Presidential Pursuit by Rachel Kall


Presidential Pursuit (A Love and Scandal Novella)

Reviewed by Desere 

Imagine being in the running for president ! It must be one of the biggest thrills in the world to know you could be the next one to be in charge of an entire country!

And if you are female and beat out all the men for the race to the poles it is an even greater achievement!

So when Helen is in the running to finally grasp her dreams no one around her even begins to suspect that behind the great responsibly there is still a woman like any other everyday woman, she has needs, fears, hopes and dreams and even with all the company around her could still feel like the loneliest person in the world.

In this prequel novella to much too awesome Race to Kill which was super hot and all action packed, we get to have a look into the life of the woman in the running to rule the country and just what she hides behind the designer suits, or rather who she wants to strip off the designer suits for.

The character of Helen was undoubtedly amazing, it takes real guts for a woman to aim for being the president of any country and when the author gives a little more into her past it showed her as even more amazing and I found myself sitting upright and going " You rock , I am not sure I would ever be able to get over that!"

The character of Sean was kind, caring and the perfect best friend material even up till the relationship moves into sexual territory. Always thinking as clearly as possible and trying to asses the damage in order to protect Helen. It made him even more sexy as the author let him really show he his protecting the woman herself and not just the possible future president.

Quick and easy to read, nice flow and great dialogue. A terrific message of courage and determination pays off in the long run.

I highly recommend this read for fans of prequel reads that offer that little bit extra into the main book and lets you build that bit more of a extra connection to the main story. Hot, action packed and full of presidential sexiness.

5/5 star review
"Even the president needs a little sensual loving"

Uncovering The Correttis by Carol Marinelli
This is a prequel to The series titled Sicily's Corretti Dynasty

In this prequel by Carol Marinelli we meet hard working Emily Hyslop. An investigative reporter who is really pissed off at her editor. After putting in long hours on research, and on the verge of a major breaking story, Adam has taken her off the story. He has given her big story to another reporter he just so happens to be sleeping with. She has been reassigned to Sicily to cover a wedding, but this is no ordinary wedding. This is between two rivals, The Battaglia and Corretti families. What happens in Sicily is, she comes face to face with the man of her dreams.

The only feelings Detective Anton Sorrano has, are feelings of hate. He burns with a passion to bring to justice the people responsible for killing his family. He believes the ones responsible are The Corretti Family. After learning Emily is a reporter he decides they could help each other. As he spends time with Emily, he is starting to feel things he hasn't felt for a long time. But they are both aware she will only be in Sicily for a couple of days.

For a short Novella this prequel packed a lot of punch. The passion was really well written. I enjoyed both of the main characters. This Novella sets up the scene for for following eight books in the series.
