He'd give his life to protect the president's son. But he never expected to risk his heart.Growing up gay in the White House hasn't been easy for Rafael Castillo. Codenamed "Valor" by the Secret Service, Rafa feels anything but brave as he hides in the closet and tries to stay below the radar in his last year of college. His father's presidency is almost over, and he just needs to stick to his carefully crafted plan. Once his family's out of the spotlight, he can be honest with his conservative parents about his sexuality and his dream of being a chef.It's definitely not part of Rafa's plan to get a new Secret Service agent who's a walking wet dream, but he's made it this long keeping his desires to himself. Besides, it's not like Shane Kendrick would even look at him twice if it wasn't his job.Shane's worked his way up through the Secret Service ranks, and while protecting the president's shy, boring son isn't his dream White House assignment, it's an easy enough task since no one pays Rafa much attention. He discovers there's a vibrant young man beneath the timid public shell, and while he knows Rafa has a crush on him, he assures himself it's harmless. Shane's never had room for romance in his life, and he'd certainly never cross that line with a protectee. Keeping Rafa safe at any cost is Shane's mission.But as Rafa gets under his skin, will they both put their hearts on the line?

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Action-Packed, Well Written and Moving By Alan Arthur Katz Keira Andrews is a new author for me, and after reading "Valor on the Move", I don't know how I missed her. She is a strikingly talented writer. Despite the over-the-top concept, the book doesn't have a single misstep, not in plot, description, characters, dialogue or theme. Her writing is eloquent and elegant. This is one of those rare books I just couldn't put down. I read it in a single sitting."Valor" is a story of two men, Rafa (short for Rafael), the young adult son of the President of the United States, and Shane, a Secret Service agent attached to "Valor's" protection detail. There is nothing about the two men that would justify a romantic interest between them. Rafa is an understated student at UVA, dedicated to being invisible to protect his father's career and fulfill his position as the "other one", not the daughter who is always in the tabloids, the brother who's about to become a political power in his own right (the "perfect" son) or the slightly older brother who is a world-class swimmer. He's just a bland kid at college with a big secret: his girlfriend is not his girlfriend, she's his beard. And he's hers. Best friends, they are both gay, both living in fear of their parents' disapproval, and both determined to execute their own plan for freedom and honesty, as soon as Rafa finishes school and his parents leave the White House.Shane, on the other hand, is a professional field agent with the Secret Service who worked his way up through a whole series of out-of-the-way postings until he finally reached one of the plum jobs - a protective detail in the White House. He's big, muscular, gorgeous and almost twice Rafa's age, about to turn forty. He loves his job but carries some serious baggage. His beloved parents passed away six years ago in an electrical house fire. He blames himself for their deaths, as he was supposed to be with them, at home, the weekend they died, but was called in by the agency and was unable to make the trip. Something died inside him when his parents passed away. He's consumed with guilt for not being there and not saving them. He stopped living life, and just inhabited it, without passion or commitment. He's also an out gay man and could be the poster boy for Secret Service recruitment, he's so muscular, masculine and yet looks elegant as hell in a well-tailored suit. But his love life? Occasional one-night-stands and rare encounters with a sex buddy he's had for years.But these two men, so different, so weighted with angst and drama, fall in love at first kiss. It's a kiss that cannot happen. It's an unthinkable conflict for an agent to get emotionally involved with a protectee. Yet there it is, all the same, no matter how much both men decide it can't happen, it does.Rafa is going through a particularly hard time. His father is a right-wing Republican who has toed the conservative line and promoted every anti-gay bill that comes up for a vote. There was one moment, in particular, that devastated Rafa. He was required, without warning, to attend an event where he would stand on the stage, in the harsh glare of the TV lights, waving and smiling, supporting his father, not knowing he would be announcing his support for an anti-gay Constitutional Amendment to banish all same-sex marriage nationwide. He was devastated. And later, when he found out that this parents, the ones committed to denying basic civil rights to gays, knew he was gay (or at least suspected) since he was very young, making him stand up on a stage, smiling like a moron as his own father demanded that Rafa's human rights and equality be revoked. His own parents!Rafa goes insane. Sick of being a prisoner of the White House, and furious at the betrayal of his own parents, he runs. Shane chases after him in an agency SUV, follows him into another state and confronts him, to convince him to return to the White House when he stops at a deserted highway rest stop. The unthinkable happens and Rafa is taken when Shane is downed by a bullet that grazes his head. Shane must find him, rescue him and make sure no one ever hurts his Rafa again.I'll leave the rest of the action-adventure story for you to discover in Ms. Andrews' propulsive prose. Rest assured, it's a page-turner, and although you're always pretty sure that Rafa will be rescued, there's no similar confidence that the two men will ever have the opportunity to be together, or to share their love and lives, and that is, perhaps, the most engrossing and engaging part of "Valor on the Move".Though the premise, at first, may strike you as being a bit over-the-top, rest assured that Ms. Andrews' writing makes it all feel all too believable. Her characters are deeply and beautifully drawn, even the bad guys, and Rafa's heartless mother, the First Lady. We eventually find out why she is so uptight, and how much and deeply she really does love her son. These characters are deep, vivid and believable. The dialogue and badinage are always real, as is the glacially slow and uncaring bureaucracy that is any Federal agency. The action is brief, but heart-stopping, and the love between the men, heart-warming and moving.If you like a love story with a little action-adventure, and characters who are bigger than life, you'll love "Valor on the Move". I know I did, which is why I recommend it with all my heart. Don't miss this one.Alan reviews LGBT fiction at the Sinfully Addicted... blog.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Stayed up late finishing this one! By Sinfully I stayed up late finishing this one. A forbidden flirtation and serious sexual tension between the quiet, closeted, twenty one year old son of the sitting U.S. President and a mild mannered Secret Service Agent who is pushing forty and turns out to be a total badass? I just had to see how it all worked out!It’s just Rafa’s luck that the new agent assigned to his Secret Service detail happens to be his wet dream come true. All Rafa is trying to do is keep flying under the radar and ride out the last seven months of his father’s term then freedom is his. The politics of his father’s two terms in office and his mother’s attempts to orchestrate his future and crush his true desire to be a chef have beaten him down. He plays nice for the camera but he is hurting inside and acting as if everything is fine. He can only be himself when he’s talking to his best friend and even that has to be coded as nothing is really private in is life.Shane has had his share of boring details and guarding the quiet child of the President is expected to be just another one in his quest to one day be assigned to the President’s protection detail. His job is not conducive to a relationship and that’s fine with Shane. Turns out that Shane’s preconceptions of Rafa were way off the mark. What he finds is a sexy, compassionate, smart, but lonely young man who he is drawn to like nobody before, and Shane is soon fighting a losing battle to keep things strictly professional.Despite an age difference of almost twenty years the two have a lot in common and their chemistry is amazing. Rafa’s insecurity sometimes made it feel like he was younger than 21, but he also been very sheltered. There is a nice build to the romance as Rafa practices cooking with Shane is his taster and the two get to know each other better each quietly crushing on and fantasizing about the other. Rafa would love to get closer to Shane and a stolen kiss rattles both men, but he doesn’t want to put Shane’s job in jeopardy or out himself. Shane recognizes his feelings are inappropriate and does try to pull away, but the moment he senses that Rafa is in any distress, he can’t help but blur the lines again.The story really kicks into high gear with a life or death situation that tests Shane’s professionalism and his feelings for Rafa. The action scenes were gripping and the outcome of the situation unexpected. As for the sex, Rafa is a virgin, but he knows what he wants and is not afraid to verbalize it. Shane is no slouch in the dirty talk category either and they definitely steamed up my Kindle screen!In addition to the budding romance between Rafa and Shane there are a few other storylines playing out that impact the relationship. I’m not going to give any of it away, but when Rafa’s whole family comes together for his father’s birthday, Rafa reaches a breaking point and the book didn’t let up from then on.I really liked the way everything played out and appreciated that things didn’t just quickly and magically fall into place. While the story has a wonderful, happy ending, there is so much ahead for the new couple, I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to one-click a sequel to see where Rafa and Shane go from that point on.Reviewed by Debra for Sinfully...Addicted To All Male Romance
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. :( it ended :( By johanna Valor is code for Rafa Castillo, the POTUS' son. His family is Republican and they are Hispanic. Quite an intriguing thought for a high ranking official in the White House, right? Well, Keira Andrews played with the idea and came up with a fantabulous story.Rafa is gay, closeted and in hiding. Every decision he makes is based on a best foot forward. He is just waiting and biding his time for when his father's second term as president is finally done. Then, maybe? Just maybe, he can finally go leave, get to be the chef he'd always dreamt of becoming and have the family he'd always craved for. With a loving man by his side. In the meanwhile, he is lying low and out of sight. That is, until he looks up and sees his new bodyguard. Oh boy.Shane is a Secret Service agent. He worked hard to get to his position and makes sure he puts the right foot forward at all times to guarantee his career is stable. In this day and age of stupidly idiotic economic storms, he needs a stable job. He is not willing to endanger it for any thing or any one. That is, until he gets to know the young man he is babysitting for the remainder of the current president's second term is over. No!Well, of course I loved this story! For one thing, its action packed and there is mystery that endangers both MCs lives. And then there is the fact this is an May December romance. Yes! Erotic older lover! And so hunky, strong and romantic too. Ms Keira really nailed it on the head with this latest release.You like Keira Andrews? You like erotic older lovers? This is the book for you. Oh, on a side note, this was a really fast read.Note: The only thing I am disappointed with is this: It. Ended.Darned it!
