At just over 300 pages, this book reads like a Novella. Fast paced, smooth read with attention to detail and an engaging storyline.Jesse Cameron has decided to run for governor of California, with the support of his loving wife Simone.  His uncle calls on the expertise of his own former campaign manager, Anthony Hunter. Let's take a step back here and address the fact that the Cameron family is a "Hot Mess!" Jesse's uncle is a manipulative SOB; his father was an award winning actor as is his wife Simone; his wife harbours a secret that Jesse is aware of and assists her in keeping secret; his brother is in an abusive relationship and Jesse himself is a closeted gay man. Enter Anthony who is not necessarily in the closet but doesn't wave his rainbow flag either and we now have another element of secrecy in this story.The attraction between Jesse and Anthony is immediate and electric and the two begin a secret love affair in random hotel rooms across the US along the campaign trail. But secrets like this can't stay buried for long. Would Jesse's supporters still support an out gay man?There is so much going on in the pages of this book, and yet the flow remains constant and steady.  There isn't any one issue that is over stressed or under worked, Witt's attention to detail for each character and each part of the story is easily conveyed. Even as Simone goes from supportive to vendictive and then comes back around, you can't be upset with her, it just makes her come across as a flawed human being.Warning, this is a M/M erotic novel with some Oh.My.God (!!) sexy, steamy love scenes! My Kindle screen would get steamed up everytime Anthony and Jesse got some one on one time!I give this one 5/5. Engrossing and sexy, you won't be able to stop once you've started until you reach the end.  But that's just my two cents.
