Sweet Talking Man

Rating:
Summary: Politics and romance.
Review: When Beatrice Von Furstenberg refused permission for her 16 year old niece, Priscilla, to marry her 18 year old beau, Jeffrey, Priscilla had an idea. Put Beatrice in danger, then have Jeffrey rescue her. But Jeffrey is late and Beatrice is kidnapped and dumped in a brothel for safekeeping. Tammany-backed Congressional candidate Connor Barrow must rescue Beatrice while keeping everyong involved out of police hands. Beatrice and Connor find themselves becoming closer as they work for womens' right to vote and a woman-friendly bank.

Plodding start despite interesting characters. The chemistry between Beatrice and Connor is forced in the beginning, only improving in the last half of the book. Tammany's acts are very accurate.
