The Phoenix Candidate by Heidi Joy Tretheway
5.0
I received a copy of this book from netgalley for an honest review.
This is the first book of Ms Tretheway's that I've read. All I can say is "AMAZING"!! I'm not usually into politics of any kind, real or fictional, but the way it is approached in this book, it makes it seem realistic, entertaining, and like you are right there in the beginnings of a presidential race with Grace. I'm a pretty picky reader, noticing all the small errors and typos, but I don't believe I noticed even one throughout this book. The writing is superb, both technically and creatively. At times, it's hard to tell exactly who the bad guy is, who the trusted ally should be, or even which ticket Grace should be trying to jump on. I know somewhere I saw that this was supposed to be an erotica book, and while Grace and Jared definitely create some steam, I would personally say that this is a contemporary romance, because it had way more substance than I'm used to in erotica. The story pulls you in from the very beginning, when you're trying to figure out why Grace is so sad.
I would recommend this book to any fan of contemporary romance, as long as you don't mind some very steamy scenes throughout the book. I don't think you'd be disappointed in this book!!
