I really don't know how to review this book. From the synopsis of the book, it was one that I was going to love. How can you not love a senator who is clean and a underworld mob boss who happens to be female? A role reversal that I was looking forward to. And all my hopes were completely dashed.First I was distracted by a personal pet peeve, and that is when authors take the slang of their region and insert it into character dialogue when it is so obviously not authentic. You would never believe a US Senator and mob boss from Boston would use words like "arse, mum" etc. it is terribly distracting and takes away from the authenticity of the characters. I can't stand it.On the story itself, there was little to no character development. We were thrown into the middle of an every day scene and expected to keep up. And the unrealistic behavior of the characters left me shaking my head. I'm trying not to give spoilers away, and that leaves me with few words. The story did not live up to the synopsis at all and that was severely disappointing.
