3.0
3.5 stars. I loved the first half of the this contemporary romance for its sparkling dialogue and potent chemistry between Millie and Parker. I was thrilled to see a Carina romance that featured intelligent discussion about the tough choices of modern politics. The second half is weaker; although Parker acts like a douche bag, Millie ends up having to apologize for pulling back from the relationship. And it seemed to me that she acted adorable and vulnerable more often than she was shown to be competent at her job. But still an impressive category romance, and an author to watch.
(Am I reading too much into the novel to wonder if the characters' names, Millie and Parker, are intentionally similar to Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers, the major producers of board games? As in, all politics is a game?)
