Publisher's summary

It’s November 3, 2020, and Emma McMasters has just been elected the 46th president of the United States. She’s facing a divided Congress and nation, allies that no longer trust America, enemies that have been emboldened, and the legacy of destruction left by the last administration. She must rebuild and reestablish trust in government, in the media, and in the electoral system, all the while carrying the mantle of first female president, and along with it, the hopes and dreams of millions of women and little girls who need her to prove that a woman can get the job done.

Palmer Estes has devoted her life and her career to the military, rising to become the highest-ranking female officer in the US Army. An enigmatic, battle-tested hero, she’s the perfect choice to brief the new president on one last, urgent, highly sensitive mission before she retires.

Two strong women, both driven to serve the country they love, neither prepared for the sparks that fly between them.

McMasterful!

Wow, Where to start? First, the storyline was a much-needed respite from the divisive politics currently in the United States. E Pluribus Unum!!! Emma McMasters is the 46th President of the United States. The first female elected to the highest office in the land and, bonus points, she's a lesbian!
Four-Star General Palmer Estes is in the twilight of her exemplary career as the highest-ranking officer in the United States Army. Only after she meets the newly inaugurated President Emma McMasters does she truly begin to live a full life.
Lynn Ames crafts her characters into such beloved figures that you just can't help but root for them. Under the microscope of the entire world, they face the landmines of bigotry and vitriol with dignity and class. Narrator Abby Craden once again delivers a McMasterful performance as she brings the characters to life. Well done. Completely, McMasterful!

Classic Lynn Ames

If you've liked any of her other works, then you will like this one too. Abby Craden did a fantastic job reading as always!

Can we have Emma as president

Great book, great love story. Fairy tales but who knows. Abby did wonderful as always. Loved it

Loved this!

This is such and intelligent, engrossing and heartfelt read. Also it’s hard not to love these beautifully flawed characters. This was so well done. Not mentioned I have been listening and reading to Lynn Ames work for the past few weeks. Abbey Craden does a superb job as always!!On to another one!!

Wonderful

Great story and I agree that I wish this story was based on a true one! Abby is great as usual with the narration! Would recommend!

nicely uplifting

nicely. uplifting story. I enjoyed it. the story is a good escape from the real world. I recommend.

That's a Wrap! One for the Ages!

Hit all the right notes for a wonderful love story. Had me smiling, laughing out loud, righteously indignant and even crying real tears at some points. The story had it all and I really appreciated the authentic presentation of the life of a woman in the Officer ranks in the military. Having it take place in 2020 and taking on the political issues of the day was great. And of course showing everyone a smart, fearless, compassionate woman can be the leader of the free world was awesome. Last but not least was the performance by Abby Craven. I could listen to her read the Telephone Book. She is THAT amazing.

Fantastic!!

I finished this audiobook very quickly b/c it was soooooooo good. Emma McMasters has just been elected the 46th President of the United States. Her wife died 3 years prior but the fact that she’s a lesbian makes her a target in many circles. She develops a fast connection to General Palmer Estes, the highest ranking female in the military and they need to navigate whether they can move forward together. This book gave such a hopeful view of what the United States could look like under the right leadership and the romance aspect gave me lots of smiles. This awesome story written by Lynn Ames is narrated by the fabulous Abby Craden so don’t hesitate diving into this one.

unfortunately a Fairy tale

I loved this story, but it is a wonderful fairy tale. I don’t think I will see , in my life time, a female, lesbian president. And have many people happy about her new love, accept her national decisions, etc. But we can hope and dream.
Great writing, great and very likeable characters. I appreciate the amount of research that must have been required to write this story.
Ames is one of my favorite authors and Abbey Craden is my absolute favorite narrator. That makes this a fabulous audio book.

Fabulous read!

What’s not to love? Well written and paced, complicated and interesting characters, solid research, and excellent tension. Highly recommend.
