US Cover ~ leave me breathless.jpg



Ryan Willis has spent years in the protection business, a job that requires constant vigilance and quick thinking. His only chance to truly relax is at his secluded cabin in a small town where there are never any surprises. So when Ryan returns after an assignment and encounters a beautiful stranger, he isn't only surprised, he's also instantly intrigued.

Hannah Bright is a breath of fresh air, and Ryan is soon completely consumed, unable to stop from falling for her. As the two grow closer, his instinct tells him something is amiss. Yet nothing could prepare him for what he discovers when he starts digging into her past.

Hannah spends her days painting, running her arts and crafts store...and hiding too many secrets. It's why she won't let the ruggedly handsome bodyguard get too close. But their chemistry is undeniable, and Hannah quickly finds herself caught up in a whirlwind romance with Ryan. He is peace personified, a balm to her battered soul. Yet the gorgeous, captivating man who has swept Hannah off her feet doesn't even know who she really is. And the moment he finds out, both their lives are at risk.

REVIEW:

4-4.25 stars
****

This was a really good book! Leave Me Breathless is Hannah and Ryan's story. Hannah is on the run from her dangerous past. She is an artist who has moved to a small town with a new identity and opened her own art shop. Ryan is a former security professional who has decided to retire to his small hometown to spend more time with his daughter. There he meets Hannah and she sparks something in him he has never felt before. He knows she is hiding something and is scared, which brings up his protective instincts. They find a connection and begin a relationship, but they also have to deal with her past coming back to haunt her.

I really enjoyed this romantic suspense story. I liked that it was a standalone and was pretty low angst. I loved Hannah and Ryan. They made a great couple. He was protective and strong. She was so sweet for having been through so much. I loved her free spirit and ability to rebound from tragedy with a hopeful outlook. I also liked Ryan's daughter, Alex, even if she felt more like a fifteen year old than a ten year old. The story felt a little Lifetime movie-esque, but the writing was very good and I felt the emotion. I enjoyed the small town feel and the art aspect. There is a little ex-drama with Ryan's daughter's mother, but it was minor as they were never really together (one night stand resulted in a baby), nor did he like her at all. That did not really take away from my enjoyment of the book. Overall, this was a sweet, sexy, simple story with the perfect amount of suspense.

In conclusion, I really enjoyed this great, low angst, easy read. This was my first book by Jodi Ellen Malpas and will definitely not be my last.
