The Assignment by Don Chance is an extremely captivating story that introduces us to CJ McCarter, an economist, who is the president Ryson-Scott University. Although CJ is extremely successful with her professional life, she begins to experience problems at home with her marriage. In order to get the derailed relationship back on track, CJ comes up with a plan to seduce her husband, Trey.

Trey, is extremely involved with his work as a biochemist, but there may also be another reason why try is always working. During CJ’s attempts to seduce her husband, the feelings are not reciprocated and CJ begins to feel that the unwillingness has something to do with the attractive graduate student that Trey is working with.

While neither CJ nor Trey wants to broach the subject of a marriage that is no longer stimulating, CJ throws herself into her work. She begins to develop a program that could be a great addition to the university, but an impulsive decision comes back to haunt her. As her personal life and professional life begin to mix, CJ is faced with an ethical dilemma that could really cause detriment to her reputation.

The Assignment by Don Chance cleverly weaves subplots of well-developed characters to produce a story that has predicaments occurring at the highest levels. Full of deception, seduction, blackmail and faculty misbehavior, the novel also does a great job of showing, realistically, the dedication and professionalism of academics that is often ignored. The character development, crisp language, quickly moving plot, third person writing and details regarding the operations of the modern university is exceptional.

The book was professionally edited, and I decided to give it a rating of 4 out of 4 stars; the writing and plot were great and the novel leaves the possibility for a sequel.

I would recommend this book to readers wanting an exciting story full of drama and power in an American university setting. I would not recommend this book to young readers as it contains profanity, violence, and sexual scenes.
