Description
Cindy Wight was elected on a wave of activist support, sent to Congress to change the status quo. After a career of proving herself as more than just a pretty face, she is ready to hit the ground running. The last thing she wants is to fall into a man's shadow—especially the eligible bachelor VP.
Alexander Drake is in his second term as a loyal vice president, and everyone is waiting for him to announce his run for the top job. Alex knows his next election will be easier to win with a wife on his arm—but he wants someone for more than photo ops; he wants a partner.
Sparks fly when Cindy meets the VP in negotiations over contentious cannabis legislation. Conference room meetings quickly turn to late-night flirty phone calls. The heat between them grows until they finally agree to pursue their attraction in secret, even finding some time on Air Force Two. But such a high-profile relationship can't stay in the dark for long. When rumors start to swirl and Cindy becomes the target of harassment, the scrutinizing public eye puts pressure on their budding relationship. Can Cindy and Alex risk their ambitious careers for love?

With the political season in full swing this was such a great novel showcasing the relationship between two people of high positions of power. I loved it! I got Scandsl vibes. It was so good!

WHAT A DELICIOUS BOOK!
I’ve never read anything from this author before, and I was intrigued by the book description. So glad that I was approved!
The plot has already been shared by previous reviewers, and the part that I liked the most was the fact that it was a slow burn romance that felt organic and it featured a hero and heroine who are both 40-something.
In amongst the romance is an inside look at the Washington political scene, and the author did a great job of explaining the scene without overwhelming the romance.
If you’re a fan of “The West Wing” and the film “American President” then this book is for you!

My Secret Vice is like the grown up version of The Boyfriend Candidate. It's smart, it's current and relevant, you find yourself rooting for the President and cackling at his wife- I adored it. I loved that you got both politics and romance, an intelligent, efficient and ambitious FMC, and a goofy, smart and dedicated VP for an MMC. The give and take and mutual compromise really sold this for me.
