Perception

Seduction #2

by C.L. Bluestein

What could go wrong living in a perfect world?

Meet Octavius, leader of a global cartel and owner/CEO of Tavius Global Enterprises, who has solved the ever-present worker retention problem. He supplies an all-inclusive work-play-live environment that appears to meet all his employees' needs. Once he gets a vital piece of tech support, he’ll offer his solution to companies worldwide.

Enter Christopher Gregory, wealthy software mogul, and Rachel Allen, human rights author. Chris owns the tech Octavius needs, and Rachel sees the flaw in Octavius’s perfect community. Their obstruction to Tavius Global’s expansion plans puts them in lethal danger.

Meanwhile, FBI special agents Beth Neilson and Eric Jarrod, Missing Persons Division, are tracking down a missing Tavius Global employee family. They’re working for U.S. President Dani Mitchell to undermine Octavius’s opposition to Mitchell’s environmental agenda.

Whether survival is in Kryller, Missouri, Chicago, Illinois, or an island off the Alaskan coast, nothing is as it seems. Still, our heroes Rachel, Chris, Beth, Eric, and US President Dani Mitchell persist in an international cat-and-mouse game that threatens their lives at every turn.

This the second book in the Love, Loss, Leverage, Murder series. You have to listen to this series in order for a better enjoyment. Rachel is an amazing character, strong, and smart. Chris is handsome, supportive, and protective. The supporting characters are intriguing. The storyline is interesting and captivating. I liked the mystery, the action, and the suspense. Christa Lewis did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listening to Isolation the next book in the series to know what happens next.

Loved the narration of Christa Lewis

Even though this book is separate story from book one. The characters and part of the story carry forward into this great listen.

We have a 1937 diary from written by a 14 year old girl, that shows the history of a very old family and family connections. We have diamond mines, hit men, art gallery, love

Loved listening to this book

Some typos, but all in all a fast-moving book with an interesting plot -- maybe too many plots to handle at once.

A chillingly close look at how a cartel wants world domination. Greed, power, corruption and the machinations of those involved.
Fiction flirting close to the truth!? An enjoyable read
