Divorcing at fifty and starting over in Virginia is far from being the hardest challenge in Dawn’s life. Overcoming the loneliness and feelings for her ex would prove even more difficult. One night, over too much wine, her friend Cindy fills out a profile for the online dating site, MrPerfect.com for her. It’s not long until a virtual flirt turns into an every night cyber date with a handsome man in Montana. Before the summer is over, Dawn finds herself hiking around the beautiful and wild front range of the Rockies, having a grand time and enjoying life again. Strange and weird things turn into terror forcing her to run for her life. Her only hope is to escape the madman and survive the wilderness. Lost and afraid, thirsty and hungry, she discovers her true courage and strength. MrPerfect.com is a story of a woman’s will to live and love again.
If you think it won’t happen to you, think again. In this modern day of Internet dating how do we ensure Mr. Perfect is who he says he is, or at least who his profile insists he is? Of course, initially, Mr. Perfect appears to be exactly that - Mr. Perfect. But he’s been working on his image for quite some time now… This story takes off right from the start. There is no gentle immersion. You’re in it. Intrigue, confusion, self-doubt, and fear are steadily brewing. Our heroine, Dawn, is up to her neck in all things not nice. So what will she do? What can she do? She is lost to her family and friends, has no cell phone coverage, and is basically out of human contact in a remote unknown part of the country. The author writes with confidence in her storyline and research. She even brought me to tears at one part. It’s gripping, believable and un-put-down-able. Well done!
I simply couldn’t let this book out of my hands, and devoured it in two days! The author has a way of creating suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat, while I was actually there in Montana, living through Dawn’s eyes. The descriptions of the scenery are breathtaking, not to mention I’ve learned a few tips on survival in the wilderness that might come in handy one day. Absolutely FIVE stars! I hope to see this book turned into a movie one day, it’s really the perfect scenario!
