What I'm Reading Wednesday 14/October

tracy ewens, candidate, book reviews


 
I've never read anything by this author before, but it was recommended by a friend and decided to try it out. The combination of a love story with the backstage of a political campaign, while not exactly original, it at least different from the other books I've read lately, and I was ready for a change. That, and the fact that I love the cover.

Here's the synopsis from Amazon: 

Katherine Galloway is two years divorced and still living out of boxes. Between her brothers (cops that work with her ex) and her mother’s constant reminders that her clock is ticking, Kate is trying to hold it all together. But the truth is, she’s eating Toaster Strudel for dinner, and living and breathing her PR career.. When it comes to public relations, there’s nothing she can’t handle . . . or at least that’s what she thinks.

Grady Malendar, the only son of United States Senator Patrick Malendar, has a reputation as a playboy who likes to have a little too much fun. The senator is running for re-election and needs Grady’s help with the youth vote. But what they want is a new and improved, headline-free Grady, so they hire a PR firm. Grady is willing to participate in the dog and pony show to help his father win, but there are some things about Grady’s life he wants to keep hidden. Especially from his snoopy new PR “babysitter,” Kate Galloway.

Somewhere between campaign stops and fundraisers, Kate and Grady discover that neither of them are what they appear to be on the surface. Tensions between them grow until there is no denying they are falling in love behind the scenes of a façade they both need to keep in place. Will scandal, old wounds, and secrets tear them apart, or will Kate and Grady realize, despite appearances, they are both candidates for love?


I've just started this morning, so no formed opinion one way or another yet , but I will obviously post a full review when I finish it. 

Happy readings, 

the book worm, book reviews
