State of Affairs (First Family Book 1) by Marie Force is another book by this amazingly prolific author that continues to wow this reader! Sam and Nick are an absolute pleasure to read. Their relationship is refreshingly real and fun, even in trying times. Truly, I treasure the time spent reading anything and everything by Marie Force. I swear she speaks my love language as her characters are endearing, often spicy to steam things up while also heartwarming.
The (now) First Family is in the midst of being tested as they experience a truly shocking reality of Nick’s position, but if any couple/family can handle every hurdle, obstacle and antagonist, it’s Nick and Sam.
And the plot! The plot and subplots of this book are completely captivating. From the transition from second family to first family, Sam’s determination to continue working and her new cases, the emotional impact of everything happening to them, the country and the MPD, it is non-stop. There is so much happening that State of Affairs is a page turner in it’s own right for more reasons than I can name, but most of them revolving around the myriad of characters, surrounding Nick and Sam in addition to their jobs. Sam truly is Wonder Woman and totally earns the title!
I could go on and on about these characters and this book, but in short, this book fits perfectly with the Sam and Nick series saga and this author continues to entertain and thrill reader fans of this fantastic couple; their life, love and family they created and maintain with humility, heart and humor. A must read even if you are new to Sam and Nick. You won’t regret it.

MARIE NEVER FAILS!!!
What if you went to bed after celebrating Thanksgiving and wake up as President of the United States? We all knew this was coming because of the cliffhanger in the last Fatal book but had no idea how smoothly Ms. Force would enable the transition from one loved series to another series just starting and believe me, it's gonna be equally loved! All the characters are here and continued, many of them with new rolls to play. The storyline is always amazing and Ms. Force is such a great storyteller and has such a way with words. Those of us who love Sam and Nick and their families/friends/co-workers, feel as though we know these people and are experiencing the same emotions and sensations, they don't feel like characters in a book, they feel like real people. You cannot wait and you want to know what's going to happen next, and you want to be there, you want to be a part of it. It is refreshing to discover the reality of current politics and the pandemic are not a part of this book; we all need to escape from reality. (Sorry Marie, I used a semicolon!) I'm not a writer and I don't write book reviews, but this book is enjoyable from start to finish, it's a continued journey that started with the first book in the Fatal Series, and I hope it continues forever. Well done!
