"Our hearts pound and our passion overwhelms us. A little more becomes everything, and before I know it, we’re lost in a tangle of I am his and he is mine, insatiable, inseparable."
"Perfect together."

I just love Kenney's writing and The Kingmaker is great! I was completely engrossed in Lennix and Maxim story.They definitely went through a lot and mistakes were made but that's what made everything feel so real.
What a cliffhanger I didn't see that coming and I can't wait for The Rebel King.

Beautiful

I loved everything about the story. I love the prose, the characters, the plot and the way that it built. I have been reading Kennedy‘s books for a while now, and it’s thrilling to watch as she gets better and better. Lennix and Maxim’s story is so timeless and classic. I can’t wait to read it’s conclusion, and yet, at the same time, I don’t wanted to end.
