Blurb
Hayden Somerset is convinced the ad is a joke, but he responds anyway because, hello, $1.2 million. He’s broke, living in a tiny apartment with two roommates, and exhausted from praying his ancient car survives just one more week. His skyrocketing rent and crushing student loans aren’t helping either. At this point, there isn’t much Hayden wouldn’t do for that kind of cash.
The ad isn’t a joke. Jesse Ambrose is absolutely serious. His father, the charismatic patriarch of a powerful Hollywood dynasty, has his eye on politics, and he’s counting on California’s liberals and progressives to elect him. But Jesse knows what his father believes when cameras and voters aren’t around. As the election looms, he’ll do anything to force the man’s hand and show the public who Isaac Ambrose really is.
Anything, including marrying a stranger so his father will make good on his promise to disown Jesse if he ever takes a husband.
Now he just has to wait for his father to take the bait… and try not to accidentally fall in love with his fake husband.
L.A. Witt is an abnormal M/M romance writer who has finally been released from the purgatorial corn maze of Omaha, Nebraska, and now spends her time on the southwestern coast of Spain. In between wondering how she didn’t lose her mind in Omaha, she explores the country with her husband, several clairvoyant hamsters, and an ever-growing herd of rabid plot bunnies. She also has substantially more time on her hands these days, as she has recruited a small army of mercenaries to search South America for her nemesis, romance author Lauren Gallagher, but don’t tell Lauren. And definitely don’t tell Lori A. Witt or Ann Gallagher. Neither of those twits can keep their mouths shut…

Back in 1983 there was a very popular TV show called '"A-Team" where a group of good guys take down the bad guys. In each episode the lead character says "I love it when a plan comes together."
The Husband Gambit reminds me of that show. In this case, the two main characters, fake husbands Jesse and Hayden, team up to take down Jesse's father, a gubernatorial candidate who hides his homophobia in order to appear 'progressive' and win votes.
Needless to say, Jesse's father's extreme homophobia is revealed in a brilliant way, but not without consequences.
I found myself routing for Jesse and Hayden very early on and becoming angry at the father and the situation he puts his son in.
I would love to say more, but to do so would be to either repeat what was said in the blurb above, or give out spoilers.
I give The Husband Gambit 5 stars and put it in the must read category.
