Great story. I read this book in one sitting, it was too hard to put down my Kindle.

Anna Fitzgerald is the first President in the history of the USA to be a woman. She's an Independent, a single 36 year old woman trying to make the U.S. is heading in the right direction. After getting dumped when she announced her bid to run to her boyfriend years ago, she plans to run the country as a single woman. Before her inauguration, her advisors recommend that she attend all the inauguration balls with a man. The only man that comes to mind is someone from her past who's now the lead anchor on a major network TV news show. Showing up to see him after 15 years of radio silence is a big gamble, but after the way he left her, Anna knows that he won't refuse her. Not is she ever wrong. His "no" to her turns out to be one of the biggest mistakes he's ever made.

Navin Hazar is one of the nation's biggest news anchors. His life took a sharp turn during his second year at law school and he never looked back. When Anna Fitzpatrick runs for the white house, he never told anyone that he knew Anna on a personal level 15 years ago. His silence almost costs him his job. Now he's off live TV and is assigned to her presidential press pool. If that's not a slap in the face, it's seeing her daily and having her be indifferent to him.

Now they have to find a way to work together for the next 4 years without any feelings getting in the way. But can they?

A must read!!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

With all the political drama in the nation today, I was a bit hesitant about this book, but my concerns were completely unfounded. I LOVED THIS BOOK. The political aspects were well done and interesting. The characters and their banter were charming and enjoyable. I couldn't put the book down and was sad when I finished it, which is always the sign of a great book for me.

My only complaint was the mole storyline; I thought it was underdeveloped and hence, unnecessary. But overall, great job.

Anna and Navin had a history together years before she became the first female president of the US. Their relationship began when they were young and ended with a misunderstanding. Years later when she becomes the President their lives cross again. The chemistry is still there but they are both strong personalities. A slow-burn romance with lots of drama, turmoil, and media attention. A cute that was fun to read. I read an arc via Net Galley and voluntarily chose to write a review.

I love this book. I love this book. I love this book. I love this book. I love this book. I love this book. I love this book. I love this book. I love this book.

I love political romance and fictional female Presidents--even though I wish that concept wasn't still fiction!--and this sounded right up my alley, but unfortunately it just wasn't very good. If you're looking for romance in a White House setting with better writing and better characters, try Casey McQuiston, Sierra Simone, Lauren Gallagher, Radclyffe, Keira Andrews, or the West Wing fanfiction tag on AO3 instead.

A sweet story!
I absolutely loved how they had history together. I have to say, this is the first president story I've read with the woman as president and I confess that it speaks to my inner feminist.

It got a little predictable at some point but a great story nonetheless.

I just couldn't keep interested in this book. The first person present tense writing is off-putting and hard to follow. I thought the characters were flat and not interesting.

An old flame with new sparks.
Navin Hazar had a good reason why he left law school years ago, breaking the heart of the only woman he never forgot, Anna Fitzpatrick. Now, she’s the POTUS and he’s the top reporter for New York’s GBNC. Determined to leave their one night together in the past, Navin’s superiors discover his ties to Anna and he’s forced to work the press pool of the White House.
Anna still holds a grudge as to why Navin left after their one night together years ago but knows she has no room for romance while serving as the POTUS. Yet, her desires for Navin are still alive, and crave for more.
I loved the professional banter between these two characters, showing us that even with maturity, we are still reckless when it comes to what the heart wants. For Anna, she wants Navin close, and maybe this is to control him. Navin tries to control his feelings for Anna, but this only finds him late at night searching for her in the White House. How long will they fight their desires for each other?
I have read most of Tara Sue Me’s novels and I’m never disappointed. This one was a bit different with a slow burn, carving out a treacherous path for the most impossible relationship.

*I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley.*

I really enjoyed this book and found that I couldn't put it down! The tension between Anna and Navin during the book was palpable. I enjoyed the characters and the interactions between our main two. I liked how even though Anna had more "power" than anyone, it didn't deter Navin from his persuit of her. It was also refreshing to see the weight given to being an individual in a relationship, and persuing your own dreams, as well as being part of a whole.

While I was unable to tear myself away from the story, I was a bit disappointed in the ending. It felt like the whole book had built up to an ending that was much too rushed. I like what happened, but it needed more time. As I approached the end, I actually expected there to be a cliffhanger for a second book. I was also a bit put off that the mystery going on during the novel just disappeared at the end. That was very anticlimactic.

Entertaining for an election year. Attention grabbing and mind seeking to wonder what it truly would be like to have a female president in the White House. Tara Sue Me did a brilliant job at portraying those qualities and details, like in all her books. The behind the romance, the 'setting of the stage' if you will- she conveys a daunting love story of what it's like being a single president who holds all the power.

Navin and Anna, aka Madame President, were okay to read about. I wish there was a more 'behind the doors' type romance. 'Sneaking around' the secret doors chemistry if you will. This is a very slow-burn read, so don't expect tons of erotic escapades in that big White House... this is not your book. There were some sweet and eyebrow raising moments led by Navin toward Anna that I wanted to see more from. More on the sense of what we know Tara's Alpha writing style is. This was just a different avenue of Tara's typical story-wave length I was not used to.

Overall, it was different and okay.

I love politics so this book was a no brainier. Enjoyed watching Anna and Navin grow together and their past lives connecting to where they both are today. Navin wasn’t intimidated which I liked and appreciated

A quick, easy going second chance romance set in the heart of Washington D.C. and the craziness of the role of the first female President of the USA and her second chance come press pool sweetheart.
Anna and Navin, despite their seemingly great differences, actually make sense on paper right from the start. I was hoping there wouldn't be a great deal of drama in the story surrounding the forbidden nature of their relationship - and I was right. I will come back to that later, however. It made perfect sense to me that Navin would be cast out of his role on tv due to his lie of omission, and I am glad to say that although Anna knew why he was there, it didn't become a major tool to coerce Navin and hover over their relationship.
What I really struggled with is how the storyline with the leak was used. It was the reason for Navin to be in D.C but it became such a non-entity really. It became a very short term focus for the black moment and then suddenly disappeared again until the epilogue with absolutely nothing resolved about the who or why information was being passed. I spent time trying to figure out the motives of secondary characters at several points, but really there was no rhyme or reason for it.
All in all I mostly enjoyed the book, the pace of the story was good and I did feel their relationship worked well. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This premise was so fresh. Anna and Navin are characters that are well developed, interesting and mature. There weren't excuses for bad behavior they owned up to them and moved on. The story has some beautiful moments, wonderful dialogue and on point quotes (the one by William Douglas in particular was very powerful).

MADAME PRESIDENT von TARA SUE ME ist eine SECOND-CHANCE-GESCHICHTE.

ANNA FITZPATRICK ist PRÄSIDENTIN DER USA. INTELLIGENT, CHARMANT, UNABHÄNGIG, SINGLE. Als sie von dem Mann in ihrem Leben verlassen wird, als sie sich für das mächtigste Amt der USA zur Wahl stellt, schwört sie sich, während ihrer Amtszeit Single zu bleiben.
NAVIN HAZAR ist einer der TOP NACHRICHTENSPRECHER des Landes. Das war vielleicht nicht Teil seines Lebensplanes, aber Pläne ändern sich. So soll auch eigentlich niemand wissen, dass er die Präsidentin persönlich kennt oder zumindest vor vielen Jahren kannte. So einfach ist das aber natürlich nicht.
Beide HAUPTCHARAKTERE sind sich ebenbürtig. NAVIN ebenso stark wie die Präsidenten, fühlt sich, anders als der EX, durch die Position von ANNA auch nicht „entmannt“.
Der Start in die Geschichte war toll. Ich war schnell in den Bann von MADAME PRESIDENT gezogen. Im Verlauf der Geschichte gab es jedoch einige zähe Momente. Ein Geheimnis, mit dem man schon recht früh in der Geschichte konfrontiert wird, wird im Verlaufe des Buches erst einmal nicht mehr wirklich angesprochen, zum Ende noch einmal aufgeworfen, aber nie gelöst. Das fand ich sehr schade. Lässt es doch offene Fragen zurück.
Die Idee einer Präsidentin in den USA fand ich großartig. Ich fand es super von einer starken und auch noch intelligenten weiblichen Persönlichkeit an der Spitze der USA zu lesen. Die CHARAKTERE der Geschichte sind insgesamt toll ausgearbeitet.
MADAME PRESIDENT ist ein einzeln stehendes Buch. Es hat keinerlei Verbindungen zu anderen Geschichten der Autorin, kann dementsprechend alleine gelesen werden.
MADAME PRESIDENT ist eine wunderschöne Romanze, aber ganz anders, als die sonstigen Bücher von TARA SUE ME. Mir hat es insgesamt gefallen, auch wenn ich die anderen Bücher der Autorin noch viel lieber gelesen habe. Von mir bekommt MADAME PRESIDENT 4 von 5 STERNEN.

This was such a gentle romance. Anna and Navin's story was a very satisfying one told of 2 strong personalities with real issues. I admired their connection and growth and RL troubles. I had issues with how Anna believed that Navin did something, and also felt there was a story thread that was a huge anticlimax.
All in all, it was a lovely read.

*Thanks NetGalley for the ARC*

I am new to this author but really loved the sound of a female president of the US. I am a sucker for a political romance and I must say this one started out great and sucked me in completely. I really loved the characters in the story and the chemistry between them was really great.

As the story progressed though, I found at time it really fell flat for me and at times got a bit cheesy. But I also had two main issues with this book. First, there was a part of the story that began early on, that was a bit of a mystery for the character as well as the reader and was kind of forefront to their story and relationship. The author let it and completely fade out of the story line and then have it be mentioned right at the very end but never resolved it. That is a huge irk for me, it was like the author just got tired of that part of the story line and gave up on it and then at the end figured they should mention it. to wrap things up all neat and tidy. Why even bring it in to the story and let it die half way through and never fully resolve it.

Second, I am a huge stickler for timelines and consistencies in stories. When there are inconsistencies, even small, they are a huge distraction for me from the actual story. In this book, the time line things happening are totally out to lunch, to the point I can't understand how the author can't see it, it's practically in neon lights. Without any spoilers, this is my issue. The two main characters have not seen each other in 15 years. As we get into the story line we find out, when they last saw each other, his little sister was 5 years old. When he talks about his sister in present day, she's 13. From Age 5 to 13 is 8 years in time, yet the time span for them (which is the same time period) is 15 years. To miss this is huge and a real annoyance for me as a reader.

Overall had these two issues not been there, I would have enjoyed the book a lot more and looked past the less engaging parts of the story.

Fell in love with this book! With a woman president! Anna being an unstoppable force to be reckoned with... I loved how she was so confident but yet let her guard down for love.

What a fantastic spin on a political romance! Anna Fitzpatrick is strong, intelligent and dedicated to making changes for the US as President. News anchor, Nevin Hazar, has a hidden history with Anna that comes tumbling out with consequences. What follows is a beautiful story of new beginnings with a few bumps along the way. I'd love to read more about their story! I'm definitely interested in learning more about some of the loose ends that remained.

This is like The West Wing with a romantic twist — totally adorable! I love reading political fiction books and this one might be one of my favorites yet. It’s positive, not partisan. It’s political without being *~*PoLiTiCaL*~* and that was such a breath of fresh air. The main characters were so likeable and I loved watching the first female president navigate her administration in an unconventional way and defying stereotypes along the way. 4/5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

ARC received for review

I've been reading Ms. Me's books since her first one came out in 2012, and this one is nothing like those. There is almost no sexual interludes between Anna and Navin, but there is a beautiful romance. It wasn't all smooth sailing (how can it be when one person is the leader of the largest nation in the free world). The drama with the mole was very under developed and just kind of flopped. I was expecting more from it. Overall, it was a great book.
