Genre: Adult Contemporary Political Romance
Part 2 in a series but can be read as a standalone
My Caught in the Act Review ...
Here, we have a political Romeo and
Juliet type story. There are two political rivaling families the
Davenports and the Harrisons. This is the second book in this series but I read it as a standalone. This family is like a house of cards
with all their secrets. From the gist of it we find that Cat Davenport
needs a break from her family after finding out some doozy family
secrets. So, she runs to a place that means more to here then she even
realizes.
Here she has a chance to be childless for a
few weeks and enjoy some alone time which she doesn't get often being a
widow and in charge of the Davenport's Legacy. One shining part of her
vacation is her sexy neighbor with a firm butt that she secretly covets
through binoculars every morning.
As she's on
vacation it's quickly ruined with more family drama and being
caught between the war of these two battling families. While she's
there she also is mourning a loss of few things lost 19 years ago. What
she didn't expect is that her sexy neighbor is also one of the things
from her past that she never thought she would see again.
Brody
Hollister is a history professor at the local university and loves what
he does but finds himself being lonely at times. While hating being part of
a political family that is nothing but bad. When Brody finds Cat
Davenport being his new neighbor his feelings from the past resurface
and for the first time in a long time he wants something more but to get that
he has to hide a part of himself to get it. Because with the
Davenports their appearance means everything.
"You do that, Miss Davenport. Put your public face back on. Wouldn't want to be caught living your own life, would you?"
After
rekindling with Brody, Cat starts to realize the reality of the
manipulation that is her family. Especially holding a devastating secret
that can ruin everything. As Brody and Cat continue with holding their
secrets their relationship blossoms until some of the secrets start
leaking out. Can Cat go beyond being a Davenport or will she always
choose her family over herself?
I did like this
political romance and it had me captivated with all the layers of
secrets and nasty game playing. I have to admit I hate it when both
parties of the main couple have secrets and one secret is WAY bigger
than the other, but there's such a double standard when they find out the
other secret first and go all 'woe is me, how could you?' when there
secret is WAY bigger and more damaging. Argh!!! I have to admit that part drove me bat
shit crazy but thankfully someone who is much younger and wiser than
them teaches them some life lessons so they can get over their own shit
and pride and see things for how they really are.
With this house of cards so many secrets are coming reveal, while more are to come. I can't wait to continue with this series. This was my first Kim Law book and will not be my last. :)
4 House of Cards thumbs up!
