By: Kennedy Ryan

Narrated by: Eboni Flowers, Jakobi Diem

Length: 12 hrs and 57 mins

Publisher's summary

From Wall Street Journal, USA Today best-selling, and RITA Award-winning author Kennedy Ryan comes a captivating second chance romance like only she can deliver....

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 30 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.

Ezra & Kimba (aka Tru)

*****Spoiler Alert*****

Audible review. Dual POV. Standalone following the Kingmaker duet. While not required, I recommend reading the duet first as several characters are mentioned that have no relevance to this story and aren't given any detail. I enjoyed both narrators voices but I wish someone would teach Jakobi Diem how to pronounce Bubbe & pho. Trigger warning: cheating is normalized in both the political arena and in both characters' families' lives.

Ezra & Kimba born on the same day, introduced when they were infants and their families were neighbors are now 37 year old professionals. They were separated after their mothers had an affair. 20 years later Ezra has started a school for underserved children and is living with his long time girlfriend and their son. Kimba has overcome her childhood stutter, is a campaign manager and political activist recently diagnosed with perimenopause. When the two finally get together Ezra has just ended his decade long relationship with the mother of his son and hasn't told anyone. They soon find out that she is pregnant with their second child which of course sends Ezra and Kimba in different directions for over a year. Ezra & Kimba reunite for the third time, quickly marry, lose a pregnancy and are pregnant again at the end. JP

Queen Move is a winner worthy of all the ⭐

Let's start with the fact that Kennedy Ryan is one gifted writer and we can all feel honored to read or listen to her words. We are not worthy!!! I feel I need to bow down to her greatness!! The way the story is so beautifully intricate and layered with emotion and twists for the start that as a listener you can't help but get invested and ignore the world just to listen. This is an amazing comparison to the Kingmaker Duet and for sure one of my favorite audios of the year. Okay... Now let's devote so well deserved time to Jakobi Diem and Eboni Flowers. What a powerhouse of a performance!!! Really!! They deserve a huge standing ovation with all the confetti and champagne because they simply took this story and these characters and they SLAYED!!! This is a must listen, worth the credit and well worth the ride. Just pure magic!! Loved it!

Kennedy Ryan, Jakobi Diem & Eboni Flowers...Perfection...♥️🌼

I have just begun listening to audiobooks....and I’m starting with books I already love...I am a huge Kennedy Ryan fan...I have read Queen Move more than once...and I love this book...Listening to it is a whole new experience....Plus, I would listen to Jakobi Diem read the phone book...(do they still have those?) and Eboni Flowers IS the bada-s, Kimba... I love the book even more after I listened to it...♥️🌼

They could have tried.

Good story but the male narrator was terrible. They couldn't find someone who could pronounce the Yiddish and Hebrew words correctly?

Awesome

Kennedy Ryan you are awesome. I loved this book so very very very much. I could not put it down. The love between Kimba & Israh was something I so enjoyed reading about. The mixture of cultures and race’s were amazing. Thanks to Eboni & Jakobi for bringing these characters to life.

Sooooo Gooood!!!!

I love this story!!!! This was my first narration by Eboni and I loved it! Jakobi Diem is my favorite male narrator! Kennedy Ryan did it again!!!!

Narrators were on point

The story was excellent very informative and lovely mixed kids everywhere would benefit from listening to this book

The story is too slow. The narrators are the only good thing about this book. I couldn't finish it. Bored me.

QM

i loved everything about this book. first it was so well written. second the story line was beautiful and last the narration was amazing Eboni in that mother voice is spot on.

Queen Move

Let me start off by stating the books that I have read by Kennedy Ryan never disappoint. I may not agree with how she tells the story and what I think should and shouldn’t happen but she always delivers a beautiful HEA in the end and #QueenMove is no different. I love the book & wish she would do a short story update of Ezra and Kimba life.

Reminded me of the show Scandal

Great book, couldn’t stop listening. The love making in this book was extremely intense and intimate. I’d recommend this book a million times!

Need a second book! Amazing

🎧 AUDIO REVIEW 🎧

AUDIO 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
BOOK 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

First of all the audio was brilliant as usual for Kennedy books and I couldn’t wait to keep listening each time I had to stop.

I loved their story, it showed me a lot about how things can be and how powerful women can be.

I loved their romance and felt so sorry for Ezra at points. If your looking for an amazing hero it is him, he sweet, sexy, loving, amazing dad and just couldn’t help love him.

The sweetest kind of love

Kimba & Ezra need their own series! They are officially one of my fave KR couples.
My god this was sooo sweet and cute, KR had me in my feels all the way!
And of course, Eboni Flowers & Jakobi Daaammmnnnn (because he’s that good) did an incredible job with the narration.

Worth it!

Loved it! The story, the characters. All of it! It’s worth the hours needed to listen to it. I just finished it and I wanna re-listen. This is my third Kennedy Ryan book and she hasn’t disappointed me why. An overall top tier experience.

Childhood love

It has been a really great story,the sadness and joy of these two people dealing with the rights of the people and there own life ,putting everything on hold for other things ,when they should have put themselves first.If I could have given you more stars I would have done 10

Very good book

I really enjoyed the book. The narrators were great, with each being able to do both male and female characters. I always knew which character was speaking. What I loved most was listening to actual strong women and not the supposed strong women in other books. By that, I mean the women in this book showed true strength and not stubborn for the sake of being stubborn and calling it strength. That is what made this book so enjoyable. For once, I did not find the heroine of a story annoying. This heroine was truly strong and a badass. And the hero was swoon worthy and loyal. Definitely a good read.

Amazing all around. Thank you.

I love this book from basically every angle. The writing is shockingly wonderful, and the narration, perfect. Thank you.

This story never gets old

I always enjoy revisiting it again and again. One if my top favourites from Kennedy Ryan

Wow,wow

it makes you laugh and cry like no other, 2nd chance at finding love.
thanks for letting me have this book xxx
