A MelanieM Release Day Review: The Senator’s Secret by K.C. Wells

Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5

Politics, puppy dogs, and passion, oh my!

When his Republican opponent outs him with a photo in a Facebook post, Senator Samuel Dalton doesn’t have many options open to him. It doesn’t matter that the photo is totally innocent. He has no choice but to come clean… until his staff suggest putting a spin on it that leaves Sam reeling.

Sure, he’ll end up with a lot of sympathy, not to mention the possibility of more voters from the LGBT community, but it still seems a pretty drastic solution.

Now all they have to do is persuade Gary, the other man in the photo, to play along. It sounds so easy: convince the constituents of North Carolina that he and Sam are engaged.

No big deal, except for the fact that they’ve only just met….

The Senator’s Secret by K.C. Wells is that adorable, feel good romance that you love to pick up and then hate to put down.  Its easy on the heart, quick to read but so loving and heartwarming that you won’t forget about the characters and their romance once you put the Kindle  down.  Its why we love to read romance novels.  The falling in love, the laughs and shared time togethers that pulls us, the readers in with them, and then the happy endings, that make us giggle and sigh.  Yep…the total romance sans angst.

Is it realistic?  No, not really and to tell you the truth, I didn’t and don’t really care.  Amidst the mud slinging currently going on and living near the Nation’s Capital I get more than my share of authentic politics.  So if K.C. Wells wants to bend reality and give me a glimpse into what a kinder, gentler  side path might look like?  I say fine, go for it.  I’ve about had it with reality.

Senator Sam?  He’s so good, that I’d vote for him, knowing he’d  never last in Washington, DC.  But as a romantic main man?  He’s lovely and charming,  And I laughed at his lines as written by Wells.  He charmed me totally.  Gary, the volunteer working for him never had a chance.  I wish we had more of a background on Gary but the history we got from Wells was heartbreaking and enough to connect us with this veterinarian in the making.  Is it plausible in this day  and age that such a deception would take place?  Probably not.  But this is Dreamspun Desires, recreating a line of romance novels where this sort of thing was commonplace (I know, I  know).  Suspend your disbelief and go with the flow.

I loved both characters.  The dialog between the two is snappy, at times  poignant and almost guaranteed to make the connection between couple and reader.  Its funny, each character has a distinct feel and flow, something I don’t always find.

And yes, there is a dog.  Bonus points, K.C.

Want an adorable romance, lighthearted and sweet?  One easy on the heart, that will leave you laughing and full of sighs?   Pick up K.C. Wells’ The Senator’s Secret!  I highly recommend it.

Cover art by Paul Richmond is adorable. Its even got Dinky in it.
