Looking forward to this seriesWell it happened—Nick is the President。 This book is about starting the adjustment to being in the White House。 There’s a lot of figuring out how to handle things, plus cold cases to review。 And the FBI investigation is turning up things that could cause Sam problems in future stories。 It’s supposed to only be for 3 years but who knows。

Fantastic First FamilyThe transition from VP to President can't be easy but to happen so quickly, in the blink of an eye, makes it more difficult。 I felt like I was there being pulled in all directions while still trying to be coherent at work and competent at caring for my family! Highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense with great characters and realistic situations。 Fantastic First FamilyThe transition from VP to President can't be easy but to happen so quickly, in the blink of an eye, makes it more difficult。 I felt like I was there being pulled in all directions while still trying to be coherent at work and competent at caring for my family!

First FamilyWow just wow! I loved this book and all the familiar characters as well as the characters we are learning about。 Scotty, the twins and Eli have some of the most heart touching scenes。 What can I say but well done again Marie Force! <3 Cannot wait until December 21 for State Of Grace, already preordered!!
Ellen,
Sam and Nick's love is the most beautiful story Ive ever read and Marie Force is by far the best writer!No matter what happens with the two of them, they are on the same page and the support and love is what everyone wants to have。 The journey of Nick from Senator to VP and now to President is awesome and gives a great insight into the workings of the US government。This book does not disappoint with Sam's quirkiness, Nick's love for her and the kids as well as the tales of all of their friends。 Sam and Nick's love is the most beautiful story Ive ever read and Marie Force is by far the best writer!No matter what happens with the two of them, they are on the same page and the support and love is what everyone wants to have。 The journey of Nick from Senator to VP and now to President is awesome and gives a great insight into the workings of the US government。This book does not disappoint with Sam's quirkiness, Nick's love for her and the kids as well as the tales of all of their friends。 。。。more

State of Affairs is so good, I can’t put the book down。 Nick is now the US President and Sam the First Lady。 It was so nice to see that Nick and Sam’s new position did not change their life, much。 Love it that Sam is still working, how they are hiring their friends to be part of White House staff and how no matter what, nothing will change with them。 I just love the littles and Scott and new family member Skippy。 I can’t wait for the State of Grace, Christmas at the White House。 And the epic par State of Affairs is so good, I can’t put the book down。 Nick is now the US President and Sam the First Lady。 It was so nice to see that Nick and Sam’s new position did not change their life, much。 Love it that Sam is still working, how they are hiring their friends to be part of White House staff and how no matter what, nothing will change with them。 I just love the littles and Scott and new family member Skippy。 I can’t wait for the State of Grace, Christmas at the White House。 And the epic parties Sam plan to do with sleepover。 I highly recommend Fatal Affairs series and State of Affairs, first of First Family Affairs。 。。。more

State of affairs This book has stayed in my hands until I finished it。 Characters are multi demential, you know them, their so believable and human。 I love them, I hate we have to wait so long for the next book。

Karen Gunter,
The BestMarie has let use down。 I felt the stress of change that each situation presented in Nick and Sam’s work, home and family。 I love the part that addressed working mother in the balance in work and kids。 Wandering if by working, that you short change the kids。 Love this book and can’t wait for the next one。 I a true Marie Force fan
Marti Jentis,
Nick never wanted to be President, then the call came and the choice was no longer his。 Sam refuses to give up her job, but comprises where the secret service is concerned。 Will they be able to keep their family first or will their new roles interfere? A great beginning to a new series with the characters we’ve come to know and love。
Jennifer Newell,
Very exciting additionFavorite Characters are back, Sam and Nick。 What an amazing ride as they find themselves now the President and First Lady! Recommended read! Loved it!

Julie,
Sam & Nick are FLOTUS & POTUS! Okay, so after the last book I honestly couldn’t wait to see how this unfolded, and I love that this takes place over only a couple days, so nothing is rushed。 There is a lot going on at home, The White House and the police station, and I greatly appreciate that nothing is rushed, all of the characters stay true, and Sam is typical Sam。Now, I really want to go to The White House after reading this, I want to see all the hidden areas!

Kate Wood,
OMG!!! I absolutely loved State of Affairs❤️。 Can’t wait to see where this goes。 To bad we don’t have a president like Nick and First Lady like Sam。 Marie Force has really out done herself。 Can’t wait to take this next adventure with her with the First Family❤️ It is a must read。
Jackie,
Just amazingAs a loyal Force reader, I adored this book, but I do believe you would like it as an intro to her works。 So much went on in the book, it was never slow。 The attention to detail in this book was phenomenal。 So much went on, yet we were able to keep up with it all。 The amount of research Force put in really showed。 Looking forward to the next one。
Mags,
State of Affairs kicks of Sam and Nick's new adventure as President and First Lady and what a fantastic adventure it is。 With the perfect mix of political intrigue as Nick navigates his new role, and suspense as Sam continues to do the job she was born to do, even though many feel she shouldn't。 And I was gripped from start to finish。 And with plenty of humour, heart, sweetness, love and so many familiar faces this truly was a cracking read, and I can't wait for State of Grace; especially with h State of Affairs kicks of Sam and Nick's new adventure as President and First Lady and what a fantastic adventure it is。 With the perfect mix of political intrigue as Nick navigates his new role, and suspense as Sam continues to do the job she was born to do, even though many feel she shouldn't。 And I was gripped from start to finish。 And with plenty of humour, heart, sweetness, love and so many familiar faces this truly was a cracking read, and I can't wait for State of Grace; especially with how this story ended。Would highly recommend。 。。。more

HistoryI loved the book because it added a new dimension to a relationship I have followed from the beginning。 However, as a retired history teacher, I must take issue with an error that has Jackson as Lincoln's vice president。 Andrew Johnson was Lincoln's vice president and Lyndon Johnson was Kennedy's。 HistoryI loved the book because it added a new dimension to a relationship I have followed from the beginning。 However, as a retired history teacher, I must take issue with an error that has Jackson as Lincoln's vice president。 Andrew Johnson was Lincoln's vice president and Lyndon Johnson was Kennedy's。 。。。more

So excited for the new direction of Sam and Nick's life, moving to the White House。 Lots of transitions and reactions of friends this book, that shoved the mystery a bit off to the side, but I liked the glimpse of Nick's new job and the inner workings of the White House。 So excited for the new direction of Sam and Nick's life, moving to the White House。 Lots of transitions and reactions of friends this book, that shoved the mystery a bit off to the side, but I liked the glimpse of Nick's new job and the inner workings of the White House。 。。。more

Kelley,
Another fabulous book from Marie! And this is the 17th book。 I’m still hooked! One of my favorite series to reread。 I love that it’s both romance and suspense。 Her last book left us with a big cliffhanger, but she delivered with State of Affairs! Cannot wait for the next book to come out! Another great read for Marie Force!
