Description
Though Stephen is a ladies’ man, he’s never let his love life interfere with his career—until he meets Anne Norwood, a new intern. At first, he dismisses her as just another pretty young thing, only more interesting. Stephen tries to steer clear of her, but with each sighting and interaction, an unspoken mutual attraction develops. Anne’s independent streak and clever mind intrigue him, and with his guard down, she discovers he’s far more interesting than his Senator McEvoy persona. They’re both too smart to fall for one another, yet they do.
Luckily for Stephen, no political dynasty is successful if left to one man. Stephen’s sisters, Patty and Megan, guard the family name, and their mother, Lillian, is both loving parent and shrewd matriarch. When she learns Stephen is willing to risk his seat for Anne, she decides the family will chaperone them in secret. Despite the compromise, the family remains committed to keeping the McEvoy Senate seat at any cost.
Stephen’s Senate race receives national attention as their feelings deepen and the political dangers increase. His opposition is steered by a conservative Godfather who investigates Stephen’s life, looking to pounce on any misstep. As they take greater risks seeing one another, Stephen’s past affairs and Republican opposition catch up with him, and they must fight for their future. In the heat of an election, no one is above surveillance, rumors, and threats. Campaigns— like love—are either won or lost.
Advance Praise
Living in Australia I'm not very knowledgeable with the American political world but Whitney has such a gift with words she made it easy to follow and the mixing of politics and romance was a real turn on.
The Senator had me swooning from the very beginning, he's charismatic, smart, good looking and he's my perfect man!
Senator McEvoy loves his family, after Stephen's father dies he steps into the Senator role. Stephen's trying to be the upstanding politician his father was well known for.
Stephen also likes his women and he's a well known ladies man, well that all changes once he meets the beautiful Anne Norwood.
Anne has everything that Stephen would love to find in his perfect woman, she's smart, loves the outdoors, is passionate about the environment and she can hold his attention were no other woman has been able to do.
The only catch is that Anne is his intern so it's a big no no for any kind of relationship.
The chemistry between them is hard to ignore, as much as they both try they keep finding themselves drawn to each other.
I found myself falling in love with all the characters. The McEvoy's are passionate and will do anything to protect each other. Stephen's mother Lillian is one smart woman and she's not to be messed with, loved her! Patty and Megan, Stephen's sisters work for him and they don't hold back in letting him know what's on their mind, especially Patty.
The Senator has his family in his ear reminding him that it will be political suicide for him to pursue Anne, but the attraction is just to great to ignore...
The story is well written and I found myself reading into the early hours as I didn't want to stop.
Once I finished A Political Affair I was filled with love and happiness, Stephen and Anne make a wonderful couple.

_________________________
"And what are your intentions?" she asked with a smile and an arched brow.
He
took the basketball and tossed it on the ground. Wrapping his arms
around her, he smiled. "Well, they're good, I assure you, but I can't
say they're pure."
This quote sums up this book for me. A Political Affair
is the story of two people--A U.S. Senator, Stephen McEvoy, and his
intern, Anne Norwood--who fall in love under challenging and potentially
scandalous circumstances. As they (and their politically active and
astute families) navigate the complexities of their circumstance,
intentions, and motives, we are treated to a fast-paced, funny, and
romantically charged political thriller. Throughout, Whitney does an
excellent job keeping the story grounded, moving, and realistic.
