Review 

Review is for both book 1 and book 2.

It's hard to believe that The Southern Gentleman books are this author's debut novels because they are so damn good! She had me hooked right from the start with fabulous characters, slick dialogue and an intriguing storyline. I found Ms Reese's writing style very easy to read and the story was perfectly paced. I'm just glad that both books are out now as after the unexpected, scandalous ending of book one, Protective Instinct, I would have hated having to wait for the next part of Lola and Nolan's story. I dived straight into book two, True Consequences, and it proved to be even better than the first book!

Lola Randall's mother is in the running to become President of the United States of America, and Lola is finding the media attention overwhelming. She also needs a break from her overbearing parents so she ditches her security and the campaign. Nolan Jackson is a professional 'fixer' and is tasked with finding Lola and bringing her back to her parents and the presidential campaign before the press find out she's gone AWOL. Nolan is a real alpha male and his chemistry with young, innocent Lola is explosive. Can Nolan keep Lola safe from political enemies who will do anything to keep her mother out of the White House? And can he win Lola's heart?

I absolutely loved this book, there were so many layers to the story and they were woven together perfectly. The balance of suspense storyline to romance storyline was just right in my opinion and both were equally as compelling. Lola was very naive and sheltered and I must admit I got a little frustrated with her at times, but I still really liked her. She was the ideal match for jaded Nolan, they were great together. I'm really looking forward to reading more of this author's work in the future, as these books are awesome. The Southern Gentleman books one and two both receive five big, sparkling stars!


I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for a honest review.
