Mark finds out he has a son by the very woman he can't get off his mind and wants to do the right thing. But Essence is still upset with Mark and doesn't want to hear it and refuses his advances. She believes Mark to be the same shallow man who did not want a commitment. Can Mark convince Essence that he is sincere in his efforts? Will Essence give in for the sake of their son? But a decision has to be made quickly because "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE." At first I thought this to be your typical read of boy meet girl, boy lose girl, boy finds girl again. But I must say, it was an enjoyable read and ride along the way. Mark was a true alpha male who wanted it his way. And at times, it looked like it would be no way. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE had the right amount of emotions to make the story a little different and a lot more believable. I recommend this book highly as a keeper in your library collection. I love Ms. Daniels's style of writing.
