I’ve made far too many promises that are impossible to keep. I assured the country a leader they could depend on and trust. I vowed everything and then some to the woman I love.Someone is bound to be disappointed. Poised to become the next leader of the United States of America, I’m bound by oath of office to make good on every campaign pledge. Which means giving Georgie back something she … something she sacrificed – the platform to make a difference.
But my stubborn pride may cost me everything – both the dream and the girl.
In the end, I may just have to break a few promises to keep what matters most.

First off, yes you must read Presidential Bargain first. NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS. Now, that’s out of the way and you’ve read book one, you’ll want to read book 2. Although I warned that there was a ‘sorta’ cliff depending on whether or not you took into account the epilogue, book two picks up right where one left off and prepare to hit the ground running.
What I have learned with debut authors that I enjoy their first release, they improve with writing and gain their stride in the voice of their storytelling. Ms. Gallo didn’t let me down. The in-depth connection to the characters was strengthened in Capital Promises. You got more understand of what was driving the MC as they tackle the hurdles of Washington DC. However, Jameson did not lose his ‘damn jerk’ hero status. And Georgie strengthening as a female lead to show women don’t have to bulldoze to have power. The story was well paced and gave the reader what I would say was the best HEA the characters could have.
If you love a story with something you can sink your teeth into without feeling preached at or drowned in details, the duet by Ms Gallo is an engaging read. I’m pleased I took a chance and expect each novel she writes will have us turning the pages wanting more. 4.5 out of 5 stars
Capitol Promises is better read after first reading Presidential Bargain.
This is a nice conclusion to the story of Jameson and Georgie.
Jameson begins his presidency as driven as ever. Trying his best to make good on his campaign promises while also keeping his promise to allow Georgie to take the lead on education reform. Jealousy can make a person do dumb things though. And when you’re the President of the United States, your attention can’t be divided. Can he keep up his drive to help shape the future of politics in the US? Or will the distractions in his personal life be too much for him to juggle?
I loved the balance Georgie brought to Jameson’s life. . .when he allowed her to. I loved how devoted Georgie was to Jameson. Though there were things Jameson did I don’t feel the President would be able to.
First off I’m going to start off saying politically inspired books are not one of my favorites but Rebecca did a great job with these two books that I couldn’t get enough. I think in order to be able to fully enjoy this book you really need to read Presidential Bargain. I was hooked from book 1 and couldn’t wait to see how their story was going to play out.
I absolutely loved their journey to the White House. We all know campaigning isn’t easy but they have so many things thrown at them and we get to see if their love is strong enough to withstand all the curve-balls thrown at them. Not only that but her dreams start getting drowned out and she is going to need to take a stand with them but she does it in the best way. She shows that she is the perfect First Lady. Oh and lets not forget the steamy scenes. This book is just an all around enjoyable read and I can’t wait to read more by Rebecca Gallo in the future!!
After reading Presidential Bargain I wanted to read the sequel so badly. I would suggest reading Presidential Bargain first to get the most enjoyment out of this book series. Georgie and Jameson are on the brink of acquiring his dream, but what about hers? What about the man who hurt her and others so badly? When everyone around you is attacking where will Georgie turn. The man she loves is so enthralled his own dreams that he stops seeing her. What will Jameson sacrifice for Georgie or will she be the ultimate sacrifice for his dreams? I love following more of Georgie and Jameson’s story. I love the heat that they bring whenever they are together. Just wished there would have been more of those moments. I did like the battle of whose dreams should be followed. I love this author and I was so glad she gave us more of Georgie and Jameson.
