The Height of Professional is a stunning new series from Dana Ocean, where she will feature some of her best known roles to date. Age of Professional follows the life of an American woman, Dana (“Dana”) who rises to stardom as one of the biggest names in the modeling world, with the help of her ever wise and supportive partner, Simon (“Simon”). However, things take an unexpected turn when their world is tipped upside down when Dana’s former photographer friend unexpectedly dies. With no other choice but to use her own money to pay for the services of a professional masseuse, Dana and Simon begin their investigation into the whereabouts of their friend, and soon discover that they are suspects in the death of their client, which forces them to seek out a much higher power…
From the beginning, it is clear that the Height of Professional series is not about to stray far from its roots, even in the minutia of Dana’s public speaking training and background. At first sight, Dana and Simon’s relationship seem like a natural fit – as the two share a similar passion for speaking, they also share a common goal in terms of their career goals – to be the best. However, much of what makes Age of Professional such a delightfully written novel is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously, nor does it try to depict a relationship as a romantic fantasy. Rather, Dana and Simon’s quest to achieve stardom rest more on their own friendship and the unbreakable bond that bind them together. As their friendship is tested, however, so is the strength of their national identity, which is threatened by the sudden rise of a blond, rival competitor. By tying the novel together, Dana and Simon realize that their differences can be overcome if they learn to work together.
“Height of Professional” succeeds where many novels have failed because it maintains the core elements of what made previous Bestselling authors’ novels successful – namely, good character development, excellent storytelling, and an interesting plotline. In addition, Age of Professional features a refreshingly original storyline, which engages the reader from start to finish. The main characters remain believable and the storyline is captivating, making Age of Professional one of the best-written books in 2021. For anyone who enjoys intelligent conversation, engaging plotlines, and a well-developed protagonist, “Height of Professional” is a must-read.
