2.5 stars 
 This novel was totally not what I was expecting, and not in a good way. 
 The romance between Spencer and Tomas was overly sweet, vanilla to the point of being boring and kind of cheesy. I was also surprised by the fairly low steam level, since it's unusual for this author. 
 For the most part, I enjoyed the romance, but it got buried under politics, immigration problems, gay rights, marriage equality and foster care system issues. I do realize that all this stuff is important, but romance books are my chance to escape reality for a bit and in this one I was dragged back to it again and again.
