Name a better way to celebrate the 4th of July other than reading a romance between the president and a secret service agent? I liked the twist on the bodyguard trope. I will say this book did not need to be 400+ pages long. The first chunk of the book was quite slow paced which made it harder to get into the story. Things don’t pick up until around 75% in. I did enjoy the book. It’s balanced between pining/forbidden romance with sneaking around and a political espionage/treason plot line. I would recommend this book for someone looking for a books that is like The Bodyguard meets The West Wing with a dash of Scandal.
