The sizzling second installment of the White House series, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.

We fell in love during the campaign.

The stakes were high.

Reputations could have been ruined.

Scandal hovered over us like a cloud.

Now the man I love is the President of the United States of America.

Contains spoilers to book one, Mr. President. 

Matthew Hamilton is now the forty-sixth President of the United States. But while succeeding at his goal to be elected, he lost the woman he loves. Charlotte was there for him during the campaign and played a big role in his winning. But his win meant her loss. Their affair was intense and passionate, but ended when he won. He had his reasons to worry about a relationship while in the White House and he let her go. She had her own, and believed in his cause. They separated, but it did not change their feelings.

And now two months later, it is time to face each other again at Inauguration time. Matt's determined that he will win her back and find a way to fit her into his life. They have such chemistry, passion, and strong feelings. He comes up with an idea that opens the chance for her to be with him and make a difference. But it would take a leap of faith. 

Can they overcome their fears and build something more that will eventually be accepted by the public?

This story is about Matt and Charlotte's adventures in the White House. We go behind closed doors and are privy to the inner workings of their relationship, the oval office, and politics. They inspire each other to be their best. They have common goals and strive to make the world a better place. And they are just trying to hold onto each other amidst chaos. I loved them in the first book and that continued through out this one as they continued to grow, change, and come into their own.

They deal with choices, priorities, and sacrifices in the name of love, family, and country. It shows their strength, character, morals, and determination to follow through on their promises. They work tirelessly. They live in the public eye and privacy is difficult. They are pulled in many directions. Threats could be lurking anywhere and they cannot control the outside world. Their agendas not only affect them personally, but the country as a whole. It is a lot of pressure on a young couple with big ideas and lofty goals. 

This is the rest of their story...love, passion, joy, tension, and danger set among a world of politics. Matt is determined to be the kind of leader America needs...honest, strong, personable, intelligent, and truly concerned about the people and the country. And Charlotte is tenacious, smart, caring, and motivated enough to want to stand by his side. But they also have personal lives they want to live behind closed doors. And we are there to experience it all with them. It is sweet, hot and steamy, intriguing, emotional, and it really just makes me wish that they were real.

I was gifted a review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Kim's 4.5 star review

He's won the hearts of millions. But is he willing to lose his?

I met the president's son when we were both young. Matthew Hamilton was handsome, polished, and intelligent. I'd never met a guy like him.

He promised me that he'd never run for president. I promised that if he did, I'd be by his side.

Three terms later, an invitation to join Matthew Hamilton's campaign is the most exhilarating opportunity I've ever experienced. I'm determined to make a difference; he is determined to win.

Focused on his goal, Matt is steadfast, ruthless, and disarming. All eyes are on him and his popularity is surging. But soon, the next possible president of the United States is possessing me in more ways than one--and despite the risks, I'm helpless to resist.

We're stealing touches, stealing moments, and stealing away at night. But our chemical connection is quickly becoming dangerously combustive, putting not only my heart, but Matt's chance at the presidency on the line.

Winning will take everything. Walking away will be the hardest thing of all.
