No one expected Stephen McEvoy to fill his father’s U.S. Senate seat at such a young age, least of all him. The scion of a revered political dynasty, he’s appointed to the Senate after his father’s untimely death. Now he’s in a tough election battle against an archconservative. When clever Anne Norwood interns in his office, he dismisses her as another pretty face—until her independent streak catches his attention. She soon finds him far more interesting than his Senator McEvoy persona. They’re both too smart to fall for one another, yet they do. Their relationship becomes a political gamble in a tight election, and all the while, his opposition lies in wait for him to make a mistake. As Stephen’s past catches up with him, he and Anne must fight for their future. Their lives mean more than politics, and campaigns—like love—are either won or lost.

My Thoughts:
A Political Affair is a well written novel about a Senator,Stephen McAvoy running for re-election and a young intern, Ann Norwood, who works in his office. The two find themselves attracted to each other and of course this is not a good thing for either one of them as it could be detrimental to their careers to have an affair. No matter how hard they tried they find that they can not keep apart to the consternation to their families as their families are both well known and on the opposite sides of the political arena.
I found this story to be very heartwarming and a sweet love story with genuine characters that I could relate to. The political aspect was interesting as the author relates to the reader just how corrupt people can be just to get ahead no matter what the cost...but of course love wins all in this great story. I loved the ending...happy of course!!
I received a copy of this book for review and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
