5 Star review of At The Pleasure of the President (The Perfect Gentlemen #5) by Shayla Black and Lexi Blake Although this can be read as a stand-alone, I would recommend you read the first four books. It will give you a better understanding and background to what is happening as there is a continuing story line throughout the books. This is a hard review to write as I do not want to give away any spoilers. I love an alpha male, add in a feisty heroine and I am there. The action is fast paced, I was on the edge of my seat and I read this book in almost one read. I just didn’t want to put it down; I had to know what happened! The suspense, drama, plot twists and turns had me totally enthralled and I found myself reading well in to the early hours of the morning. This is President Zack Hayes and Elizabeth (Liz) Matthews story and it was captivating to say the least. All of the Perfect Gentleman and their women come together to support Zack as they fight an enemy that is not only trying to destroy Zack but the very foundation of their country. The chemistry between Zack and Liz is electrifying and intense. Danger lurks around every corner as Zack and his fellow members of the Perfect Gentlemen Club continue their investigations till it reaches it’s explosive conclusion. Will Zack be able to make a choice between the woman he loves and the country that is his heart and soul? The continuity between the authors was seamless. I have no idea who wrote which part and honestly, it doesn’t matter; it was brilliant from start to finish. Superbly written, an outstanding read. Superbly written, an outstanding read. A fitting conclusion to one of my favourite romantic suspense series EVER.

Loved that we got a two-‘fer in this book! As one couple starts out, and makes horrible mistakes, well, he does, along the way, another that was ripped apart has to figure out how/if they can work things out. For every high one couple has, the other has a low. This had me in tears one moment, and laughing the next. A huge, and I mean huge, mystery is unraveled string by string, until the entire thing collapses in the floor as a mess in the last chapter. Even then, the myriad of pieces need to pulled out one by one to sort everything out At the heart of it all, the real story, are the friends you make, and their loyalty. The partners you choose, and their love. The fragility of human life, and the tenuous bonds that tie us together. The love you can’t control, and those you can’t live without. That, where once you had nothing, you now have a full, vibrant, life, surrounded by people you love, and who love you back just as much!
