Peyton Arthur is 18 years old and her mother is running for Vice President. He father died a few years earlier. He was an author and his last book was about his life and had a focus on Peyton. So Peyton is dealing with being a celebrity of sorts because of the book and her mom’s campaign. While doing some interviews to help her mom’s campaign Peyton is surprised with a new story about how her dad isn't her biological father. The reporter mentions how she has red hair while no one in her family does. Red Blooded follows the mystery of her dad, a romance with campaign intern Dylan, and the politics of running for VP.
My absolute favorite pieces of the book were the little excerpts from the book Peyton’s dad wrote when he was dying. If one of my parent’s were dying and they had time to do something like that, even without being a professional author and having the book published, I would love having that. It’s not a huge part of the book but it was my favorite all the same.
Another part I liked was the buildup of Peyton and Dylan’s relationship in the beginning. It showed moments where we get to know what they have in common and how they compliment each other. The buildup was slow until it was all of a sudden I really like and and then sex. I felt like they skipped a step even with the relationship for the media’s sake. We don't get to see that much so it seemed to be a bigger jump then there should have been. Regardless I enjoyed them together.
The mystery of her birth dad was interesting. I didn't know where it was going with it until right before and then I just knew. Other books have had plot points like this and Red Blooded did it in a way I haven't read a lot in book so that was nice.
I think my main issue was the politics. Politics and politicians are just not something I am interested in. And Dylan not my ideal book boyfriend because he is way too into campaigning and politics. Because of that I don't understand the interest in a politician’s kid, even if they are the subject of a famous author’s book. Regardless of my dislike of politics I enjoyed this book and could not put it down. Unfortunately the ending was really abrupt and I wanted more. It didn't feel complete to me. Maybe there could be another book? Or a novella because I was not done with Peyton and Dylan.
