“Incumbent...the title alone would not have grabbed my attention had the cover not blown my mind ;) WOW!!! Then I opened the book and DAAAAAMN, Joanne Schwehm grabbed me from the first chapter and kept me clean through to the last page!!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ Amazon Reviewer“First I need to say, I was the first person to have the pleasure of meeting Senator Drake Prescott, and it's a good thing I claimed him before anyone else. I devoured this book, and often threatened the author for more as I beta read every page the moment it was sent to my Kindle.” ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Author A.M. Madden
“I vote for Incumbent! Joanne Schwehm has yet to disappoint me. Her writing is effortless and the story is amazing. I can't wait for everyone to meet Drake Prescott. SWOON!!!” ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Author Trudy Stiles
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
*Sigh!* If only politicians looked and acted this way in real life, then we probably wouldn't be so disillusioned by them all.
Drake is a Republican Senator seeking re-election but with eyes on the ultimate goal of becoming President. Lucy is a high school teacher who invites Drake to talk to her class. She gets more than she bargained for from the caring, hot Senator and has to fight to maintain her composure. The attraction between them is strong but Lucy has secrets; secrets that could bring down the incumbent Senator if their relationship becomes public, with the opposition seeking to win at any cost.
These are two really special characters. Lucy for the strength of character it took to rebuild her life. Drake for being kind and considerate to those around him and for realising that dreams are fluid and not much of a dream if you are lonely. The Prescott family as a whole is pretty amazing in their attitude towards people and life.
An awesome read that had me completely hooked and eagerly devouring it from the first to the very last word. I can't wait to read more from Joanne Schwehm and the Prescott family.
