Queen Move is NOT to be missed!. 5+ STARS NO SPOILERS! Queen Move was absolute romance PERFECTION, and has been the BEST second chance romance that I’ve EVER read! I completely fell head over heels in love with Ezra and Kimba’s beautiful, soulful, sexy, emotional, and swoon-worthy love story, and it has by far been my FAVORITE romance from Kennedy Ryan to date! The storyline was outstanding and so much more than I hoped it would be. Kennedy Ryan’s prose and talent is truly unparalleled, and the story she created for Ezra and Kimba was incredibly special and memorable, and I couldn’t get enough. Everything from beginning to end had me captivated and addicted, and I honestly loved it with all of my heart and soul. I was sad when I reached The End, but couldn’t have been more ecstatic with the conclusion. Ms. Ryan definitely made this reader one happy camper. :) The characters were phenomenal, and that word doesn’t even do them enough justice. Ezra and Kimba were EVERYTHING, and I simply adored them to pieces. They were amazing in every way and I loved their personalities. They were incredibly likable, lovable, relatable, and I was rooting for them from the start. Ezra and Kimba had insanely hot chemistry together, and I loved the deep connection and friendship they shared. It was truly special and definitely made me envious. I also loved all of their banter and interactions with each other, and how their relationship progressed throughout, despite some of the complications that arose. Ezra and Kimba’s love story was anything but easy, and there were a lot of trials and tribulations to overcome, but I would give almost anything to experience the journey with them all over again for the first time. Ezra and Kimba were true soul mates, and I’ll never forget this couple or their exceptional love story. Kennedy Ryan’s books are on another level of romance excellence, and Queen Move was another MUST READ from this beyond talented author! Ezra and Kimba’s story surpassed all of my expectations and more, and it is definitely NOT to be missed!

Good not great. For me this novel does not pack the emotional punch of the All the King’s Men series. Drags a bit. I keep putting it down and then come back to it.

Loved!. Kimba’s story is one I couldn’t wait to read! She is fierce, bold, independent, and loyal. This story culminates all of those things and then some in her man. A long journey for both with some interesting twists, this book does not disappoint.

Another AMAZING novel by Ryan. Kimba Allen is a grown ass woman. She is ambitious. She’s successful. She has a sexual appetite. She’s confident and owns all parts of herself. (On a personal note, I love reading romances that tell the stories of women outside the twenty-something bubble many romances embody. Love and life exists outside that decade, no? I like seeing it here). . Ezra is a solid man. Not just his stature and build, but his emotional accountability, his ability to communicate, he has an amazing job he’s passionate about... he’s mixed race and the novel deals with very real issues that come up when you are a part of more than one racial and/or cultural world. . I’m a sucker for a love across the years...decades...a length of time that debuted an intimacy that can’t be garnered in a insta-love story. And that’s what this is ... the reader can feel the tension and desire that only years a part can make. A love that is reignited at different times during a life even just in thought. . That is a love I can get behind. Tied together by time and unrequited but inevitable passions. Another one that @kennedyryan1 hits out of the park.

Phenomenal!! A must read!. Another phenomenal read by Kennedy Ryan. From the prologue you’ll become engrossed in this beautiful story about soulmates and fate. Ezra and Kimba’s journey is filled with angst and a love that was destined from the start. Their chemistry is palpable, their push and pull is electric. Kennedy Ryan has a way with words that pulls you in and gives you all the FEELS. Hold on for this roller coaster ride of emotions from this fantastically written passionate storyline. A definite must read!

My #1 Book Of The Year!. Wow! This is a phenomenal story! It is emotional, empowering and romantic as he!!. A second chance, passionate, lyrical romance that takes your breath away. Kennedy Ryan never ceases to deliver something completely unique, completely addictive and completely mind-blowing. I was utterly mesmerized. I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK! So undeniably, unequivocally, irrevocably in love with this book. Everything about the storyline and the characters captivated me. Kimba and Ezra are delicious together. Their personalities, their conversations, their chemistry...my my my! I was a goner, charmed beyond words. And gosh did I ever fall in love. This had ALL THE THINGS I live for in a romance and much much MORE. Great love stories have one thing in common: the author’s exquisite ability at storytelling. QUEEN MOVE transforms from a simple love story to one that enraptures readers with it’s emotion, conviction, and vitality. Beautifully penned this book is a insta-must read and one you won’t be able to put down. I will never forget Kimba and Ezra’s story. This is my new #1 Book of the Year!

Good read!. It as a good book. Some parts it dragged but all in all a good read!

Amazing!!. My heart is 100% completely full after reading Queen Move. Kennedy Ryan has managed to create another spectacular masterpiece. Ezra Stern and Kimba Allen are noteworthy, admirable characters and their beautiful and touching story will resonate with me for a long time. I felt their passionate romance deep down to my soul. I thoroughly enjoyed Queen Move for several reasons and I particularly appreciate it when Kennedy Ryan writes characters of different ethnicities and religions. And I always walk away learning something new. This book also portrays relatable characters with realistic events and aspects that gave me all the feels and emotions. I felt such a deep connection with the Allen family. And I was so in love with them to the point that I found myself wishing Janetta Allen was my mom and that I could be a part of the family. I have a soft spot for young love and since Ezra and Kimba met as babies and fell in love as teenagers, my romantic heart was thrilled. The real magic starts to happen when they reunite years later and realize their flame is still burning. Kimba is a fierce, strong, confident and articulate woman who blew my away. And sweet Ezra, he’s what every woman could ever hope for in a companion. He’s down to earth, caring, selfless and perfect in every way. These two are truly made for each other. Their connection is undeniable, the energy and chemistry between them is palpable and all consuming. Their journey isn’t an easy one as their story is raw, complex and real as they deal with life issues, obstacles and obligations. I highly recommend reading Queen Move as it’s one of my top favorite books of 2020.

Amazing read. Kennedy Ryan blows me away with her writing every time. Every. Single. Time. With every book she writes, she solidifies just how talented she is. You can feel the heart and the passion in every single book, every chapter, every word. Queen Move was one of the best friends to lovers romances I’ve ever read. Kimba is a secondary character from ‘The Kingmaker’ and when I met her in that book, I knew I wanted her story. She is unapologetically herself and a strong and independent woman. I wasn’t sure what man would be able to take her on, but Ezra Stern has what it takes. Ezra and Kimba were best friends from the time they were infants until their teenage years when Ezra’s family moved out of the country. Ezra and Kimba always had a special bond, and unbreakable friendship. They’ve been out of each others lives for so many years and things are complicated, but it’s obvious even after all this time, these two belong together. 
 There are parts towards the end of this story that are angsty and a bit…messy. This could have been handled in a bad way, but Kennedy handled it perfectly. I was worried this twist of the story would make me love the book a little less, but it only made me love these characters and their story even more. They were resilient and strong and proved that their love was for real, even during hard times. This book was special. This story was important. These characters moved me. I can’t get enough of Kennedy Ryan’s works and I hope she never ever stops writing. If you’re looking for an epic book that has steam, an incredible prose, and will give you all the feels, pick up Queen Move!

Love it!!. Childhood best friends.... meet again!! After years apart Kimba and Ezra reconnect. Their feelings haven’t changed but life is so different for the both of them. How they get to happily ever after is another beautiful story by Kennedy Ryan. Kimba is a strong woman. She’s got a powerful job in a man’s world and does it well. Ezra is this amazing man with a beautiful soul. And his heart has always been Kimba’s. Their journey takes time, it isn’t rushed, they deal with real issues and at the end... my heart was whole. Kennedy Ryans’s writing is amazing and powerful and real!

Another hit!. The reason I love KR’s books is because they aren’t just great romances, but well-developed, emotionally provocative stories that address complex modern issues in a heartfelt way. I’ve reread her books so many times, and I’m sure this will be no exception. Love this!

Checkmate!. Ryan has done it again. This story kept me captive from the prologue until the end. The journey that Tru and Ezra had to take to get to each was long but definitely worth the HEA they found in the end. Like always Ryan make sure this story had me on the best emotional roll coaster that I won’t mind experiencing at least twice. If you’ve never read a Kennedy Ryan book before here is a good place to start. I’d recommend this book to anyone who’ll listen. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.

4.5 childhood friends to lovers stars. Queen Move is a childhood friends to tween crush to adult lovers story. The background story for these two and their family friendship was wonderful! There is also a lot of wonderful diversity in background in this book, and I love how Kennedy Ryan is able to highlight people of backgrounds that we don't see often in romance. The storytelling is excellent, as usual from this author, and the personal trial of each main character during this story, separate from each other, while they also try to find a way to each other, is what made the story great in my opinion. I loved Ezra and Kimba both individually. I admit there was a moment or two early on where I was worried about where this story might be going, but I should have known better than to have any doubts! I stayed up way too late finishing this book because I couldn't put it down and had to see how everything was resolved. Overall, this is a moving, well-written story and I always appreciate the worlds that Kennedy Ryan takes me to.

A six-star story!. As I was reading this book, a phrase came frequently to my mind: Power to the woman! This is a book about a powerful woman and the second chance she got at love. What I love most about Kennedy Ryan’s stories is that you get more than a love story. You get a life lesson, an inspiration to be more, to do more. You read about people with strong drives to do good, to help the less fortunate and you’re motivated to have compassion and empathy. This author also opens your eyes to social injustices and opens your heart to a desire for more equality and better justice. “Big moves make big waves. Do big things. Make big waves.” Kimba Allen was forged in the steel of her father’s legacy. Actually, the legacy of the Allen family, since she comes from a line of activists. Her father and those before him have worked to improve the situation of many by ensuring that those who get into power positions have the motivation to help those less fortunate. At one moment, she felt overwhelmed by the expectations of her family and her legacy, and she broke tradition and studied someplace else, in Arizona, where she met Lennix, her best friend and partner. Kimba and Lennix made history by campaigning and getting the first independent President in history elected. Now Kimba is starting a new phase in her life working independently from her bestie who is now the first indigenous First Lady. “Daddy used to say don’t talk about it. Be about it. The fastest way to shut up someone who thinks you can’t do something is to do something. Two years since he passed away, and his words continue to guide me every day.” Ezra Stern was Kimba’s best friend since they were babies. Their parents were neighbors and best friends also, and they practically lived in each other’s houses. When they were thirteen, they were in the beginning of a different type of relation, a promise of a future. But they were inexplicably torn apart, Ezra’s family left, and Kimba was left bereft with no explanation for what happened. Twenty years later, on her father’s funeral, Ezra appears again, to give his respects, bringing his son and the mother of his son with him. It’s at this point that I felt such a huge yearning for what could have been. You could feel the connection between them, like an incomplete melody that desperately needed to find completion. However, Kimba recognized that Ezra had a family and she let him go. Years later, they were to meet, when Ezra has his school for disadvantaged children and Kimba is working in election campaigns. Their attraction is so strong that they can’t help but want to be together, to forge a future together, but there are many obstacles and secrets dividing them. It’s very difficult and Kimba has many concerns. Their story is strife with interruptions and separations, and indecision. I admired Ezra so much because he was determined to resolve his issues so he could get his woman. He was honorable, kind and considerate, but also direct and driven. He waited with so much patience and love and fortitude for the woman he loves to come to him. He was like this silent force, emanating a magnetic field of love to bring Kimba to him. “Every campaign, every election, each candidate—I’ve believed in. I believed that putting that person in power advanced one of my convictions.” Kimba was a life force, driven to help, driven to make her candidates succeed so they could perform on her ideals. You’d think she was a complicated woman, but she’s not; she’s driven by heart and passion and it reflects on her love for Ezra. “You save all your tears for the things that set you on fire inside. Anyone who’s ever thought you were cold never got to hear your passion for people, never got to see you fight for them when it’s inconvenient or even a lost cause.” I loved both characters for their integrity, honor, and social compromise. Each one, in their own style, helped overcome social problems. They had the same drive, he teaching, she getting responsible politicians elected. Apart from the love, they saw each other, they were the perfect other to support and help in their quest. There were also secondary plot lines, like Kimba’s relation with her family, a reunion with Mona, a childhood friend who had strong opinions on Kimba’s and Ezra’s relation, Kimba’s brother’s political ambitions. All plot lines were seamlessly woven together into this flawless story that motivates, enthralls and make your heart sing with the happiness of a wonderful story and a beautiful romance. I loved every sentence and every word. It was an honor to be given the opportunity to review an arc.

This author is AMAZING!. This book is so good. We go back to the past and see how close Ezra and Kimba were. We see them finally find each other. Even when pulled in different directions they still feel connected. Their chemistry jumps off the pages. The angst has me wanting to break things. I needed to know... Kimba and Ezra are explosive together. I am always amazed at the things I learn reading Kennedy Ryan’s books. She is so talented. The research she has to do to write such compelling stories has to be a lot of work. I never saw the twist coming. I swear my jaw dropped to the floor. Drawing flies because I couldn’t pick it up. Kimba truly wanted what was best for the family. I felt her fear of losing, but she truly was a QUEEN.

Lots of Life Lessons. One thing that amazes me about this story is how Ezra is not afraid to express what he wants, even if it may break another person’s heart. “I don’t want normal, I want Kimba.” There has been so many different scenarios that I’ve witnessed in real life where people miss their chances and opportunities because of sugarcoating, pettiness, or misunderstandings. I truly believe in speaking your mind and expressing your thoughts, feelings, and desires completely. In essence, being straightforward. Because if we don’t, we could miss out on an opportunity that effects our entire life. We could miss out on true love and never be completely happy; only try to find contentment in what we’ve had to settle with. Keyword: settle. No one is truly happy with something or someone we didn’t originally want (generally speaking). This book reassured me that being uncomfortably or overly honest is okay as long as I am being true to myself. I also love how Ezra loves Kimba. The way he describes their souls being created together and not being afraid of being emotional and vulnerable with the woman he loves. He is confident in his masculinity yet gentle and compassionate for his woman. I wonder how Ezra’s character development and thought process would have turned out if a male wrote this book. The thought couldn’t help but cross my mind: a woman wrote this book and created Ezra. Of course he is the perfect man of our dreams. But I wonder if he would have the same heart, emotion, and intellect if a man wrote it. Food for thought. It saddened me that their love couldn’t be 100% perfect—and it’s all their parents’ fault. What people don’t realize is that certain negative actions will not only effect just them, but it effects everyone else around them as well. What happened between their parents was selfish. Not only did they not consider the children, but they tarnished their adult lives in the long run. They ended up being with the wrong people. The types of people they have nothing in common with, neither beliefs or even opinions. Which in turn, created baggage, issues, and insecurities which could have been avoided had their parents not acted so selfishly. Now they have other people permanently in their lives that should have never been there in the first place. Love conquers all, of course. But love shouldn’t be difficult all the time. I feel for Kimba deeply. She has to share the man 3 different ways when he should’ve always been just hers. And I know they seem happy together. But deep down, if this was a real person, every time she looks at his family she will always feel some sort of insecurity, resentment, or maybe even jealousy. Maybe not a lot. But it will definitely be there in her gut. This is why I choose to be with someone with a clean slate. No baggage. No children. No deep history with a past relationship. I want to be his first, his last, and his only. The first and last woman he proposes to and marries. The first and last woman to conceive and give birth to his children. I don’t like sharing and I definitely don’t want to feel like I have to compete with someone else, or feel like a third wheel at their children’s birthday parties or dance recitals. To find someone with a clean slate is rare in this day and age, and in some cases I may still be young and immature, but at this stage in my life I just can’t find myself being in that type of situation. This book has reconfirmed my way of thinking. I thank Kennedy Ryan for the valuable life lessons learned and I thoroughly enjoyed this story. 5 stars! Will read again. Can’t wait for the bonus chapters! Also: I tried to write this review with no spoilers but if I gave anything away, please accept my dearest apologies!

Beautiful. This story is so beautifully written. Thank you

5 ⭐️ Fate, Passion, Heartbreak & HEA. “We were never lost, and this place has always been waiting for our wandering hearts, for our prodigal souls to finally, together rest.” You know when you pick up a book of of Kennedy’s it will be something special, Kimba and Ezra’s is no exception! This is a journey of self discovery, with heartache, heartbreak, passion and so much love. The angst builds throughout, as fate throws down its gauntlet at every turn. Kimba is such a strong character, she’s proven so much, but feels she’s so much more still to give. Ezra knows the day he reconnected with Kimba where his hearts always belonged, but life and circumstance will prove this will not be easy to take a hold of. This was such an amazing read, never really knowing which direction we would be taken, one can never presume! Only hope. “Centuries separated us, but now here we are and here’s our chance.”

Hold on to your heart. I’m always in awe of Kennedy Ryan’s characters. They are so loveable. I don’t need an angry alpha but I would love a quiet, calm, grounded Ezra Stern. He took my heart and he made it his. Kimba was always going to be a great hero in her own right. She was majestic in her support of Lennix in the King’s Men duet. She’s fierce. She’s frank. She’s so in love with the little Ezra who she shared a bath with as a babe in arms. Love came with bike rides shared, on swings in parks and with can ring pulls on fingers. When the two reconnect as adults it seems like the stars have aligned and it will be perfect. But this is Kennedy Ryan, she never takes it easy on her characters and she loves the tears of her readers like I love gin. Queen Move is the kind of book that makes you appreciate that the human race is beautiful when it comes together, when we understand each other’s values and we celebrate our differences and our similarities. My favourite quotes: “A snow-globe moment where everything was shaken and all my particles are still drifting to the ground, resettling into a completely new person.” “I’d discovered a beautiful butterfly when she was a caterpillar and she had been completely mine. Now the whole world marveled at the spread of her wings, basked in her vibrant color. Now everyone knew how fantastic she was and she’d never be just mine again.” “The years fall away like a torn veil separating him from me, then from now. It hasn’t been years. There has only been one long day for us on which the sun has never set. We were never lost, and this place has always been waiting for our wandering hearts, for our prodigal souls to finally, together rest.” “I don’t just want you when you’re strong. I want you when you’re vulnerable, when you’re lost, when you’re not sure. I see the armor you have put on to make it in your world. I just want to know here, with me, you can take the armor off.” “Sometimes the most powerful move you can make is to be still.” A beautiful story. Hold onto your heart.

Great read. From the first chapter I was absolutely hooked on the story that Ms.Ryan wove and frankly I could not put Queen Move down. This is Kimba Allen and Ezra Stern’s story and it is a beautifully written love story. This is a second chance at love story that ticked the boxes for me. I needed to know what happened and read well in to the night. This is a book that will reel you in and keep you riveted from the beginning to the end. Sometimes when you read a book, you know that the hero and heroine and simply meant to be and that is how I feel about Kimba and Ezra, two parts of a whole, soul mates who are meant to be together. This book had it all, with love, romance and chemistry that left me breathless. One click this little gem you won’t be disappointed.

Emotional read. 4.5 Stars for Queen Move. This is a second chance love story that’s full of drama, emotion, secrets and lots of heartfelt soul searching into the past. It’s a story that will draw you in and won’t let you go until you have read the final words, It’s a romance about families, love and courage and how at times we as women often need to be strong and stand up for what we want and believe in when it comes to life. This is one of those stories that you know from the first page this couple are meant to be together and as soon as I started Kimba and Ezra journey I knew they were soulmates looking to get the HEA they both deserved. I highly recommend this gem of a read because it’s a book with all the feels, it’s got love, it’s got romance and it’s got chemistry and let’s not forget great characters and a great storyline.

Queen to King 7. This book was more of a slow burn than Maxim and Lennixs’ story which had a bit more spice. Still nice to finish off a series including other main characters.

A remarkable story!. 4.5 stars Queen Move is Kimba’s story and we are sent on a journey from a young age and how her life has shaped who she is today! Growing up in her family and the dilemmas faced, caused her to fight for what she truly believes in. Losing touch with part of her childhood in her best friend Ezra is not easy but seeing him again after so much time has gone by, rattles her as it does to him! Needless to say things are complicated, there is drama, secrets, revisiting the past and feelings that play havoc on both Kimba and Ezra! Kimba has grown into a strong, independent woman who has alot she needs to come to term with. She is incredibly good at her job and strives to be the best she can be! Do past feelings resurface or are there more obstacles Kimba will face as she navigates her life! I thought this story shows a wonderful sense of family and friendship! But where Ezra is concerned, can love stand the test of time?? Is there hope for them? I loved Ezra, his caring and humble way about him! A remarkable story of family, love and the courage to stand up for what you want in life!
