When "Love and Politics" was recommended to me by a friend I immediately purchased it as I'm a big fan of romance novels that explore social class and political distinctions in an engaging way. In this novel Violet Williams weaves a story about a young single mother who is working tirelessly to support her child when a Senator by the name of Jake Cunningham breezes into her life and sweeps her off her feet. Of course it not all sunshine and roses as the two navigate past hurts and current issues that keep both of them from fully delving into the romance and trusting the other to be what they need. This is an emotionally charged drama that really has an authentic story at heart, delving into the real drama of two people who need to move on from the past and step into the promising future ahead of them... one that could be a forever kind of love.The well-written novel deals with everything from the issues with navigating an interracial romance to healing from past relationships that have left both Keisha and Jake wary of falling in love again. Ms. Williams sucks the reader in with vivid imagery, strong dialogue, authentic characters and an engrossing plot that keeps you eagerly reading from start to finish. Overall, this was well worth the read and is a novel I would recommend to readers looking for an engaging, well-written and beautifully emotional love story.
