Warned as a girl to keep her kisses to herself, Greer Galloway disobeys twice–once on her sixteenth birthday as she’s kneeling in a pool of broken glass, and another time after a charming stranger named Embry Moore whisks her into the dazzling Chicago night. Both times she falls in love, and both times her heart is broken beyond repair. And so as an adult, she vows never to kiss–or to love again.
That’s until the Vice President of the United States shows up at the university where she teaches, and asks for one thing: for her to meet with the hero-turned-President Maxen Colchester. Maxen, the soldier who was her first kiss in that pool of broken glass.
And the other complication? The Vice President is none other than charming Embry Moore himself.
Soon, Greer finds herself caught between past and present, pleasure and pain–and two men who long for each other as much as they long for her. And as war and betrayal press ever closer, they tumble headlong into a passionate love affair that will change the world…
From the USA Today bestselling author of Priest comes a contemporary reimagining of the legend of King Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot–elegant, carnal, and unforgettable.

Review:
I will admit this book made me uncomfortable during certain scenes. But sometimes, that is needed, pushing people past their boundaries. The bare bones storyline of the the relationship between Ash, Greer, and Embry was angsty and emotional. I think there both Ash and Embry are still hiding something that will derail them in the future.
Greer’s relationship with Abilene is interesting as well. There has to be more to the story than just jealousy on Abilene’s part. She appears to be in cahoots with people out to get Ash and Greer. Also, what’s up with Merlin and how does he REALLY fit into everything?
I was ok with the HEA even though I know this is a trilogy. I could see this being a stand a lone. The cliffhanger was unexpected, but actually makes me want to finish the series.
Most Fascinating Character: Merlin Rhys
Merlin seems to be in the know about everything. He is always somewhere in the background manipulating things. He seems to know the future and had a hand in many of the events in the past. He has an aura of mystery about him and just always THERE.
