The Politics of Love (Noire Fever)
All Eden Warner knows is that every minute her students spend waiting for the press conference with mayoral hopeful Chase Mathews to begin is another minute of nonlearning. Chase hears Eden expressing her views on drive-by photo ops, and volunteers to take Eden's suggestion to spend more time in the schools to learn about the challenges teachers face. Chase is smitten with Eden for her looks, and her rapport with her students. She is reluctant to get involved, however, believing that a relationship may lose him the election: she is black and he is white. Carmichael's typical contemporary romance is laced with the atypical aspects of an interracial relationship in the public eye, making this novel both enjoyable and thought-provoking.Maria HattonCopyright © American Library Association.
