Dana Mason
started writing to prove to her computer geek husband and her math &
science geek kids that she actually has a brain; it’s just a right functioning
brain instead of a left. She’s lived all over the country and uses that
experience in her writing and character studies. Her debut novel, Dangerous
Embrace, is the first in a contemporary romance series about a group of friends
from Northern California who learn just how short life can be when you don’t
hold on to what’s important. Second chances don’t come easy…but sometimes
love is worth the risk.When not writing, Dana specializes in professional development and training. She’s also a board member on the local Art's Council and does what she can to support the art community.
As an avid reader and movie watcher, she always requires a happily ever after ending.
This book is the second book in the series (the first being Dangerous Embrace). I read it without reading the first one first and it read fine. That being said, reading the second one made me want to go back and read the first.
I didn't actually expect this novel to be hard to read, but it was. Dana Mason writes a very realistic reaction to the thought of a missing child and the helplessness, insanity, and distress that would come with that.
I have a baby around Micah's age - the aforementioned missing child. I think it helped add an extra realistic punch to the novel.
I like Dana Mason's writing. I don't find her romance overly cliche or trite, which makes it easier to get in to the story.
There was a moment, while two characters are driving, that there seems to be no mention of time passage, but a thirty second conversation puts them somewhere else, which pulled me out of the story. Other than that, I was gripped to the edge of my seat, worried, and wondering.
I may have cried, but no one was up to witness it. If a tear falls and no one sees it, does it still exist? Maybe they're not like forest trees.
Dana Mason writes a very gripping suspense.
