A review by mistysbookspace
The Kingmaker by Kennedy Ryan

3.5

 I buddy read this book with Ali and we will be reading the 2nd book in June. It seems that I have an unpopular opinion on this book. I didn't hate it by no means it was just another ok book. I loved the FMC. She's a strong female lead who knows what she wants and doesn't take crap from anyone. She starts this book off being a virgin and I loved how this was handled. Most of the time being a virgin is made out to be a bad thing but not in this book and she doesn't let anyone not even her friends pressure her into something she knows she's not ready for. Maxim I think is supposed to be the male equivalent of Lennix. I liked there romance in the beginning but when that came to an end abruptly they barely spent anytime together and the book became too focused on the politics for my liking. The ending was a bit predictable to be but I'm looking forward to picking up the next book.
