Madam President

I've read this book twice now and i adore it. I won't go into details about the actual storyline, see other reviews for one, I'll just tell you how the book made me feel. It made me feel like I feel when I'm in love. It made me feel that I'd somehow opened a window on someone else's world, a world that felt as real as my own. I couldn't put it down. It's a wonderful novel about a true deep abiding love between two women. A warm, funny, touching and wonderful hearwarming story that you just wish could be true. I loved the fact that you weren't presented with sex two pages in... infact there isn't really a full on sex scene in the whole book... that's not to say that I wouldn't have enjoyed some though, but somehow that just wouldn't have been right in this story. That's not to say that there wasn't attraction, there was and plenty of it, but the novel just didn't go the whole way into hot and heavy sex, (there are of course some introductory sex scenes but they are beautifully handled and somehow don't come across as just sex for the sake of it) and I for one thought it was wonderful. It allowed me to use my imagination and to really feel the characters emotions. I loved the way the women started out as stranagers, strangers with a strong attraction but strangers nervertheless. I loved the way the story brought the characters friendship and deep love, the type that we all long for but don't always find. I can't wait for the follow up FIRST LADY which I will buy asap. This story has pride of place on my bookshelf, buy it today and make it yours. You won't regret it.

I truly enjoyed this book. The two primary characters, Devlyn and Lauren, were priceless. Their connection was obvious from their first meeting, but the authors took their time in letting the relationship grow and deepen before it became physical. The sense of humor of both the characters was enjoyable and helped greatly anytime a situation was very serious and life-threatening become more bearable. The way the authors let Lauren's relationship with the President's children grow was very endearing. I would whole-heartedly recommend this book--once I finished it, I had to re-read it again immediately!!!

"I had the good fortune of receiving an advance copy of MADAM PRESIDENT, and I read it from cover to cover until the wee hours of the morning. It was one of those experiences where I sat for a lot of the time with a goofy grin on my face, and my partner kept asking what was so funny! I just couldn't help it--the story and the characters were entirely engaging! Devlyn Marlowe, the first lesbian in the White House, and Lauren Strayer, biographer extraordinaire, are on a collision course of epic proportions, and the Oval Office/White House setting is ripe for all sorts of plot machinations. T and Blayne do not disappoint! They pull off what I would call a blasted good read by keeping the narrative rolling and keeping the reader guessing. This one is destined to be a classic. I can only hope that there is a sequel to tell us more about the 2nd through 4th years of President Marlowe's term. Jolly good job!"
