Jonathan Lake is the beloved NYC mayor who’s making a run for Governor. His widowed status and close relationship with his daughter casts him as the darling of the press, and the candidate to beat, but behind the flash of the cameras, things are spinning out of control. It all has to do with his strait laced, ruthlessly organized assistant. Her skills and reserved demeanor are perfect to run his campaign, but her brilliant brain has become a temptation he’s been fighting for too long. Can he convince her to take a chance on a long-term campaign for love or will his efforts end up in scandal?
Alyssa Block has admired the NYC mayor for a long time, but her secret crush is kept ruthlessly buried under a mountain of work. Besides, she’s not his type, and office scandals is not in her job position. But when they retreat to an upstate horse farm for a secluded weekend, the spark between them catches flame, and Jonathan sets those stinging blue-eyes on winning her. Can she convince him to focus on the upcoming election, or will she succumb to the sweet promise of a different future?

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars
This is the first book that I've read by Jennifer Probst and I have to say it won't be my last. Sometimes with novellas things fall through the cracks and the story line is too much for too little words. This was not the case with this novella. Alyssa works for Jonathan as his assistant and pretty much right hand woman. The two characters know each other so there is no trying to build a relationship between the two. Alyssa has always admired her boss, but kept everything strictly work related never believing that she was his type. Jonathan has lately been looking at Alyssa differently. She challenges him in ways and even though she's not his usual type she may be the type of person he could ending up with. The only problem is that she's his assistant and he's a political figure. They have to decide if what they have is worth the risk or if they should just pretend their are no feelings. I thought Jennifer did a great job with the chemistry and laying out all the problems of a relationship between the two. Both characters felt real and tangible and neither one was perfect. They both had faults and were worried about how everything was going to play out. Overall, this book made me realize I would like to read a full length book by Jennifer.
