Spicy Contemporary Romance with Paranormal Elements

Though most would consider GOLDEN MAN a strictly contemporary romance, I have categorized it as a paranormal due to a unique experience the heroine has in the Smithsonian Institute which triggers the turning point in her attitude and that's all I'm going to say about that, you'll have to read the book. GOLDEN MAN is a Cinderella story which is both steamy and filled with humor. The heroine is feisty, the hero is strong, and very persuasive, with just the tiniest bit of vulnerability which makes him even more loveable. Stephen Marshall, Oklahoma cowboy and politician, had gained the White House on a platform of honor and decency. The voters had wanted a change after embarrassment his predecessors had caused the nation with their scandals. Since he'd dedicated himself to public service, Steve's reputation had been so squeaky clean, the tabloids had tagged him the "monk." Steve had also won the admiration of many a female citizen, with his youth, and golden good looks. Lines for White House tours had swelled with those hoping to get a glimpse of the tall, handsome, and muscular Chief Executive. Regina Baxter had recently moved to the D.C. area. While Ginny certainly couldn't deny that the new president was the stuff of dreams, the single working mom had joined the tour queue hoping to teach her disgruntled son that his government did have its merits. Jake had stood her up, but she had other problems. The stress of the move had raised her blood pressure and the diuretic she'd be prescribed had just kicked in with a vengeance. Steve's aunt, his only living relative, and his top advisor are worried about his image. He'd been so careful not to stir up speculation regarding his love life. The monk title was closer to the truth than anyone realized. He'd thought the strategy of escorting a variety of respectable, politically connected women, to the various state functions would curtail speculation regarding his love life. That strategy had back fired. Lacking juice, the tabloids had decided to squeeze their own. Variety had translated to womanizing. Steve was advised to choose one woman from a list of suitable candidates. Steve had no plans to settle down, his father had not been the type of role model to teach a man to be a good mate, let alone a good father. No one who knew him could question his dedication to public service, yet no one understood how lonely had been the task he'd undertaken. Even his closest friends now called him Mr. President. The women he knew all had an agenda. Just once he'd like a woman besides his aunt to care about the man he was inside rather than what he could do for then. He would choose a woman to date, but not one of those on the list. His plan is to choose the next eligible woman, not connected with politics who walked through the door of the Oval Office. When the door leading to the Rose Garden flies open and Ginny Baxter falls at his feet, he knows she'd the one. Plain, ordinary Ginny, will be the recipient of the

Presidential Class Book

On a tour of the white house-34 year old Ginny Baxter is nearly arrested after she takes a wrong turn looking for the bathroom. She ends up in hand cuffs in front of the gorgeous single President of the United States, Steven Marshall. Steven's staff has just advised him that he needs to find a suitable woman as his escort for White House Functions and he jokingly says he will take the first woman through the door to his next reception. When the Secret Service brings Ginny into the room, Steve is instantly attracted, he has spent the past two years during his election and first year as a practical monk. Ginny finds herself as the president's date at an reception but she doesn't fit in, her clothes are not good enough and she doesn't know what to say, so she sneaks out. Steve is irritated that he was actually dumped and he can't let go of his attraction so he pursues Ginny until she relents and starts dating him. Before long, they are in a passionate affair that seems everyone disapproves of, Steve's maiden aunt, her sullen teenage son, a certain senator's daughter who's had her eye on Steve. Ginny is falling love with Steve but knows she can never give him what he needs, but when he kisses her she just can't resist. Steve will do whatever it takes to keep Ginny, even if it means sneaking out in disguise from time to time. This was a charming story and I loved the characters. I had a few issues with the way things played out especially with Ginny's son, but it was a very good endearing story.

a heart warming contemporary fairy tale

If you enjoyed the movie where Michael Douglas played the bachelor president in love with Annette Bennings' character(forgot the movies'name),you will love this.But where did they get the totally dredful cover art?It had nothing to do with the story inside.

This Book Left Me Wanting For MORE!

This is the First book I've read by this author and BOY WAS I IMPRESSED! This book spoke to the heart. The character were all too real to me. It just proved to me that emotion are very potent feelings, and you can be lead astray, by them, very easily. We could all take a lesson from this book. On a whole this was a beautifully written book. I only wish I could write 1/4 as well as this author. Ms. Rogers, please continue to write with the intensity and passion and realism you injected into this wonderful book, and I'll do my part by buying and reading them as fast as you can write them!!!

The mother of a teenager and the country's most eligible bachelor begin to see each other and fall in love with one another. However, he is political suave and she is suburban baseball mom,leaving no doubt that midnight will strike early for this unusual couple. GOLDEN MAN is a contemporary American fairy tale that succeeds due to the immense talent of Evelyn Rogers. The story line, especially the night of the "disaster", seems so real because of the awesome skills of the writer. The lead players are charming, but it is the political hacks, sycophants, and friends of the president that turns Cinderella goes DC into a deserved crown of glory for Ms. Rogers.
