Review of A Compromising Position
After being promoted to the sought-after position of campaign manager for Russell Tillman, Catherine Lawrence feels a great sense of accomplishment. The business of politics is competitive and cut-throat, and Catherine is making great strides in her career. But despite her burgeoning success, she cannot ignore the gaping hole in her heart; she is becoming increasingly lonely.
Enter swoon-worthy Aussie surfer Jake, who moves in next door and immediately sets his sights on Catherine. While Catherine relishes the attention of a handsome suitor, she wonders if there is room for her career and a relationship. She has always been forthcoming with Jake; her job is her first priority. But how will Jake feel playing second fiddle to her career long-term? Doesn't he deserve more?
A Compromising Position by Diane Merrill Wigginton is a light-hearted romance about making sacrifices for love. The book is written from the third-person perspective, following Catherine Lawrence as she navigates the uncharted waters of love while juggling her demanding job as a campaign manager. The charming story takes place in beautiful Florida, where the temperature isn't the only thing sizzling.
The book had many things to love; one of my favorites was Catherine and Jake's sensual but tasteful chemistry. The author deftly crafted scenes that highlighted their attraction from their initial meeting and created palpable tension. Between stolen glances and their sarcastic, albeit playful, banter, it captured my attention. I quickly became invested in their burgeoning romance. I was desperate to know if there was anything beyond that intriguing physical attraction.
Beyond the well-developed character relationships, I enjoyed learning about Catherine's job as a campaign manager. It added dimension and proved that it wasn't your typical cookie-cutter romance story. Catherine was more than a damsel in distress, waiting for some man to sweep her off her feet. She was a fierce, independent woman who was driven to succeed in her career. I appreciated that she didn't let it take a backseat to a guy. Between handling the Tillman scandal and doing some serious damage control, it was apparent Catherine was a force to be reckoned with—putting out fires and looking fabulous all at the same time.
There was nothing to dislike about the book; it was thoroughly entertaining and professionally edited. I have chosen to give A Compromising Position a rating of five out of five stars because of the red-hot chemistry between Catherine and Jake and the emphasis on Catherine's political career.
I recommend the book to anyone who loves an immersive romance. Catherine and Jake's story is sweet and sexy without being smutty and will resonate with many readers.
