About this listen
Ambition. Passion. Betrayal.
Rita Award-winning author Kennedy Ryan delivers the epic first installment of the All the King's Men duet.
Raised to rule, bred to lead, and weaned on a diet of ruthless ambition.
In a world of haves and have-nots, my family has it all, and I want nothing to do with it.
My path takes me far from home and paints me as the black sheep. At odds with my father, I'm determined to build my own empire. I have rules, but Lennix Hunter is the exception to every one of them. From the moment we meet, something sparks between us. But my family stole from hers, and my father is the man she hates most. I lied to have her and will do anything to keep her. Though she tries to hate me, too, the inexorable pull between us will not be denied.
And neither will I.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

Years later, they've climbed so high and lost so much, but one thing hasn't changed—the attraction that simmered between them in a locker room before is still there. With success like theirs, everything has been possible...except them. But that was then.

Sloane: Dominic Alexander is my late husband's best friend and the last man that I should want. For the last ten years, he's taken a sick pleasure in making me feel paper thin, like my existence is of no consequence to him at all. But now, things are different. After a drunken night, and a surprisingly sexy act of heroism, he's started to be . . . nice. Treating me like something other than the embodiment of his annoyance, which would be nice if it didn't make me feel things I swore to never feel for another man after my husband died.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

The job offer she expected after taking an unpaid internship at a major shoe company didn’t come through.

Story
When Cristiano Grigori came for me, he didn’t come alone. He brought his army to kill the soldiers at my door and took me for himself. He put his ring on my finger and marked me as mafia property. His property. Cristiano is my enemy. He’s also the only man with whom I’ve ever felt safe. Protected. But I have to remember that he married me with one purpose in mind—revenge. I would be the bridge to his real enemies. I can’t let myself forget that he isn’t the hero of this story. His hands are covered in blood. I saw that with my own eyes.

Her character reminded me of the times I've met someone who is so angry, bitter and controlling that they have no room to listen to, let alone allow someone to have a different view point. I didn't find Lennix very likable. I'm not sure if that was K. Ryan's aim but it's how it came across in the story.
The two main characters, Maxim and Lennix, have a solid background story wrapped around Maxim supporting and developing sustainable energy sources and recycling products into wearable clothing items with Lenox’s character starting a company that runs political campaigns. Maxim’s father is a user, runs an energy empire, takes what really isn’t his and has very little conscious. Obviously Maxim and dad butt heads and rarely speak to one another. Dad is so busy crushing people and grabbing land, he doesn’t notice that his son hasn’t used any of dads money to pay for his college education.
There is lots of emphasis on the many ecological issues that we face today; renewable energy, less dependence on oil, reusing, repurposing what we have; becoming less of a throw away society, mindful of our planet and how it is being destroyed.
As for the story overall; it drags in the middle and I do mean DRAGS!, making the listener rev up the speed of the Audible book just to get to some new information or story rather than sit thru another ten minutes of Lennix on her soap box.
Otherwise it is very entertaining, informative, and politically minded.
Narrators: Jason Clarke - excellent Maxim voice. 5 stars
Jo Raylan - something about her cadence just didn’t seem to match the character that was created by the author. Lennix was suppose to be an independent thinker, a strong woman, not a laid back, whiney, bored female. I heard boredom, so I gave Ms. Raylan 2.5 stars.
Jason Clarke = 5 stars
