Contemporary Romance



Sway features a politician and a single mother of an adorable ten-year-old son. They have the odds stacked against them and have to decide if a life together is worth the sacrifices and adjustments that would have to be made to make that happen. And, I promise, you’ll never look at grapes again.

BARRETT LANDRY  has it all.
Power, prestige, and plenty of women, the dapper politician’s life is pretty phenomenal. But in the midst of the biggest campaign of his life, he needs to focus. The last thing he can afford is a distraction.

ALISON BAKER is a work-in-progress.
As a single mother to HUXLEY, she’s rebuilding life on her terms. She’s focused on family, faith, and a future for her son that can’t be taken away. Putting her child first means not being careless, no matter what.

A chance encounter forces Barrett and Alison to redefine what they really want out of life. But everything comes at a cost ... and sometimes, even for love, it’s a price too steep to pay.
“I want a chance to win you over,” he breathes, peering at me. The way his eyes search mine make it seem like time stands still. “Will you let me try?”
He forces a swallow and the look of hesitation, the internal fight he’s having, isn’t lost on me. It’s there, right beneath the surface, and when I add my concerns to the mix, it’s enough to make me balk. Just a bit.
"I'll think about it," I whisper, holding on to the little strand of courage I have left.
“Say yes.”
Instead of responding, I ask, "Where'd you get that scar over your right eye?" I reach out and press gently on the raised skin. I expect him to pull back, but he doesn't.
My hand shakes as I touch his warmed skin. His forehead is silky and smooth. I'd like to run my hands over every inch of it, feel it ripple beneath my fingertips.
The corner of his lips twitch. "Lincoln hit me in the head with a baseball."
"Bad reflexes on your part?"
"Wicked curveball on his," he says, his face breaking out into a full smile.
“I thought he played center field?”
“He does. But he pitched some growing up.”
We stand inches apart, my hand gently brushing down the side of his face. Although I feel like he'd stand here all night and talk to me, it’s not possible.
"I really need to get back to work," I say, trying to unlock my eyes from his.
“Dinner? This week?”
I can barely resist the look in his eye, the one that implores me to say yes. The one that makes me believe he really does want to have dinner and spend a few hours with me.
I need to get away, put some space between us while I can.
“We ran into each other tonight,” I shrug. “If we’re supposed to see each other again, then I guess we will.” I start to turn away before I completely buckle under his gaze.
“How am I supposed to get ahold of you? I don’t have your number,” he calls after me.
Heading up the steps to the Savannah Room, I glance at him over my shoulder. “You’re the Mayor. Figure it out.”
Sway is the first book in The Landry Family Series. I would give this book a 4 stars and highly recommend to others. I was instantly pulled into this story from the first page, I do have to say one thing though it does have similarities to another story I have a read about a hot politician but what would the romance world be like if we didn't have similar stories out there all over the place?? Although there are similar aspects I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have read a few stories by this author and I really do enjoy her writing style and her story plots. And who doesn't love a story of a somewhat alpha male politician!

This is Alison and Barrett's journey, this book will have you on a whirlwind throughout the whole book! There are lots of plot twists and turns they will have you anticipating what is going to happen next. Can two people who lead two completely different lives find a way to mold them together?

Mistakes are made, past demons will creep up and try to destroy everything but what will be the end results? Will they sway together or fall completely apart?

Get to one clicking you don't wanna miss out on this story! I can't wait for the next book in this series Swing-- Hot Sexy Baseball Player Lincoln is up next!!!
