You'll love every letter of it."" -- Eagle Times ""By tradition, presidents are expected to have fewer amorous distractions than the rest of us. But this high-spirited and richly sourced chronicle of White House heat--erudite yet irresistibly readable--peels back the curtains of the Residence, while ripping open surprisingly adult items in the Oval Office outbox, to reveal that the grand and glorious People's House where Lincoln walks at night has always been and still remains home to people no less real, adoring, infatuated, or just plain whipped after a day at the office, than you or I."" -- David Michaelis, New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor ""Like looking through a peephole into the Oval Office! A delightful book for a quick glimpse into a secret history."" --Tara Deal, novelist and poet ""You will blush, you will laugh, and you will swoon knowing that love and passion existed amongst the history makers of this country."" -- Lydia Kang, author of A Beautiful Poison ""A riveting and revealing behind-the-scenes glimpse into the love lives and marital relationships of the nation's presidents.
