3.75 stars 
 ETA: Originally gave this 4 stars but after reading Book 3, I just can't. 
 I did like this one better overall than Book 1. Especially the hero Reid, who had a little more substance and heart than muscle-headed Knox who only seemed to think with his penis and fists. 
 But there were things that I wasn't crazy about and could have been way better. Sophie Jordan likes to use fast easy loopholes to push her (convoluted) plots along. So you got to suspend all sense of realism & belief big time to read her books. Similar to Knox's story, the whole plot of this was super contrived with a lot of nonsensical things happening for the hero and heroine to get together. From the President's daughter easily sneaking out of her hotel room thinking she won't get recognized and getting kidnapped not even a block away from her hotel (really Jordan???!) and the kidnappers just happened to be on their way to kidnap her (LOL. Plot twist!) to Reid's easy pardon to the couple's nice and tidy HEA. But......I thought the couple were cute. I was skeptical for a good 70% of the story with the constant repetitive arguments to them not really getting anywhere while 'on the run'. I guess that would be my biggest complaint, you have your leads on the run hiding from the police and secret service and the whole damn country and they are sitting ducks for 90% of the story in a cabin in the woods with nothing exciting going on except heated tension, arguments and sex. (view spoiler)[ Reid doesn't have his one-on-one meeting with the big bad guy until the very end which literally lasts 2 seconds, which took the suspense angle right out of the book. (hide spoiler)] 
 And this is literally the third book I've read by Sophie Jordan where the heroine's character is so inconsistent and misleading from cover blurb to story. How the heroine is packaged on the blurb and the beginning is very inconsistent and drastically changed through the story. I wanna know how "shy awkward" pushover timid Grace transformed into a temperamental raging hellcat within a matter of 2 chapters. Yeah....ok. lol Reid bringing that out of her or not, the context of it made no sense. The development of this character was very fast and loose IMO, it made no sense for her to show that much spine towards her captor and so quickly. Jordan's tendency to have her character's personalities change with a flip of a switch just shows lack of realistic development and depth. 
 But nonsensical bits aside, I thought Reid and Grace were cute and sweet in the end. I loved the epilogue. And the fact that the First family was Latino(?) I found surprising and refreshing. I'm not sure since it was never outright confirmed but there were hints.
