This was my first book by Kennedy Ryan, but it definitely won’t be my last. I received an advanced reader copy of this book, and I’m so grateful I did because I absolutely loved it. The writing was beautiful, and the characters were incredibly compelling, especially Lennix. I adored her character and really enjoyed following her journey and growth throughout the story. What stood out to me most was how strongly she held onto her values and how passionately she fought for what she believed in, as a Native American woman. Knowing that the issues she’s fighting against are still affecting her people today made the story feel even more powerful and heartbreaking. I also enjoyed Maxim’s character, although there were moments when I found him frustrating and even a bit insufferable, especially because of his cockiness. Still, I think there’s a lot more depth to him that hasn’t fully been explored yet. Since this is a duology, I’m hoping the second book will dive deeper into their stories and give me more of what I felt was missing here. Either way, I’m really excited to continue the series.

Just wow!! I mean from other books Kennedy had written before i had known that tis other has an intense way to write her stories. This story caught my interest from page one. Because of the themes this romance dealt with besides besides the tangling energery between the hero and the heorine. So many of the themes this author brought up in this book are so actuell and improtant to talk about. All this themes made a perfect cocktail to make the story even more interesting. We saw the protagonits fight for all this things they wanted and to watch them on their ways to the persons they want to be. But even if we had some serious themes in this book there had been a lot desire between those Characters and also there had been a lot of dialogues wich made me laugh. But also I tears stired my eyes more than one time. This first part of the duet find an end wich makes the wait for the final book in this duet. Maxim is a young man who isn't really interested in his famamilys money and works hard for his own empire. We saw thta he his will is iron and if he wants something. He loves fiercly and his family seems to be important to him. He has humor but is laso really serious. Lennix is a young women who fights for her ideas and is a good person. She is a strong person who doesn't give up easy. To conclude you can say that this catching and really touching story is more than a must read. Well choosen words and this themes made an amazing story together wich really much enjoyed reading. i Laughed, Cried and feel like had to hug the characters.
