In Jack Canon's Women of the House, Jack may be settled in the White House as the next president - he has his hands full dealing with how hectic his life suddenly turned out to be. Terrorist attacks, human trafficking, Korea preparing for war, leave him little time to take a break. And then, of course, there are the women of the house. His wife, who he wants to stay faithful to, and his secretary and best friend, Sandy, who is quite obviously head over heels for him. Jack somehow manages to surround himself with pretty women, although they're obviously one of his most obvious flaws.The book feels quite busy at times, and a lot is going on at once. I didn't mind, this kept the pacing high, and kept me thoroughly entertained. I also admire the author for being brave enough to show the `bad' side of presidency too. While one may start out as an idealist, not everyone in the White House and the president's inner circle share the same ideals. Some people are highly ambitive, cunning, sometimes even manipulative, willing to do whatever it takes to get what they desire.The sub-story lines of romance, and Jack's interaction with the women in his life, was entertaining, but I hope that a real president would be professional enough to keep his head in the game, and not out to conquer women's hearts. It seems like Jack definitely wants to succeed, but he may be a bit too extracted to do so. It makes for great, sometimes quite funny, reading though.Overall, another great book by talented author Greg Sandora. His writing is solid, and his characters are each entertaining in their own way. Will there be a third novel in the series? I sure hope so.I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
