Reviews for Governor

[Natale Michaud · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This was a hard listen for me, as I can't imagine anyone ruling my life completely nor ever being anyone's slave. My favorite character is Susa. She is intelligent, mature past her young years, and like me she is a Switch. But mine is just play and is sexual only. No one will run my entire life. Carter really is a manipulate bastard and Owen is just too friggin f'd up and weak.
What Carter does in order to get Owen sexual goes above and beyond being a bastard extrordinare.

Ohh my gosh, not my normal style... but I was hooked ... eeeeek!

[Stacey Kennard · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

So much to unpack about how I feel about this book. Well written and perfectly narrated. The mind fuck in chapter 34 threw me for a loop… but by the end, I had happy tears in my eyes. Knowing what I know now from the ending, I really want to reread it with this new perspective.

Such a beautiful insight into the emotional dynamic of D/s lifestyle. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of sex but I would honestly say the emotions completely overrode that in a surprisingly perfect way. It also showed poly in a way I had not previously seen exemplified.

Identifying with Owen myself, the mind fuck from chapter 34 gutted me. It almost made it hard to continue reading. Almost. If you feel the same, don’t give up. Finish it. It will all make sense in the end.

Some will look at this and only see emotional manipulation, but there is so much more depth and complexity to it.

Wow. I mean, WOW. I loved this book. I learned a lot. As a former (state) senate staffer, I approve of all the insider shizz Richardson writes. What a fun, engaging, poignant tale. And HOT as all get out. I loved the MM aspect of this MMF. Very satisfying ending.

I love this series. It makes politics look fun. The characters are well developed and find their voices in the other parts of this 5 part trilogy ?

[Nic Graham · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very well written. I LOVE that the books are so long. Gives enough time to really develop the story and characters without needing to rush. Spicy scenes don't disappoint

What an amazingly well written book! The character development and flow of the story had me riveted from start to finish! And, Liam Lambert was absolutely awesome in the narration of the story!

[Caitlin Meuser · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is one of my new favorites. Absolutely loved it. So interesting and gripping. Love the characters and the realness to the emotions. Cant wait to read more.

Oh my…..what did I just read….I swear…this book is beyond sexy. Beyond gritty. Beyond heartbreaking and inspiring. It’s so loving and selfish brushed and beaten against gracious and giving. Battlefields of awkward moments at war with need and temptation. Definitely a must have and must read

[Kristina C. · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Love this series. Signed up for Scribed just to listen to it.

[Angela White · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

DNF this ends in a cliffhanger, for an eleven plus hour audiobook to need 3 books that’s strike 1, each book is told from a different MC’s POV, the most likable character is lied to and left out of a major decision that was unforgivable, disrespectful betrayal- strike 2, then I went through reviews hoping book 2 or 3 would bring some redemption, but sadly strike 3. Clearly a lot of people love this series but being emotionally manipulated isn’t my thing.
