Stephanie Queen is an outstanding writer.  Between a Rock and a Mad Woman drew me through the story while I was trying to decide if this was the next book I wanted to read.  I read it as part of the Malice, Mischief & Men collection.  The characters are strong, witty and well developed.  Both were raise to be politicians, the serve, but they have diametrically opposite philosophies of politics.  Maddy is an idealist who believes that she can make great changes in the government and that the people will support her.  Peter believes that you  have to work within the system and give a little to get anything.  The one thing they do agree on is that they love each other, but they know that it would destroy their chances at governor if people discovered that they had a strong connection while running for the same position.  I was expecting this book to be primarily romantic suspense since I got it in a romantic suspense collection but the issue of skullduggery is pretty much background to their relationship and the campaigns.
