What a story!  I tend to stay away from romance because it's not always my preferred genre, but every so often, I come across a real winner like this one!  The characters were fun to follow, lighthearted and very fleshed out.  I loved their dynamics together and a part.  And then there was the story!  It kept me so interested from start to finish.  I loved the political elements, the mysteries...and that ending!  You better believe I'm picking up book 2 ASAP!
