Bedmates audiobook

ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review Bedmates by Nichole Chase was a sweet political themed love story that took me by surprise. Wild child daughter of the US President and a the sexy confident son of the Vice President, who happens to be a combat vet. So can two American royalties find a common political ground in Washington DC? The premise of the story of Maddie and Jake instantly had me glued to my kindle. I loved the interaction between these two as they both begin to see that they both have grown up. When Maddie gets in trouble, her father demands that she helps with a veterans program that Jake handles. Jake’s mother political ambition to be the next President tells Jake that he needs to handle this new program/bill for the Veterans since this is something that hits close to him since he too is also an injured combat vet. As Jake and Maddie begin to spend more time with each other, feelings begin to form. But as they get closer, a devastating news could tear them apart? Will Maddie be able to save Jake from his downward spiral? Or is this political American royalty relationship doomed?I really enjoyed Bedmates since it took more of an emotional undertone of love, friendship, new beginnings, and healing. The connection between Maddie and Jake was fresh and cute to see as these two former friends began to see each other in a whole new light and perspective. So if you are looking for a romance that laces politics, family, and new beginnings then this book might be for you. Nichole Chase

5 - "No one else matters..." Stars!Bedmates is the first book I have read by Nichole Chase, and also is the first book in her new American Royalty series, and I have to say I was mightily impressed with what I read.I have to be honest and say I am not a huge lover of having a side of politics with my romantic reading, but the good thing about Bedmates is that you pretty much leave the realms of believably at the first chapter, what with fictional state visits from made-up countries and Princes and Princesses as part of the book, the relationship between Jake and Maddie was definitely the main focus of the story, and not the politics. Jake wasn’t the perfect, pristine boy anymore. He had grown and matured. As you can imagine, America’s first daughter and the Vice Presidents war veteran son having any sort of relationship brings about complications, but at the beginning they are sort of ‘frenemies’, but as they are tasked to work together on a project to build homes for ex-soldiers with disabilities, it becomes obvious very early on that the chemistry between this couple is more than just snark, sarcasm and dislike. "Your cheeks are red, Madlibs…""You just try to keep up Golden Boy."Maddie has secretly been attracted to Jake for years, but she realizes that the guy she once knew is definitely not the one who returned from war, the external scars are not the only ones he is carrying, and as the story progresses and their relationship builds its apparent that he is not being open and honest about how everything is affecting him."I’m not perfect. I’m broken on the outside and the inside, but I’m getting better."There are so many layers to Bedmates, yes there is a political aspect in that Jake’s mother plays a relevant part in their story, but I loved that this book focussed on them as a couple and how they dealt with the issues that got in the way of developing a meaningful relationship, in-spite of outside influence to their detriment."It would be nice to have a friend to relate to."The other thing I loved about this book is the fact that the author didn’t rush Jake’s processing of things in the second half of the book, time is given and the dual POV from him and Maddie gave great depth to the times they are apart."You’re a little mean to me, but that’s okay, because you’re fucking awesome in bed."Definitely an author I will be looking too read more from in the future, Bedmates was an outstanding introduction for me to Nichole Chase’s writing, and I cannot wait for more from this series."You’ve ruined me…"ARC generously provided via Edelweiss, and it was a pleasure to provide the above honest review.

This book practically screamed my name. American royalty + wounded hero = Smack dab in the middle of Shelly's sweet spot. For the most part - it did not disappoint. I felt all swoony over Maddie and Jake's story. It moved pretty quickly, but there were some pretty fantastic moments that allowed me to buy in. The banter is light and fun and the history that the couple shares lends credibility to how quickly their feelings formed. I was a little worried at the very beginning that I wouldn't warm to Jake, but in the end I liked both of them a lot and invested in their story.That said, sometimes it fell a little flat for me. The dialogue went a little stiff, and the angst seemed like it was reaching for a place that didn't entirely ring true. I found the first half to be a little more guilty of this than the latter half - and it's not that it took away my enjoyment of the book so much as it pulled me out of the story, causing me to arch a brow in doubt. Secondary character award goes to Puz who 100% captured my heart from the moment he was introduced in this story. I completely adored his secondary storyline and the role he played in Jake's life. In fact - Jake's character arch really struck a chord with me and, for me, was the most rewarding part of this whole story. There are some deeply emotional moments and it completely did justice to his character.In all - Bedmates went a little deeper than I originally thought it was going to and I love it for doing that. I was thoroughly entertained and wonderfully swept away by some of the breathtaking moments between Maddie and Jake. Their story is a bit of a bumpy ride, but one I'm glad to have taken. ~ Shelly, 3.5 stars

★★★½Bedmates was a surprise in a good way. I listened to the audiobook as a way to pass time, not really excited about the synopsis, almost letting the title expire back to the library catalogue...but there were some pretty complex themes incorporated that made me very glad I gave it a go. I have unintentionally read an overflowing handful of books lately about veterans and the aftermath of their combat experiences and Bedmates is another. I always applaud authors for showing the nightmare that some of these men and women face. Perspective and appreciation is a good thing. Lots of angst and romance, a bit of role reversal since we have a "bad girl" instead of the typical "bad boy", and lovely softening emotions. Check it out!My favorite quote:"Don't give up on being happy because of what might go wrong, because a lot could go right."

I received this book for free through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers.I started reading this book way back in January and put it on hold for the longest time because I was in such a reading slump. This was a nice and cute romance book. I did like that it touched upon PTSD which is a heavy subject and showed the effects that it can have. Overall, it didn't blow my mind, but it was still a good romance novel.

When you first meet Maddie McGuire, you might think she’s just like every other college student who wants to make the world a better place. Her current situation, recently being arrested for breaking into a facility where they do testing on animals, puts her in a bit of a pickle. See, she’s not like other girls. She’s the daughter of the President of the United States of America. And her mistakes end up all over the news and cause her father a lot of embarrassment. Jake Simmon has recently returned from Afghanistan with injuries that have forever changed him physically and mentally. His mother, the current Vice President and candidate for the Presidency, is determined to use him to her advantage in any way that she can. Jake, however has plans of his own and that’s to bring attention to the needs of other returning veterans. I love book where characters have some history, it really adds to a story and makes quick reads like this one and the connection between the characters a bit more believable for me. For Maddie and Jake, there are some hard feelings on Maddie’s behalf and initially she finds it hard to forget what he did to her, but despite her anger and irritation with him, she finds that he’s also a bit irresistible. Plus the chemistry between Jake and Maddie was electric and I truly enjoyed watching their relationship grow. Chase writes some steamy and sexy scenes!I actually really liked Maddie, she was warm and genuine with those she truly cared for. I loved her relationship with her father and would have really even loved seeing more of them together. Jake’s mom on the other hand… I can’t remember reading about a recent character that I hated more. Her biggest issue is what she sees growing between Jake and Maddie because despite who Maddie’s father is, she feels that she really has nothing to offer Jake. Jake like I said, is pretty charming. He’s almost hard to resist, but he has some inner demons that he’s still trying to work through. I thought that Chase did a really good job of showing the effects of PTSD and she really didn’t sugar coat the issues that survivors and servicemen returning home have to deal with. A lot of it was heartbreaking, but a lot of it was very hopeful and great to read! Overall a wonderful read full heartbreak and hope and a story that you maybe weren’t expecting. I know I wasn’t, but I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from Chase. Thank you to the publisher for the early copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

It is not easy being the daughter of the President of the United States, especially when you are an independent young adult who happens to get into trouble every once in a while. Well, this time Maddie McGuire got herself in deep when is caught breaking into a lab that uses animals for experiments. Maddie is given community service. Her service helping to promote a new program that builds homes for returning Veterans of War. Maddie loves the idea to help the veterans out but her chosen co-promoter is the perfect Jake, the Vice President’s son…the gorgeous never give her the time of day Jake.Jake has just come back from Afghanistan and dealing with a battle field injury that has altered his life. The last thing he needs is the rambunctious Maddie by his side while he has to put on that perfect face for his mom’s political career.Together Jake and Maddie find that they have more in common than they thought; that some things are worth fighting for; and there is a fine line between driving each other nuts and explosive passion.Chase, once again, pens a tale of heart and home. Utterly cute and endearing romance that touches on some political hot spots that desperately need to be addressed.

OMG people ...... THE FEELS!! Let me tell you what I LOVE ... I love reading a story that is progressing nicely with warmth and feelings and then BAM, your heart is gutted and you're a blubbering mess ... you've been warned!What attracted me to this story was the main characters. I mean we've all read stories of the first daughter/son before ... but I myself have never read a story where the leads were the children of the President and Vice President. And I was intrigued at the certain impending disaster that was sure to occur :)Bedmates is going to surprise you. At least it did me. The story as a whole you will not see coming because it is WAY more than what you read in the synopsis. It has a depth and growth and layers that will sneak up on you and it is just SO well written! My first read by Nichole Chase but I will be stalking her from this point on.Maddie McGuire is the first daughter. Trouble seems to be her middle name. But not for the reasons you might think. You see, she's an activist. She means well. She just maybe doesn't think things through as well as she should LOL Jake Simmon is the Vice President's son. He's home from the military trying to re-coop from injuries both physical and mental. He has serious survival's guilt and PTSD. These two are an unlikely pair, but they also fit perfectly together. They've known each other since they were children but it took them becoming adults to really see one another. And what they see they really really like :)This book really captivated me. I couldn't wait to read what happened next and I really got invested in their relationship journey. It was very sexy and sweet and hugely poignant. Excellent job Nichole Chase! I cannot wait to read more and more ...Copy provided for blog tour review

Und trotzdem will ich nur dich.Die junge Madeline will die Welt verändern und schießt dabei gern mal über das Ziel hinaus. Als sie nach einer Rettungsaktion in Polizeigewahrsam genommen wird, hat ihr Vater, der Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, endgültig genug. Maddie muss Sozialstunden ableisten – ausgerechnet bei Jake Simmon. Der Sohn der Vizepräsidentin und sie könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein, doch seit einem schweren Unfall ist Jake nicht mehr der perfekte Politikersohn, der er einmal war. Er merkt bald, dass Maddie und ihn mehr verbindet, als er zugeben wollte – auch wenn sie so tabu für ihn ist wie niemand sonst auf der Welt … Quelle: luebbe.deMeinung: Eine halbe Flasche Wein, schlechte Planung und das unangebrachte Bedürfnis die Welt zu retten: [...]Das Cover mochte ich vom ersten Augenblick an. Es hat irgendwie etwas royales und dich schlichtes an sich und passt einfach wie die Faust aufs Auge. Keine Menschen, nichts, das eine schnulzige Geschichte erahnen lässt, solche Cover mag ich. Dadurch kann man auch ohne Vorstellungen der Personen in die Geschichte eintauchen und sich selber ein Bild machen.Der Schreibstil der Autorin war wirklich sehr gut zu lesen, ich kam schnell weiter und war sofort in der Geschichte drinnen. Erzählt wird alles aus Sicht von Jake und Maddie, diese Perspektiven wechseln sich immer ab, dadurch bekommt man in beide Gedanken tiefe Einblicke. Auch die restlichen Beschreibungen waren ausführlich genug und dadurch konnte ich mir alles sehr gut vorstellen.Gleich zu Beginn lernt man Maddie, die Tochter des Präsidenten kennen. Sie setzt sich für Tiere ein und bricht darum in eine Firma ein, um die Versuchstiere zu befreien. Das bringt ihr schlussendlich eine "Strafe" ein, bei der sie mit Jake, dem Sohn der Vizepräsidentin zusammen arbeiten muss.Ich muss zugeben, ich habe nicht viel von dem Buch erwartet. Ich dachte es wird wie jede andere Liebesgeschichte, die sich mit Prominenten Leuten beschäftigt, oberflächlich und unglaublich kitschig. Ich lag falsch. Das Buch hat mich positiv überrascht und am Ende war ich traurig als es vorbei war. Der Einstieg in die Geschichte fiel mir leicht, Maddie mochte ich sofort, denn sie ist unabhängig und traut sich auch etwas allein zu tun und rennt nicht immer zu ihrem Vater, wenn sie etwas möchte. Sehr sympathisch, muss ich sagen. Recht bald kommt dann auch Jake dazu, es gibt bereits eine Hintergrundgeschichte der beiden, diese wird kurz angeschnitten und das wars dann auch schon, sie hatten nie eine engere Beziehung und mögen sich nicht sonderlich.Was ich gleich positiv hervorheben möchte ist, dass die Liebe sich langsam entwickelt hat, es ging nicht zu schnell und es gab auch keine unnötig langen Dramen. Mit der Zeit haben die beiden einfach zu einander gefunden und sind dann auch geblieben. Jake ist kein Bad-Boy, sondern ein wirklich netter Kerl und Maddie sucht nicht den Streit, sondern versucht diesen so gut wie möglich zu verhindern. Solche Pärchen finde ich in Büchern immer erfrischend, denn alles andere gibt es schon en masse.Ein weitere positiver Punkt ist die Handlung. Da Jake beim Militär gekämpft hat, leidet er noch unter den Folgen, er hat außerdem ein Bein bei seinem letzten Einsatz verloren, dies wird im Buch auch immer wieder angeschnitten, wenn ihm der Stumpf weh tut. Was hier aber gut ist, Maddie bemitleidet ihn nicht, sie behandelt ihn nicht anders als alle anderen Jungs und will ihn auch nicht versorgen.Es dreht sich also viel um die Veteranen, das Projekt, welches Jake in Angriff nimmt und bei dem Maddie ihre Strafe abbauen soll ist ein eben solche für Veteranen. Die beiden bauen Häuser, in denen die Familien leben können und setzen sich auch anderweitig für sie ein. Durch eines dieser Häuser treffen wir auf Cyril, einen alten Freund von Jake, der ebenfalls im Krieg verwundet wurde. Zu sehen, wie sich die beiden behandeln, wie sie damit umgehen und was sie der Krieg gekostet hat war toll zu lesen, es fühlte sich richtig real an.Maddie versucht indes auch ihren Gesetzesentwurf zu schreiben, der Tiere vor Versuchen schützen soll. Hier stellt sich Jakes Mutter, die Vizepräsidentin quer, denn es muss ja ein kleines Drama geben. Wie dieses eingebaut wurde fand ich irgendwie nachvollziehbar, seine Mutter möchte Jakes Ansehen nicht mit Maddies Machenschaften besudeln, sie denkt eben wie eine zukünftige Präsidentin. Hin und wieder kam es mir dann schon etwas dick aufgetragen vor, aber das war nicht allzu schlimm.Ein zweites Drama hat sich am Ende des Buches eingeschlichen, dieses zeigt wie sehr die Medien die Wahrheit verfälschen und dass sie uns alles glauben machen können. Irgendwie fand ich das erschreckend, aber auch sehr gut geschrieben.Ich habe aber auch einen Kritikpunkt. Auf diesen hat mich eine andere Teilnehmerin der Leserunde aufmerksam gemacht. Es wird immer wieder erwähnt, dass Maddie studiert, doch nie geht sie zur Uni, nie lernt sie und es wird auch nicht erwähnt, dass gerade Ferien wären. Das war dann doch zu unrealistisch und ein grober Fehler, meiner Meinung nach.Von der Handlung selbst bin ich recht begeistert, es dreht sich um viele wichtige Dinge, wie Freundschaft, die Veteranen, die Tiere und Freundschaft aber auch um die Liebe. Dieser ganze Mix hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Auch die sexuellen Aspekte kommen bei diesem Buch nicht zu kurz und es gab eine Szene, da musste ich richtig lachen, weil sie einfach von erotisch zu witzig wechselt. Die Autorin verbindet Sex und Humor sehr gekonnt, sie kann intime Szenen toll beschreiben, diese aber auch durch lustige Kommentare der Protagonisten wieder auflockern. All das hat dem Buch etwas Reales verliehen, denn im echten Leben hat auch keiner Sex, stöhnt und schreibt und danach redet keiner mehr war, nein, auch im echten Leben gibt es blöde Kommentare oder witzige Situationen, daher gefiel mir das in dem Buch wirklich gut.Das Ende war nochmal in ein kleines Drama und einen wunderschönen Schluss aufgeteilt, da dies ein Einzelband ist (Band zwei kann man unabhängig lesen) war das auch der perfekte Abschluss.Fazit:Obwohl ich nicht damit gerechnet habe, hat mich das Buch sofort in seinen Bann gezogen. Die Geschichte hat mir sehr gut gefallen und auch die Charaktere waren nicht solch verwöhnte Schnösel, wie man es sich vorstellt, sondern sind sehr bodenständig geblieben. Für dieses Buch vergebe ich 4 von 5 Sterne.

Take an enemies-to-lovers romance, throw in a dash of a forbidden relationship, add wounded war veterans and an adorable dog, and you have a pretty awesome basis for a story. Bedmates takes all of these things and combines them into a very sweet story that is sometimes heavy and heartbreaking.Madeline is the President’s daughter who’s more free-spirited and rebellious than the perfection expected of her. She’s seen as an impulsive screw up after being arrested for her activism. Maddie loves her family, but she’s not a fan of the politicking and grandstanding that comes along with it. What she does know is that Jake hates her and now she has to work with him to make restitution for her arrest.Jake is a wounded war veteran who is constantly traveling while helping his mother, the Vice President, with her returning veteran program. He’s constantly on the go for her dog and pony show. With all of his traveling, Jake has never dealt with the effects of the war and his PTSD is left untreated. Maddie was the last person Jake expected to help ease his suffering, but spending time with her becomes a necessity to his sanity.I loved Maddie and Jake, both together and separately. They just have good hearts, are hard workers, and are genuinely caring people. Whether they are fighting for the better treatment of animals or people, their depth of feeling shows throughout the book. Their tension, banter, and good-hearted ribbing were entertaining.I also enjoyed the “American Royalty” aspect of the story. Seeing how the children of politicians are raised, paraded around for photo ops and TV appearances, and expected to fall in line was eye-opening. Bedmates makes an excellent first book in this new series and I am looking forward to reading more from Nichole Chase.▸ ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review.▸ Order: Kindle | Paperback | Kobo | iBooks | Nook | Audible▸ For more reviews, visit

American Royals - Wer wir auch sindvon Nichole ChaseLYXCover:Wirkt edelRezension:„Sie entstammen den beiden mächtigsten Familien der Welt. Sie haben nur sich. Und doch können sie nicht zusammen sein. Jeder macht Fehler. Doch Maddie McGuires Fehler lösen meist mittelschwere Staatsaffären aus. Als sie für eine Nacht im Gefängnis landet, ist das Maß bei ihrem Vater - dem Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika - voll. Zur Strafe soll sie Sozialstunden ableisten - außgerechnet bei Jake Simmon, dem missmutigen (und unglaublich gut aussehenden) Sohn des Vizepresidenten. Der ist von der Idee ganz und gar nicht begeistert. Er und Maddie waren schon immer wie Feuer und Wasser, absolut nicht kompatibel. Und doch kann Jake den schmalen Grat zwischen Liebe und Hass nicht leugnen, der seit jeher zwischen ihnen bestand ...“Dies ist das erste auf Deutsch übersetzte Buch der Autorin Nichole Chase. Die beiden Protagonisten erzählen im Buch abwechselnd in den einzelnen Kapiteln und wachsen dem Leser somit schnell ans Herz. Es war eine süße politische Liebesgeschichte, die mich überrascht hat. Die unbändige Tochter des US-Präsidenten und der sexy selbstbewusste Sohn des Vizepräsidenten. Endlich mal ein Bad Girl, anstelle des ewigen Bad Boys. Ich genoss dieses Buch wirklich, da es mehr von einem emotionalen Unterton von Liebe, Freundschaft, Neubeginn und Heilung brauchte. Die Verbindung zwischen Maddie und Jake war frisch und süß mitzuerleben, als diese beiden ehemaligen Freunde begannen, sich in einem ganz neuen Licht und einer anderen Perspektive zu sehen. Wenn Du also nach einer Romanze suchst, die Politik, Familie und neue Anfänge behandelt, dann könnte dieses Buch etwas für dich sein. Es passiert viel in diesem Buch und ich möchte niemanden spoilern, also werde ich einfach sagen, dass du während des gesamten Buches eine Achterbahn voller Emotionen durchmachen wirst. Insgesamt war dies eine tolle und schnelle Lektüre. Ich freue mich sehr auf das nächste Buch der Serie. 4/5 SterneMein Dank gilt dem LYX Verlag und Netgalley für das zur Verfügung gestellte Exemplar.

But there's always light at the end of a dark tunnel. . .Bedmates is an undeniable MUST READ! 5 Powerful Stars!*ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.* ~Kelly

4/5 ⭐️ Es war mein erstes Buch von der Autorin und es hat mir gut gefallen. Ihr Schreibstil ist sehr angenehm, locker und ohne viel Tamtam. Das Buch ist perfekt für zwischendurch und eine leichte Lektüre. Es behandelt auch einige ernste Themen, die allerdings nicht komplett vertieft werden. Die Charaktere sind sehr unterschiedlich und gut ausgearbeitet, aber komplett überzeugen konnten mich beide Protagonisten nicht. Obwohl es in dem Buch um Politik ging, stand diese nicht im Vordergrund, d.h. auch jene, die sich nicht für Politik interessieren, werden das Buch mögen. Es war wirklich nichts besonderes, aber definitiv unterhaltsam. Leider hat mich das Ende aber extrem gestört. Es war ein pures Klischee und zu viel unnötiges Drama. Das hat mir leider nicht gefallen, weshalb das Buch gerade so 4/5 Sterne von mir bekommt. Insgesamt kann ich das Buch aber jedem empfehlen. ☺️

“You’re a bright star in a sea of black.”OMG!!!! Just finished this baby in the blink of an eye. This book is not what I expected at all. It is SO SO MUCH MORE!!!! When I read the blurb, I had it in my mind that the story is like the Chasing Liberty movie starring Mandy Moore…. I know, I know… I am crazy! But anyway, the heroine and hero in this book are so much more mature and complex and the story is absolutely thoughtful and heartfelt.Maddie is the daughter of the President so it is hard to do anything without the scrutiny of reporters. Maddie is beautiful, smart and passionate about animals and she will do whatever it takes to fight for their rights, including breaking and entering once in a while. Jake is a vice-president’s son. He is also a soldier returning from Afghanistan and broken in more ways than one. Jake lost his legs but survived while the rest of his teammates (except for one), lost their lives. Whatever actually happened over in Afghanistan is eating at him and Jake can’t shake the guilt. Maddie and Jake have known each other for a long time but their relationship has not been rosy. In fact, they can’t stand each other, or are they? Jake thinks Maddie is sexy, infuriating and so off limits. Maddie secretly has a crush on Jake – he is hot but obnoxious. So when the vice-president asks her son Jake to head a volunteer effort to build houses for other veterans, Maddie was assigned to join him in an effort to clean up her image. The two are forced to work together and coexist. The relationship between Maddie and Jake was absolutely adorable. I really enjoyed the witty banters, the angst and the sweetness of their slow building relationship. The chemistry is undeniable. There were plenty of scorching hot scenes as well as the push and pull chase… sexy! LOVED IT!“Most people don’t realize that the real damage is inside, where no one can see it. It’s not physical.”What I like about this book is there is a deeper storyline than just a romance between the president’s daughter and a wounded soldier. When Jake received devastating news about the only friend left from Jake’s unit, Jake spiraled out of control. He is hurting and is not capable of dealing with his own demons. Jake is proud and stubborn though he does not accept help from anyone so he hurt Maddie deeply by pushing her away. This part of the story was quite emotional. It touches on the issue of PTSD, something that a lot of our soldiers deal with on a daily basis – unfortunately there is very little help and support for mental health care in this country. Bedmates was a fantastic read – emotional, heartwarming, sweet. I laughed out loud, I cried and I swooned. The hero is proud, strong but also loving, caring and sweet. I adore the heroine - beautiful inside and out, not the typical spoiled, privileged girl. I came to the conclusion that this story is not AT ALL Chasing Liberty LOL - Bedmates is full of heart, fun, warming, sexy, and unique. Highly recommended! 4.5 Stars!!!ARC was provided by the author and publisher in exchange for an honest review!Reviewer for AC Book Blog @ http://acbookblog.com
