I loved it, but it wasn't as great as the first one. The reason for this is pacing, everything seemed so rushed! This made the book seem shorter than it actually was, it also made me want more of Matt and Charlotte.

I stared this book immediately after finishing the first one and completely devoured it.
This didn’t have that great of a plot like Mr. President, it felt more like an extended epilogue of their story specially the second part but I was just so happy reading about them that it wasn’t an issue.

This book felt a lot more smutty and kinky and omg I enjoyed that very very much. Matt felt more dominant and in control

The reason I give this book 5 stars and not 4, is bc I've really missed LOVE in books. (read below)

First of all, the reason I wanted to give it 4 is bc I feel like there could've been a bit more tension or drama or a little bit more, a problem to be solved or something. In the story where I thought "oh now there's happening something" it had like 4 sentences and then got solved. And we could have seen Matt interact with junior a bit more, and a tiny bit more of his vulnerable side, although his eyes and words did tell everything he needed to. Then it maybe become a tad too lovy (if that's a word, lol), but I still liked it. OH and the thing with his father, I feel like it got brushed aside rather quickly, while I was waiting for a big thing, so that got me a bit down too, and wanted me to give the story 4 stars..

Katy Evans has in Mr. President and this book touched some of the issues around the world, which I'm a huge fan of. REALLY. I love Katy (the author) has written about her opinions towards there big issues that surrounds us on a daily basis. These are issues that, unfortunately, not everyone is thinking about, and just lives in a bubble. So thank you Katy, although i wasn't much, maybe it was enough for some to think a little bit more about our world problems.

So back to my first sentence of the review. I missed love. A good old love story. It was fun, sweet, exciting, vulnerable and very beautiful, starting from book 1. There wasn't any of the problems where they treated each other like absolute shit, which is amazing, bc it's actually really stupid when they do.... They straight up respected each other, loved so strongly although they had the whole countries burdens on their shoulders, especially Matt. That's why I gave it freaking 5 stars, bc it also was a really beautiful story, and I'm SOOOO in love with the president (Yes, Matt Hamilton)

(side note: I'm sorry Sin (yes, I'm talking about Malcolm Saint), Matt might have overshadowed you, but so you don't feel neglected, imma reread your story soon;))

Our Story of Matthew and Charlotte continues in Commander in Chief. Matthew has won the election and has been officially signed into office. He has many plans in place and many drastic changes, but his first priority is the woman he loved and had to let go. But after two months of not seeing her, not being around her he starts to realize a few things. One that he needs her and refuses to let her out of his life. That he will NOT become like his father and that he will be able to balance out being President and being the man she needs. And thus begins their story once again. Charlotte has just come back from a trip in Europe, but even though its been two months she doesn’t know if she can go on without him. Matt became her rock, and now she has to give him up until he comes to her all powerful and male—-seeking her willingness to take a chance on him. Matt and Charlotte have a road ahead that isn’t easy. But we see how they learn and grow together, how well matched they are especially in their desires for creating a better life for the American people that they now serve.

He’s the president now, but he’s still Matt. My first crush, my first love. And I know that after Matt, I’ll never want or love another man again

What a wonderful story Commander in Chief turned out to be. I was glad that I bought these two books together. As this was my first exploration into Katy Evan’s work, I was highly impressed and I can tell you I can’t wait to pick up her others books because WOW!!! She blew me away with this couple and their wonderful journey. What great emotion she shows here and what a romance. I honestly couldn’t put these two books down. Seriously I bought them last night. Read the first book all night and the second all this morning. That is how much I loved it, easily read in one sitting and not ones you want to put down for one minute. What was most impressive is seeing these two characters fit the story so perfectly well. I loved seeing them go from seeing them sacrifice and find their way back to each other and still doing what is right for America. Finding their happily ever after, a truly spectacular romance that is guaranteed to make you fall in love like it was the first time.

I’ll give you time to get used to all this, but I want to make it clear that you’re still mine. You never stopped being mine, and you never will

A raw emotionally charged romance that will tug at your heartstrings in the most sensational way imaginable!! A TRUE JEWEL!!

I was really, really, really hoping this book would be good but it just wasn't. Every time i thought of picking it up i just didn't want to and thought that maybe i would pick it back up later on. I've got to say that at the start of the book i was actually enjoying it but as it progressed it just got boring. All they do throughout the book, as far as i've read, is think about sex, have sex or talk about sex and i just couldn't stand it anymore. I would have rather only read the first one and leave this one alone. It was such a disappointment.

5 Presidential Stars
It always makes me so happy when a hugely anticipated release like this one ends up meeting all my expectations. This book was everything I wanted and more. It didn’t have a bunch of unexpected plot twists or huge surprises, but it was a fantastic conclusion to the White House duet nonetheless. Everything I loved about the first book was back in this one and then some. A hot, brainy, wholesome, virile hero, a likeable heroine, scorching hot sex. I want to lick my fingers.

Book one, Mr. President, deals with Matthew’s presidential campaign and his covert affair with his campaign aide, a former senator’s daughter, Charlotte Wells. I absolutely loved that first book. It was like nothing I’d read before and surprisingly, the whole presidential aspect worked extremely well as a romantic fantasy for me. In the end, though, things were uncertain between Charlotte and Matt considering his rise to power and what that meant for them as a couple.

In this second and final book, Matthew Hamilton is now the POTUS. He misses Charlotte and takes it upon himself to get her back so he can try his hand at both being the president and being a man as well. He wants to do it all despite his fears.

Gosh, I just really loved this duet. There was a lot of sex in it, I mean a lot, but it was all so blistering hot that I didn’t care. I normally dislike it when there is way too much focus on the sex scenes, but here I felt like I couldn’t get enough. Being in the shoes of a first lady of the United States was such a different and heady experience. I could feel every trace of awe and admiration Charlotte felt for Matt and that only made things hotter for me. It simply worked.

I don’t worry too much about the whole thing being unrealistic or a bit too predictable. Katy Evans’ writing is flawless here. It’s smooth and simplistic, perfect for what it’s trying to accomplish. It’s an unabashed fantasy, almost a fairytale.

I talked about it some with my husband, who is an avid action movie consumer (he loves Scandal and 24 and all that good stuff) and he did have a laugh at a bunch of situations that he considered completely preposterous. I giggled because even though he’s right, of course, this doesn’t claim to be accurate to real life. It’s just something to lose yourself in. It was so amazing to fantasize about being with the most powerful man in the world and live at the White House. I loved the glamour, the ceremony, the motorcades and balls and just everything that goes with it. Just sign me the heck up!

I adored this duet. It was like nothing I’ve read before and I highly recommend it. Katy, to me, is one of the best romance writers out there right now and this is a good example why.
5 stars!

ARC received in exchange for an honest review.

While Mr President, book 1 in this series, wasn't the greatest book, I still found it quite enjoyable to read. Commander in Chief, however, was a bit of a disappointment. It took me awhile to think and realize why this was the case, but I finally figured it out.

This book makes everything, including being President of the United States (!), way too easy.

The big draw from book 1 was the tension between Matt and Charlotte, as well as the stakes of the campaign. Even though you ultimately knew that Matt was going to win the election, it felt like he and his team really had to work for it. But in this book, despite having a great bit of dialogue where Matt explains how becoming President and learning confidential information can derail campaign promises, seems to magically be able to do everything he wants to. There is very little struggle and when it does happen, it feels forced a lot of the time.

Even the sex became easy and I found myself skipping scenes because I just wasn't into it anymore. And later in the book, the time jumps just heighten the feeling that this everything Matt and Charlotte touch just works out perfectly and it all just became a bit dull.

There were a few good things in this book - more POV from Matt was interesting, though I found him becoming a less compelling character due to the plot issues. And I did like that scene I mentioned before, focused on why some election promises die the day you're sworn in. But ultimately these don't pay off and, given that the previous book ended on a cliffhanger, I really can't recommend reading this series.

Well I love this series too much, Matt Hamilton will have my vote forever. It was sexy and a good conclusion to their story. Charlotte became an amazing First Lady and well find out the rest of the story. A must read and definitely another great success for Katy Evans, an author I will always one-click for her books.
