Kelsey Harper
plans to get her story before the night ends. No one has ever been
able to get close to Senator Jason Devlin, and she is determined to
be the first. Not quite prepared for Jason to take her
in his arms, Kelsey is surprised when he does just that, and she
allows it to happen! One night isn't enough for either of them and
Kelsey agrees to spend the weekend with Jason away from the media
and family. But what happens at the end of the weekend
when it's time for her and Jason to part ways? What will she put in
her story and how will she react when she learns what he really is?
Senator Jason
Devlin will do whatever it takes to protect his career and his
family, but finding the woman who he wants to spend the rest of his
life mated to, proves to be almost more than he can handle when he
meets Kelsey Harper. A case of mistaken identity brings Kelsey into
his life, but how long can they last? He is a man with a whole pack
of secrets that could ruin him and put his family in danger.
Can he keep his secrets safe, or will his hard-nosed reporter
tell all?
Jaci Burton's
latest tale, Running Mate really brings out the
animalistic emotions in the reader. This is a bit different than
anything this author has done before, mainly due to the length of
the story, but her writing still hooks the reader immediately.
Jason is one of the sexiest Alpha males that I have had the
pleasure to read. He doesn't have any evil within his body and
certainly not his heart. He is genuine and I truly
liked that about him. Yes, he is a Senator and keeps his true
identity a secret, but that is just a part of the attraction to him.
Though we know what he is, there is still a mystery about him
waiting to be discovered and what a journey it is uncovering it all!
Running Mate
is a journey of self-discovery and emotional awakenings for both the
characters. They are together with no real expectations, no
ulterior motives, just simply...being. It's breathtaking,
energized, fast-paced and so very stimulating!! It is
also intriguing and leaves the reader wondering throughout if Kelsey
will really 'tell all' about Jason. I felt her confusion, her
rejection and all the other emotions Kelsey felt when she learned
the full truth about her lover. As a quickie, it was
wonderful, no where near long enough, but I really got a feel for
the characters, insight into the Devlin Dynasty and am definitely
anticipating more.

Senator Jason Devlin is a
man with a
dangerous secret, one that could destroy his career and his family. He guards his secret closely.
No one is allowed to penetrate his intimate
circle. When a case of mistaken identity
lands reporter Kelsey Harper in his bed, he has to decide between
keeping his
secret or the woman who speaks to his heart.
Once again Ms. Burton has
created an
intensely erotic story that heats the reader’s blood.
Despite its short length, Running Mate is a beautiful tale of
love in spite of the odds. It’s a page
turner that makes you wish it was
longer; however, I’m certain that the later books in the Devlin Dynasty
series
will more than make of for the brevity of the first.
I look forward to revisiting these
werewolves, especially Jason’s assistant, Brandon.
