When the free world is under attack and the VP is all that America has left, keeping her alive is the one job John Franzen needs to do. But Tracy, being the VP and a single mom does not go into hiding without putting up her own fight. But when sparks fly and passion ignites will the two continue to fight with each other in a power struggle or give into finding love in the wrong place at the wrong time? This book had me on the edge of my seat from the first few pages and I could not put it down until it was complete. Angel Payne has a way of making the reader feel like they are walking though danger with the characters and are feeling the same angst and horror through out the storyline. This is one of the best series I have had the pleasure to read and cannot wait for more!!

Holy hell was this book ever good!! Filled with suspense, mystery, action, emotion, sexy scences and smoking hot chemistry between John and Tracy made the book such a awesome read. Took my time reading it as I didn't want it to end. Loved every single bit of it, highly recommend!!!

Yet again, Angel Payne proves to me she cannot write a bad story. The author is flawless. Honest. She cannot write a bad book in my opinion, and Ruled was no exception.
Angel is known for her HOT, kindle melting, intense romances and this was no different.
I’ll admit I was late to the party when it came to the Honor Bound series. It was a series that I kept saying I would start next, but would end up reading something else. I fully regret waiting. Like really really regret it! I don’t know what took me so long to start this series! I’m now a complete sucker for a good, hot and kinky military/action story and Angel Payne specialises in them with this series!
Ruled is book 10 in the Honor Bound series, and has now become my favourite. It’s not a short read, and it’s not a light read. It’s intense and it consumes you from page one in all the right way. It’s kinky as hell, anyone that knows me, knows how much I like my kinky reads. But it’s not just about sex. She brings more to a story. She throws you into a plot with so many twists and turns that it’ll have your heart pounding, your body squirming, and your mind totally captivated.
Book 10, well damn. How do I put this in to words?
HOT, HOT, HOT.
Action packed.
Intense.
Addictive.
Flawless.
Those are just a couple of words on how to describe this book.
John? Hot, intense, alpha dom that worked for the First Special Forces, but now is back on home ground and trying to live a somewhat normal life and his assessment now is to look after the biggest politicians in the country, VP Tracy Rhodes. Seems easy right? WRONG! Never in his life did he expect to want this woman. A submissive that his dominant side wanted nothing more than to bring to her knee before him.
Tracy? She’s a delight. Strong, independent, and worldly. But behind the mask she wears for the world, is a woman craving the touch of a dominant man. So when John comes waltzing into her life. It’s the beginning of an insanely intense and all consuming love story.
This book had it all. Humour, action, steam, passion, suspense, thrill.. and there were a few moments in the book that I found myself with silent tears running down my cheeks.
Will Tracy be able to tame this Wild boy? Will she capture his heart? Will he be what Tracy has been longing for?
I guess you’ll have to read to find out!
Absolutely loved this book and reading Johns story. I highly recommend this book!
It’s a 5 Star from me!!

The men of Honor Bound always leave me wanting more, and I'm happy to say that Angel signed on for two more books in the series!
I'm so glad we finally got Franzen's story! And equally as glad that he met Tracy. This story is such a suspenseful, dramatic addition to the series, and I loved every minute of it.
The ROMANCE in Ruled is unlike any of the others. It's as unique as the characters and I found it really helped me understand the BDSM dynamic.
If you are late to the Angel Payne train, it's not too late to hop on! Start with the Honor Bound series today!

Are you seeking a political thriller that is also romance and is super hot and spicy? Well, that's oddly specific BUT YOU FOUND IT!
Ruled by Angel Payne is a delightful thrill ride with lots of sex, a bountiful amount of politics and enough angst to blow up a high school. Seriously, it's kinda amazing how much was fit into this book!
Tracy Rhodes is the Vice President/second in command. She's got a pretty powerful position and she's one strong woman! Then walks in one hunk of a man and within a blink of an eye the two are totally hot for each other. Seriously, the sexy vibes go WAY up the minute they start talking. It's quite the sight. John Franzen is the man we are talking about, and he just takes the cake for his rough and tough demeanour.
This story is entertaining and mighty smutty. I feel like I needed to read some of the past books to understand this one though. I felt very confused on what was going on. It's still a great book though!
Two out of five stars - solely because I needed to read the prior books and I seem to be veering away from this genre? The book is great, but not for me.
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

Sex. Politics. Corruption. Conspiracies. Mass murder. Have I caught your attention yet?
Tracy was many things... Widow. Mother. Vice President of the United States and future leader of the free world... or what was left of it anyway. John's resumé was nothing to sneeze at either - Former soldier. Honorable man. Newly hired muscle to protect the VP at all costs. Oh and he was one gorgeous AF Dominant.
It takes just one moment to throw the world into chaos and to change everything you used to know. Tracy's life was in more danger than ever and John was willing to do whatever it took to protect her and her son from harm. I think he was halfway hoping to protect his heart in the process.
Nice try there, John. This story was a journey of intrigue and sexual awakening, at least for Tracy. There was nothing hotter than John in crisis mode except for maybe whenever he spent intimate time with her. Watching these two fall in love amidst the dangers that surrounded them simply added another layer of dimension to this book, giving me a much needed break from the drama. I loved every interaction they shared, especially when Tracy got all sassy.
These characters were not only beautiful together, they were also erotically satisfying in so many good and sexy ways. Angel Payne created an entertaining story with people I couldn't help but be invested in, rooting for their happy ending right from the start.
