A gripping, fast-paced novel of romantic suspense from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Dana Marton.

When wealthy American businessman Glenn Danning goes missing in Venezuela, investigator Miranda Soto volunteers to track him down. It’s her first assignment for the Civilian Personnel Recovery Unit, but this mission is about more than salvaging the remnants of her shattered military career. Glenn was Miranda’s best friend and first lover, and she’ll do anything to save him from danger…especially since she just lost everything that mattered to her.

Glenn barely survived being kidnapped and tortured as a suspected spy, but the shock of seeing Miranda again gives him a new lease on life. Their still-simmering attraction grows hotter as the couple races through the treacherous jungle. Determined to reach safe ground, they must stay alive long enough to stop the terrifying enemy who still hunts Glenn. And even if they survive, Miranda’s dark past could jeopardize their future together…

New Release: DEATHMARCH (Broslin Creek #7)

“I laughed, cried, kept me at the edge of my seat, could not put it down.” Maple River Review /BROSLIN CREEK SERIES

“…one of the best trilogies in epic fantasy I have read in years…” Douglas Meeks, Top 50 Vine Reviewer/HARDSTORM SAGA

“…readers will find it impossible not to care what happens next to Tera. It’s impressively easy to become immersed in Marton’s fantasy world.” Kirkus Review/RELUCTANT CONCUBINE

"Dragon Lord" was stellar... Draknart goes through one of the best redemption arcs for a human-eating hero that I've seen. He really does try, for a superior being forced into a human form, and it's both funny and sweet ...and kinda terrifying, honestly. I love how Dana Marton really hit the note between "omg what" and "ahahaha awww" with exquisite precision.” --Night Owl Reviews/DRAGON LORD

*****

A big fan and follower of the Broslin Creek Series, I was excited with the promise of a slightly grittier, perhaps darker and certainly more 'exotic' version of Dana Marton. Not disappointed!! Not at all.

Forced Disappearance is a story that allows for a slightly different perspective on the familiar, damsel-in-distress and knight-in-shining-armor standard. Don't get me wrong, neither protagonist is a wilting flower by any stretch of the imagination, but there is a distinct difference.

Glenn, despite his brilliance, gives the impression to be rather naive in certain matters. Sure, his will is strong when faced with adversity and he has no problems identifying the danger he is in. But he seems slow to grasp that sometimes the threat can come from a far more familiar direction than questionable Venezualan law enforcement. He has never had reason to doubt loyalties, however, he is a quick study.

Miranda, no longer the nerd she once was, is the opposite. Her outlook on things is much bleaker and with good reason. Her learning curve was much sharper and riddled with pain and trauma. It is what makes her good at what she does. She also has nothing to lose and that detachment is what gives her an edge over her enemies.

The connection they had when they were younger, still seems to exist, but much has happened in the past several years. And even if they find their way to safety, it is questionable wether that mutual attraction is enough to give them another chance.

A strong plot, with some intriguing twists to keep you focused and an exciting dynamic between Miranda and Glenn. I mean that both intellectually and physically!
For lovers of the Romantic Suspense genre, this is certainly a recommended read.

✨A fast-paced, compelling and at times steamy novel!✨

5.0 out of 5 stars Could not put this down!
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2016

As soon as I finished "Flash Fire" I knew I was going to read this one as well. I read this in a day in between working two jobs. I just couldn't put this one down. Glenn is not your typical hero but when you read the story and it unfolds it clear that he has the inner strength of lion. He is intelligent and as an engineer he is something of a McGyver (from the tv show of the same name). He is subjected to torture but he never loses his resolve to give up. Most civilians may have given up when we meet him in the story. Miranda is quite a complex character and she has a dark secret that keeps her from forgiving herself for an incident that happened to her recently before being dishonorably discharged from the Army. Miranda and Glenn knew each other in college but they were different people back then. They hadn't seen each other in 10 years and when they meet again the sparks fly, both good and bad. The story was taut and heartbreaking with some comic relief thrown in. The book as a page turner from start to finish and I had tears at the end. Both had come through so much only to find love again albeit a rocky road filled with twists and turns and just when you thought they were safe, something else happens! I hope, hope, hope, that there will be more about the group that Miranda works for, the Civilian Personnel Recovery Unit. You have a new fan Ms. Marton!

3.0 out of 5 stars A SWEETLY NICE ENDING STORY
Reviewed in Italy on March 15, 2016

It's definitely a thriller - at times gripping - filled with lots of romance! In fact, many pages are about a very steamy romance in details depicted. So if you really dislike romance I wouldn't suggest its reading. Otherwise, it's well entertaining and never boring and even though I'm not particularly keen to reading romance's books, I enjoyed its reading. The plot flows well although at times I've founded too simplistic and therefore a little week. But I guess that's the purpose of the author, that is to deliver a story which - after all - has a very nice and reassuring ending to it. The bads versus the goods… and the outcome easily ends up in favor to the latter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic. Riveting from start to finish
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 18, 2014

Just finished another excellent book by Dana Marton. Set in Venezuela this fast paced suspense novel had it all. Miranda Soto is a strong heroine with kick ass skills yet the more we get to know her the more we see how vulnerable and damaged she is. The hero Glen is yummy but has a background as an engineering nerd.

I loved that for a change the woman is the one who is sent in to carry out a rescue mission and has the greater skills. The other great feature of the story is how they use gallows humour to get through their ordeal rather than the often used serious baring of souls. We do still get that but the added wit in certain situations really added to the enjoyment of the story.

The only downside to this book is that I finished it and do not know if there will be another one in the series soon.

This is Dana Marton’s first romantic suspense with Montake Romance, an Amazon Publishing imprint. As a full-length novel, it grabbed me right from page one and kept me turning pages late into the night.

I was instantly drawn to the hero, Glenn Danning, with his sarcasm and easy-going nature. He’s a multi-millionaire, but he acts anything but. Originally an engineer, he’s taken over his father’s company as CEO and is working for better alternatives in the oil empire, but right away, things have gone wrong and he’s arrested in Venezuela just after meeting with some businessmen.

Enter Miranda Soto, who has just taken a job in Personal Recovery, an agency determined to bring back American citizens who have disappeared internationally, and Glenn’s ex. I thoroughly enjoyed reading a woman as the Alpha in a romance. With her military training, her intelligence, and independence, she really ruled the entire book for me.

I was a little put off that these characters don’t actually get together on the page until about 28% through the book, but Glenn’s obvious distrust and hatred toward Miranda because of their history quickly buried my disappointment. The tension between these two is heavy in the air, almost taking physical form. I found myself getting antsy during their heated discussions and the action scenes had me gripping my chair. Not kidding.

The drawback of getting the couple on the page so late, however, is Glenn is suddenly ready to give Miranda another chance very quickly. He asks her, “How do you feel about giving a try to figuring things out once we’re back in D.C.?” (Page 108) just 44 pages later. The tension from then on out is not with Glenn’s undeniable distrust of Miranda, but our heroine’s own issues of commitment.

And there are many.

For a woman to go through losing her husband in war, losing her only child to kidnapping, having to kill a man, and not being wanted in Glenn’s family, Miranda Soto has a pretty straight head. I almost find it too hard to believe she’s so level-headed with such a violent history and feel that the author threw the kitchen sink at this poor woman.

However, there are far more interesting and romantic threads in this story. I was able to connect with the characters immediately, and the further I read, the more I believed the couple would make it through their situation, no matter the odds.

Four stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Action, retrieval and escape in Venezuela - start to a new series from Dana Marton
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 21, 2016

I enjoyed this action story and Dana Marton writes great depth in her characters. There was a well balanced mix of regret and desire with the rekindling of long suppressed feelings. We meet Miranda who sets out to retrieve Glenn, a businessman that's gone missing in Venezuela.

Miranda is ex-Army having left under unknown circumstances. She's just started at the Civilian Personnel Recovery Unit when she has to head in with no backup or support to recover what she thinks is the body of Glenn, her former lover from college that she hasn't seen in years and left suddenly. Nothing is as simple as it seems as it turns out there's the possibility that Glenn was a forced disappearance by Government agencies. There's lots of action as two people who don't know who to trust (including each other) or where to turn, try to get out of danger and reach safety.

This was a fairly good start to this new series from Dana Marton. I really love her style of writing and depth of characters that she developed in the Broslin Creek series. There was some predictability with the use of conspiracies, shady cover ups and the final twist, however the connection and bond between these two lifted it.
