Book Reviews of The Candidate
Book Review: Timely
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm always excited to find a new author in this genre, and am almost always impressed with their work. Tracey Richardson is no exception. This is a timely story about a female presidential candidate who is running against a strong male opponent. Talk about fiction mirroring reality...
This story is reminiscent of the plots from `Madam President' by Blayne Cooper, and `Love and Honor' by Radclyffe. In all three books, the story is about a public figure who would potentially lose a lot by exposing her sexuality to the nation AND a public servant (or reporter in the case of `Madam') who must remain emotionally neutral to do her job. One would think these stories would eventually get boring, but all three authors bring something unique to their writing to keep the reader hooked.
In this, my first Richardson novel, she has brought us Jane Kincaid, a passionate candidate for president. Jane is a different kind of candidate, in that she includes all of her staff in decisions, celebrations, etc. Hoping to find a primary Secret Service agent who will fit well with her team, Jane brings Alex Warner on board. Alex is concerned about her ability to fully perform in this new role, but is looking forward to the assignment. That is, until she and Jane begin to become more than professional companions. Their story is compelling and well-told.
Summary of The Candidate
Presidential candidate Jane Kincaid--gorgeous, dynamic and extremely driven--is taking the country by storm, passionately outlining her blueprint for America. Voters quickly fall in love with her... and so, unwittingly, does Secret Service Agent Alexandria Warner.Their mutual attraction begins to take on a fiery life of its own, and soon Jane fears that their intense feelings for each other are a tinder box that could destroy the landscape of her career... and alter the history of the country.
Jane had always expected the road to the White House would exact a high personal toll. She just never knew how high... until she's forced to choose between her heart and her political destiny
