Liked it! I really love this series, even though a couple of them have been misses. This one was a great installment, although the bdsm aspect is a little weird. there was also another really important part that wasn't explored fully and that was disappointing. But sweet and mostly satisfying.

EDIT: After sleeping on this one I had to take a star away. I did enjoy the book - the characters were good and the relationship was satisfying. But everything else about it was just so clumsily wrought tha...more

I’m so addicted to the Men of Holsum College series by Daisy Harris. I’ve loved every one of these books and anxiously wait to read the next book in the series. Ms. Harris writes characters that live and breathe off of the written page and I adore every one of them!

3 ½ stars. It was pretty good, above average. It kept my interest.

This is different due to Hunter’s personality. His family is politically powerful. His uncle is running for Vice Pres of U.S. and wants the gay vote so he hired Hunter to appear with him during the campaign. Hunter is used to people accommodating him. He is gorgeous, arrogant, rude, and smirking. He’s never had a loving or caring romance. He’s used to quick hookups at gay bars or through the internet.

Hunter Ford comes from a well known and privileged family with a lot of political ties. He goes through his life taking and getting whatever he wants; his cocky persona oozing entitlement. When his uncle begins his campaign for vice-president, he tasks Hunter with coming along to be the face behind his “gay-friendly” tactic. It’s about the last thing Hunter wants to do, but the pay-off of $500,000 was too good to p...more

Hunter Ford is spoiled, entitled and a general pain in the ass to people who know him. Unfortunately, along with the family money comes certain responsibility and that is how we find Hunter in this tale; being dragged along as the gay nephew of a senator on his re-election tour. Hunter has always been a bit of a wild-child and this, along with his general distain for his Uncle, means he is a complete liability and must be looked after. This is why Steve is hired as his “image consultant” and general watcher.

Steve has experience in being an image consultant but not in dealing with someone as attractive, or arrogant, as Hunter. Hunter seems determined to put sex before anything else; can Steve really stop him from destroying the campaign? When Steve sees just how Hunter is treated by his Uncle, he starts to question why Hunter agreed to be part of the circus. Then Hunter starts to show him the strain and emotional pressure that being around people in Politics puts on him and Steve realises that maybe there is more to this story than meets the eye.

When the attraction between them flares into full blown lust, the two hit the sheets in a fashion which shakes Steve’s beliefs about his sexuality. Can he change everything he took for granted to be the man who can protect and care for a man such as Hunter? And will Hunter allow him close enough to be what he needs.

I’ve been waiting for Hunter Ford’s book for a while. The man has been so dislikeable in every book in which he has appeared, a moral-less slut who has caused much grief to our previous couples. At first glance, he is still the same guy at the start of this book. Then we see how his homophobic Uncle treats him when he uses him to gain a “gay-friendly” stand-point and I realised how any layers of protection someone would have to build up to get through something like that. The distain that he shows for his nephew is astonishing; I fricking hated that git. I started to pity Hunter but that isn’t quite a standpoint I normally like to see one of the hero’s from.

Then along came Steve. Steve is a nice guy, usually in control who likes taking care of other people. He looked after his deaf sister after their parents died and has took on a career of looking after people in a fashion. At first, Hunter is a complete annoyance to him. Then the cracks start to appear in his armour of ice and we start to see the real Hunter. This is the Hunter that would have been around all the time if it wasn’t for his treatment at the hands of his family. This is the Hunter that only Steve is allowed to see and I loved him for bringing it out. Hunter has hard edges but Steve softened them, yielding to his demands and allowing him to be the man he was. I adored Steve.

This is a Daisy Harris book.... there is lots of man-lovin’. It had an edge of Dominance that I loved but the whole thing was just so sweet. Yes, it was hot as hell but the sex was all about Steve accepting who he needed to be for Hunter and for Hunter to allow someone close enough to love him. Seriously, they were absolutely adorable.

The Holsum college series is about love and this one certainly fits the brief. I adored the two of them together and was completely invested in their story. It’s a tale of love, redemption and sex....perfect reading material J(less)

Pride and Politics is the sixth installment of Daisy Harris’s Men of Holsum College and to date my favorite of all the series. Previously we met spoiled, egocentric Hunter Ford as he exploited his societal position and the men he screwed. But what appears on the outside is not always the reality of who a person is; thus the case with Hunter.

As Hunter travels the campaign trail with his uncle, the Vice-Presidential candidate, Steve Camden is hired to be his image consultant, and quite frankly, ke...more

The highly anticipated story of Hunter Ford. I’ve patiently waited for Hunter to get his story and I must say Daisy Harris did not disappoint. In the 6th installment of the series readers get to see how bad boy Hunter Ford finally gets himself together and obtains the man of his dreams.

One of the best in the series. Hunter is the most challenging of villain types to redeem. He is not the charming, heartbreaking rogue or the leatherjacketed bad boy. His casual snobbery and indifferent cruelty barely mask a coldness and emptiness that seem innate. As a background character in previous books, we need not look him full in the face and wonder why--we can just mark him down as "the asshole." But Pride and Politics is his story.

I’m a big fan of Daisy Harris. Unfortunately, this was my least favorite in the Men of Holsum College series. I had trouble connecting with the characters on a consistent basis throughout the book. The flow of the story felt disjointed and I kept getting knocked out it. I had to make a conscious effort to adjust my thinking and keep up, which has never happened for me with a Daisy Harris book.

If you’re familiar with the series you’ll already know Hunter Ford. I’ve always thought of him as being conceited and cocky, basically he’s an arrogant prick. Transforming a character I actively dislike into someone I can connect with is a huge obstacle for an author to overcome. Harris did it though, she exposed a vulnerable side of him that has never been seen before. I started to understand him and actually began to empathize with him.

I was a fan of Steve’s the minute I met him. He’s a great guy. He stood up to Hunter and had all the nice guy qualities Hunter was lacking. He had his priorities in life figured out and wasn’t going to allow a cocky kid (a.k.a. Hunter) to screw it up. As Hunter and Steve grew closer, Steve really won me over by standing up for Hunter when he couldn’t do it for himself.

I was never pulled in by the two of them together. I saw they were good for each other but it always felt more like a HFN (happy for now) type of romance. As their relationship developed, the dynamics of the relationship changed. Steve became very submissive to Hunter and Hunter once again became that cold and untouchable guy I didn’t like. It seemed to work for them but I couldn’t make the transition with them on an emotional level. I felt very disconnected from both Hunter and Steve once they took the turn into a more dominant/submissive relationship.

This was a strange book for me. I really liked the first part of the book but once the relationship changed, I couldn’t go with it. I always have problems with books requiring me to understand characters craving a D/s relationship and I’m sure that’s what caused me to lose interest halfway through. Whatever the cause, my lack of connection with the characters made this just an average book for me.(less)

I'll admit I started this book not so excited. I first read about Hunter in THE PLAYER AND THE PRUDE and he was a complete a-hole. Even though he was the reason those two guys got together, he was also the reason why they almost broke apart. Then in BOSSY AND THE BRAT he was the guy using Tyler for sex and dissing him the rest of the time as if he didn't even know him. So I had no love for Hunter going into this book.

He was not only a man-whore, but he was cocky, dismissive, and sometimes even downright mean to the men he hooked up with. I'm happy to say that we see an entirely new side to Hunter in this book and we learn a lot about what makes him tick.

As we already knew, Hunter is part of a very politically connected family. Now, he has been tapped to take part in his uncle's vice-presidential campaign, serving as the token gay family member. He's getting a huge payoff for the gig, but just to be sure he stays on the straight and narrow, his uncle has hired Steve to serve as his image consultant --and generally as his wrangler.

Steve has no intention of doing anything more than his job when it comes to Hunter. But it quickly becomes apparent that there is more to Hunter than the arrogant ass he projects. In fact, the more Steve sees of Hunter's vulnerabilities, the more he allows his feelings for him to grow. The story follows the development of their relationship and the impact it has on Hunter as a person.

I really enjoyed the first half. I liked getting a behind the scenes look at Hunter and the dynamics of his family and his past. I liked Steve and his steady influence --and as always, Daisy Harris is great with the sex and the sexual tension.

I did have some significant problems, though. First of all, I felt like Steve's decision to indulge with Hunter was very abrupt. It was no, no, no --and then yes really fast. I know what the impetus was, but I think I would have liked more time inside Steve's head as he changed his mind. This bothered me, but not nearly as much as the sudden introduction of BDSM into the relationship. I felt like it came out of nowhere. Yes, Hunter is bossy and kind of supernova, but it seemed like he appreciated the different dynamic he had with Steve at the beginning of their relationship. And Steve surely gave me no inclination he might like to be a sub. He's never even bottomed before.

Maybe it's just that the whole dom/sub thing is not my bag, but I really didn't get a whiff of this between these two until *BAM* Steve is gagged with a tie and shoving his ass in the air in the limousine. I didn't like this development and it was made worse for me because I didn't see it coming.

This is book six in the Men of Holsum College series --and we've seen Hunter before-- but this would work easily as a standalone.

Hunter's story is finally here and let me tell you, he's someone very different from the man we've had a chance to meet in two previous books.

This time the story steps away from the confines of the campus and follows Hunter's uncle on his vice-presidential campaign. As an openly gay man in an influential family, it's Hunter's job to present the best picture of his uncle, a man who voted against gay marriage and who needs all the votes he can get. His relationship with his family is anything but casual, and the pressure of never showing vulnerability led Hunter to a mistake that attracted the negative side of the media.

As a result he is given a handler, Steve, whose job is to keep Hunter in line and make sure he avoids any type of bad publicity.

At first they can't stand each other. Steve is everything Hunter is not, both visually as well as when it comes to upbringing, and he doesn't handle Hunter's coldness all that well. But as the pressure on Hunter increases, his shields and icy exterior starts to crack, and suddenly there is no one he trusts more than Steve to be there for him.

While the setting is different, this story has the same charm as the rest of the series. The men are hot, what they get on to in bed is sexy and the story is interesting enough to keep you engaged. I actually thought this one was a bit more interesting plot-wise, simply because it's not every day that we read about the little details related to politics.

What didn't work for me was the relationship. It started off good, two opposites, a lot of baggage and mutual attraction no matter how much they denied it. What I didn't feel was the flip from mutual dislike to enough trust to begin something substantial. There was also another flip that happened later on, that really made no sense to me and while I liked this story, I didn't really connect with it.

So here you have it, book six in Men of Holsum College series. It has something new, plenty of old and if you've met Hunter in previous books, you will definitely want to see him in the new light. But mind you, don't just disregard Steve, there is a hunk hiding behind that serious exterior. You might want to meet him.(less)

I admit when I started reading this book I wondered if I’d like Hunter. He plays a secondary character in the previous book, Bossy and the Brat, and I honestly didn’t like him at all. At first glance, Hunter is a cold, arrogant man who didn’t seem to care about anyone else but himself. As I continued to read this book, I realized that there is much more to Hunter than meets the eye. He’s almost crippled by his family’s expectations of him; so much so, he’s had to put his own desires and dreams on hold. There are many, many layers to his personality and I enjoyed seeing the man he really is, beneath the cold exterior. In the end, he ended up being a likeable, honorable man who I thought was worthy of someone like Steve’s love.

Steve…what I can say about him? He’s truly a down to earth, amazing man. He has a job to do and when he first met Hunter, they immediately do not like one another. As an image consultant, keeping Hunter under control isn’t an easy job for him to do. But as much as he doesn’t want to do this job at all, he must because he is responsible for his sister’s welfare. Surprisingly, as he reluctantly starts to get to know Hunter, he begins to see the man Hunter really is inside. As a bond starts or form between them, both men begin to realize that what they have together is truly something special and they must fight to be together.

Although I really liked this book a lot, it wasn’t my favorite in the series. It took me a while to warm up to Hunter, but once I did I really began to enjoy the story. There is also a surprising BDSM aspect to their relationship that caught me off guard, but I ended up enjoying it as well. I’m looking forward to reading many more books by Ms. Harris. Fans of her Men of Holsum series will definitely enjoy this book, just like her others so I definitely recommend it.

Pride and Politics is the sixth book in the Men of Holsum College series. Although it could probably be read as a stand-alone book, I highly recommend reading the books in series order. This way you can truly understand the dynamics between all of the characters and fall in love with each and every one of them!(less)

4.5 rounded up
Ahh, Hunter. He has always been such a bastard, careless to nearly the point of cruelty (sometimes crossing that line), and always giving off the vibe of being better than anyone else. In the last book (Bossy and the Brat) he was so horribly cavalier to the sweet Tyler that I really started to hate him, and then just a little bit of vulnerability, maybe the real Hunter, showed through during a stressful, near bashing, and then I couldn’t wait to see what happened. I was a bit worried, because how would Ms. Harris be able to transform such an arrogant soul, for lack of a better word, into someone we can care about?

The answer, of course, is that she didn’t, because she didn’t have to. Hunter’s arrogance, his shell, well, let’s just say it was earned. With the family he has, he needs that outward aloofness to protect himself. And if others get hurt in the process, well, that wasn’t his intention.

When Hunter’s uncle, a governor, is nominated for Vice-President, the whole family is required to support it. Even Hunter, who has had a horrific experience because of his uncle in the past. Since dear uncle has a history of voting on the wrong side of the gay marriage issue, they will bring gay nephew along on the campaign trail as proof that the governor is not anti-gay. Hunter will get paid for it and his allowance will continue.

Enter Steven, who is brought in as Hunter’s handler, his babysitter even. Hunter is pissed that he has to have a handler. Steven needs the money to send his sister to college and he’s not happy to have to deal with a spoiled Hunter. What is lovely about it all is watching the progression of their mutual dislike, to grudging respect, to love. It’s not instantaneous by any means, and Steven has to really work to break down those walls Hunter has erected. There is a scene when Steven has to take a message from his sister and steps out. Hunter believes Steven left, and he’s devastated. This was a point that I realized, I really feel for Hunter.

There is a BDSM aspect to the story that I didn’t see coming, and it wasn’t my favorite angle for the two of them, but it didn’t detract for me. Hunter’s uncle’s hiring of Jed was loathsome and disgusting, and I felt for Hunter all that much more. I was pulling for him to stand up to his family, and in a scene where he does, I wanted to clap. His phone calls as well, those had to be so difficult for him yet he does them. Shows the inner Hunter, and he’s lovely. The two together show emotions only to each other that they would never share with anyone else, and that is a great thing to get to read.

This is a great installment in the Holsum College saga, and it doesn’t even take place on the campus! I really like these guys, and I hope the series continues on.

It was nice to see Hunter evolve into something resembling a human being. I also especially appreciated getting to see him apologize to the other characters I'd loved and to whom he'd been an ass.

The reason I can't give this more stars is because I'm still so conflicted about the changes we saw in Steve throughout the book. One of the things I've loved about this series is that all of the characters are better men at the end of their books than they were at the beginning. They're either kinder to themselves, more honest with themselves, braver, more able to love, or more open. We even saw that in Hunter. (view spoiler)

Ugh. I'm obsessing. And not explaining this well. To sum up: I loved the first half, loved the transformation we saw in Hunter. Didn't like the last bit so much, and the transformation I seemed to see in Steve made me sad.(less)

When I heard Ms. Harris was making a hero out of Hunter Ford I truly wondered how she would make someone who was so unlikable in the previous books into someone a reader could root for. I don't wonder any more. She did a great job making Hunter human and giving him good reasons for his past behaviors. By the end I loved Hunter as much as I've loved many of Ms. Harris' other heroes.
