I loved this story! I'm so glad Georgie and Jameson did get their HEA. They both grew tremendously throughout both books. Gosh, such an amazing duet.

The perfect end for this perfect political romance, even thou I wish that the ending was little longer. It arrived without me even knowing that it was coming.

Capitol Promises picks up right where Bargain leaves off, an enters us into the next big chapter of Georgie and Jameson’s lives. All of their hard work has paid off and Jameson has become the next leader of the free world. It seems that their battles might be over, and he and Georgie can plan their wedding and live in marital bliss, but sadly, that’s not the case. Now that they’ve come to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, it seems like things are being thrown at them from all angles and they have different goals.
Georgie wants her end of their bargain fulfilled, and she wants her choice for Secretary of Education selected. She also wants to begin planning the wedding and have her happily ever after with Jameson. For him, he’d rather settle into life in the Oval Office and find someone less slimy than the man Georgie has picked for his Cabinet. Their disagreements paired with different schedules requiring them to be apart tries to lead them to disaster. Rather than working as a united front, the stress and solitude of their jobs threaten to tear them apart and run far away from each other.
Promises had my gut in a knot almost from beginning to end. While I loved the moments Georgie and Jameson connected and got on the same page, my heart ached for their differences. I flew through the pages so I can find out if they’d make it and have a happy life together as well as enjoy the fruits of their labor and bask in all of their success.
Gallo did a wonderful job with all the political insights, the fictional aspect of a tall, dark, and sexy president, and the sizzling chemistry between him and Georgie behind closed doors. I feel like I was not only completely enthralled by this pair, but also educated on the dynamic of the first couple. Jameson and Georgie were certainly a powerhouse duo who owned every room they entered.
Walking away from this journey, I was not only inspired to return to my own character, but also in need of a trip to my nation’s capital and really soak in that patriotic pride.
This will not be the last of Gallo’s books I read. I’m happy to say I’m hooked on her style. If you’re looking for a dramatic and sensual duet, go meet Jameson and Georgie in Presidential Promises!

Possible spoilers ahead! :) I loved the first book in this series and this book was great until about half way. I felt like Georgie was a little too childish at times. Everything between her and Max escalated and understandably she wanted her own job and identity but she went overboard. It was a little struggle to finish it. The ending was okay. It is sweet the thought of him giving up running again for her but at the same time she fell in love with his ambition and his dedication to the country and now she just wanted all the attention all the time. Overall good series. Just the characters, mostly Georgie was a little childish towards the end.
