About this listen
With her best-selling mix of thrilling twists and characters to cheer for, Fern Michaels delves inside Washington, D.C.'s halls of power - and into the heart of an independent woman driven by passion and bound by duty.
Raised by her loving but eccentric aunt, former F.B.I. agent Quinn Star has always relied on herself - how else could she have survived the Bureau's old boys network, or navigated the heartbreak of a thwarted affair with her boss? Now Quinn risks her life every day in the Secret Service, protecting the First Lady of the United States. Only she can't safeguard her from the ruthless advisors intent on hiding the President's debilitating illness for their political gain. Suspecting a conspiracy that places the fate of the President, his wife - and the nation - on the line, Quinn whisks the First Lady out of the capital to her South Carolina home. But nowhere is truly safe from whoever is pulling the strings in a lethal game designed to keep Quinn from uncovering the truth. And no one can tell Quinn if she should risk her heart when a lover emerges from the shadows of the past....

But just as he’s about to reap the rewards of his skill and hard work by being featured on a major TV cooking competition, Mateo collapses in his restaurant’s kitchen—and regains consciousness in a hospital emergency room.

Great twist on the happenings in the White House. Have always loved how Fern Michels is able to put a smile on my face in the midst of something adverse taking place.

Good plot, however…
I was disappointed in the narrator. Previous books I have listened to by Fern Michael’s seemed like the narrators became the characters they were reading. This one did not. To monotone and not enough emphasis on particular situations. Tough FBI agents do not sound like scared little girls in my opinion

Ugggh
The worst narrator ever. I had to force myself to finish this book. The entire storyline is so lame...almost no action. Whole story could be told in an hour. The dialogue between characters is so lame...very teeny bopper-ish. The narrator smacks her lips, swallows loud and pauses inappropriately. I was breaking out in an anxious sweat.
