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.

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.

It was meant to be a one-night stand. One night of passion. Scorching-hot. Then Beth Cantrell and Eric Donovan were supposed to go their separate ways. That’s the only reason he lied about his name, telling her he was really his wild younger brother. Hiding his identity as the conservative Donovan. The "good" one.

Story
We come from two different worlds. I’m from the streets. She might as well live in an ivory tower. I made my living with my fists. I doubt she could even throw a punch. Our paths never should have crossed. We never should have met. That doesn’t change the facts. I would sell my soul to taste those red lips. Fight the devil himself to hear her laugh. Burn in hell to have a single night. Scarlett Priest shouldn’t even know men like me exist, but sometimes temptation is stronger than will. If this is how I go down, it’ll be worth every second of the fall.

They say it happens when you least expect it. It did for me. It started the moment I saw the simple message pop up on my computer screen: Cameron’s Mac: Hi. And when I met the eyes of the gorgeous man messaging me from across the coffee shop, I never thought my reply would lead to the most intense, sexual, and passionate relationship of my life. We both agreed to check our bags at the door and put our future hopes and aspirations on the table. It worked. I fell in love with his no-holds-barred attitude, sexy smirk, and undeniably good heart...and for a while we forgot about our baggage.

Jason Clarke = 5 stars
This was the start of a good story that got bogged down from the numerous times the reader was reminded that Lennix was the champion of indigenous people, her mother disappeared, most likely killed, etc, etc. The plot line was different, which was a good thing, but Lennix was so self righteous she couldn't see something special when it stood in front of her.
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.

Everything about this book is absolutely fantastic. It was everything I didn’t expect and didn’t know I needed - and I love it so. The narration is perfect.
Worth it!!

⭐️ “Sustainable” Love ⭐️
This not the usual love story nor an old fashioned Mafia novela. It is packed with very serious issues such as global warming, clean energy, and Native American heritage, social inequality, which are all the elements to tangle the main characters-Lennix and Maxim-on their own ambitions agendas for justice and a green planet. It is hot, sweet, and suspenseful, and it is also about forgiveness. Lennix and Maxim’s love is intense, it is all I can say without spoiling. This is the first book and I loved it! Raylan and Clarke narrations are stellar. Happy Listening! Rushing to Book 2!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of the best storylines in romance genre!
I'm so invested in this story that I can't wait for the audio version and I'm reading it on Kindle. That's really saying something since I have bad eyes so I rarely read anymore.
Even though it starts with a case of instalust, the plot points and especially the background/back story of Lennix (the FC) make this book extraordinary. Lennix is strong from the start and her difficulties make sense (I'm being vague so I don't spoil anything).
The MC, Maxim, is acceptable even though he's more one dimensional than Lennix as the crazy ambitious rich guy with a hero complex. But his story at least seems plausible and his environmentally altruistic aspects seem genuine.
I'm not a big fan of Jo Raylan's narration. It's well acted, but her voice frequently sounds like she's on the verge of crying, which really throws me out of the story when it doesn't fit with what she's saying or what is happening. Jason Clarke does a fine job, but it's not a stand out performance. Honestly though, I'd rather have that than someone whose voice constantly makes me think about the narrator. Actually, come to think of it, now I'm thinking that that makes his narration rather excellent since my mind sometimes wanders when I'm listening to other narrators like Sebastian York or Jeremy (forgot his last name).
Lastly, the intimate scenes are pretty hot but never quite hit the "on fire" mark for me. A little more detail would be nice and I absolutely throb where there's a well-placed gasp, groan or quick intake of breath.
Since I almost exclusively listen to books, I don't know if it's the author or the narrator who add that element.
Great work over all its a fantastic book that really stands out for me. I listen to about 4-5 books per week, but rarely review them, so it says a lot that I'm such a fan of this one!

The King Maker
Kennedy Ryan is a master storyteller! King Maker (All The Kings MenMen duet, book 1), is the story of Lennix and Maxim. They are two people from absolutely diverse backgrounds. They meet when Lennix, a 17 year old Native American is involved in the protest of a proposed pipeline being put through her people’s land. Maxim is the son of the man whose company is building the pipeline. Maxim is an undergraduate college student, and a budding environmentalist, and Is with his father on this trip unwillingly, as he is opposed to his father’s plan. During the protest, attack dogs are released and Maxim ends up being bitten in trying to protect Lennix . All the protestors were arrested right along with Maxim. Maxim is fascinated with Lennix, but never tells her his last name or why he’s there. Lennix and Max lose touch, with Maxim turning his back on his Father’s business interests and becoming a strong environmentalist. Lennix finishes school and becomes a strong advocate for native Americans rights, especially for abused and missing native women.
Their story is riveting and is wrought with misunderstandings, half truths and bitterness. It will leave you breathless, and dying to read the second half of their story in The Rebel King. Jason Clarke was wonderful as usual. Jo Raylan is new to me and did a great job also. Run to get Rebel King now!
