“It was a tense and exciting read from the very first page to the last.”
~ Under the Covers
The case is personal in Save Your Breath as Olivia Cruz, Lincoln Sharp’s girlfriend, goes missing. Morgan and Carl help their friend try and track Olivia down, but the more they discover the longer she is missing, they must face the possibility that they aren’t going to find her. At least not alive.
Although I am not a seasonal reader, I do enjoy curling up with a good mystery or thriller, and it always feels more satisfying when I do this on a rainy day. It fits the atmosphere. Although, this book has plenty of atmosphere, even without the helping hand of mother nature. It was a tense and exciting read from the very first page to the last.
What I really enjoy about the Morgan Dane series is that it is a great mixture of enthralling mystery, romance and the everyday life of a busy family. With each book you delve more and more into the life of Morgan, Carl and Sharp, as well as the people surrounding them, and love them that little bit more each time. This is why this booked worked so well. Sharp is one of my favourite characters in this series and we finally see him find a little romantic happiness and then see the devastation when Olivia disappears. Needless to say, I was heavily invested and couldn’t put this down until I knew how it ended.
If you haven’t read this series, you definitely need to give it a try. Not only does each book have a great mystery to unravel, but there’s also a load of romance, friendship and family mixed in. I can’t wait to read the next book!

Annnnnd I will stop myself there, before I start waxing lyrical about my love of historical romance and fantasy as well; no one needs to know about my elf fantasies. As you can tell, I adore and day dream about most romance genres, and my three big loves are 1) reading about romance 2) writing about romance and 3) talking about romance with my gals. Which, is why I love Under the Covers so much, I get all my bookish needs satisfied and don’t get judged when I talk about my favourite characters like they are real people. Which they are right?

I love this series and can’t wait to read this book!
This is one of my favorite romantic suspense series for the same reasons you mentioned. Home life, relationships, and investigating all weave together.
Thanks for the review Suzanne
