If only real life politics could give us a family like the Callahans. Barrett comes from a upper class, political family, he's a bit of a manwhore and proud of it. Addison has worked her way up in the political world, had a big set back by trusting the wrong man, and has once again started rebuilding her career by working on Senator Callahan's presidential campaign. 
 Senator Callahan is the favorite candidate but not enough that he feels secure he will win the election, the only possible blemish is Barrett's "a different lady every night" reputation. He comes up with a plan to help with Barrett's image, get him a fake fiance until the election is over and he knows the perfect candidate, Addison. Senator Callahan gives Addison an offer she just can't refuse. 
 Barrett and Addison grudgingly go into this fake engagement. They both go in with a dislike for each other based on how they assume the other will be, it isn't long before a sizzling chemistry develops between them, a chemistry they are both determined to ignore. The attempt to fight their feelings begins to fail as they get to know each other, the main issue holding them back is strong, independent Addison's ability to learn to deal deal with cocky, bossy Barrett. Addison and Barrett's journey is filled with passion, sexual tension and a fear of trusting each other with their hearts. 
 I absolutely LOVED Running Mate by Katie Ashley; it's sexy, fun and entertaining! I found the entire cast of characters funny, strong, and well developed. Add the characters into a political world most of us don't understand, wicked banter plus palpable sexual tension, great sex scenes and Running Mate becomes a refreshingly different romance that will be one of my top reads of 2017. 
 Take a chance on this book you won't be sorry!
