RELEASE BLITZ - Things I Wanted to Say by Monica Murphy

 

Things I Wanted To Say (But Never Did) by Monica Murphy is now live!

Whit Lancaster burst into my life like a storm. Dark and thunderous, furious and fierce. Cold, heartless and devastatingly beautiful, like the statues in our prep school gardens. The school with his family name on the sign. He can do no wrong here. This is his domain.

He's a menace on campus. Adored and feared. Hated and respected. His taunting words carve into my skin, shredding me to ribbons. Yet his intense gaze scorches my blood, fills me with a longing I don't understand.

When I stumble upon him one night alone, I find him broken. Bleeding. My instincts scream to leave and let him suffer, but I can't. I sneak him into my room. Clean him up. Fall for his lies. Let him possess every single part of me until I'm the one left a gasping, broken mess.

When he leaves me alone in the dead of night, he takes my journal with him.

Now he knows all my secrets. My hate. My truth. And he promises to use my words against me. I'll be ruined if my darkest secret gets out.

That's when I strike a bargain with the devil.

I'll let Whit Lancaster ruin me behind closed doors instead.

Agent Jonah Pratt heads the Secret Service team guarding the President’s husband. When a routine day turns into a dangerous assassination attempt, the stranger who dives into the melee and takes down the assassin complicates the situation, sparking Jonah’s anger.

Just back from multiple tours of duty in Iraq, Benji hides the fact that he brought the war home with him and that it continues to haunt him. His actions in stopping the would-be assassin are more instinct than strategy. And his first conversation with a furious Jonah doesn’t end well.

Losing a member of his team turns Jonah’s world upside down. And if Benji seems to know exactly what Jonah is experiencing, it’s because he went through the same thing in combat. Jonah’s work consumes him, leaving little room in his life for anything else, and Benji focuses on his studies, working to keep his nightmares at bay. But when they get together, Jonah and Benji recognize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for love and happiness—one worth fighting for.

Review 

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Damn! I don't know if I can even put into words how much I enjoy Love in the Line of Fire, the sequel to The President's Husband. Although a sequel, it focuses on a different couple, while still having appearances by Gray and David.

Michael Murphy's writing instantly draws me in with hot men, dangerous situations, fantastic story lines, and some hot sex.

Benji's a former Navy Seal who's now attending college where David, the President's Husband teaches. He's a broken men, full of guilt, a sense of failure, PTSD, and anxiety. The author excels in his description of the horrors of PTSD. Some scenes are truly heart-breaking.

Meeting Jonah is an extreme situation, the two get involved slowly, and in a wonderful manner. However, the fear of dating someone who's job involves taking a bullet to protect his charge is a struggle. With excellent writing, it's gritty, raw, and authentic. I love the angst in this book, as it's perfectly developed and absolutely realistic. 

I love this book. Love in the Line of Fire is both compelling and riveting, as well as mesmerizing. I enjoy the couple, their romance, and the angst. Michael Murphy excels in this tale of two men who can help heal one another.

With their world turned upside down, David relies on his career as a medical school professor and ER doctor to keep him grounded. But his decision to keep working ruffles feathers from day one.

Gray throws himself into learning everything he needs to know to be President, especially a liberal president surrounded by a conservative cabinet and staff. Even though he puts in outrageous hours working and traveling seven days a week month after month, he’s happy. But David has trouble coping with Gray’s new job requirements. He can’t help but feel abandoned by his husband of ten years.

When Gray asks for his help with a public-health crisis, David obliges, but he is furious about what happens once the emergency passes. When they learn that the President’s staff has manipulated them both, they wonder if their relationship can survive the White House. 




REVIEW
My Rating -  5 Stars!

The President's Husband is an intriguing and compelling read by Michael Moore. My only complaint is that I waited so long to read it.

From the very first page, I found myself completely hooked and could not put the book down.

When Gray is elected Vice President, he never expects to become President. When he is instantly thrown into that role, he has a lot to learn, and his whole life is about to change.

The story is told from Gray's husband, David's point of view. As much as things change for Gray, David is the one who is feeling the effects of these changes.Things are not easy for the couple, as Gray is suddenly never available to see David, let alone even talk to him.

As time goes on they discover that one of the staff is manipulating them and purposely keeping them apart, and decisions need to be made. If their marriage is to survive, some major changes will need to happen.

I love this story, and felt like I was experiencing everything along with David. I was sad, I was angry, I rooted for them and I cried for them. The entire book is so gripping, and so damn well written. It is such an emotional roller-coaster, full of angst, misunderstandings, deception and love.

I am absolutely blown away by how much I enjoyed The President's Husband. As this is my first time reading Michael Moore's work, I will definitely be checking out his other books!
