Running Mate

Under Kansas Skies, Book 1

De: Leah Brunner

Narrado por: Shaina Summerville, Kyle Mason

When making it to congress means faking a marriage . . . fake it 'til you make it takes on a whole new meaning.

Apparently, conservative Midwestern voters want more than my brains, connections, and good looks to vote me in as a congressman.

That's right, to appear as the all-American family man they want . . . I need a wife. ASAP.

The lovely Odette Hastings seems to fit the bill. She's a wholesome small-town girl, and conveniently in need of cash. I'll give her the money to take care of her elderly parents, and she'll be the political arm candy I need.

We both win, right?

The only problem is Odette is a little too beautiful, a little too intelligent, and way too distracting.

I have to keep my eye on the prize. Because there might be something I want more than a seat in congress.

I loved this marriage of convenience story!

I loved this story! It was also fun to listen to it on audio.

The author did a great job of capturing the feelings that Odette had for Madden, from her high school crush to being his wife for the sake of his campaign run. Odette proved herself time and again and showed herself to be a kind and caring person as she navigated married life with Madden.

Madden made some pretty big mistakes within this marriage that really hurt Odette emotionally and threatened not only their marriage of convenience, but also the connection and love that was growing between them.

I appreciated how much Madden grew within this novel. He overcame some misplaced beliefs about himself and got his priorities right by the end of the story. It was great to see how these two got their start after having first met them as an established married couple in the novella, Passion or Penalty.

The perfect audiobook!!

Everything about this was perfect. The story, the narration and the characters. Definitely a favorite!!

Absolutely loved this!

Devoured this! So good! Love a good political rom com. Can’t wait to continue the series. Great narration too!

Wonderful story!

I absolutely enjoyed listening to Madden & Odette's story come to life by these amazing narrators!!

Running Mate

The narrators did a fantastic job. This was a cute, sweet, and realistic love story. I liked how politics were just a sub plot and not the main plot. Our MMC was a lovable idiot. He figured everything out in the end. Can’t wait to read more in the series.
