“Embry holds my husband’s heart in his hands and he doesn’t even know it. He’s too busy looking at the details of Ash’s faces to see the expression, too busy being in love to see how loved he is.”
“I’m not asking either of you,” my husband answered sharply. “I expect you to mount her. I expect you to fuck her. I expect you to make her come. And I expect her to let you.”
“The little prince in the book is so wise but so sad. Has so much to offer this world and yet he can’t stop pining for the one he loves.”
Colchester looked right into my eyes and I could not look away.”
“It was the purest heavens in the midst of the worst hell, and I loved every minute of it, even though it was all underpinned by a lie--my lie—and I knew one day it would burn down around me.”

I've suspended disbelief.
Scandal, the TV show, appears more realistic than this book. That scene at Melwas's fortress, when Embry agrees to have sex with Greer has to be the most nonsensical plot manipulation ever. Of course, we KNOW now why the author wrote it as such.
Pure, unadulterated, BS.

This book will not pass close scrutiny. There's a good story there I'm sure but it's lost in the narrative, and being in Embry's head is disturbing.
Considering he was my favourite character in American Queen, I find it hard to reconcile this version of him to whom we met in the first serial.
Additionally, it's a bit alarming that the FLOTUS could be so easily taken. There is no way that the President, his Vice, and the First Lady would not have perimeters of secret service protection.
With so much going on, the amount of space dedicated to the sex scenes is disproportionate and distracting. In fact, the many smex scenes left me unmoved and disengaged.
Would someone please explain how Greer turned into a TSTLF?
“Is it ruined? Did I ruin it?”
