No one knows our arrangement is a devil’s bargain.I learned long ago love is a useless distraction. Money and status are the true motivators. Powerful alliances are more important than romantic entanglements. … important than romantic entanglements.
My passion is my work, and nothing, not even the promise of happily-ever-after, will keep me from accomplishing my mission.
This is why I agreed to stand by the man who shattered my heart years ago.
He wants a dynasty. I want an empire. All we have to do is fool the whole world.
I am Tara Zain. And my secrets could burn this country down.

Political romances aren’t my favorite genre, but I’m a sucker for second chance romances. Tara was tough as POTUS, and she and Ashur had steamy hot attraction. I liked this story, the politics were written into the plot well, and it was an engaging romance read.
A second chance at love or is it?
Tara and Ashur have an agreement before their marriage and it seem all black an white for the president and first lady. However true feelings arise and there is so much more for their future.
Between the steamy sexy scenes, the secrets and the angst this was an awesome read. You could feel the sexual tension between this two. It was like it leaped off of my kindle. However the best part was when Ashur and Tara come to terms with their past and their future. The struggle with loving each other but are made for each other.
The secret………….well it was life changing and the angst, suspense and drama that followed it made this the awesome read that it was.

“I’ve waited years to have you. You’re mine and I’m never letting you go.”
Heart pumping until the end, Commander by Sienna Snow was fantastic, gripping and on the edge of your seat sweetness. Snow has really out done herself in the Politics of Love series and I, for one, will be sad that it has ended.
Ashur Kumar and Tara Zain are bound by contract for the sake of the country. Ashur needs her as his First Lady and Tara needs him for his money, to save her friend. Lovers in the past that ended with broken hearts, can these two get past the broken history, the secrets and reclaim their love?
“We do have something to fight for. I’m fighting for you now.”
I have loved this series so much that when each book came out I jumped on it like a kid in a candy shop! Within the Politics of Love series, Snow has given us strong, positive, confident, feisty and sexy females.. Readers can feel empowered by reading Snow’s words. I for one, have loved reading the political words as well. Very intriguing and knowledgeable. My only concern with this story is I wish we could have more flashbacks on recapping on how Ashur proposed; emotions, what was said, etc. There was a gist of context within the story but I would have liked to have witnessed the feelings and words between the two as hearts are on the line. Maybe even have an epilogue as the ending was a little abrupt.
I encourage all to read Commander as well the two previous books in the series. You can’t go wrong with Sienna Snow’s work!
Why is this series over?? I want soooo much more! Sienna Snow is one of my new favorite authors and I need more! I am not usually a fan of political stories, but the unique twist that only Sienna can give us, I get completely sucked in! Commander was a masterpiece! FIVE HUGE STARS!!
Tara is an amazing women in everything she does but will she be able to keep her feelings on the side for Ashur. They are both hard headed but they will fight for what they want & Love!!
This book was amazing. The hole flow of the book was easy going and so lovely to read.
I enjoyed it from the start to the end!!! This is one of those books that you don’t and Cant put down to the very end. The characters will trap you in their world and make you feel everything they feel! They will take you on a mind blowing adventure throughout this book!
Tara and Ashur were deeply in love when they were young. Ashur’s father forces Tara to break up with him and in turn both of their hearts are broken. Years later Ashur is running for the presidency and needs Tara to complete his image. Will they be able to mend their broken hearts and forget the mistakes of the past? Will Tara’s secrets ruin their chances?
This is the third book in this series and I love the characters and story lines. I highly recommend it!
I love Tara. She’s kick-butt and a champion of saving young girls from trafficking. She’s now First Lady, to Ashur’s POTUS. The hot and cold between Ashur and Tara makes this a heart-racing read. They have so much against them and there’s many secrets. It’s like I’m watching a movie.
Absolutely amazing read. I enjoyed it so much. This book is the perfect mix of love,arranged marriage and politics. There was a little bit of action too.
I loved Tara and Ashur.
I love strong,powerful,brave and sexy women that know how much they are worth. Tara is very strong women that knows what she wants. I loved her character very much,but she did made me angry at some point.
Ashur is really in love with Tara,even after all those years of separation. And this is something that is obvious from the first appearance that he makes. He is build for the president,I feel like he is just enough calm and collected for that role. And that crazy contract is just a piece of paper,it’s obvious what is the thing that he really wants.
I was hooked to this book from the first page. It was great mix of two people who still care about each other,and love each other deeply,great steamy scenes and just a little bit action to spice things up.
The only thing that I didn’t like is the fact that it was too short,I just feel like Tara and Ashur deserved a few more chapters.But,overall this book was really amazing to me.
An amazing book. Extremely entertaining, captivating, and interesting read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong and intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I knew going into to this one that the love was going to be angsty, but damn I was not prepared. Sienna Snow effectively reached through the pages with her words and ripped my still bleeding heart from my chest. Ashur and Tara have a second-chance, fake marriage, political scandal kinda romance and the drama just makes it all the more delicious. I want more!
What another great addition to this phenomenal series. This book starts up a few years after the last book ended and it finds Tara and Ashur about to get married. They’ve got an agreement signed and it’s all business or so it seems.
Ashur and Tara’s love story is a 2nd chance romance. We pick up their love story a couple years down the road in this book. Ashur and Tara are about to get married and emotions are all totally rollercoaster ride for these two. 15 yrs ago, Tara broke up with Ashur because his father made her and then lied about the reason why she left him broken and hurting. Ashur’s father Minesh Kumer -a man who had power and money didn’t give her any choice. Either leave his son or he would completely ruin her family.
Fast forward 15 yrs later, Ashur is the president and Tara will be his first lady. There is still so much that these two don’t know about one another . Tara is dealing with her BFF Aneera’s kidnapping, and Aneera is being held by her bio father. Tara belongs to a secert organization, Solon which would ruin Ashur if that got out. Ashur has secrets of his own. Neither one is willing to trust the other with their secrets.
Will they ever be willing to let go off their past, be willing to trust one another again and let their true feelings shine ? I dont want to give too much of the story away or any spoilers but this is full of angst, drama, action, tons of steamy passion and engaging romance. Ashur and Tara make a great couple who have real issues and real problems yet still have true love that shows in this read.
This is another sensational, engaging, emotional and angsty 2nd chance romance that i i really enjoyed. The HEA is beautiful and steamy. I look forward to the next book in this series.
My rating: 4.8 stars *****
This is a very entertaining romance. Ashur and Tara’s story is a second chance romance. It is filled with secrets, drama, intrigue, angst and emotional turmoil. This steamy romance really keeps your attention. I am posting a completely voluntary, honest review.
Ashur and Tara we’re together 15 years ago until she told him it wasn’t going to work for them at all. After they lived apart 18 months ago they got together but with a contract that Ashur would give half his fortune to Tara and she had to give him 2 kids. They married at the courthouse but Planned a wedding for the family. There’s a lot of hurt with the father of Ashur and the past no one knows but him and Tara. Tara wants what her mom and dad have but with all the secrets it will never happened. Will they have a happy ever after?
Commander is book #3 in the Politics of Love Series and the best one so far. I didn’t think they could get any better but I was wrong. I would suggest reading the first two books for background but if you are just reading this one you can figure it out. I was drawn in from the start, once I started I could not put the book down. This book had so many twists and turns, sexy scenes and drama of course. This story is very well written the characters are very believable. I can’t wait for the next book to come out. I highly recommend this series you will not be disappointed.
Commander is the third book in the Politics of Love series. While it can be read as a stand-alone, I would recommend reading book 1 (Celebrity), and book 2 (Senator), because there are recurring characters.
I have been waiting for Ashur and Tara’s story. Ashur is our elected Commander-in-Chief. He’s been secretly married to Tara for 2 years. They have a romantic but broken history, so their marriage is basically a contract between them. They do have a big wedding and honeymoon, and Tara officially becomes First Lady, in the eyes of the public.
Tara and Ashur each have their secrets. They each have pain from the past that they must work through.
This story is beautifully written. I think the characters were well-developed and extremely likable. This story has love, intrigue, several villains, plenty of angst, and hot love scenes. There is another book in this series, and I cannot wait to read about the next couple. I love this series!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Tara and Ashur’s story!!
This is the third book in the Politics of Love series. Sienna Snow does capture the background of politics well. She doesn’t make it stuffy or boring by any means. I’m not a huge fan of politically themed books but these books are quite enjoyable. Their careers are in politics but it shows that politicians are mere humans too. The third installment is the story of Ashur and Tara’s love story. We pick up a couple years down the road in this book. Ashur and Tara are about to get married and emotions are all over the place for these two.
I must say that I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I did the last one. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed reading it but I didn’t connect to the characters as much as I did to Veer and Jacinta. The writing kept me entertained (although there were quite a few grammar errors in this ARC copy), and the story line where Tara was fighting to get Ameera back. I think that was my favorite aspect. Of course, there were a lot of sexy scenes between Ashur and Tara. And I’m sure I am in the minority here but I felt there were too many of them. I felt like I needed to skip through some of them just because there was so many. I’m no prude but I felt like this was a bit crude. Again, I’m sure I’m in the minority and I enjoyed the book, just not the aspect of the language used in certain parts. I just can’t imagine any guy talking like this in real life but I guess that is why we read fiction, right?! LOL
Fan of political love stories? Pick this one up when it hits shelves here shortly!
A lot of steamy sex scenes and I loved the main characters. I would definitely recommend this book.
This is the third book in the series and my favorite so far. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down for fear of not finding out how this one ended. Awesome writing, very, very sexy, suspenseful, twists and turns and lots of drama. You do not want to miss out on reading this book!!
Wow this 2nd chance love story will take you through the ringer! This is the 3rd book in the series but you should read the first 2 just to know the others characters! In the Begining Tara and Ashur break up 15 years prior but circumstances bring them back in each other lives 15 years later and they both have a secret that will blow both their families out of the water! And her little secret will it get out?
Commander is not your typical second chance love story. It is riveting, faced paced ride blending politics, secrets, lies, money and family influences. Tara Zain is one kick ass heroine. She is strong, smart, sexy and confident. The story is well developed as are the characters and I was 100% absorbed into the book. There is suspense and intrigue and of course hot sex! The chemistry between Tara and Ashur is pure fire! This was a fantastic read and I can’t wait for more from this talented author.
