On the job scene, Jasmine is the director of a pharmaceutical research team.   Her team has been tasked to create a female sexual enhancement drug and Jasmine is too excited, but they need another chemist.  The new addition to the team, Travis Adams, is equally as brilliant and quite handsome.  Jasmine does not like mixing work with play, but her penchant for younger men ignites a sizzling affair that has the potential for dangerous consequences; Travis preys on cougars. 

The team creates a prototype, but it gets shelved because of its fatal side effects.  Travis, who has always envisioned the notoriety of Albert Einstein, becomes impatient.  As his entanglement with Jasmine becomes jaded, his ambitious dream manifests itself.  Travis secretly keeps experimenting until he creates a new and improved formula that hits the black market, but the drug has not been fully tested.  It produces a lethal impact; a politician dies, a criminal investigation is launched, and Travis disappears.  With incriminating evidence pointing to her, Jasmine finds herself waist-deep in the fallout.

COUGARS is a different twist to an intriguing story of sex, drugs, double-cross, and betrayal.  I found the characters engaging, and although their actions were risky, they were believable.  Their motives helped readers visualize some of the potent scenes.   Sewell candidly shares the flip side of the player's game, which makes for a good plot, a plausible story and a thought provoking read.  This one had me shaking my head.
