Book Blurb

Honor and duty are not always black and white—and when self-styled patriots take up arms against the government, the price of honor may be a life.

Blair Powell and Jane Graves have much in common and even more that sets them apart in an invisible battle raging on home soil. Blair’s father is the president of the United States, while Jane’s is a domestic terrorist bent on bringing about a new world order at the expense of the present one. When Blair takes to the campaign trail to support her father’s re-election, Cameron Roberts and the newest members of Blair’s security detail must protect the president and his daughter from foes bent on revenge. Jane and her secret ally within the president’s inner circle vow to destroy them all, at any cost.

 

Book Review

This book is remarkably engaging as it thrillingly highlights the ever increasing suspense and threats against key people. The many folks identified are either protecting, reporting about, or attempting to kill POTUS, President of the United States, as he starts his reelection bid with a stunningly inspiring train ride through the heartland of America. On the threat side of the equation, there is a fabulously focused woman with serious schooling under her belt plus a nearly implacable single-mindedness on her mission. I found the time concentrating on the two intriguing couples along with the terrorist outstandingly fascinating in a manner I have never read before. It is a composite blending of love stories, and an amazingly well structured peril toward the highest level of government with an inside look at a woman instructed from birth and completely dedicated to what she, her family, and her followers feel is a freedom movement. Thoroughly spellbinding!

Technically the less significant couple within the big picture, but for me they are the more phenomenal, eye-opening, and stirring pair. One of the women is a new reporter on the White House beat for the Washington Gazette and the other woman is a relatively recent addition to the PPD, Presidential Protection Detail. Each woman is more than qualified to handle their new positions. However, they are extraordinarily open to a closer relationship that blossomed before my eyes during and after the reporter does a piece on the K9 division which focuses specifically on one team, Dusty Nash and her dog Atlas. The reporter, Vivian Eliot preferably Viv, is so startlingly polished, but marvelously poised and consistently develops a fantastic rapport with whomever she interviews. Dusty and Atlas are just startling and I was mesmerized. They are unquestionably an elite team stemming from an astonishing bond and impressive training. The story revolving around Viv and Dusty is so beautiful, enchanting, and deliciously hot. Yet this is just one of the many sub-plots supporting and expanding this captivating book putting it in a rarified spot...creatively conspicuous!

The primary couple is Blair and Cam. Blair is the president's daughter and Cam is her spouse. Right off the bat this means that the president is touring with his openly lesbian daughter and her partner. Spectacular! Blair is a rather complex woman with a bit of hair-trigger temper. Whether it is a campaign event or simply a presidential exposure outside of the White House, Blair feels fiercely constrained but at her core wishes to present herself as totally supportive of her father. Her marriage has undoubtedly given her an anchor, a focal point, and a wondrous expansion and foundation allowing her to perform her first daughter duties while reveling in her connection and love for Cam. Cameron Roberts is a secret service agent and that isn't going to change anytime soon, yet as Blair's wife she is primarily acting in an advisory capacity to the other PPD constituents. However, the political implications, the personal dynamics, and the ongoing preparedness to handle actual or possible threats overshadows everything all the time. It is a great change of pace and a super lovely encompassing scenario that Blair and Cam get to be so sensual in their alone times. In fact they are blisteringly hot on almost every possibly occasion. Their passion not only adds heat and dimension, but truly makes this couple luminescent. Nevertheless, as the president's train goes through some fairly conservative parts of the country, an openly lesbian couple within the first family definitely rattles some chains. Magnificently multi-layered!

This book is not to be missed. In fact, I cannot imagine anyone not finding something within it that charms and piques one's curiosity. Nevertheless, it is the astounding breadth, intricacy, and multiple lovers that simply blew me away. Dazzling and intense!
