Holy political fiction sexiness!!! Bec, you have done it a-freakin'-gain! But dammit with the cliffhanger!!! I'm taking you on your word that the follow up book won't be too much longer for release! 4.5 red white and sensual stars!I haven't read too many books that have political fiction as a theme, but the few I have read, I know that (as an avid reader), they need to be good to grab my attention. I had no doubt, having read a lot of Becs books before, that it would be. I fell for the characters immediately, and even though it's a shorter read and it's fast paced, I wanted MORE immediately. I love how at the beginning of the book, Marcus--the alpha male "speaker of the house" was all dominant, short spoken, and somewhat rigid, and by the end, he was almost desperately vulnerable. Some people don't like the insta-love aspect in books, but seeing as how I read for pleasure and to escape from everyday life, if the book is written well, it doesn't bother me a bit. If I wanted real life books, I'd write my own or be an autobiographical junkie.I loved the two main characters connection, and you could literally feel the steam rising off the kindle...and to have that all wrapped up in a political story, was awesome.My only two areas of warning are: yes, there is a cliffhanger, but you're assured by the author, there will be resolution and a HEA in the 2nd book (which shouldn't too much longer until released); and yes, there is cheating. That is a hard limit for some avid readers, and while in real life, I don't condone it, and in book life, it causes me angst induced heartburn, the cheating in this book wasn't without "reason". When you read the book, you'll see what I'm saying. I actually encouraged the cheating because of the back-story of the characters involved. Now, if this was real life, I'd be handing out some judgements. With that said, I've read PLENTY of other books where GOOD people in NORMAL circumstances were cheated on, and it all but made me need nerve pills!Bottom line, this book is up your alley if you like erotic novels with a storyline that isn't being played out right now. More than that, I've found that you can't really go wrong with a Bec Botefuhr read...she roped me in with several of her series books, and I have yet to be disappointed!
