New World Rising #1
Written In Stone
The year is 2228. Bill Ashwood is set to become the most powerful man in Florida since the separation of America into individually governed states. Discovered by the League and primed to win the gubernatorial election, Bill is expected to give the voters what they want – a fiery speech condemning gays in America. Despite his reservations, Bill goes ahead and gives the speech, but the seeds of doubt are planted in his mind. Along with the secret desires he harbors in his dreams, Bill’s poised for a change of heart that will ensure nothing in his life will ever be the same again.
Daniel Wilson – a journalist for the Miami Reporter – receives a late night phone call asking him to watch the video of Ashwood’s speech. Incensed by what he sees as a personal attack on him and millions of others, he hatches a plan to seduce Ashwood and expose him in a special report.
Seduction is never easy, and soon Daniel finds himself falling for Ashwood, who claims to want out of the hateful riots planned by his campaign manager. If Ashwood wants to bring down the League’s campaign in Florida, he’ll have to take off his mask and tell the world the truth about his affair – but the League will go to any lengths to keep their dirty laundry under wraps.

*I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
2.5 stars
If there was ever a word that stick in my mind when reading this book , it is dramatic. After reading the blurb I kind of expected it to be that but not at that level. It's hands repeatedly slamming against something mostly table, clench jaws and martyr like behavior that turn this book into a gigantic soap opera.
The MCs literally met and fell in love within a week. The idea that someone is arrogant enough to think that their game was that strong that can seduce a seemly, straight candidate in a week before the election to ruin his chances of winning the governorship is a hard pill to swallow. That plan is ridiculous and anyone that that cosigned this plan is too. The romance and timeline of it weaken this story. The political aspect of it made this story not a flat out 1 star read for me.
It may be set in 2228 but everything felt kind of dated. You telling me in 200+ years you still going to find a working pay phone.
Overall I like my fiction to be so good that I believed the story to be true. But I also have special place in my reader heart that I love story that are so ridiculous in plot but you just can't help but love it. This story was too much for me to enjoy it. So many indecisive characters in this story. I will not be continuing with this series.
