ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 22, 2020

Now what?

Everything has changed, and not for the better. The not-so-perfect life I had as VP is gone, along with the team that’s been by my side each step of my political journey. Every move I make, every breath and thought, now affects millions, and the weight wears me down without Trey as a welcomed distraction.

They tell me war is coming, and I’m the one who has to stop it. But how is the question no one can answer. Past enemies lurk in the shadows while new ones hide in plain sight, stalking, watching, and waiting for the right moment to take me out. I need Trey back. I need them all by my side and ready to fight for me.

Can I undo the mess that my predecessor left in his wake, or will I break under the burden to save the world?

No pressure, right?

•••••••••

REVIEW: POWER SURGE is the fourth instalment in Kennedy L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult POWER PLAY romantic, political suspense series focusing on attorney/ now US president Randi Sawyer, and Secret Service agent Trey Benson. POWER SURGE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book three POWER SWITCH.

NOTE: If you have not read the previous instalments, there may be some spoilers in my review.

SOME BACKGROUND: A few years earlier Randi Sawyer became the vice-presidential running mate to Kyle Birmingham, a man whose dirty politics run deadly and deep but in doing so Randi has angered a very powerful man who is determined to destroy our story line heroine. Now in the position as the US President, Randi continues to find herself the target of some very powerful people.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Randi and Trey) POWER SURGE picks up immediately after the events of book three wherein the abduction of the president’s daughter has left Trey Benson struggling with a direction in life. No longer on the president’s protection team, Trey battles between head and heart until Randi takes a stand demanding Trey and Tank return to her side. As Randi struggles to navigate the office of the US president, a potential war looms on the horizon, a war that could potentially spell doom for the USA. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Trey and Randi, as Trey’s need to protect Randi is jeopardized by our heroine’s need to ‘go it alone’, a need that places Randi in constant danger from both outside and inside her protective circle.

POWER SURGE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control. The premise is intriguing and captivating; the characters are energetic and colorful; the romance struggles in the face of duty, perception and vulnerability. As per my previous reviews, I have to question the number attempts on our heroine’s life, attempts that reflect badly on her security and the man that she loves, as well as our heroine’s refusal to take the advise of her protection team.

Kennedy lives in Dallas with her husband, son, and 80lb Goldendoodle who still believes he’s a lap dog. A bookworm at heart, Kennedy loves to snuggle up in bed or by the campfire with an unputdownable book. She began writing two years ago with Falling for the Chance and has no plans of stopping. Her novels are witty, action-packed, and offer enough steam for a great facial. If you like strong heroines and sexy, tattooed men who can’t keep their hands off them, then this author is the one for you.
