Search - First Lady

Really enjoyed this one. The epilogue was a little too "canned" and Pollyannaish, but otherwise, it was a book of likeable, believable characters.

I loved this book. I laughed, I cried and had a good feeling at the end. As always Susan Elizabeth Phiilips is the best.

The beautiful young widow of the President of the United States thought she was free of the White House, but circumstances have forced her back into the role of the First Lady. Not for long, however, because she's made up her mind to escape -- if only for a few days -- so she can live the life of an ordinary person. All she needs is the perfect disguise...and she's just found it. As an entire nation searches for her, the First Lady teams up with an infuriatingly secretive, quietly seductive stranger and two adorable little orphaned girls in need of a family. And all together they head out across the heartland chasing their own American Dream--on a wild journey, adventure, and glorious rebirth.

Wonderful, funny, warm book reinforcing the value of families. Left me with warm fuzzies!

I absolutely loved everything about this book. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY writes quite like SEP. Her characters in this story are so multidimensional, you forget they are made up people. And the plot kept me turning pages into the wee morning hours. She is the best romance writer I've ever read. And I read 'em all!

Inventive story line, and quite well written. This story included lots of humor, a little tasteful sex, and a peppy, though, of course, predictable plot. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, and I think I read it in one day.

As a rule, I do not read romance novels. I picked this book up because the title caught my attention. From the beginning it was a page turner. The story is about someone having the most glamorous job (position) in the world but doesn't want it. She is a virtual prisoner in the White House and devises a means of escape and heads across the country with the secret service and FBI searching for her. She meets a man with two children he doesn't want and by joining him continues to elude her destiny. You realize that before the book ends she will fall in love with the children and with him. Yet even knowing this, the book keeps your attention. Since reading the book, I have become an avid Susan Elizabeth Phillips fan and have now read all of her books.

Very entertaining!

Ns. Anderson always pleases. One of the best romance writers around. Smart, funny, and heartfelt.

This is a fantastic tale of a famous American politician's wife, who goes "missing" on her own accord & hooks up with an instant family. It's funny, poignant & full of HOT moments.

love all her books

Another good book from Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

First Lady of the white house is a widow. She wants to escape from her life and soon finds it. She meets a man with a secret of his own and two orphaned little girls. Together they take a journey across the heartland chasing their own American dream.

This was the first book I read by this author and I found it charming. I read it twice.

Wonderful book. I liked the way Mat didn't sugarcoat his feelings toward the girls. The way he referred to the baby as Demon and Lucy as the teenager from hell. He wasn't all mushy. Yet, beneath his big gruff exterior, he truly cared about the children. He and Nealy make a great pair. I certainly wouldn't like to live with so much public exposure. This was really an eye opener about how celebraties are treated.
