For some unknown reason, I really, really, really enjoyed this short book. When I saw the title, I thought great "Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton" which seems to have become the standard of illicit political love affairs but this was not the case at all. It's was not tawdry but really well done and for some reason, the story appealed to me. Perhaps it was the older guy, younger girl trope that she had going on. The book was sexy and fun, but of course, as in all Victoria Wessex "He Wanted Me Pregnant!" stories, you just can't take them seriously. At least with this one, the couple had known each other longer than some of the others that she's written, so it's a little more believable. I say this in general for all of her books, there's a predictability to them that I really enjoy. I know the kind of story I'm getting and she makes no apologies for it, and I enjoy the stories. Perhaps they appeal to the traditionalist in me. On some level, these stories are totally primitive and feminists the world over will probably go up in arms reading them, but I don't care. :-) I really enjoy them. They are a fun, quick read and if you read them with a touch of a sense of humor, you'll have a lot more fun with them than if you take them seriously.
