A Political Affair by Mary Whitney

A Political Affair isn’t Fifty Shades of Red, White, and Blue, but it is a love story with spice and political intrigue. Stephen McEvoy never expected to fill his father’s U.S. Senate seat at such a young age—or to fight to keep it. When clever Anne Norwood interns in his office, Stephen dismisses her as another pretty face—until her independent streak catches his attention. They’re both too smart to fall for one another, yet they do. During a tough election, their relationship is an impossible political gamble. Campaigns—like love—are either won or lost.

My review:

Although I am entirely fed up with politics right now, I really enjoyed this book. The characters are likable, the story is really great and moves along quickly. It all starts when Stephen’s dad passes away and he attempts to get re-elected into the Senate. The conflict begins though when young Stephen (Democrat) falls for his counterparts (Republican) daughter, which could essentially derail his career if it’s discovered. It’s a really cute love story, I highly recommended it if you want to see the human side of politics in a fun way.
