I was not looking for a date.
\nAnother questionable relationship was the last thing I needed.
\nBecause trust me, they were all questionable.<\/p>\n

But through a series of unfortunate events involving my cat and
\nhis poor decision-making skills, I agreed to a set-up.<\/p>\n

Except\u2026 the set-up is with the governor.<\/p>\n

I am not political girlfriend material.
\nFor one, I\u2019m a little bit crazy.
\nFor two, I have secrets.<\/p>\n

But I also have a big crush on the governor.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 \u201cYou surprised me\u201d stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Audrey is a designer who upcycles vintage clothing into gorgeous one-of-a-kind pieces. After catching the eye of Mrs. Bianchi because of her talent, Mrs. Bianchi thinks Audrey is the perfect person to date her son. Little does Audrey know that she\u2019s about to go on a date with the governor, who happens to be her secret crush.<\/p>\n

Dating isn\u2019t easy for the governor when he doesn\u2019t have time to really meet anyone; however, when Warren meets Audrey thanks to his mother, she fits the bill to be his plus one at events. She\u2019s fun and knows how to hold her own even when she\u2019s put on the spot, and they have a good time together \u2013 as friends.<\/p>\n

When Warren discovers Audrey\u2019s place has a major plumbing problem, he insists she move in with him until its fixed. With all the time they spend together living within the same space, their friendship has a chance to evolve into more\u2026if they let it!<\/p>\n

The Next Mrs. Russo<\/i> is hilarious. Audrey is original, funny, and unapologetically awkward.\u00a0Warren is the total opposite as he portrays a serious governor who rarely smiles. These two are fantastic together and I love their interactions. Warren\u2019s level headedness and Audrey\u2019s over-the-top antics make for so many entertaining moments. I love that Audrey says what\u2019s on her mind even if it\u2019s totally crazy, and Warren goes along with what she does because he genuinely enjoys her company.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re insane,\u201d he says, but he uses his hand to cover a smile. And to be fair, he\u2019s not wrong.
\n\u201cYou\u2019re into it though,\u201d I reply, smiling back.
\nBecause he is. He is <\/i>so\u00a0into my particular brand of crazy. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I would have loved to get into Warren\u2019s head to really know what he was thinking when it came to Audrey. We get glimpses into his feelings with his smiles and glances, and I love that he accepts her for who she is but I want to hear his internal thoughts.<\/p>\n

The secondary characters are great. I loved the super sweet interactions between Warren, Audrey, and Bethany, and I love love love Miller. I need his story!<\/p>\n

The ending is wonderfully swoony, and I love how things play out when the conflict occurs. I enjoyed the lack of drama and I was either smiling or laughing the entire time I was reading. I loved it!<\/p>\n
