Why did I love this book so much? Confident writing style, interesting characters, but most importantly this book mirrored a lot of what I think about politicians of all kinds and at the same time without going overboard showed me pretty convincingly that people can change, that there is good even in the worst cynical people and appealed to my deeply hidden tiny hope that maybe the politicians who still care about their constituents' needs are still in existance. I really loved how we see the change in the main character from somebody who would say anything and do anything to get noticed more on the political landscape to somebody who learned to care. I especially loved that his change does not mean that he becomes a fluffy bunny so to speak at the end of the book and abandons his political ambitions. It is possible to want to try to go for what you want and still have clean hands while you are doing it, right? Or maybe I just want to believe in it.Romance was *wonderful* - very few sex scenes, but strong, powerful chemistry between two leads and I have no doubt that these two want each other and need each other in their lives.Even annoying ex did not bother me as much as this character stereotype normally would have, simply because we had another wonderful, strong woman character. As long as we have other female characters in the book who are actually interesting and multidimensional, I guess I can kind of tolerate annoying exes.Although must they not have *one* single human redeeming quality in them?4.75 stars
