Blurb
Sex. Lies. Greed. Power. Scandal. Politics.
Political strategist, Elizabeth McNeal has been called a lot of things throughout her career—bitch being at the top of the list—but she doesn’t let it get to her. She’s bold, she’s blunt, and she takes orders from no one. This is how she’s survived working in a man’s world. She’s the master of diversion, and her specialty is winning an election—no matter the cost.
That is, until she meets her new client, Democratic candidate, Congressman William Baxter. Kind, considerate, insanely handsome, honest, and ten years her junior, he’s a unicorn among politicians. He infuriates her. He challenges her. Most of all, he makes her see past the scandalous world of politics and helps her to discover the heart of the woman inside her.
With sparks flying between them and the election rapidly approaching, the last thing either of them need is to be caught in a compromising position. Some lines are meant to be crossed and some rules broken, but for Elizabeth and Liam is it worth the cost of being politically incorrect?

Man, oh man! Jeanne McDonald out did herself with this book. It is no surprise that I adore Jeanne McDonald's writing style. Her description and placement of detail have you living in the book with her characters. I bow to her talents.
This book went outside her normal wheelhouse and she hit it right out of the ballpark folks!! You instantly get sucked into the word of Politically Incorrect from that very first page.
Jeanne took a scenario and reversed the playing field with her dominant, independent, job-focused older leading lady Elizabeth McNeal. And it was about stinking time someone wrote a woman that I could connect with and was not a pushover. Elizabeth is a powerhouse that is a force to be reckoned with. She is the best at what she does and no one outplays her when it comes to politics.
That is until she is hired to win Congressman William Baxter the democratic senate seat. If William wins he will be the youngest senator the state of Texas has ever had. Talk about the perfect drive to get Elizabeth to dive into this challenge head first. What possibly could go wrong?
William “Liam” Baxter is not your usual congressman. Yes, He has the dashing good looks, honorable background, but he does not play dirty. This man is all about his honesty and how to truly help the people. Liam is no puppet on a string and has no qualms letting anyone know that he is not for hire.
Liam's character is the perfect man I tell ya. He is probably my favorite leading man right now. He left me squirming with his dirty talk, panting with his desire for Liz and completely swooning with how he treated his lady. He was the total package!
I absolutely loved the chemistry between Liam and Elizabeth in this book. These two are the perfect power couple. The commanded a room in when they entered. Each one brought out the best in the other one.
The playful banter these two characters had left me in stitches. You never knew what Liz was going to say. I really love this leading lady hardcore!!!
Add the fact that Liam knew just how to drive Liz crazy with his sexy ways was the perfect bonus. The sexual tension in this book was smoldering in just the right way. Liam is one sexy, dirty talking man that knew just how to push Liz past the point of reason. That is if he could just get her out of her own head.
I cannot forget the supporting cast in this book. Jeanne did a great job at keeping her characters engaged and moving forward with this story. I loved the chemistry all the cast shared. It really kept me engaged.
If you are looking for a book you can get completely lost in Politically Incorrect is the book for you.
Excerpt
“You’ve been avoiding me all night, Elizabeth.”
My brain was on overload. His close proximity was killing my resolve. I pushed back against the very thing I wanted the most – to simply give into my desires. The pragmatic side of me took over, scratching and clawing to regain control.
“Congressman, if you haven’t noticed, I’ve been busy doing what you hired me to do.”
“I did hire you for a job. And I’ve been satisfied with you, until today.”
“I beg your pardon?” I gasped.
“I’ve just spent the last several hours selling you like you’re God himself. Not to mention all the hours I’ve invested in this campaign.”
“All of that’s true, and I thank you, but at this moment I don’t really care about the campaign.” He chuckled, taking a step forward, forcing my back against the lockers. I hit the metal with an oomph. My hands flattened against the cold steel. My eyes darted to the left and then to the right. This was bad. So bad. I began to freak over what our little standoff might look like to the media.
“Liam, we can’t do this here. What about the media?” I tried to push him back, but his large form wouldn’t budge.
“I don’t care,” he stated intensely.
“But I do. After tonight’s rally...” The corner of Liam’s mouth quirked upward. “Forget the rally or the media. Tell me why you’re avoiding me.”
He dipped his head, his lips brushing the shell of my ear. I withered at the feel of his tongue flicking my earlobe. All control was gone now. Kaput. Vanished. I was falling apart in his arms, which was the complete opposite of how he appeared to be.
Teeth grazed along my neck, a flick of his tongue followed. A small squeak and a heavy gasp expelled from me. My hands reached around his back, digging into the fabric of his jacket.
“Because I can’t resist you anymore.”
Damn him for being able to pull the truth out of me.
“Then don’t.”
