About this audiobook
I kneel for only one man—Carter Wilson, my best friend, chief of staff, and bastard extraordinaire.
It's a price I willingly pay to be owned by Her.
His wife.
Who is also, as of when we were sworn in this morning, my lieutenant governor.
I am Owen Taylor, governor of the great state of Florida.
Book 1 of the Governor Trilogy, and the book that kicks off the entire "world" that this and other trilogies are set in. This MMF contemporary political romance features friends to lovers, GFY, a secret workplace romance with high political stakes, power exchange, wounded heroes, a cinnamon roll hero, an Alpha hero who will kill to protect his loved ones, and a guaranteed HEA.
Editor's Note
Polyamorous BDSM...
Compellingly written (and shockingly explicit), “Governor” is the first book in Richardson’s BDSM polyamorous trilogy. Richardson herself practices BDSM, and her knowledge shines through every page.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a fun, engaging, and poignant tale. The character development and flow of the story are well-written and riveting. The spicy scenes are satisfying, and the emotions portrayed in the book are real and relatable. The narration by Liam Lambert is excellent. Some readers were hooked and couldn't put it down, while others found it to be beyond sexy and gritty. Overall, this book is highly recommended and a new favorite for many readers.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was a hard listen for me, as I can't imagine anyone ruling my life completely nor ever being anyone's slave. My favorite character is Susa. She is intelligent, mature past her young years, and like me she is a Switch. But mine is just play and is sexual only. No one will run my entire life. Carter really is a manipulate bastard and Owen is just too friggin f'd up and weak.
What Carter does in order to get Owen sexual goes above and beyond being a bastard extrordinare. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved this book.The Characters,the story just Awesome really.I look forward to the rest of this series ? ? ? ?? ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Ohh my gosh, not my normal style... but I was hooked ... eeeeek!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So much to unpack about how I feel about this book. Well written and perfectly narrated. The mind fuck in chapter 34 threw me for a loop… but by the end, I had happy tears in my eyes. Knowing what I know now from the ending, I really want to reread it with this new perspective.
Such a beautiful insight into the emotional dynamic of D/s lifestyle. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of sex but I would honestly say the emotions completely overrode that in a surprisingly perfect way. It also showed poly in a way I had not previously seen exemplified.
Identifying with Owen myself, the mind fuck from chapter 34 gutted me. It almost made it hard to continue reading. Almost. If you feel the same, don’t give up. Finish it. It will all make sense in the end.
Some will look at this and only see emotional manipulation, but there is so much more depth and complexity to it. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this series. It makes politics look fun. The characters are well developed and find their voices in the other parts of this 5 part trilogy ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very well written. I LOVE that the books are so long. Gives enough time to really develop the story and characters without needing to rush. Spicy scenes don't disappoint

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh my…..what did I just read….I swear…this book is beyond sexy. Beyond gritty. Beyond heartbreaking and inspiring. It’s so loving and selfish brushed and beaten against gracious and giving. Battlefields of awkward moments at war with need and temptation. Definitely a must have and must read

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5DNF this ends in a cliffhanger, for an eleven plus hour audiobook to need 3 books that’s strike 1, each book is told from a different MC’s POV, the most likable character is lied to and left out of a major decision that was unforgivable, disrespectful betrayal- strike 2, then I went through reviews hoping book 2 or 3 would bring some redemption, but sadly strike 3. Clearly a lot of people love this series but being emotionally manipulated isn’t my thing.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow. I mean, WOW. I loved this book. I learned a lot. As a former (state) senate staffer, I approve of all the insider shizz Richardson writes. What a fun, engaging, poignant tale. And HOT as all get out. I loved the MM aspect of this MMF. Very satisfying ending.
