Lorelei has
been in love with Griff Nyle since she was a young girl. Griff,
however,
doesn’t feel the same way. He can’t stand anything about Lorelei,
beginning
with her fiery red hair. He has harbored a hatred for redheads nearly
his
entire life. This is one redhead that he can’t avoid though. He has to
marry
her, for his political career. Her father is sponsoring him running for
the
presidency, and Lorelei, being a southern Senator’s daughter, is the
perfect
candidate for the First Lady. Well, Griff might be forced to marry her,
but he
doesn’t have to love her. Being married will not make him faithful. He
will
continue to indulge his taste for women, whenever and wherever he
wants. He
could care less what Lorelei thinks….until his penchant for women gets
him into
trouble, and could quite possibly destroy the very marriage that he
didn’t
want, and the woman who stands behind him.
ROGUE
PRESIDENT is a darkly erotic tale that deals with politics, sexual
deception,
suspense, and of course, love. Griff, by no coincidence resembles
someone that
held the political limelight in the United States for quite a few years.
He has an
addiction to illicit sex, women, and the darker side of life. Lorelei,
on the
other hand, is the portrait of the perfect wife. She stands behind
Griff no
matter what he does, even if his actions result in heartbreak for her.
ROGUE
PRESIDENT is a gripping read that is dark, intense, and erotic. Readers
will
hate Griff, while falling in love with him. His attempts at bettering
himself,
while falling prey to his own inner demons, touched a soft spot with
me. I
found myself torn between wanting to rescue him, and slapping him for
being
such an idiot. In spite of his idiocy, Griff is a completely likeable
character
that also has redeemable qualities.
Ms. Godwin does a
remarkable job of writing
a novel that centers on politics, and political scandals, and still
incorporates romance and love.
