If you have already read Race To Kill then you would have already Helen as the female President of the United States. In this we go back to the time that she was running to be her parties candidate to run for the presidency.Helen has been in love with her best friend for years. Only problem is that she has been too afraid to act on those feelings. He has lost his wife years before and is now a major part of her campaign team. What she doesn't know that Sean has also felt the same about her for years also.Like Race To Kill you again get the right balance of suspense and romance. This time it is the very early build up to the events that occurred in Race To Kill. You have the conflicts between the two running candidates and suspicious events that occur while on the campaign tour but best of all you have the increasing intimacy between the two leads. I have to admit that at the beginning I just wanted to bash their heads together! Reading both of their thoughts with regards to one another it was obvious that they should have been together.The thing that I really liked about the story was Helen's character developing from the brief glimpse that we had had of her, the fact that she was not willing to win peoples votes by using the demons from her past (you'll have to read it to find out what they are), was a refreshing change for a politician, if not perhaps slightly unrealistic!! If only politicians were really like that!!All in all a great prequel to Race To Kill. The books can be read, in my opinion, in either order, or indeed as stand alones but I would imagine if you read one you'll want to read the other!!Please note I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
