maxim on a mission to save the climate, their paths don’t cross at the right time.
Lennix and Maxim were two characters filled with such depth and appreciation. They had a mutual respect for the other, which was beautiful see on paper. Besides having an epic romance, I love how this book dived into powerful topics not often represented in romance books, such as environmental advocacy/ climate change and the history of the Apache Nation and the rights of these people. There is a bit of a cliffhanger at the end but don’t let that keep you from reading!! I’m ordering the sequel ASAP!
