My rating: 5 of 5 stars

His First Lady by Avery Scott is a fantastic ‘fake romance’ novel. I am a fan of fake romance novels so was really looking forward to reading this one and it certainly did not disappoint. I had never read any work by Avery Scott before and if this book is anything to go by then I’m sure I will read more of her work.
Michael Reese is a candidate for the job of President of the USA. His campaign manager Tom decides that to improve his chances of winning, then he needs a ‘First Lady’, well not a real one, a fake one. Michael chooses his speechwriter Kendall to become his ‘love interest’. It certainly helps that as well as being intelligent and great at her job, Kendall is also beautiful.
Once they are thrown together, Kendall and Michael both realise that they have so much in common and actually really enjoy being in each other’s company.
The plan is for Kendall to jilt Michael at the altar but as the wedding gets closer and closer both realise that they would really like for the wedding to be real and not fake. But do they admit this to each other? Of course not! That wouldn’t make for good reading. This book has so much angst as Kendall and Michael fight their growing feelings for each other which makes this book a page turner.
This book is very well written and has fantastic characters. I loved both Michael and Kendall, whereas I really wanted to punch Tom, the campaign manager is the face so many times. I’m of the opinion that if an author can get you to hate a character then they have done a great job with that character.
I’d definitely recommend this book.

This is my first read by this author and I enjoyed how different it was. Micheal is a candidate for president but his rating aren’t where they need to be, so they find him a girlfriend named Kendall.(I love her!) They find themselves in a tough situation and end up engaged. Even though this is just a “job” the chemistry is off the carts between those two and lines are blurred between Job and reality will they be able to keep everything professional?
I really liked this book and I am looking forward to reading more by this author. I would recommend to a friend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

His First Lady by Avery Scott is a political romance story. Michael Reese is a politician running for President. He has a reputation as a lady’s man and his campaign adviser has the idea he needs a steadfast, loyal companion on the trail with Michael. Kendall Bailey is Michael’s speechwriter and gets wrangled into being the “girlfriend”.
The story and characters are good. The writing is easy to follow and allows this to be a quick read. This was a bit formulaic at times but still enjoyable. I was easily able to predict where the story would go. Personally, I prefer a bit of a twist or turn to the story but I liked this was because it was an easy, fast read. It allowed me to escape daily life and get away for a bit. I will be looking for more from Avery Scott in the future to see where she goes next in her storytelling.

His First Lady by Avery Scott, is an amazing read that shows even when something is supposed to stay fake, chemistry and passion can draw two together and not be anything near fake. Michael is a senior congressman and Presidential hopeful who has already been divorced twice and has a reputation of a ladies man. Many of his campaign people think that this could be damning to him and they decide that having a “first lady” will help him in many ways. That is where his new speech writer, Kendall comes in. Add in chemistry and a touch of drama and see what happens when things aren’t as fake as what they both think it is.
Avery Scott gave us a well written story with amazing characters. Me as a reader loves stories like this and it did not disappoint. I love that Avery gave us a story that pushes her characters to the wall and out of their confront zones. I give this book 4 stars and would love to read more from this author in the futures.

His First Lady by Avery Scott was a sassy political fake relationship romance. I have been on a fake relationship trope lately but I wasn’t too sure on the political part of this book. But Avery’s writing had me glued to my kindle; I even read at the dinner table because I needed to keep reading.

Michael Reese is a 2-time divorcé who is running for president and according to his campaign manager (who I wanted to punch a few times) is in need of a girlfriend. Looking over the staff meeting table Michael lays eyes on his speech-writer Kendall. These two had amazing chemistry and could flirt with the best. The only problem I had with them is that they needed better communication but I would add that as a learning curve. Could Kendall really be his First Lady?

If you’re looking for a funny fake relationship romance with a little bit of politics mixed in, you will like this book.

Presidential candidate Michael Reese thinks his campaign manager Tom is crazy when he suggests Michael find a pretend girlfriend to soften his playboy image. On a whim, he glances around at the females on his team and discovers his only option there is his speech writer, Kendall. Wanting someone he can already trust for the job, he asks and she reluctantly accepts. After all, what could go wrong?! While the premise of this story is not new, I still loved how Avery Scott told this story. Kendall is a great character who seems to fight herself the entire book, trying to figure out how she really feels. She seems tailor made for Michael and the tasks at hand, managing it all like a pro. She tries to stay professional, but who can resist a man like Michael?! The note at the end of the book from Aver y Scott promises extra scenes from the book on her website, but the website seems to be down, so now I’m begging Avery Scott for a sequel! I thoroughly enjoyed these characters and would love to read more about them! Overall, a great, quick read! I give “His First Lady” by Avery Scott four stars!

Michael Reese is running for President of the United States in His First Lady by Avery Scott. Michael’s campaign manager believes that the twice divorced Reese needs a First Lady to help generate votes. Kendall Bailey is the candidate’s speechwriter who also happens to be in the wrong place at the right time when Michael agrees to taking on a First Lady. In the beginning Kendall balks at the idea but once she gets to know Michael, she changes her mind. Will being in the spotlight help or hurt Michael’s campaign? Will Kendall be able to fake her position or will she even need to fake her feelings?
While I don’t normally like political reads, I did enjoy this story. I loved the pluckiness of Kendall and the charisma of Michael. This was an easy story to read and flowed quite well. If you are a reader looking for a fun story with a different kind of story line do yourself a favor and read this book.

Four Stars

Every man needs a first lady that isn’t going to bring him down but make him stronger. To struggle with him and to win with him. Kendall is a perfect first lady and Michael couldn’t have better. I really enjoyed the story. The author gave us the behind the scene view of politics. Which is mostly a bunch of men and women trying to get ahead. There are many that care but most are looking for careers. I think I would vote for Michael. We need more people who have lived at the bottom but made it to the top. People that are driven to be more and do more. The story was classic in its path but unique in the delivery. The characters were flawed but showed growth and a need to be better. You see how past experiences effect your judgement even when that’s not how you wanted it to go.

His First Lady by Avery Scott is a sweet romance contemporary story that is easy to read. The story is well written and a nice easy read but it also frustrated me and I wanted to shake some of the characters. The main characters were likeable but I felt the story and the characters themselves were lacking. The premise for the story is great but I wanted more. More depth, more wonder, more intensity, just more. I did like the humour throughout which made it fun.

Michael Reese is a Presidential candidate and is happy with his life. He has been married twice & divorced and a bit of a lady’s man. When his overbearing campaign manager decides he needs to find a woman, a First Lady is when the fun begins.

Kendall Bailey is the new girl on the block, and his speech writer. She has worked for a few candidates before so she knows the drill but when she is propositioned for another position by the Presidential candidate she is blown away.

It is a nice and easy and fun read.

5 Stars

This was my first book by this author and I sincerely enjoyed it. The storyline was different yet familiar if that makes sense. Some things were predictable yet I loved watching what I thought would happen happen, and then some things were not predictable and I loved those just as much.

I read this in one sitting because it was that easy to read and flowed beautifully. There was no added “fluff” making every word meaningful, and it was just such a sweet story and I can not wait to read more from this author. The characters were all great and some things that I thought might happen during this story, things that worried me did not ever happen and I’m so glad this author steered away from this drama that could have played out. That probably doesn’t make any sense, but if you read the book, you will understand.

I loved it and highly recommend it to anyone that wants to read a seriously good story that will have you experiencing all the feels

Can’t wait for more from this author!

His First Lady by Avery Scott had me from the very beginning. I loved Kendall and Michael and everything about their story. Though there were a few times I wanted to shake them to get them to wake up and talk with one another.

Michael a twice divorced batchelor has no plans to marry again, even if it will help him win the Presidency. He fights it tooth and nail and digs his heels in even though it was to his own detriment.

Kendall was working on the campaign as a speech writer and it ended up being so much more than a simple job. She fought her feelings as long as she could and fought admitting them even longer than that.

There was just something about the way they were together that I liked and would love to see more of them and their story. I wasn’t quite ready to let them go.

His First Lady was a good 4 star read.

Michael is in the presidential race and his campaign manager is pushing him to find a first lady. He’s not thrilled about it but finally agrees to it.
We need a First Lady to keep you out of trouble and to appeal to the electorate.

Kendall is Michael’s speech writer but when he called her in for a meeting to discuss a scheme she was floored, it was not what she was expecting. Michael was very convincing and Kendall finally agreed to help him. The only thing she didn’t expect were the feelings that were starting to flare up the more time she spent with him. Michael was also starting to see Kendall in a different light as well.

Will he let his guard down and let her into his heart? Can these two have a HEA?

I really liked both characters. Kendall was great she was smart, fun and knew how to stand her ground and give it right back. The bantering was great, I had several LOL moments. Michael was great as well even though he was a little reserved when it came to women. These two were great for each other and they had some very steamy moments. If your looking for a great read than 1-click and get started today on this one.

This is one of those lovely romance stories that is the perfect read after a long hard week.

HIS FIRST LADY is a well plotted story that is the perfect blend of romance and friendship and misunderstanding while navigating a life worth living. The characters are well defined and likeable.

This is one of those stories that is fun to get lost in for a few hours. It was entertaining and satisfying and definitely recommend it.

His First Lady by Avery Scott is as fast paced story that once I started I couldn’t put it down until I finished. Kendall is a smart and beautiful woman who is good at her job.She doesn’t do relationships. She is very surprised when she is asked to play a part of a potential First Lady. Michael is handsome and single. His campaign manager believes that the playboy he acts like will not go over well. Michael is a man who has had two divorces would rather be single that is until he gets to know Kendall.These two definitely have a attraction to one another. Can Michael open his hear to Kendall? .I highly recommend reading this. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

His First Lady, by Avery Scott, is a billionaire romance with a military undertone. On tap are one speechwriter and a presidential candidate; Kendall and Michael seem like oil and vinegar, but there is something deeper that works for these characters with more in common than anticipated. However, as the story unfolds, the author leads the reader on a journey – along with the characters. The interactions between the main and supporting characters was entertaining, and a times a little light. However, I felt the author did a remarkable job creating a story that was enticing with realistic characters and situations as the story continues on. I liked the characters in their portrayal and the pace of the story. Read this story to discover what situations the Kendall and Michael find along the way and whether or not it strengths them or ultimately leaves them on separate paths.

This is one of those books that is my hidden pleasure. The politic books. I love them! not many people write them but they are the ones that are my one click!

This was written off a Presidential campaign but it wasn’t super angsty. It was sweet and easy to read and I read it in one sitting.

Michael is on the Presidential campaign race. He has been divorced twice and he persona is more of the ladies man than anything and that’s something that doesn’t work in his favor. His campaign manager needs to find someone to stand in for the First lady so that he can appeal to the public. Enter Kendall. She is a speech writer for his campaign. Their chemistry is off the charts but can they keep the public happy? Can they prove that this is real?

This was such an amazing written book. It’s light hearted and hooked me from the beginning. These kind of books are a guilty indulgence of mine and this was perfect!

I enjoyed this book and the point of view the story was written in. This is a creative story that is engaging and fast paced. Michael is the candidate for president but to help boost his ratings, they find him a girlfriend, Kendall. But when they are put into a position, they find themselves engaged. Is this just a job or will there be a happy ending for these two? I enjoyed their chemistry and how they are true to life, connectable. They make this story for me. I highly recommend this book.

His First Lady by Avery Scott is a very sweet and easy to read story that takes place during a presidential campaign. It was such an interesting premise, and the blurb really did intrigue me- then add the sexy cover and I was sold. I did enjoy the story, but it didn’t grab me quite as hard as I was hoping for. The story is good, it is well written, but it was a little predictable and just lacked the intensity and added drama, or some suspense- which would have elevated it to the next level for me.
Michael Reese is a senior congressman from Kentucky and Presidential candidate on the campaign trail. He is twice divorced, with a bit of a reputation as a lady’s man. His campaign manager is worried that the people’s perception of his love life could affect his chances come the election. So, it is decided that he will need to find a ‘First Lady’ to stand beside him through the campaign. Someone who will help him seem more appealing to the voters. It can’t be just anyone, and most importantly it will need to be someone he can trust. That’s where his new speech writer, Kendall Bailey comes into the picture. She’s perfect for the ‘job’, and so Michael makes a deal with her that will help them both. But can they maintain a professional arrangement when their chemistry gets in the way? And with the world watching, the pressure is on. Things may not quite go according to plan? So, what happens you may ask? Well, if you like a sweet story, with just a little drama, great characters, and a fairly ‘clean’ storyline (i.e. fade-out intimate scenes) – then you should dive in and discover all the lovely details for yourself.
I would love to have given this book a higher rating, and debated about what rating to give it- part of me was leaning towards 3 stars because it just didn’t have all the ingredients that I would’ve loved it to have had, and which would’ve made it far more memorable for me,  and make it stand out from the crowd. I really wanted to know more about the characters too- such as their ages, as well as more of their backstories.
But overall, it was definitely a light and fun read.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Scott does next.

Thank you, Ms. Scott!

This is the first book that I have read by this author and overall I really liked the story and her writing style. I liked that the characters in the story had to grow on me, yes it’s nice where you fall in love with a character straight away or have that instant connection but I do also like it when you have to work hard to get to know a character and I definitely had to do that with Michael.
Whilst sometimes the story lacked a little detail then characters and their chemistry was fantastic! I loved the connection they had, although they may have frustrated me at times I still found I was fully invested in their story.
I would definitely like to read more by this author in the future and think that His First Lady is a solid 4 star read!

His First Lady is by Avery Scott. I loved this book and read it in one setting. It’s the story of Kendall Bailey, a speech writer for Presidential Candidate Michael Reese. She is beautiful, successful and single which fits right into Michael’s campaign managers plan. He insists Michael needs to be in a relationship to be a successful candidate so he talks Kendall in to a fake relationship. Michael is a playboy because of he has been divorced twice and burned badly. He has decided no one will ever really love him so he just decided he’s not the relationship kind of guy. It’s hard to have one night stands though on a campaign trail. Kendall fits the fake fiance bill perfectly but can she fake this relationship without having real feelings. Will Michael open himself up to love and a relationship again? Once they cross a line can they go back to being fake fiances? Read His First Lady to find out!

The story His First Lady by Avery Scott is a wonderful romance book the I loved reading. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let go until the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Kendall Bailey and Michael Reese. Kendall is a woman who writes speeches for Michael as he campaigns to become President. She is smart, independent, beautiful, and good at her job. She is not one to get tangled up in relationships. She is surprised when she is asked to play the part of a potential First Lady for Michael. Michael is a man that is very handsome, charming, charismatic, and single. His campaign manager believes that the bachelor playboy that Michael is will not go over well. Michael is a man whose life and two divorces have shown him that he would rather be single. Then he gets to know Kendall. These two have a definite physical attraction to each other. They can’t seem to get each other out of their minds. Is there more that is going on between them than just a part that each are playing? Is it possible that they could be falling for each other? Will Michael open up his heart to Kendall? What does the future hold for both Michael and Kendall? Read this book to find out. This story has witty and flirty bantering. It has romantic and steamy scenes. There are parts that will make you swoon. There are also additional characters that are introduced, and I enjoyed reading about their part in the book. You can’t help but want Michael and Kendall to find happiness. It is a story that I would highly recommend reading.

This is a wonderful story! I loved it! I felt like I was on ups and downs throughout reading. I could hardly put it down and when I did?? I just ended up thinking about it all day! I liked the whole idea of this book. Michael is running for President alone. His campaign manager feels a “First Lady” will make him look better to pollers. What happens when feelings get involved and then change? How far will this go?

The characters in here are so large and compelling I didn’t even realize there are only a few in the book. Each one is amazing and wonderful (well Tom…is annoying) but when meshed together they flow so nicely to tell a story. Where I had hopes and dreams right along with them. I hoped for the couple and for the Election. I dreamt of Tom getting a smack down (hahaha) but in reality he is perfect for a campaign manager.

This is my first book by this author. I enjoy her writing style and I was immediately engaged with the story. Everything flowed nicely and I look forward to reading more from her.

Kendall Bailey’s job as a hired gun speechwriter for the Michael Reese Presidential Campaign is the perfect chance to advance her career. Michael is sexy, charismatic, and single, but that’s beside the point. Kendall is selling a product. She doesn’t really believe all the wonderful things she writes about Michael – or does she?

When the campaign manager decides that a bachelor playboy will never make the White House, the search is on for a potential First Lady to spice up their campaign and Kendall is picked for the part. Twice-divorced Michael would prefer to be packaged as a bachelor, but Kendall tests his resolve. After a hot night in a D.C. hotel, the line between fact and fiction is blurred.

Will Michael open himself to love again? Is Kendall destined to become the First Lady or just a former employee? Could Kendall be the perfect candidate to win Michael’s heart?
