Book Review: Absolute Majority

 


There is no room for love when politics are involved.

It may have only been a few weeks, but Ileah Vasileiou fell hard and fast for Finn Gallagher—the one man her father would never approve of. Instead of following her heart, she marries Delaware Governor-hopeful, Timothy McKinnon. As a rising political star, he’s the perfect political match—if he wasn’t more devoted to his career than her happiness. Forced to placate her family and the nation, her own ambitions are buried beneath a decade of public appearances and private silence.

When Tim is murdered, Ileah turns to the one man she never stopped loving. Known for being a ruthless businessman who can make or break anyone’s political career, Finn has been quietly waiting for the moment she'll be his again. With Ileah newly widowed and no longer bound by duty, Finn is done biding his time in hopes he can finally have the one woman he’s wanted for over a decade.

But in Washington, nothing is ever as it seems.

When secrets come to light, Ileah must choose between the life she’s learned to navigate and the one Finn and his brother have built for her.

PLEASE NOTE: Absolute Majority is not a standalone novel. It is book 2 and intended to be read after Arranged Vacancy. Also, this story is a deliciously spicy political romance that is intended for mature audiences. If you are looking for a romantic comedy, you will not find it here.



My Review



I like the mystery/thriller aspect of this story. It does read like a political romantic thriller. Beware that this book does sound like current events with the various political references. 


Ileah and Finn shared some steamy scenes. Although, I do have to admit that the romance was not enough to keep my intrigue and interest. This is the first time in a long while that I have not instantly loved a book by Irene. It actually took me by surprise. For some reason, I just struggled to connected with all of the cast of characters in the story. Thus, in part I struggled to stay connected with the story. There would be moments that would capture my attention and hold it for a while but then it would go away again. 


This book may have been just ok for me, but I still am a fan of this author's.
