Inequitable Trilogy #2
Innocent
Fear shouldn't feel this good.
Jordan Walsh never imagined he'd find himself in a strange, secret, sexy tug-of-war between Vice President Elliot Woodley and Leo Cruz, President Samuels' body man. Every ounce of common sense in Jordan's head tells him to run—not walk—fast and far from both men. The problem is, they've tangled Jordan so deeply in their web he's not sure he wants to leave.
Unfortunately, there are those who'd stoop to anything to twist Elliot to their will.
And the last thing standing between Elliot and complete destruction…is Jordan.
(Inequitable Trilogy Book 2. MMM, power exchange dynamics, political romance saga, secret workplace romance, close proximity, frenemies to lovers, May/Dec, Secret Service agent, wounded veteran, smol and tall, pining, HEA)
(A stand-alone trilogy set in the world of the Governor Trilogy.)

I love Jordan. He is definitely the innocent collateral damage in this three way. He did go in with his eyes wide open so it isn't like he was tricked into the relationship. Still, I think both Jordan and Leo (and me) thought Elliot would take his head out of his ass and move forward a little. Honestly, how am I supposed to believe Elliot is a great VP or even going to be president when he is such a train wreck? I see little in how Elliot can command from the first book and as we delve into this second book. Leo on the other hand can totally take charge. Jordan seems to be extremely competent too. Elliot must give the best blowjobs in the world for Leo to want to stay with him and Jordan to want to give Elliot another chance.

Jordan Walsh never imagined he’d find himself in a strange, secret, sexy tug-of-war between Vice President Elliot Woodley and Leo Cruz, President Samuels' body man.
I just can't get enough of Lesli Richardson's world. Her world of politics, politics, mayhem and secrets.
The second part of this trilogy is Jordan's story and takes place six months following his departure from DC and his men. It is a highly intensive two years and I can say I was intrigued, on the edge of my seat and filled with wonder. This ten-plus Amazon-hour book was destined to hit my top ten. I'm thinking I won't have to worry about top three cus this series is going to take that place.
I will not spoil it by giving a run by run. What I will say is invest in the hype. Invest in this book. My small collection of LGBTQ books are going to get a little bigger because I NEED these hard copies.
Great job Ms Richardson. I have barely slept for this book.

This is Jordan's story, and a tear-jerker if ever there was one!
Jordan has lived with his grandmother since he was 12, because his parents are Evangelicals and totally opposed to anything gay (which Jordan is beginning to recognise in himself).
Skip to age 22 when he's brought in to design the interior of the VP's house for Elliot Woodley, and where he meets, and falls in love with Leo Cruz, Shae Lynn's body man.
For 6 years, he and Leo have a fairly secret affair, but Jordan picks up on little things and works out that Leo is (or has been) involved with Elliot. With a bit of heart-searching, Jordan breaks with them both and returns to college to complete a Masters in Design....
Then: CHAPTER 15!!! Totally unexpected: Elliot visits Jordan and demands he return to Washington for Leo's sake (who's missing him dreadfully of course); and Elliot takes control of the whole situation between the three of them; and Jordan gives control over to Elliot; and Leo appears to be on the outside of their relationship; and it's all really rather fucked up :) :) :)
Buuuut....Jordan has grown and is really rather ruthless and clever and insistent about a few things...and all to come **sigh**

O this world is amazing. I love the poly triad. It started with loving Governor and then all the other trilogy kept me in this world.
This book is about Jordan, who had a relationship with Leo but walked away and now he returns without Leo knowing.
Step into this world and i hope you will love it as much as i do.

I really like Jordan! This book was written from his point of view and he is nothing like what I thought. He has an iron will and lets people see him they want to. His strength and determination is hidden under the appearance of innocence. I really enjoyed getting to know the realJordan.

I would love to know the release date for this book. I’ve checked Tymber’s site, and there’s nothing more definitive than ‘coming soon.’ Can someone help a girl out??

Drama at the Highest
Dang..dang...double dang, it's hard to describe a book that pulls you in and never let's you go. A book that has you so hungover you need to read it over and over again.
This book is like a drug and you want to get another fix so you read the exciting parts again. This story is just so amazing you cannot help but fall in love with it.
This story gives you more details about the past and present and you get to see things from another characters perspective. You feel what they feel. There are parts in this story that will make you gasp and then you even cry a little bit. Very, very strong characters.
There better be wedding bells in the next book or I won't be responsible for my actions.
Until Next Time... Tabi

Richardson takes us on another wild ride with the middle book of this political romance trilogy. Jordan is another cinnamon roll hero with a heart of steel to put up with everything Leo (the stalker) and Elliot (the unintentional emotional manipulator) put him through. However, he does his best to do right by both men, and I was along for the ride even when I knew he could do so much better than both of them.
I'm already counting down the days until the final book in this trilogy is released.

Love it. By far, my favourite character by Richardson, followed closely by Declan. I have a soft spot for switchy, brilliant men.
