Jack Canon's American Destiny really gives you an inside look into Politics and Elections. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes and I can see why so much corruption happens in our real world Offices. I loved the whole premise behind this book and Jack Canon is just a phenomenal character.In the beginning Jack's told he can't run this year because they are giving someone else one last chance, but Jack says Hell No to that and plans his campaign anyway. Good for him!I loved the first half of the book the most, it moved right along keeping you engaged and learning as you went. You could really connect with the characters and it was great getting to know them. I actually really like Bud, he seems like a force to be reckoned with, making me laugh a few times too.I love the relationship between Jack and his wife, it's beautiful, and then we bring Sandy into the picture. There's a sexual tension there and you're just not sure where it's going to go.Okay, into the guts of the story...Truth is that sometimes I found myself getting lost in the chapters, having to re-read them to figure out what was going on.BUT...I think there was a lot of backstory in this first installment which at times really bogs the story down, but at the same time, in order to get the full picture, it was needed. When there's a lot of backstory you tend to lose  your voice in all the commotion, and it seemed like the author's voice changed from the first half to the second half.Not a bad thing though...It was a very well written novel, really getting to the down and dirty of Polotics and I LOVE that! The characters were all well developed and you could see this story playing through your mind like a movie, and I LOVE that too. There was romance in addition and some sexual tension that leaves you wondering where the heck it's going to go and I LOVE that too. So there are three "Love's" that draws me into this story and I am definitely going to read the next installment, Lady of the House. I think this book would make a great movie, and I recommend you give it a chance. It's not just politics, but a great premise to an excellent series.I think we may see Jack Canon's American Destiny in lights someday!
