Reviews

[Romance Schmomance]

Sooo, I definitely didn't realize this was the second book in the series, but I think I managed to get by without reading the first one. I admit that this was my first read with a political figure; the president to be exact, which made it a little tougher for me to get into. I wasn't sure if I could see the appeal in a president romance.

Being a single president to take office was a unique aspect already, but appointing Charlotte as the first lady that was something else entirely. From the beginning, we see that it has been some time since they've seen each other. The tension between the two is already building so much that they were bound to explode once they finally saw each other. And that they did!

Once he takes office, besides running the country he wants nothing more than to claim Charlotte once and for all. She is his end game and will do anything to get her there.

Matthew Hamilton is quite the man to swoon over, but I can't say this has completely turned me onto political romance novels. Evans did a wonderful job captivating her readers and twining these two so effortlessly. Matt and Charlotte complemented each other so well, it'll definitely make you wish for someone like these two in the real world.

I definitely recommend this book, plenty of love to go around and some mile high club action *wink wink*.

Book two starts off two months after Matt wins the presidency. Charlotte has been in Europe trying to mend her broken heart and Matt has come to a decision concerning his and Charlottes relationship. No longer willing to live without her Matt puts a plan in motion to win her back and keep her forever.



I enjoyed this one just slightly less than I did the first book. It was missing some of the "illicit affair-falling in love" vibe that the first book had and dragged a little for me especially towards the end. This was more a smooth sailing on EVERY front book. And although not a bad thing by any means, I think a little bit more angst or drama or something would have livened this one up for me. It was also very fast moving in terms of their relationship and his years in office. A little TOO fast at times that took away a TINY bit from the relationship for me.

That said, I still enjoyed the heck out of it. It was super sweet and sexy as f@ck. Both characters were very likable and considering politics usually bores me to tears, the author managed to keep me interested through two books loaded with it. So two thumbs up from yours truly.
