Description from the publisher:
"Laurence’s tightly woven story
is a superb mix of sexual and political tension that’s certain to please fans
of both." -- Publisher's Weekly on The Kingmaker
She's the President of his heart.
A leader beloved by her nation.
Jessica Hampton is the heir to a political dynasty, and the first woman President of the United States. For six years she has given up everything in order to fulfill her late husband's legacy. But now, as her term in office draws to a close, she wants nothing more than to finish with the dignity her family demands. But when Jessica begins to negotiate an important Middle East accord with the sexy Egyptian Ambassador, being President takes a back seat to being a woman.
A man trapped on all sides.
Kamal Masri knows all about being an heir. He's not only Egypt's Ambassador to the US, he's the first-born son of one of the world's wealthiest men. Kamal's father has controlled his fortune, his career, and now possibly his life, because when the Egyptian parliament instructs him to negotiate an accord that threatens his father's illegal business dealings, all hell breaks loose. But as dark forces from the far side of the globe conspire to destroy the accord, Kamal is prepared to do whatever it takes to win Jessica's love. He'll fight to protect her, even from his own country.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is Jessica old enough to be the
president? I was preoccupied with the
details of her age at the time of her husband’s passing, how much time has
passed, etc., and trying to determine if she could have possibly been 35 when
she was elected! This is what happens
when a math nerd likes to read.
On the other hand, she is exactly
who so many wish actually was the 45th president of the United
States – empathetic, young, intelligent, and approachable. That is as political as you will ever hear me
get. Take what you will from that
statement.
Now, set that aside and let’s talk
about the romance and the old world chivalry of Kamal Masri. He is absolutely swoon-worthy. He is tall, dark, handsome, and has that tiny
silver earring in his left ear that brings on fantasies of swashbuckling on the
high seas. When it comes to a choice
between a cowboy and a pirate, I’m going to pick the pirate every time!
I have already listened to this
twice and I know that I will be pulling this series out to listen to again when
I am between available options. After
all, I still have a long commute every week and I want books that entertain and
delight. This series is my go-to.
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
