Does time truly heal a broken heart?

Cody thought it had until she walked into the diner like she owned the world and back into his life as if she owned him.

Can betrayal ever be completely forgiven?

Cindy thought it could until she saw him with the bleached blonde. Her Cody!

Separated eighteen years, Cody Wayne Buckmeyer and Cindy think they can put the past behind them and work toward a common goal, a congressional seat . . . but is that possible?

My Thoughts: 

For starters,  I have not read any of the prequels or related titles to this novel.  I have read Cheryl McAdoo before though and love her writing style.  She has a bold style that I’ve not encountered before.  When reading this book you’ll find mentions of God, church, and “mary jane” within the same chapter.

Yes, this book does talk about marijuana use, racing fast cars, and the Vietnam War.  But that’s the time period it’s written in and I found it did not affect my thoughts on the book or author.  I didn’t have a problem reading this book with the above subjects.  

What I did have a problem with is Cody Wayne’s fiance.  I mean come on!  Why would a guy like him fall for a girl like her?  She’s all wrong for him, all wrong.  And of course, Cindy is all right for him.  She knows it, his parents know it, even his little sister comes to see the light.  But how can they convince him? 

I normally don’t read books that center around politics.  It’s not my thing.  I don’t enjoy getting into political debates at all either.  So I’m not going to tell you what voting party I am.  But I am going to say I loved how they were able to be civil with their differences of political views.  Also, I love that Cindy knows, just knows, that Cody is going to make it up the political ladder someday.  She may not agree with the party he represents but he 100% agrees with him running the government.

This fiance, Amy, is quite the character.  Daddy is a banker and she’s used to getting what she wants when she wants it.  Money is more important to her than love.  I feel sorry for her but also just want to tell her how it is too.  She definitely plots her own course.

Great read.  Highly recommend it.  You do not need to read the other books that this goes with before reading this one.  It tells it’s own story without making you feel that you’re missing something.

About the Author of Bipartisan Love

Praying her story gives God glory, award-winning, best-selling author Caryl McAdoo loves revisiting beloved characters in her novels. And her readers are glad she does! She’s blessed that her titles earned over fifty-percent 5-Star ratings and eighty-five to ninety percent 4 & 5-Stars! With forty-four novels (thirty-four in the last four-and-a-half years), it’s obvious she loves writing, but singing the new songs the Lord gives her also rates high. (Listen to a few at YouTube.)

Married to Ron, her high school sweetheart, she counts their four children and eighteen grandsugars life’s best blessings. The McAdoos live in the woods south of Clarksville, seat of Red River County in far Northeast Texas, waiting expectantly for God to open the next door.

More from Caryl

I totally enjoy revisiting characters from previous stories! That’s one reason I love writing ‘Family Sagas” like the Texas Romances that have ten full-length novels and Cross Timbers Romances with two books and counting! The third launches this coming September.

In BIPARTISAN LOVE, we get to spend time again with the Buckmeyers—Travis and Emma Lee from Texas Romance Book Ten CHIEF OF SINNERS. My heart could barely leave these dear people after book ten, so I’ve written a few “Companion Books” (five and counting 😊) that go with the Texas Romance series—either going back to meet ancestors or forward for their descendants or just more stories with the characters you already love.

Readers first met Cody Buckmeyer and his kissing cousin (by marriage) best friend Cynthia Kramer as pre-teens in SON OF PROMISE. In that story, Emma Lee, so longing to be a mom, gets her heart’s desire in Cody, her husband’s son she’s never known about. The two youngsters became fast friends, but Cindy went overseas when LBJ gave her father an ambassadorship.

It’s been eighteen years, and Cody’s engaged to another. After her letters stopped, he gave up all hope. A liberal Democrat, Cynthia comes home after working in Hubert Humphries’ losing bid for the presidency, and wants Cody, a conservative Republican, to run for a Congressional seat with her as his campaign manager!

How’s this supposed to work?
