Mamma Lou MatchMaker #8
When Love Calls
Political lobbyist Alyssa Wingate sneaks into an exclusive reception, hoping for a chance to convince Senator Randolph Kingsley to support her foundation for improving elder care. The plan didn't involve ending up in a police station with him in the middle of the night—or becoming involved in a red-hot relationship that could jeopardize his career and her livelihood.
Randolph's life is charmed…but it's also empty.
Surrounded by ambitious social climbers, he's struck at once by Alyssa's understated beauty and poise, and by her passionate commitment to her cause. But in a cutthroat city like Washington, D.C., lobbyists and politicians shouldn't mix business with pleasure, much less fall in love….

The story starts with Alyssa Wingate who works on staff with a small lobbyist organization concerning issues involving Alzheimer's and the elderly and wants to become a lobbyist herself. The best way to accomplish it is to get US senator to support her cause. Not just any senator but while doing research she became quickly infatuated with Randolph Kinsley.
Randolph Kinsley successful, sensual and sinfully sexy. He literally bumps into Alyssa Wingate at a social function and became completely distracted by her. Both Alyssa and Randolph had a huge attraction that neither understood. As they try to get to know each other they realize that not everyone was supportive of their relationship particularly Alyssa Wingate grandmother and her bosses. Someone is going to great lengths to make sure their relationship do not succeed and the how and why that is the most interesting part of the story.

This book is a great read. Quick and sassy with a very political twist.
