From the New York Times bestselling author of Suddenly Royal comes the first in a sparkling new series about America’s favorite royal—the First Daughter.
Everyone makes mistakes, especially in college. But when you’re the daughter of the President of the United States, any little slip up is a huge embarrassment. Maddie McGuire’s latest error in judgment lands her in police custody, giving the press a field day. Agreeing to do community service as penance and to restore her tattered reputation, Maddie never dreams incredibly good looking but extremely annoying vice president’s son, Jake Simmon, will be along for the ride.Recently returning from Afghanistan with a life-altering injury, Jake is wrestling with his own demons. He doesn’t have the time or patience to deal with the likes of Maddie. They’re like oil and water and every time they’re together, it’s combustible. But there’s a thin line between love and hate, and it’s not long before their fiery arguments give way to infinitely sexier encounters.When Jake receives devastating news about the last remaining member of his unit, the darkness he’s resisted for so long begins to overwhelm him. Scared to let anyone close, he pushes Maddie away. But she isn’t about to give up on Jake that easily. Maddie’s fallen for him, and she’ll do anything to keep him from the edge as they both discover that love is a battlefield and there are some fights you just can’t lose.

My Review:
I was given the chance to review this book and considering Nichole Chase is one of my favourite authors I jumped at the chance.
I'm not the biggest fan of the cover as for me it just doesn't work with the novel. I do like the colours that have been used but I think I would've preferred it in black and white.
As soon as I started reading this book I just new I was going to love it as right from the beginning I was hooked and I stayed hooked until the very end. I liked that it wasn't mainly focused on politics as not being from America I could've easily got confused but thankfully that wasn't the case and even when there was politics involved I understood what was going on. The relationship between Maddie and Jake was great as I loved their interactions between one another and I felt their chemistry was off the charts. One of the things that I loved most about this book was the after effects of being injured in action as I felt it was very delicately done and I even forgot until it was mentioned. I found that I felt so many emotions throughout this book as I would one minute be laughing and in the next moment I was nearly in tears. The ending ended perfectly and has made me eager to read the rest of the series.
I pretty much loved all the characters with a couple of exception but that was because of the way that they treated the other characters. When I first started reading this book I wasn't sure I was going to like Maddie or even Jake but by the end I loved them both. I felt Maddie really grew as a person throughout this book and I found myself routing for her. Jake had a lot of things that he had to get through so there was times when he wasn't the kindest person but I was able to forgive him as I felt that I was able to understand where he was coming from. I loved Jake's sisters and I hope they get their own book as I can't wait to get to know them even better. The people that really stole the show was seeing Sam and Alex from Suddenly Royal with a new addition it was great to have a bit of catch up from them as I felt it tied a few loose ends from the Suddenly Royal series.
Overall, this was an amazing read that had everything that I could've ever wished for I just hope the rest of the series is just as good.

Excerpt:
“What?” I looked at him as if he was crazy.
“You need help.” He shrugged. “I’ll help.”
“No, it’s okay. I’ll be fine.” I shook my head a little too hard and my pony tail whipped me in the eye. I grimaced and blinked back tears. “Ow!”
“Here—“ Jake pressed something to my eye. “It’s no big deal. This is what friends do, right?”
“You’re still on probation—“ I snapped and batted away his hand. That’s when I realized he had lifted his shirt to wipe away my tears, exposing a wide expanse of well-muscled abdomen.
“Then I still need to work it off.” He smiled at me and my frown deepened.
I had to stop doing stupid things around Jake Simmon. In fact I just needed to not be around Jake Simmon. Looking at him made my brain leak out my ears. Talking to him left me equally amused and tongue-tied. I couldn’t think straight around the man and he was busy chasing tail all over D.C. Yes, the last thing I needed was to spend more time with Jake while he tried to be my friend. It just muddied the waters.
“No, no, no. I’m fine.” I waved my hands to emphasize my point as if all the no’s hadn’t made it clear.
He reached toward my face again with his shirt. “Stop swatting at me or you’re going to get more dirt in your eyes. Be still, Madeline.”
I froze when he used my whole name. It was rare for anyone to use my full name and when he did, something odd happened in my stomach. He dabbed at my face while I tried to ignore the way my blood pressure rocketed with his proximity.
