Everyone makes mistakes, especially in college. But when you’re the daughter of the President of the United States, any little slip up is a huge embarrassment. Maddie McGuire’s latest error in judgment lands her in police custody, giving the press a field day. Agreeing to do community service as penance and to restore her tattered reputation, Maddie never dreams incredibly good looking but extremely annoying vice president’s son, Jake Simmon, will be along for the ride.
Recently returning from Afghanistan with a life-altering injury, Jake is wrestling with his own demons. He doesn’t have the time or patience to deal with the likes of Maddie. They’re like oil and water and every time they’re together, it’s combustible. But there’s a thin line between love and hate, and it’s not long before their fiery arguments give way to infinitely sexier encounters.
When Jake receives devastating news about the last remaining member of his unit, the darkness he’s resisted for so long begins to overwhelm him. Scared to let anyone close, he pushes Maddie away. But she isn’t about to give up on Jake that easily. Maddie’s fallen for him, and she’ll do anything to keep him from the edge as they both discover that love is a battlefield and there are some fights you just can’t lose.

When you first meet Maddie McGuire, you might think she’s just like every other college student who wants to make the world a better place. Her current situation, recently being arrested for breaking into a facility where they do testing on animals, puts her in a bit of a pickle. See, she’s not like other girls. She’s the daughter of the President of the United States of America. And her mistakes end up all over the news and cause her father a lot of embarrassment.
Jake Simmon has recently returned from Afghanistan with injuries that have forever changed him physically and mentally. His mother, the current Vice President and candidate for the Presidency, is determined to use him to her advantage in any way that she can. Jake, however has plans of his own and that’s to bring attention to the needs of other returning veterans.
I love book where characters have some history, it really adds to a story and makes quick reads like this one and the connection between the characters a bit more believable for me. For Maddie and Jake, there are some hard feelings on Maddie’s behalf and initially she finds it hard to forget what he did to her, but despite her anger and irritation with him, she finds that he’s also a bit irresistible. Plus the chemistry between Jake and Maddie was electric and I truly enjoyed watching their relationship grow. Chase writes some steamy and sexy scenes!
I actually really liked Maddie, she was warm and genuine with those she truly cared for. I loved her relationship with her father and would have really even loved seeing more of them together. Jake’s mom on the other hand… I can’t remember reading about a recent character that I hated more. Her biggest issue is what she sees growing between Jake and Maddie because despite who Maddie’s father is, she feels that she really has nothing to offer Jake.
Jake like I said, is pretty charming. He’s almost hard to resist, but he has some inner demons that he’s still trying to work through. I thought that Chase did a really good job of showing the effects of PTSD and she really didn’t sugar coat the issues that survivors and servicemen returning home have to deal with. A lot of it was heartbreaking, but a lot of it was very hopeful and great to read!
Overall a wonderful read full heartbreak and hope and a story that you maybe weren’t expecting. I know I wasn’t, but I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from Chase.
Thank you to the publisher for the early copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.
