President Jack Spiers and former Secret Service Agent Ethan Reichenbach throw caution to the wind, committing themselves publicly as the first out male lovers and partners to occupy the White House. Jack moves Ethan into the Residence, but as Ethan settles into his new role as first gentleman of the United States, not everyone is thrilled with their choices. When it seems like the world turns against them, Jack and Ethan must turn to each other, finding the strength together to press on.

As the mad general draws new allies together, he is single-minded in his quest to destroy the only two men who ever beat him. He will stop at nothing until Jack and Ethan are shattered men, worlds apart, and struggling to get back to one another. And after that, Madigan's true revenge begins...

this was a rideee
there's so much action and double the romantic tension in book 1. general madigan and his spies are everywhere while jack, ethan & sergey's allies are steadily losing ground, in the midst of public disfavor.
there are explosions and shootings and chaos almost every chapter of the book - i read for stress relief and this decidedly does not make me less tense. i binged the book and that cliffhanger-
sigh. on to the third book i go!
honestly i was so mad at jack at first after leslie resurfaced but he definitely wanted to stay with her not because of love but more of loyalty to his marriage vows and guilt soooo jack was likely going to make amends and choose ethan
but not gonna lie the writing was slightly questionable solely because of one sentence:
โfeel the slick, hot slide of someone's eyeballs against his skinโ
what - no one's gaze is going to feel so physically slimy like that
I was expecting thrills and action and a lot of love. I got it all but I also got some of the most emotional moments of the whole series. OMG did I cry a lot when brutal circumstances separate my two favorite heroes. But their love is their strength and I'm in love with their love story ๐๐ I also liked getting to know more about Sergey and Adam.
The stakes are even higher in this one and the action sequences had me panicked all the time. There is also quite a lot of suspension of disbelief that is required to truly enjoy this book. But this was truly an intense book, much more so than what I expected.
