    About this ebook

    Elaine Stalker, newly elected MP, has worked hard for her election to Westminster. But the unequivocally masculine atmosphere of the House of Commons is a hostile environment for an attractive, ambitious woman and Elaine is frustrated when her talents are ignored. Relishing his powerful role as wheeler-dealer, whip Roger Dickson provides a sympathetic ear for Elaine. At first their relationship is strictly professional; but a shared passion for politics proves an aphrodisiac and late-night sittings offer ample opportunities for discussions of a more private nature...

      It is not disparaging of Prince Philip, who has died aged 99, to say he was always a walk-on part in the pantomime of monarchy. It was a part in which he was a star. Plucked from the ranks of lesser European royalty as the “suitable” husband for a qu

      This is one of the few books in my library that I have not finished: I bought it at a CNA sale many years ago, when Edwina was notorious for having had an affaire with John Major, expecting an inexpensive bonkbuster with a smidgeon of insider political scandal. I never got more than a quarter of the way in: the characters were unsympathetic, but I can live with that. What I could not forgive was that the book was boring. It's still stuck away up there in my chickfic section and maybe, one day, when I am desperate and the rest of my books have been ruined by damp or fire, I shall actually read the whole book.
