This Chick Read: The Boyfriend Candidate by Ashley Winstead

When librarian, Alexis Stone gets dumped by her boyfriend for being boring in bed she decides to prove something to herself. She puts on a stunning outfit and goes to a sophisticated bar in a hotel to have a one night stand. When she is harassed at the bar by a drunk patron, Logan, a rather abrupt and brash man in a suit, comes to her rescue. They strike up a conversation and Alexis goes for it.. and Logan takes her up on the offer. Their chemistry is off the charts but unfortunately someone pulls the fire alarm just when things start to get interesting. Twisting her ankle on the way down the stairs, Logan carries her down, right into a crowded parking lot. He drops her with an EMT, but when he spots the press he takes off without getting her number.

Logan ended up being a candidate for Governor and of course their photo gets taken. When his team tracks her down they offer her a deal. Her image is just what he needs- a beautiful and sweet librarian who might help his brash reputation. In return she can have a favor. This was a cute premise with a charming main characters. They were total opposites but you know what they say about opposites attracting!

Logan and his political team get more than they asked for when Alexis decides to use her new notoriety to help teachers and librarians get better pay. I loved how she jumped out of her comfort zone and came out guns blaring. Logan seemed to love it as well. In politics he may have been brash but in a romance novel he was all alpha male and I loved their pairing. They were sweet and salty and watching them fall for each other under the premise of dating was really fun to read. For those of you who like to know the heat factor, the intensity was certainly there but this was a slow burn novel. This author knows how to build tension! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
