Great

Really enjoyable. Has a good flow and enjoyable characters. It's got some heat but it's not exactly detailed. Has some violent aspects, but again, not too much graphic detail. I liked it.

Fabulous

John Solo has done an amazing job bringing to life the characters from an already superb book.
He just seems to get the humour, the excitement, the fear and the sadness, and each emotion is played out to the full in his voice.
From the first word to the last he hit the right note each and every time. I cannot wait for the next one.

Brilliant

If I could have given this more than 5 stars I would have. I listened to the whole thing in three days and had to download the second book straight away. It’s a shame that’s not out on audio yet.
Fast paced, tense with some sweet scenes thrown in ...what more could you ask for. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Enemies of the State

This was the first book I ever read by Tal Bauer about 3 years ago and hoped the series, Executive Office, would someday come to audio. I was thrilled earlier this year when I heard it was being released at last and downloaded and listened to it in one sitting.
It is a highly intelligently, well written and researched political thriller with a slow burn love affair centred around the fictional President of the United States, Jack Spires, and Secret Service Agent Ethan Reichenbach, head of security for the presidential detail.
The complex plot and character development is beautifully crafted, especially Jack and Ethan, I just loved them both.
I can’t wait for the next book to come to audio.
John Solo’s narrating was excellent and I enjoyed him bringing the excellent book to life.

Great but a few cringy moments

Great premise and fresh, interesting storyline. Good character development. Finished it quickly as I wanted to know what was going to happen next.

Lost a star due to overly dramatic prose at times and some unrealistic moments (e.g. leaving POTUS alone in the car to go into the drug store, days after a threat on his life, really?)

One other thing, which is probably just a personal preference, but the constant use of “making love” doesn’t work for me. Maybe it’s just a me thing but that expression gives me the ick and I certainly wouldn’t be using it over and over again with my partner and I can imagine two men saying it even less. But as a straight women, what do I know?

Anyway, generally a very good, enjoyable read and I’ll be moving straight onto the sequel.

Excellent, so good

Such an awesome book, didn't think it could get any better. But John Solo does such a good job of bringing the characters to life, conveying the right amount of tension or comedy value when needed.
As a huge fan of the novel and series as a whole, have waited so long for an audio version, and it was so worth the wait. Being on the rest of the series.

All aspects covered

thrilling, suspenseful, funny. I whooped, I sneared I laughed.

didn't think I was going to enjoy this book but I did. liked the characters and the journey. could have done with a couple of prolonged deaths of certain characters. I have to admit I sometimes have rewind as I lost who was saying what to whom. that is to do with the style of the writing not the narration.

OMG !!

Nothing could have prepared me for this thrilling ride. There are so many WTF moments that made it impossible for me to stop listening.
Amazing story, given justice by a great voice.

A heartwarming story

I don't know what is more fantastical about this book - a president who has moral compass and integrity, or a love that is pure, strong and full of respect.
Either way, it was a good listen. Both romance and action are written with a good deal of tension that hooks you up right away. The only reason I give it a "4" is the cheese that gets a bit too much to bear, especially during the last hour.
