REVIEW: The Forbidden Equation by JR Gray
Be still my romantic & political junkie heart. White House romances are my new favourite kink.
We met Liam in book one, the younger brother of Harden. A little standoffish, but he was also wonderfully spirited and strong. So you knew his story would be a path completely his own. And he didn’t disappoint. He has struggled with being the black sheep, unable to live up to his father's expectations. Dealing with depression doesn’t help either.
The one person to bring joy to his life is his father’s best friend and running mate Matt. Matt is everything you could want. Thoughtful, caring, and passionate about doing good for the world. He’s living a life not completely his own, but that sacrifice is worth it for the good he can do. Right?!
Until the idea of sacrificing Liam’s place in his life becomes too much to bear. Liam helps him realize that his own happiness is just as important as what he can do for other people.
This was smartly done, with so many great parts. From the relationship to political monologues. And of course JR’s usual care for mental health issues.

Synopsis:
My father's the president and my brother's the golden boy which leaves me the black sheep. The son who never wanted to be here at all. The white house my gilded cage, and the secret service my prison guards.
I'm nearly twenty-one and nothing about my life is normal.
The only thing giving me life and any motivation to get out of bed is the way he looks at me. The stolen glances across the West Wing. Heated gaze in the private dining room.
He's my father's best friend, which isn't even the worst part, he's also the vice president. Utterly off limits and I can't bring myself to care. Can't bring myself to stop encouraging his flirting, dreaming, and hoping he won't be able to resist me forever.
