Bi-Partisan by Dallas Smith
5.0

This is my first Dallas Smith book, but I am blown away by how good this book was! First of all, the cover is adorable and drew me in right away. I love any romance novel that features a character that is in politics, and I also love to see characters featured in medicine - Adrian just so happens to be a veterinarian, so animal medicine it is. Jamie is a Congressman who is up for relection, but he is just discovering his own bisexuality and is not out to his constiuents. He goes out with friends one night, where he meets Adrian and they have an instant conenction, followed by a one night stand. Unfortunately, Jamie is then publicly outed, due to someone taking photos of him and Adrian, and his team decides that the best course of action is for Jamie and Adrian to fake date to help his chances of winning. 

This book features so many of my favorite things: politics, MM romance, fake dating, bi awakening, chronic illness rep, mental health rep, and a playlist. I love just how much care the author put into both characters and their respective struggles. Jamie is struggling with chronic illness (acid reflux/GERD) and I thought the author's portrayal was so accurate and well researched. Adrian struggles with an anxiety disorder, and it makes him have a hard time in his relationships. I loved how Jamie and Adrian took care of each other, and there was so much concern from both of them. It was clear just how much they liked each other, and each and every moment between was just so sweet and cute. This book is just cozy and cute and a great book to curl up with. There was spice in this book, and I really loved how well it was written. It was hot, but also tender and showed the connection between Jamie and Adrian. I also really enjoyed the side characters within this book and hope that we might get stories for them. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and absolutely adore Jamie and Adrian! They hold a special place in my heart and I'm looking forward to more in this series. Thank you so much to Dallas Smith for the eARC of this book!
