In Service to the Senator Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 39 ratings

Sometimes, politics make the strangest of bedfellows…and enemies.

Terrell Warren is a rising star within the ranks of the Democratic Party. Buoyed his former heroic exploits in Desert Storm, the two-term senator has ascended quickly, currently being vetted as a part of the party’s presidential ticket in the upcoming election cycle, entering rarified air as an African-American politician. He’s charismatic, devilishly handsome, and possesses both the pedigree and the type of bipartisan support that could have him sitting in the Oval Office as Commander-in-Chief in the near future.

Even his unconventional marriage to the stunning Kianna Warren doesn’t seem to sway the public, as rumors from media circuits continue to swirl around their alternative proclivities. After all, who wouldn’t want to surrender and be in service to the powerful, irresistible statesman? He has managed to claim the American public’s imagination, providing the catalyst as the face of the wave of the future of the party.

Unfortunately, there are forces at work that wish to derail the inevitable, and they will stop at nothing to ensure that Senator Warren is discredited.

Kianna’s unexpected abduction takes him off the campaign trail, as the mysterious organization taking credit for her abduction has made one rather extraordinary demand—one that threatens to revert American foreign policy back to the previous century’s “Cold War” history. The ultimatum is clear—either comply with the demands, or his wife will be killed.

In Service to the Senator is the latest explosive tale from best-selling author Shakir Rashaan, where a race against the clock might mean the difference between life and death.

“Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works.” ~ Virginia Wolfe

Conjurer of worlds. Sorcerer. Man. Myth. Legend. Prototype.

All of these words describe Shakir Rashaan, who has been creating mind-twisting stories and lavish worlds for well over a decade, rolling onto the national literary scene as a contributor to Z-Rated: Chocolate Flava 3 in 2012. His raw, vivid, and uncut writing style captured the attention of the Queen of Erotica herself, Zane. A year later, Shakir’s debut novel with Strebor/Atria/Simon & Schuster, The Awakening, opened to rave reviews, while the follow-up in the Nubian Underworld series, Legacy, garnered even more success, and the third installment, Tempest, helping to make the series one of the most unique and best-selling in the erotic romance genre.

Rashaan would later add to his impressive catalog with the debut of the Kink, P.I. Series in 2015, starting with Obsession and following up with Deception and Reckoning. Drawing comparisons to Walter Mosely’s Easy Rawlins series, Kink, P.I. has developed into yet another best-selling series, carving its place as a “throwback to the days of classic mystery books” in the mystery genre.

Further adding to his impressive portfolio, Rashaan was a regular blogger for USA Today’s Happy Ever After blog, where readers could find him at his “Manly Musings” personal blog, reviewing books, television shows, and movies from a man’s perspective. He wrote recaps for various shows for the STARZ Network, including The Girlfriend Experience, POWER, and Survivor’s Remorse, before the blog was retired in late 2018.

Shakir has gone on in recent years to pen a series of bestselling novels, including In Service to the Senator, a sexy political thriller surrounding an up-and-coming vice presidential candidate, The Devil’s All-American, a unique paranormal romance featuring a rising college basketball star, Unthinkable, a not-so-conventional romance set in the entertainment industry, Love, Lust & Beautiful Liars, a romantic suspense novel about an international weapons dealer who was looking to retire and enjoy his HEA, and most recently in 2021, Queen of Cambridge, part of the Queens of the Castle anthology series.

Shakir has switched gears, jumping into the yourn adult world, developing the Neverwraith series, a YA paranormal fantasy for Entangled Teen/Macmillan, and the South Hampton series, in addition to several other YA and New Adult projects to expand his NEBU universe. Neverwraith is his most ambitious project to date, about a teenage descendant of an ancient metahuman bloodline who search for the truth about the death of his parents and their connection to a centuries-old blood feud over sacred texts contained inside of his native Kindara, an island nation located near the West African coast ... all while navigating high school

Shakir currently resides in suburban Atlanta with his wife, soon-to-be college graduate daughter, and a Jack-Chi named Teddy. You can find out more at www.ShakirRashaan.com.

    This book was a well-written political suspense, and was a page turner from start to finish. Set in D.C.during a presidential election, it deals not only with the kidnapping of Senator Terrell Warren's wife, but also with the extensive measures taken to find and rescue her. Because of his military and street background, nothing is off limits to Terrell; not using political allies, enemies, police, street buddies, or media. In weaving this suspenseful story, author Shakir Rashaan takes readers behind the scenes in Washington politics, into the minds of hostage and captors, and even into the world of BDSM. This was a thrilling read and at the conclusion, I wanted more of Terrell Warren. I certainly hope author Rashaan plans to write a sequel, because although this was the first book by him that I've read, it won't be my last.

    This is my first time reading works by this author who eloquently sets the foundation for an absorbing introduction to electrifying, multifaceted, and resilient characters, great dialogue, and descriptive surroundings, zigzagging into a web of political duplicity, manipulation, lust, sexual tension, betrayal, lies, secrets, scandal, retribution, and abduction. The page-turning narrative keeps you guessing, where nothing is what it seems, with some shocking turns that build up to a jaw-dropping ending, leaving you questioning the extent people with wealth, power, and influence will go to get what they want, no matter the consequences.

    Reading a story in which AA characters are centered and sensual is so refreshing. Shakir always brings the sexy and cerebral. The author embodies both, and it plays out in his stories.

    In Service To The Senator combines several hot button topics: drama, suspense, sex, politics, blackmail, and revenge. As I read this book, I started wondering what’s really going on behind the closed doors in government, (especially now) and how those deals are truly made. Author Rashaan has masterfully penned a fictional and suspenseful delight, with a spicy glimpse into the BDSM lifestyle of his previous books. I thought I had it all figured out, and he threw a serious curve at me; had me looking at a lot of "situations" in our government with a serious side eye, giving a whole 'nother meaning to the word, service, if you catch my drift. I fought myself between reading fast to see what happened next, and reading slow so the book wouldn’t end. I would definitely recommend this book to those who like sex, drama, suspense, and all the bedfellows that go hand in hand with them. Run get your copy, and you’ll see what I’m talking about! Kudos Mr. Rashaan, you've done it again!

    This book is amazing!! This is my introduction to Shakir Rashaan and I must say that I am now a fan. In Service To The Senator is a book that will have you turning page after page while playing detective trying to figure out what is going on. I hope that this is the beginning of a series about the Senator and everyone involved in his world.

    This was an interesting storyline, and something that captured my attention from a list political reads featured. It was definitely a page- turner, since I was anxious to see what would happen next. Perfect for the election season, but I felt like this was just an introduction to Senator Terrell Warren, and I didn't get to know him that well. A follow-up with more details into his background and what makes him tick would have been great.
