#RSFave & Review | Queen Move by Kennedy Ryan
The fearsome creature came from across Drukkar’s Sea…and there was a rider on its back.
The boy who always felt like mine is now the man I can’t have…
Dig a little and you’ll find photos of me in the bathtub with Ezra Stern.
Get your mind out of the gutter. We were six months old.
Pry and one of us might confess we saved our first kiss for each other. The most clumsy, wet, sloppy . . . spectacular thirty seconds of my adolescence.
Get into our business and you’ll see two families, closer than blood, torn apart in an instant.
Twenty years later, my “awkward duckling” best friend from childhood, the boy no one noticed, is a man no one can ignore.
Finer. Fiercer. Smarter.
Taken.
Tell me it’s wrong.
Tell me the boy who always felt like mine is now the man I can’t have.
When we find each other again, everything stands in our way–secrets, lies, promises.
But we didn’t come this far to give up now.
And I know just the move to make if I want to make him mine.

I will never turn down a Kennedy Ryan book and Queen Move is here! And what a read it turned out to be with a friends to lovers/second chance romance that you’ll feel to the depths of your soul. Compared to the other books I’ve read by her, it wasn’t high up there on the emotional scale and I’ll be honest, I was pretty thankful for that. If it were, I’d be an absolute mess!
I loved the topics that Kennedy chose to write through her characters, Kimba and Ezra. I am a Jewish brown girl still trying to very much navigate it all since it is still new to me. And with Kimba and what she goes through throughout this story, I understood her on different level. To me, I was able to connect to them almost instantly.
Normally friends to lovers don’t really do it for me, but it worked so damn well in Queen Move . They were two souls that were always meant to be in each other’s lives, time and space would note mute what they’ve had since they were kids. And I just loved that.
When it comes to the various conflicts that truly held them back to REALLY be together, it irked me to no end. Just all the hurdles they had to get through to finally get their happily ever after. But it was worth it in the end, their love was able to bypass every complex situation they were facing. They found their balance.
Truly another memorable story by Kennedy, who masters such a beautiful story that’ll resonate with her readers. She covers various topics that soooo many of us can relate to. Queen Move is another recommendation that you need add to your TBR.
