The author (wrongly) states in the book that you have to be 40 to be president (please use google) and that was just the most inane of my problems with this book. I try not to give highly negative reviews lightly, but this one had so many glaring issues that I almost DNF. I finished mainly because I had to know if she was going to tie up the crazy plot. Spoiler: she doesn't.
TL;DR: don't waste your time with this book, if you enjoy books about military alphas with subplots of political intrigue, please go read Julie Ann Walker.
At this point I have read a lot of romance novels and this one represents pretty much every negative stereotype about the genre.
A few things that upset/annoyed me about this book.
1. The aforementioned lack of tying up the plot. There were so many characters and threads that were seemingly introduced haphazard and then never talked about again or picked up at the end with a deus ex machina type explanation it was infuriating. I.e: Frankie, a strong independent woman who has taken her brother's death to heart is doing life-changing research about how he died, it's never mentioned again that she's even in school until the very and and it's just a "oh, I'm a mother, student, blah blah blah". Also, Frankie's attack is barely mentioned again, it's here mainly as a plot device.
2. Jaxson is not an alpha, he's a border-line abusive asshole. Yes he had a rough life, etc. But his behavior shouldn't be romanticized in any, way shape or form. Yes, I have read books about alphas, this is the first one where I doubted the mental health of the writer. Go read Julie Ann Walker if you want to see this done well.
3. The sex scenes were written like how-to manuals. Again, I've read a lot of romance novels, if I hadn't read the author's bio, I would have thought this was written by a man due to some fundamentally anatomically difficult things that happen in this book.
All in all, don't bother. The plot barely makes sense, fundamentally misunderstands how our political system works (even with the pretend conspiracies that supposedly exist), and is full of barely redeemable flat characters.
