Excerpt
Despite the heartbreak he caused me, the feelings I had for him have never completely disappeared. Reduced, definitely, but they’re still there. A first love leaves a special imprint on one’s heart. There was so much good with us, but also so much bad, and Brayden left me with a view that love will always be tainted. The L word is now a dirty word and something I’m incapable of. Serious relationships are non-existent in my life. He made sure he destroyed them for me, just like he shattered my happiness.
Relaxing into my pillows and releasing a breath, I try to calm my racing heart. Closing my eyes, I silently hope and pray that I will sleep better for the rest of the night. As I begin to settle in, a strange sensation prickles over my already clammy skin.
Someone’s watching me.
My eyes open slightly and move to a dark silhouette standing in my doorway. Panic begins to take over, and my machines beep crazily once again. Fumbling for my buzzer, I know I need a nurse, but as I hold the device in my hands my eyes catch the doorway, and the silhouette is gone.
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
Damn this woman. It's as though she can read me like an open book. It must be those magical therapist powers they have.
Damn these short world problems. I'm trying to make a point, but he's not intimidated by me.
I think I just died and went to shoe heaven. I might come across as a simple girl who only needs simple things, but shoes are in a different world altogether. Shoes are like diamonds, a girl's best friend.
My Review:
Dangerous Love was a quick, easy to follow, and satisfying read. Written for a single point of view, the narrative generally followed a woman's inner voice as she struggles with herself after her first love suddenly reappears in her life. Additional drama unfolds when she discovers the identity of her biological parents after being raised in the foster system, with even more surprises and revelations to come. The plot was interesting and intriguing, and the storyline held my attention and contained occasional hits of welcome humor to offset the drama, tension, and angst.
