The writing is good in terms of humor, but the women are described in terms of looks, and your new f__ buddy and the commander's wife just help out and no one blinks?

I just flew through Rayne's Thunder: The Politician & the Witches, part 3 of Rayne's story in "Dating a Werewolf". As soon as I started I was instantly back in the hectic life of Rayne & her family, then it was finished... where did the rest of the book go??? I just wanted to keep reading.

Rayne is finally updated about what she's been kept in the dark & knowing brings her some clarity & a feeling of being home, helpful & a part of the family again. But things withing the werewolf community aren't quiet...

What an amazing installment in Rayne's story of finding her mate, although I really wish I was able to read all of her story in one hit, I have to be patient. I can't wait to read what comes next for Rayne & then read what happens for River & Rhyme in their sotries.

Right after Halloween, it is election time.  How we start with the local races?

To vote for the best Mayor in Romanceland go to my Goodreads list: City Hall: Mayor Heroes and Heroines in Romance Novels

As I put this list together, one thing became clear-we need more Politician Heroines  and Non White Politician Heroes in Romanceland (and outside of it as long as we are on the subject.)

Here are the female Politicians Heroines I found!

Your Planet or Mine? by Susan Grant  has a California State Senator Heroine

Compromising Positions by Mary Whitney has a Congresswoman Heroine

First Lady by Susan Elizabeth Phillips  First Lady 

Any more out there?  MPs, Senators, Mayors, District Attorneys, Governors, Ambassadors,Presidents, Candidates?  Bring'em! 

There are some Men of Color  Politician Heroes tucked into the lists below and on the Goodreads list but not enough.

Although, we don't tend to see politicians as heroic, the truth is civil service done for the right reasons is very sexy.
