Michel’s Review

Masquerade is the second prequel novella in the Swept Away series.  This novella is from Jakob Bradley’s POV.  In the previous books and novella in this series, most of the ongoing story is from Bianca’s POV or perceptions.  This novella sheds some light on Jakob’s motivations and how he got from point A to point B.

Jakob has the need to uncover the secrecy of who and what Bianca London is.  He needs to know her ties to his family and the family’s corporation.  He is convinced that Bianca’s family is tied to his mother’s death.  He’s convinced that Bianca is out to destroy the corporation.  His half brother David is under the same assumption. The two come up with a plan to extract all of the information that Bianca has acquired after her father’s death.  They concoct an elaborate plan that involves kidnapping, seduction, and betrayal.

The interesting thing is that Jakob and David each have their own personal motivations.  David is not all he portrays himself to be.  Jakob has his own agenda that may not be true to the Bradley family interests.

There are other players in this game of greed and deception.  Jakob may end up being a victim as well.  Bianca is not the only one trying to seek the truth.  Jakob is not the only one trying to manipulate the truth.

How it all plays out is going to be a surprise to us all.  The next book , Resolution, will release on December 1st, 2015.  I can’t wait.
