Pink Palace

By Rachel Sheer

Ellie Walsh has enough on her plate as it is. The new session of the Ontario legislature is in full-swing; her boss, the opposition critic for education, has leadership aspirations; and her co-worker is trying to sabotage her career. The last thing Ellie needs is to fall for the wrong guy. And the charming -- and gorgeous -- Garrett Foster is definitely the wrong guy. When the charismatic consultant arrives at the Pink Palace to work for the enemy, Ellie finds herself thrust to the forefront of her own party's machinations. Torn between love and duty, Ellie must make her choice -- and she knows that in the unforgiving world of politics, there are no second chances. Sparks fly as Ellie and Garrett learn the most difficult lesson of all: how to compromise. A truly modern romance, 'Pink Palace' blends the recent political climate in Ontario with humour, intrigue, and an insider's unique view of life at the legislature.

Pink, Fluffy...and Completely Delightful!

Anyone who's a sucker for snarky banter, romance and good old-fashioned UST (Unrelieved Sexual Tension) will love this little pink gem. Garrett Foster, ostensibly the archetypal dark-eyed hero, has his head well and truly turned by smart, ambitious Ellie Walsh - and the feeling's mutual! But with both seated firmly on opposite sides of the political arena, romance couldn't be more inappropriate. Struggling with morality, party loyalties and her overwhelming attraction to Garrett, Ellie has to ask herself some difficult questions. Are personal politics more important than love? Is it possible to have a meaningful relationship with a guy who has longer eyelashes than you? What has that bitch Arlene been doing with party funds? And what the hell is her friend Cynthia so damn happy about?!! Snappy dialogue, believably flawed characters and an impressive knowledge of the minutiae of Canadian legislature, make Rachel Sheer's first novel a thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to her next offering.
