Dirty Defiance by Brenda Rothert, Chelle Bliss

5.0

I have read several of Chelle Bliss books and loved them so this was a no brainer to pick up to read. I am new to Brenda Rothert but after this book I will be looking up her books to start reading! This book is the third in a trilogy but I have not read the first two books and I was fine. But I have already bought them to read next!

This was my first political themed romance novel and it was a blast to read. Jude and Reagan are an odd political couple. He is a Republican running for Governor and she is a Democrat lobbyist. They met when they were running against each other ( which is what the first book Dirty Work is about) Anyway they are both alphas that clash a lot but that is what makes them click. Underneath all the clashing is two people who love and respect each other and are trying to navigate their relationship. This book has several twist and turns and I was surprised several times. I loved that they surprised me with several plot points, I was never sure how the next scenes would turn out.I love their dynamic and there are some serious steamy love scenes. I really enjoyed this book, I have not read many books that we get to see the happily ever after and the normal struggles to build and maintain a relationship. I would love to see more in this series and cant wait to read book one and two!
