Ya’ll are not ready for this!!!!
**Must read Money Man and Queen of Men before**
Kalen and Turner combine with Kalen’s associates (Griff) and a friend of Bailey’s (Matt – aka Lizzy’s twin) to figure out what happened to Bailey and who has made her disappear without a trace. They know that once Bailey is found (if ever), she will have to make a choice between the two men that she loves and which way of life she wants. Kalen does finally admit that he has stronger feelings for her than any woman he has ever been with (including Gabe’s mom).
Oh two more thing, Kalen’s accent….swoon
And Kalen’s son, Gabe, comes across as such a cutie with unconditional love for everyone.
King Maker is the gripping conclusion to King Maker series. After that ending in Queen of Men, I couldn’t wait to jump in and find out what was going to happen. This story picks up right where it was left off, it’s fast paced, intriquing, and the twists and turns kept me guessing till the end. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. I was pulling for Bailey and Kalen, they didn’t have a easy journey, and at times they were just so frustrating. If you haven’t started reading the King Maker Series, what are you waiting for?

Great conclusion to a sizzling series!! Loved getting more of Kalen and Bailey! Loved watching the push and pull between them. I enjoyed that the story didn’t happen so quickly but took time to get where it did at the end. I was glad to see the characters grow and change over time especially Bailey. I wasn’t sure how things would go but I enjoyed the ride. Lots of twists and turns going on and at times I got confused and lost but I kept on reading. Answers to questions I had but then at times I felt some went unanswered. I’m not sure if it’s meant to be that way or if it’s leading to new books. Read this trilogy now!
I have been impatiently waiting for the conclusion to the King Maker trilogy, and I was not disappointed. By the end of book 2 I was a little disillusioned with Bailey, and the whole Turner thing. I was thinking there would be no chance of the epic love I wanted for Bailey and Kalen. I was damning Terri to hell for putting me through the ringer, and I was shouting at my kindle. Well, the same can be said for the first few chapters of book 3. I wanted to bang Bailey and Kalen’s heads together, they couldn’t see the wood for the trees. Kalen however, was so protective and alpha, he made my heart melt. Brilliant characters, a story that was addictive, thrilling, exciting and unpredictable. A true whodunnit. Oh, and don’t forget the family drama, there’s lots of it. Along with sexy time, what a combustible couple they are. I loved it. I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest review.

5 Stars
Oh my stars!! What a terrific, wonderful, amazing, captivating, and very emotional roller coaster!! It is a very enjoyable love story!
“It isn’t. Father’s pissed, but he’s the King Maker and wants you here.”
“This woman got me, had me. She held my heart and could utterly destroy me. Still, I trusted her unreservedly.”
This is not a standalone. Have to read the series in order! I absolutely love it in every way!
Bailey and Kalen finally got their HEA but damn it wasn’t an easy road. My goodness the twists and turns that they had to endure would have you asking yourself now what is next?!?!?! Their love story was epic and full of lots of emotions and characters that were just trying to make things difficult. They didn’t know who to trust and who was for them or not. It was so much to these two. Bailey at times it felt like a love triangle. Some times I wanted her to choose Turner but then the great lengths that Kalen went for her I was Team Kalen. These two bickered up until their epilogue and it was still entertaining and beautiful. Some of the characters weren’t what I expected and I was wrong about some of them. Great trilogy!!!
Bailey is in danger and Kalen is trying to save her but will he get her in time? How will it change how they feel about each other? Two men want Bailey but who will she choose?
This is a MUST READ trilogy that has to be read in order. This final book had me on the edge of my seat more than the others. Every time I thought I knew what/who – bam – Terri throws another twist and has me going crazy. I loved every single bit. It’s a beautiful love story full of surprises with characters that now have a special place in my heart. Kalen and Bailey have amazing chemistry that had me praying for them every step along the way. I’m so excited for Lizzie’s story next. Terri surprised me again with who her story is with. I would love stories for Bailey’s sisters and her ex Turner because I love them all and can’t get enough!!! Fingers crossed for that! I will never miss a book by Terri, she has a way with words that gives me the best emotional ride with all the feels every single time.
This trilogy was an epic emotional rollercoaster I soon won’t forget. I’ve been utterly consumed by this captivating and suspenseful story and it’s intriguing and multi-facated characters. Every time I finished an installment I was left with my jaw on the floor impatiently waiting and begging for the next one. I had high expectations for the conclusion and let me tell you that Terri E. Laine has delivered. Her exceptional writing shines on every single page. She is truly a very gifted author who knows how to catch a reader’s interest.
There was so much going on in King Maker. All these various twists and turns made my head spin at times. It really made it hard to gauge in which direction the story was going and what to expect next. It was certainly a great challenge to develop the plotline further while simultaneously showing the emotional turmoil of the characters. Some things that happend made me deliriously happy and swoon hard while others left me a little bit frustrated. But that’s what a really good book usually does to you – make your feel!
The important key message of this trilogy is that love is never easy but always worth fighting for. We sometimes make mistakes in the name of love because it often makes us blind and also at times stupid. But loving means also being able to forgive. And I’m definitely not only talking about romantic love. That’s something the protagonists of this story will learn the hard and painful way.
Even after 3 installments I still can’t get enough of Bailey Glicks and Kalen King. These two have phenomenal chemistry that simply gives you goosebumps and makes your breath hitch. The passion burns hot between these two since both are strong, proud and stubborn characters. Bailey has always been a beacon of light and hope for a desperate man like Kalen who wanted to escape the darkness in his life and give it a new purpose. Every time Kalen talked to Bailey in his Scottish accent and used Gaelic endearments I melted like ice cream in the sun. This man is without a doubt the ultimate alluring Alpha romance hero. I absolutely adored sweet and caring Turner too and completely understood why Bailey loved him. It was really hard to choose between these men.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic trilogy and recommend it from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Terri E. Laine for this exhilarating and intense ride. It was absolutely worth it! 4.5 stars
After the jaw dropping cliffhanger at the end of Queen of Men, I was impatiently waiting for Terri E Laine to give us the final story and conclusion to the King Maker series. I loved the previous two books beyond words and desperately needed to know what will happen with Bailey. And most of all with whom she’s going to end up with: Turner, her childhood friend and first love, or the enigmatic Scottish billionaire Kalen who ignited passion inside her like nobody else before? It was really hard to pick a side, because both men were amazing in their own way.
A lot of things happend in this book. There were several twists and turns that were sometimes hard to follow and made my head spin! But that didn’t stop me from reading and enjoying this book. Terri’s exceptional writing kept me on my toes and speculating who’s behind the fraud at Kings Enterprises and if these people were the same who tried to get rid of Bailey? The men in her life truly had their hands full trying to keep her safe. But danger was around every corner, serving one blow after the other. Poor Bailey couldn’t catch a breath! I just wanted her to be safe and happy and for the bad guys to get caught and put into jail!
I really need a HEA after all this emotional roller-coaster. Luckily Terri didn’t let me down and delivered an unputdownable, sexy and entertaining story! I won’t give away who Bailey chose, you need to find it out on your own. But be assured that she ended up with the right guy, the one who loved her and was ready to risk everything for her. Honestly, they were always meant for each other and had the most scorching chemistry ever! Every intimate scene between them was so damn hot, my kindle was ready to burst into flames.
Thank your dear Terri for writing such an amazing and highly addictive series with the right mix of sex, suspense and angst, that is without a doubt one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to read! I’m crossing my fingers for Bailey’s bestie Lizzy to get her own story! That girl is such a loyal, great friend all of us would love to have in our corner.
Now please do yourself a favor and pick up this series! Let this amazingly talented author take you on a ride you won’t soon forget. 4,5 stars
What a roller-coaster ride!
The third installment in this series continues as fast-paced, suspenseful and twisted as the previous two. It’s page-turning from start to finish and I had a very hard time putting it down to participate in daily life!
The characters, main and side, sparkle with life and have gained another jota of depth, although that seemed impossible at first. What is it about a rough Scotsman who growls in his Scottish brogue and is possessive, especially when he is named Kalen …? And in Bailey he has found his perfect match and counterpart.
At times I wanted to shake some sense into their stubborn skulls, but somehow they made up for their stubbornness by being so perfect for each other.
And don’t forget Gabe, the little mini-Kalen, who is as charming as his dad and so cute that I just wanted to hug him and steal him for myself.
King Maker is the picture-perfect conclusion of this awesome series! And I can’t wait for Connor and Lizzie’s story!
The conclusion to this story was so good!
After the cliff hanger at the end of Queen of Men we get Kalen & Bailey’s HEA and it was perfect
The Scottish banter also had me laughing so much while reading the story! I love everything Terri writes and this trilogy was no exception, do yourself a favor and dive in!
What an EPIC conclusion to wrap up a phenomenal trilogy!!
Kalen and Bailey’s story is full of delicious, raw, gritty, and so much addictive angst. Although as an addict of books, there is no other choice but to keep reading!
Through their journey you find yourself loving and often times hating some of the characters, as well as their choices. This story is full of so many ups and downs, and the suspense will keep you guessing!
In the end can Kalen find and protect Bailey? Does Bailey even want to be found? There are so many hidden secrets just waiting to be discovered.
Just like a game of chess, no one really knows what will happen until the ultimate checkmate.
This is an absolutely beautifully written story! Forever will this trilogy be marked in my mind as one of the top favorite series out there! Don’t waste any time, grab your copy today!
