Spend My Life with You
Descended from a legendary political dynasty, Lee Ann Lawson has been the glue that holds her sprawling clan together. But being primary caregiver has meant putting her own dreams on hold. Preston Graham is about to change all that. From the moment they meet—at an estate in Baton Rouge—Lee Ann can't stop thinking about the ambitious, seductive junior senator from Louisiana.
All his life, Preston has focused on only one rising up the political ladder. Marriage isn't even on the ballot. Until Lee Ann. The passion she arouses is hot, irresistible…and all-consuming. Can he convince the senator's daughter to toss her hat in the ring—by giving her heart to him and a love that comes only once in a lifetime?

A great beginning
I absolutely loved it. I’m always apprehensive reading things that have a setting in my city and/or state but Donna Hill wrote it with such accuracy and reverence. I love this family and can’t wait to continue this series

Good read
Writing was superior, as I have experienced from the author. A good beginning to what I anticipate an engaging series. Was satisfied by the character, "Lee Ann" started living. Was happy to read about, "Rafe" from the (Sag Harbor Village).

Lee Ann was getting on my damn nerves. Your siblings are grown as hell and can take care of themselves.

Political romance no pun intended
Lee Ann and Preston... different backgrounds but brought together through political parties. In this story you see what it takes to make it work despite family and career. Lee Ann being the eldest daughter had a lot on her shoulders. As she comes into her own, and shed the insecurities, it leads to a passion and purpose like none other. Preston being the Alpha male was just what Lee Ann needed. He was a junior senator with integrity and purpose. He had the zest that Lee Ann needed. The Lawson being a close net family brought an interesting dynamics to how Lee Ann and Preston would finally get to their own happily ever after.

I thought the book was ok, pretty predictable though. Man and woman meet, fall in love, then something happens to pull them apart, then they realize they are meant for each other and get married. I will mention that it was nice that the characters actually dated over a period of time, and didn't fall in love and marry after a month. If you're an avid romance reader, and don't want to read the same ole' romance novel skip this one. I've read much better from Donna Hill.

Politics, back-room solutions, mysterious relationships. Lee Ann Lawson and Junior Senator Preston Graham meet at a thousand dollar plate raiser. Electricity sparks when they touch. Lee Ann the glue that holds her family together, their primary care-giver has put her dreams on hold for her family. Preston coming out of a troubled relationship never saw what hit him when he met Lee Ann. Passion is hot, sensual, irresistible, one day at a time.

This was a cute romance book. Lee Ann's story is like many older females of the family. They end up taking care of everyone else except themselves.Preston was an intelligent man who didn't take no for an answer. Together, they explored what love really was and where to take their relationship once they discovered it.

Love & Honesty
The honesty displayed by both Lee Ann and Preston as people just trying to find love is refreshing. Our past affects our present. If we don't confront it truthfully and deal with it, what is our future?
