The Senator’s Secret is a fitting read for this nation’s election season. This story has a bit of everything that encompasses the best and worst that can occur when love and politics collide. There is intrigue, subterfuge, heartache,and tears enough to keep the story interesting. All of that is nicely balanced with humor, compassion, sweet romance, and smiles. Combine all of this with an intense chemistry between two of the most attractive people in the Nation’s Capitol and one has everything one needs to pass a truly entertaining block of time.
The very best thing about The Senator’s Secret is the very well-defined and loveable main characters. They are both intelligent and deserving of the love they have to give each other. The supporting characters are also a bright spot in this quick-moving and complex story.
Jennifer Rebecca has written a completely entertaining novel that captures the attention and stimulates the imagination from beginning to end.
My first opportunity to read a story by this author!
There was plenty here to like. The characters, the banter, the plot, the steamy scenes.
I just loved the dialogue. It always amazes me how an author can create banter that has me smiling, cringing, feeling different kinds of feels. That’s just what Ms. Rebecca did for me in The Senator’s Secret.
I will be checking out more books by this author, for sure!
Fantastic!! I was completely hooked from page one and couldn’t put it down. Jake and Grace had sizzling chemistry and the banter between these two is just great. This book is wonderfully written, and filled with lies, blackmail, angst, humor, and love. An incredible start to this new series and I can’t wait for the next book.
The Senator’s Secret is everything I expect from Jennifer Rebecca. Off the charts chemistry between Grace and Jake is just the beginning. Banter, sexual tension, and soul deep feelings beyond the backdrop of politics makes this a romance that packs a punch.
Blackmail, lies, love, some humor and so much more! You’ll be pulled in to the story line and find it hard to put down once you start reading. A great romantic suspense you’ll be glad you added to your reading list. Definitely recommend!

AMAZING! I lost a whole day because of this book! I was completely sucked in from the very beginning and I could not put it down! Jake and Grace’s story was epic! This is one of the best book hangovers I have ever had! All the feels, smoking chemistry, and the best banter! FIVE HUGE STARS!
OMG!!! I really enjoyed reading The Senators Secret!! Fake, blackmail, lies, and love made for an exciting story!! Jennifer sucked me in with her humor and a budding relationship that ended with passion!! Remarkable book!!
The Senator’s Secret is book one in this author’s new Presidential Affair series. I quite simply adore Jennifer Rebecca’s stories. She never quite takes me down the path I think she’s going to take me, but each detour is so very worth it!
It’s a standalone story, but those of us that have read pretty much almost all of the books Jennifer Rebecca has written will enjoy the glimpses of some of our favorite heroes and heroines from other books. Nothing confusing to those that are just starting to read this author, but enough to make the rest of us nod our heads at the brief glimpses into the connections between everyone.
NICUnurse’s Rating: It’s a romantic suspense but I kinda saw the ending coming long before we got there. And that’s OK because it made this romance less dark than say her Claire Goodnite series. (Which is also fabulous, btw!) I’m afraid if I say much, it’s going to spoil this book, and it’s definitely one that you’ll want to read for yourself. It’s not written in a linear fashion, but there’s a purpose to how the book is laid out. And it’s kind of her signature, and I love it. At least for me, it’s part of the elements that keep me wanting to turn the page rather than turning off the light and going to bed before 3 am! Except I had to the first night because I fell asleep reading it no matter how much I wanted to keep going. (The iPad hitting my chin when it fell out of my hands was a rude awakening, just sayin’!) So suffice it to say, if you like romantic suspense that’s got some heat to it, you’re going to really enjoy this book.
I give The Senator’s Secret by Jennifer Rebecca 4.5 out of 5 stars!
Holy hot politics Batman!!!
This book gave me everything I was hoping for and more!

Overall Rating: 5 hot former Navy SEAL stars!
Standalone: Yes
Cliffhanger: No

In true Jennifer Rebecca fashion, this book was the right mix of snark, humor, angst, and romance. Though I will be honest it’s the snark and humor that keeps me coming back!
Grace is an headstrong, focused, lawyer that is concerned about her image. Jake is a dimpled, former Navy SEAL turned Senator, that is known to be a bit of a man whore. Grace has avoided Jake for years because he is dangerous to her heart and her lady bits! However, when Grace is blackmailed with slightly inappropriate pictures, she has to turn to the only person that can help…Jake.
What transpires is a less than conventional solution to the blackmail problem. Will they find the blackmailer? Will they come out unscathed? I will never tell.
What I will tell you is that Jennifer Rebecca brought her signature charm, sass, and humor to this light and funny romcom. There’s some angst, some misunderstandings and whole lotta great characters and storyline. We even get to see some characters from her previous series in this book, though you don’t need to read those to get the full value of this book.
So, the question is, do I recommend? Yep! I love Jennifer Rebecca and the characters. Will I keep reading! Yep, I can’t wait to see what happens next to Rick and Cara (and hopefully we get more Jake and Grace!)
Grace & Jake have been circling each other for years. She’s a legal fixer & he’s a former SEAL cum senator & Presidential hopeful.
Blackmail causes her to contact him& he proposes a marriage of convenience or is it? I thought the threats were a bit sus but you will need to read it to find out her betrayal. (Well in the end I guessed.)
This couple was smoking & you can feel their connection. Phew! Something that I like & keeps you invested in the story. Grace had a hard time coming to terms with his lifestyle & the hounding paparazzi. But I liked how Jake came to her rescue.
There’s a bit of scheming, some angst. Their friends Cara & Rick show a lot of anomosity towards the other, which will make the next story interesting too!
If you like a steamy, powerful couple you’ll enjoy this.

This book had me from page one. Jake and Grace are awesome in this story that is just like your typical political scandal filled with betrayal, lies and deceits! It is well written and you are drawn to the characters and connect to their drama. I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
This was my second book by the author it was diffidently a wild ride involving politics, blackmail, fake relationships and so much more. I really enjoyed the story itself and I found myself rooting for the characters, even when I didn’t like them I still loved them deep down.
Grace has worked hard to have a squeaky clean image so she can be the kind of lawyer who’s character is called into question. Jacob “Jake” Chancellor is a popular New York Senator that hopes to be the next US President but he’s also a ladies man. When Grace is blackmailed with some potentially scandalous pictures, she has to turn to the one man she goes out of her way to avoid. Jake might have the perfect solution to solve her problem, but the real question is can Grace live with the ramifications of his plan?
The chemistry between Jake and Grace was off the charts, these two behind closed doors was beyond hot. I like the other side characters, especially Gus, Jules, Cara & Rick. I liked that we got to catch up with characters from other stories, I had personally only read one of those stories but I know I will be reading the others in the future.
If i had to pick something I didn’t like about the story it was the timing of when things took place.
I know this is a work of fiction but the logical side of my brain struggled with Jake being single and running for president. Forget his reputation when it came to the ladies, but in general there have only been 2 non-married presidents in American history so I almost wanted this plot to happen like a year before the election, not the few months leading up to it, but I can also admit that it would take away from other parts of the plot if the time line was changed.
I am really excited to move on to book 2 and 3. I definitely recommend this book!
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

This was my first book by Jennifer.
The story of Grace and Jake is intriguing a bit of an enemy to lovers. The chemistry between the two is on !
I’m not a big fan of only single POV. I needed a lot more of Jake and what he was thinking, they’re so many situations where you needed to hear his voice and learn what was going through his mind.
The story is intriguing and the twist and turns are the perfect take.
I had a great time with this storyline it is well written and flow smoothly. The characters are well developed and kept me entertained.

This is the first book in this series and it was amazing. Grace is an headstrong, focused, lawyer and is very concerned about her image. Jake is a dimpled, former Navy SEAL turned Senator. Grace has avoided Jake for years because he is dangerous to her heart. When Grace is being blackmailed with some slightly inappropriate pictures she has no choice but to turn the only person that can help her. This book is full of suspense, twist and turns. The chemistry between Grace and Jake is intense and off the charts hot. This book was great and looking forward to the next one in this series.

This book was amazing! So much intrigue, I just couldn’t put it down. I loved the chemistry between Grace and Jake. This book is a great start to the series and I am looking forward to the next book.
Hot, sexy, and steamy.
The Senator’s Secret by Jennifer Rebecca was about a Senator running for President who convinces an attorney to be by his side for the campaign trail.
Even though this book was a typical format of romance novels, it was still a great read. Girl needs help from a man, he convinces her to be by his side in return for his help. Previous girlfriend tries to intimidate new girlfriend. And they fall in love after misunderstandings and arguments.
Regardless of the “typical romance”, this book had great characters, hot and steamy sex scenes, great writing, humor (magic penis ), and I am sure the author was an animal lover which just made me love the book even more. When the main character, Grace, has eight cats, you have to assume the writer is an animal lover….lol.
I enjoyed the fact that the author has added two more books to the series so that some of the characters will have a chance for their own happy ending. I know I’m definitely interested in Rick (Jake’s campaign manager) and Cara’s (Grace’s stylist) own love story. As well as the story behind Jules (Grace’s best friend).
Thank you to Jennifer Rebecca and BookSprout for the opportunity to read and review this book.
