Gia is a hotshot campaign manager. She should be. Her father ruled the county for years…until he went to prison. Determined to back a worthy candidate, Gia chooses to run a newbie who happens to be her fiancé. Logan is a high-tech phenomenon. In addition to being more than a little arrogant, he is beyond wealthy. Desperate for campaign cash, Gia is determined to convince him to support her … candidate. She insists she doesn’t want him, she just wants his money. That assertion lasts until she meets him.
Not surprisingly the sparks fly between Gia and the sexy entrepreneur, until he refuses to fund her candidate. Infuriated by his rejection, she kicks him to the curb. When her fiancé/candidate commits an unspeakable crime, Gia admits that the wealthy tech magnet was a better judge of character than she was.
That doesn’t mean that she will accept his outrageous proposal as to who should run for office to replace her disgraced candidate.

OMG Taylor Lee has hit this new series out of the park. Great action, suspense, and of course, romance. Wonderful beginning of this series.
Gia is beautiful, straight to the point, and a loner. Logan is arrogant and also a loner.
This awesome story is about politics and what can happen when two loners get together and explode the political arena.
Can they make it work? Will they make it together or not? You HAVE to read it and find out.
Totally awesome Ms. Lee. Keep up the great work. I can’t wait to read the next one.
Against the odds
Gia is a political campaign manager and is trying to get funds for her candidate. When she tries to approach Logan for funding for the campaign, she has road blocks thrown up at her left and right, which is when she decides to go all out. Unfortunately, she is holy unprepared for the effect he has on her
An intriguing start to this story and I admit I’m interested to read what happens next and find out more about Logan
I absolutely love every book that Taylor Lee has writren; so when she came out with Against the Odds, a political thriller I was a little concerned as I am not a big fan of politics, especially given our current environment. But let me tell you, fans of Taylor’s will not be disappointed; and those of you that haven’t read her books yet will love it!
Gia is the woman behind the candidate, and she is all he has going for him; at least until his dirty little secret is discovered. Logan is the big donor of Gia’s dream; if she could only meet him and pitch her candidate. When their paths finally cross chemistry ignites and tempers flare between these two powwerful figures.
Against the Odds is a perfect mix of romance, intrigue, secrets and the dark underbelly of the political world.
I read an ARC of Against the Odds and willingly left this honest review.
Gia and Logan seem like oil and water on the surface, but underneath their chemistry’s so hot it’s practically off the charts. As the start of their tale, this story’s a captivating romance of a strong-willed female and a dominant alpha male. The passion is HOT and strong, and the action is fast-paced and engaging. You will be drawn into the story from the beginning, finding it hard to put down. Although this is the start of a series, it can be read as a standalone with an HFN ending. I highly recommend you read this story! I’m definitely looking forward to the next in the series!
Ok. I’m hooked! I didn’t think I would be because “bodacious” and a couple of other words I attribute solely to Taylor Lee’s writing seemed to come up more often than usual.
I have to say that I started out to read a chapter because I was reading another book at the time. I could not put this down. I was not prepared to enjoy a book about politics given the volatility of our current political climate. This grabs you at the very beginning.
Gia was fierce, strong, independent, and intelligent. She was also fragility personified and vulnerable. The men closest to her seemed to be the only ones that recognized her vulnerability.
Logan also had the same qualities as Gia, along with being dominant, arrogant, and slightly pompous. But, Logan was one of those men who recognized Gia’s needs and attempted to take care of her.
This book has some interesting twists. The situation with her father hit her hard. The situation with her candidate was a surprise. Not in some ways, but in other ways, whew! That is not to mention the shenanigans that occur toward the end of the book. Then, to top it off, we have the end of the book. Surprise!!
I can only surmise there is more to come with the Candidate Book series. There is an end to this book, but not really. I kept trying to turn the page at the end, to no avail. Things end. Things begin. Things continue.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
