There’s no turning back. I can’t go home a failure–again. Everyone wants to use me, make me their pawn, but I have other plans. I will win this election or die trying.
Randi Sawyer
It started with a shady business proposal I should’ve turned down. Now here I am pretending to be someone I’m not, and bonus, I’m at the mercy of a man whose joy comes from my failures. The deeper I sink into DC’s seedy political scene the more I realize I can’t trust anyone if I’m going to make it out alive. Until him. Secret Service agent Trey Benson is bitter, jaded, and oh so hot with his mischievous smirk and cocky attitude. He hates me, just like everyone else, but he might just be who I need to survive this mess I’ve landed myself in.
Trey Benson
Forced onto her protection detail, I’m certain she’s just another Political Barbie in this city. I should know–I’ve dated most of them. Except she’s not. Funny, foulmouthed and crazy as hell, not to mention drop-dead gorgeous, Randi Sawyer just might be the one person who can make a difference in DC–and in me. Too bad the boss says she’s off-limits, that it’s too risky for her career and mine. Good thing I’ve never been great at sticking to orders.
Power Play is the first book in the five-book Power Play series. Each book cannot be read as a standalone. All five books follow one main couple’s relationship as it grows through a five-year time period. It’s suspenseful, steamy, and oh so unputdownable. If you’re a fan of Tiffany Snow, Meghan March, and Skye Warren then this series is for YOU!
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Oh my goodness, y’all! Power Play by Kennedy L. Mitchell has me reeling and I can’t wait to see where things go with the political thriller aspect as well as the romance aspect between Randi and Trey!
Power Play did a great job of setting up the series and foreshadowing what could potentially happen throughout the rest of the series, but that’s not to say that this story wasn’t action packed. With it being a political romantic thriller you are automatically thrust into the seedy underbelly of DC where nothing is exactly what meets the eye.
Randi, is a brilliant woman from Texas who is a wild card and not your typical politician, she’s already dealt with blackmail, sabotage and so much more and that’s just book one! The entire story had me excited about what’s to come and a bit on edge because we can only trust one or two people in Power Play.
There was one part of the story that had me wanting to close my eyes because I could feel that something was about to happen but I wasn’t sure exactly what that would be and my goodness. It. Was. Intense.
I can’t wait for the next book in the Power Play series and to watch more of the story unfold!
