Breaking Point
Sean Hannigan and Tucker Williamson spent six months trying to destroy each other.
Sean is chief of staff to Georgia's newest Democratic senator—sharp, out, and done playing nice after a campaign that got personal. Tucker is chief of staff to the Republican who beat him to it—polished, guarded, and very good at keeping secrets, including the biggest one of all.
When they're forced into the same DC office building, old rivalries should stay exactly where they belong: in the past. But a catastrophic dam failure throws them together, and the careful walls Tucker's spent his whole life building start to crack.
What starts in stolen moments and locked doors becomes something neither of them can walk away from. But politics in Washington runs on leverage—and someone's found exactly the kind of leverage that could end both their careers.
Tucker has spent his life choosing the safe answer. Now he has to choose between hiding forever, or losing everything to finally be free.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book. The beginning of the story gave me West Wing vibes with its fast pace and clipped conversations. After a while though, the inner dialog got to be repetitive, clipped thoughts. Sometimes sentances and thoughts were repeated 2 to 4 times. 3% in, this sentance repeats twice almost in a row: "Like we didn't spend months trying to destroy each other's campaigns." For extreme example, the term "professional distance" is repeated 52 times in the book.
Through the first half of the book, there was hardly any spoken words between characters with so much just being their inner thoughts. Even the times Sean would text with Ava it was short and repetitive.
Overall, I really enjoyed the idea of this book, I just think it could've used some editing to clean it up.
There were alot of inconsistencies. Tucker would be driving home, then next sentance he'd be on an airplane. When Tucker did fly, it was the same information from one flight to the next. [Ex. He had to request a window seat.]
When Tucker was home, he talks about working for Sutton, but when asked if he works for Morrison, he confirms.
Twice Tucker answers calls from unknown numbers and they're from his dad and brother. Why wouldn't he have their numbers in his phone?
When at Tucker's parents house, Dean says "My parents are down the hall-"
