Seduction Series, Book 1

By: C.L. Bluestein

Narrated by: Christa Lewis

Seduction: Is it okay to take the law into your own hands?

Can a good person commit heinous acts?

Meet Ted X. Donovan - rich, well-connected, driven - a one-man wrecking ball.

Enter Rachel Allen, the unwary prey in Ted Donovan’s cat-and-mouse game. After struggling to recover from a vicious attack, can she rise above her fears to face and survive this new, even more malicious assailant?

Against the backdrop of worldwide unrest, a ruthless international cartel controls the global economy by whatever means necessary, whether it means blackmailing the US president, employing elite assassination teams, or destroying an African government. No one is beyond their reach — not Ted Donovan, philanthropist and vigilante; U.S. President Franklin Sandford; or Rachel Allen, reclusive writer with PTSD. Despite everyone’s good intentions, a lurking evil sucks them into a web of international intrigue with deadly consequences.

From the streets of Harlem, Paris, and Africa to the White House and the NYS Appalachians, follow our heroes as they fight for life, love, and country, or die trying.

Their journey begs the question: How can doing the right thing be so wrong?

Haunting dark secrets and consequences

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. Wonderfully narrated by Christa Lewis, Seduction is beautifully morally complex and smartly intense story that allows you to ponder that if carefully and quietly ridding the world of those preventing the world from being a better place... is it the right thing to do? This is what Ted Donovan does through his Praise Foundation: while the world sees it as aiding the world to become better; behind the scenes Ted and this team silence those corrupt and others that have gray complex. Ted Donovan also has an uncanny habit of being at the right places and time to rescue women during assaults as happens to a woman named Rachel. Altered by that harrowing experience, she and Ted's worlds collide as Donovan's dark secret project is coming to light and Rachel finds herself aiding the FBI to bring Ted's worlds crashing down.


Highly recommended.

Entertaining!

This was my first CL Bluestein‘s book, and won’t be my last. This is the first book in the Love, Loss, Leverage, Murder series. I liked the characters, the mystery, suspense, and romance. Rachel and Chris are great characters. The supporting characters are intriguing. The plot is well crafted and captivating, filled with twists and turns. This is a great introduction to the series. Looking forward to listening to Perception the next book in the series to know what happens next.

A political story with a twist

Narrator does an excellent job with regards to her voice.
Inflection and tone was spot on.
The story line is a political thriller involving Rachel and Chris
At the beginning trauma strikes Rachel.
The problem I have with story is that it is never explained why that trauma was part of story.
Otter than that story line was fairly good.
