A CONFLICT OF INTEREST by Barbara Dunlop

A Conflict of Interest, Barbara Dunlop's book is set in modern times. The storyline could be happening today. The story revolves around the newly elected President of the United States, his staff and a secret that is revealed at one of his election dinners.

The one item that really caught my attention was that Cass Cranshaw is from Wisconsin. Since I live in Wisconsin, it kept me interested in this character. She is one of the PR people for the president and she is trying not to get involved with TV talk show host Max Gray who will do anything to get a story.

Barbara Dunlop's writing is great. She gets you hooked from the start and you keep reading because you want to find out what happens with these character's lives. The only thing that I didn't care for is one of the story lines was not answered by the end of the book. I really would have liked to find out if this story line had a good or bad ending. Perhaps she is writing another book that will answer these remaining questions.

Cass and Max have their up and downs in first trying to stay away from each other and then trying to stay together. Will they succeed? We also meet Cass's sister Gillian who owns her own business and butts into Cass's relationship. However, she does this to help her sister, not hurt her. We also meet Jake, he is Max's photographer who gets duped into helping Gillian with her antics in trying to help Cass and Max.

Barbara does introduce several other characters in this book. But we only learn a little bit about them and not much more. I would have liked to have a little more knowledge of these characters. Again, maybe Barbara is writing a sequel to this book. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I would read another oneof Ms. Dunlop's books, without hesitation.

Book Summary

She tried to stay away from him….

More than once, White House PR specialist Cara Cranshaw has considered that reporter Max Gray might want her only because he can't have her. Given their work, a relationship is dicey—and impossible now that the president has taken office.

For Max, their relationship may be a lark, a fling—maybe she's just another woman in the long line that forms a part of his bachelor lifestyle. But for her, what they have is different. She's all but given him her heart. And now she is having his baby.
