BOOK SUMMARY

Perfect for readers of Susan Mallery and Rachel Gibson, Molly O’Keefe’s gritty and sensual tale of passion and politics features the brother of the heroine from the author’s beloved novel, Never Been Kissed. He’s a driven man who refuses to be distracted—until he meets a beautiful bartender who just may change his life.

With his chiseled jaw and his thick blond hair, Harrison Montgomery was born to lead. Four generations of Montgomery men have served the state of Georgia and now he’s next in line. Harrison, though, is driven to right wrongs: namely to clean up the political mess left by his father’s greed and corruption. But Harrison must first win his congressional bid, and nothing can get in his way—not even an angel who served him whiskey and gave him a shoulder to lean on and a body to love for a night. Problem is, she’s pregnant. Scandal is brewing and there is only one solution: marriage.

Damage control? Ryan Kaminski can’t believe that a cold, calculating political animal now inhabits the body of the emotionally vulnerable stranger who’d given her the most unforgettable night of her life. Really, she doesn’t want anything from Harrison, except to be left alone to have her baby in peace. But Ryan is broke, jobless, and essentially blackmailed by Harrison’s desperate family to accept this crazy marriage deal. For two years, she will have to act the role of caring, supportive wife. But what is Ryan supposed to do when she realizes that, deep in her heart, she’s falling in love.

MY REVIEW

With all the books that Molly O'Keefe has written so far, I'm surprised this is the first of hers that I have read. I found the writing to be pretty good, though in some places things were a bit drawn out, especially when it came to Harrison and the way he kept wavering back and forth.

I found Harrison to be a strong male lead, though at some points I wanted to tell him to take a stand and see that Ryan was a strong woman who can take anything you throw at her. But when you put two strong leads together, you're going to get some head-butting and stubbornness...and Harrison's almost totally derailed what any reader can see is meant to be.

In addition to our leads, the supporting characters had good depth and helped round out the story well. Harrison's parents were those love-to-hate-them types (and my opinion of them did not change the whole way through), Wallace and Noelle provided great insights-as did Harrison's sister Ashley and Brody, and Ryan's family provided a bit of drama along with a great scene between Harrison and Ryan's father.

I'm not normally a fan of books with story lines that deal with politics, but while Harrison is running for office and his father is governor, this story concentrates more on how everything affects Harrison and Ryan's relationship, and how they deal with their circumstances. Things between them tend to bottle up and suddenly become passionate, then cool off when the political issues creep in again, before bottling up and becoming steamy again.

An overall good 4-star read recommended for 18+, you'll find yourself with fingers crossed hoping everything works out for Harrison and Ryan...regardless of all the politics and family craziness.
