I recommend Those Who Wait to anyone interested in lesbian romance and in reading about how a queer politician’s relationship decisions can affect both their career and their own well-being. This book does an excellent job portraying some of the behind-the-scenes in politics and the fear LGBTQ+ politicians may feel when deciding whether or not to come out publicly. Charlotte struggles with her growing romantic feelings towards Sutton against her need to keep her private life a secret and guard her heart. Throughout the story, Charlotte is running for a vacant seat in the US House of Representatives against an older, female conservative candidate and feels she has to keep her sexuality hidden in order to win the election. The story follows Sutton Spencer, a literature graduate student and newly-out bisexual in her mid-twenties, and her relationship with twenty-eight-year-old Charlotte Thompson, a lesbian, who has aspirations of following her grandmother (who in this alternate U.S., was the first female president) into politics. And she could have never predicted just how much she wants them to.Those Who Wait is a lesbian adult romance novel independently written and published by Haley Cass.

But as the months slip by, bringing her closer to both Hannah and her adorable daughter Abbie, the lines between attorney and client begin to blur. While being hired by Hannah throws her for a loop, winning a divorce case and sticking it to her ex-colleague should be enough of a thrill. After all, though Hannah is probably the most gorgeous woman she's ever seen, she's also straight. When she runs into Hannah Dalton on Christmas Eve, she has no reason to believe her luck will change. And third, Christmas only brings her bad luck-being broken up with not once, not twice, but three times during the holidays is proof enough of that.

Second, given how terrible her romantic track record is, falling in love isn't in the cards for her. First, she is going to be Boston's most sought after divorce attorney by thirty-five.

Caroline Parker knows three things to be true.
