So... This was actually pretty refreshing and "different", if you will. In preparation for 
 I have decided to read and review this and boy am I glad I did. This kind of forbidden romance is something I really enjoy! It wasn't the naughty-naughty taboo kind of forbidden love... but. BUT... the circumstances in which these two main characters find themselves certainly make this a pretty angsty read and needless to say I was all torn up over their "predicament". 
 Charlotte Wells is a daughter of a Senator and she has been very well acquainted with the world of politics since childhood. In fact she has even met the President of the United States when she was 11. And the President brought his son with him. Charlotte is immediately fascinated with Matt and she spends following his career years after their initial meeting. Until... they meet again. dun dun dun. See where I'm going with this? 
 Matt Hamilton and Charlotte Wells meet years later when Matt announces that he is going to run for president. He sees her at one of the functions and invites her to be part of his campaign team. She agrees. The rest, as they say, is history. 
 But is Matt prepared to fall in love? If he is going to dedicate himself to the United States there is no time for him to have wife or a family. He knows how demanding his job would be and he refuses to put his loved ones through missing him while he is constantly working. 
 Matt is definitely a very likable and lickable hero. :D I've been on an asshole male/damaged heros rampage lately and it was actually nice to read about a "good guy" for a change. 
 "He looks steady, which is what the country wants, a little bit rebellious, which is that the country needs, and different, the embodiment of the change we crave." 
 In fact, both of the main characters were so likable that I couldn't help but root for them. The sexual chemistry was there but the whole book was pretty demure as far as sexy times. There was a lot of anticipating "foreplay" with a couple of fade to black scenes. But this book certainly didn't lack in romance and that suited me just fine. 
 This ends with a cliffy and I can't wait to read the second installment. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves forbidden love stories, sweet and likable heros and heroines and super romantic reads with a bit of politics infused to make it quite unique.
