Yes, Mr. President

"Good morning, Mr. President," she said, stepping forward and offering her hand, "Welcome to the White House."

Bella Swan is a strong willed woman with a take-no-prisoners attitude.  She’s worked her way into the White House with pure talent and determination. It has landed her the job as Press Secretary for America’s new president: Edward Cullen.

Edward Cullen has come from a family of political density. It was just natural that he would one day run for the grandest job in our dear nation.  As a golden child I’m sure it came easy, right? Wrong. At least to the public it looks clean, but we all know that every politician has their dirty family laundry. 

The story seems like it would be simple enough; both in the White House, work closely, have wild monkey sex, fall in love. That’s what I thought before reading. Um, buzzer went off because there happens to be one little problem… Bella hates The President with a royal passion. And I bet the reason will shock you out of your chair the same as it did me.

CourtRose is an Australian author, writing about American politics.  Yeah, made my head tilt too, but I was blown away by her knowledge and dedication to American culture. Yes, Mr. President is told in the third person, which for the most part is hard for me to get into. I never feel an emotional connection to a story not told by the characters POV, but CourtRose does a beautiful job of telling the story in third and yet giving us the in depth view on Edward and Bella’s inner musings.

At just over the ten chapter milestone this story has already set a high standard. I am hooked and checking my inbox regularly for an update.   I know if you give it a chance you will be too.

Will Bella ever win the battle between her heart and hormones? Or will she give in to the inescapable Edward Cullen? At the moment I have no idea, but what I do know is that I will be there to find out.
