robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2138 more book reviews


Sam and Nick are at a dinner party at a friend's house when breaking news interrupts their night out. President David Nelson had an affair with his campaign staffer Tara Weber. Even worse, Tara is now claiming that her newborn child was fathered by the President. Both Nick and Sam are hoping it isn't true. Nick is the current Vice President, and he really doesn't want to move up if the President resigns or is forced out of office. To make matters worse, a few days later Sam is given a homicide case that has ties to President Nelson.

I thought this was a lackluster addition to the series. There wasn't a lot of story to this one. Most of it was repetitive phrases and storylines. We kept going over everyone's reaction to the President's affair and the fact that the First Lady is "so nice". We also had Sam's grief over losing her father, her threats of using a rusty steak knife on several people, and Nick and Sam putting the kids to bed and how lucky they are to have them in their lives. I hope the next book in the series has a little more originality. My rating: 3 Stars.
