The Rebel King by Kennedy Ryan

The Rebel King (All the King's Men, #2)

by Kennedy Ryan

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?

Kennedy Ryan definitely has a way with words and she always draws you in with her completely engaging stories. I love that she brings topics that need to be talked about to the forefront of every one of her stories.

Just a note, this cannot be read as a standalone, it's book 2 in theĀ All King's Men duet.

This one picks up right where book 1 ended and it was the cliffhanger of cliffhangers. And you jet set on this bit of suspense right from the beginning. It had my heart racing and honestly, I didn't expect a bit of this suspense at all. I guess you can say that you can see it coming, but I did wish I had more of it during this read.

As far as reads dealing with politics, they generally don't rank as my favorite. I know I'll definitely be in the minority with this one because as far as KR reads, this one wasn't my favorite.

It had nothing to do with the writing because it was phenomenal. I had a bit of a disconnect with the heroine, Lennix, and their relationship.
