Exhale:

Breathe #3

by Elena Dillon

The third installment of the Breathe Series is a novella that takes place just months after "Shimmer" ends. All your favorite characters return for a Thanksgiving weekend that is not at all what they had planned. Instead of a quiet relaxing four days off, Jasmine finds herself once again having to make choices between what she thinks is right and what everyone else thinks is safe.

In the last four years, since her kidnapping, Jasmine Rourke has been attempting to live a quiet, normal life under the radar. She graduated from high school, lives on campus at University of Louisiana Lafayette and is enjoying the college life with her “Dream Guy” boyfriend, Easton Ward.

But for the Rourke family a peaceful life just isn’t in the cards. Only months after her brother’s terrifying run in with a mob gunrunner, the events of Thanksgiving weekend will change the course of their lives forever and it will all start with the ringing of a doorbell…

I recieved an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.Now I received it on evening and thought I could start it and read til I fell asleep.Yeah right! I had to finish it before I went to bed I couldn't out it down!So I think Elena Dillon needs to stop writing books that keep me up all night! Ok,not really,please please don't stop writing! I am totally in love with all these characters, I can't get enough of them! And that ending,goodness gracious I thought I was losing my heart because I was on the verge of bawling my eyes out. Now I won't give away the ending but just believe me when I say,hold your breathe to the very end because EXHALE is true to pattern of the previous Breathe books. There was plenty of drama,as usual. Last time we saw Jasmine and Easton was living a pretty peaceful existence,although her brother had a little run in with trouble in Shimmer,all's well at the Rourke House. Or Not!
It's Thanksgiving Holidays and the crew:Jasmine,Easton,Finn,Logan,Chandler,Caedan,Lily,and Rose are gathered at the Rourke house for a fun day of food,family,and friends.All is well until the doorbell rings announcing an unexpected and seemingly unwanted guest,throwing the Rourke family and their relationships upside down. Chaos is back with a vengeance,one choice that appears selfless and right turns into anything but that. Now Jasmine must live with the consequences whether or not her intentions we innocent,they still lead to possibly the worst outcome she could imagine.
Old villains still haunt this family while the possibility of new ones lingers in the air.Can our they escape possible danger again while still keeping their relationships intact? Or will it prove too much this time,shattering already vulnerable hearts?

I received an ARC eBook in exchange for an honest review. Wow! Another unputdownable romantic suspense book in the Breathe series! Elena Dillon has s true talent for weaving a wonderfully clean yet suspenseful romance that will keep you mesmerized from the first word to the last. I loved reading about the Rourke family and how they pull together to get through difficult situations. This book had it all - laughs, tears, fears, drama and good old pranks! I loved every second and highly recommend this book, this series and this MUST-READ Author!!!

This book was amazing...suspenseful with a romantic flare with just the right amount of familial hi jinx. I couldn't put the book down. read it within a day on downloading. I cannot wait to see what happens next in the Breathe series. I am thrilled to have discovered another gifted writer to entertain and thrill me. With that being said, the Rourke family, a group of unique individuals, enriches the story with their love for one another, their bickering, and fierce loyalty. Hoping a story for Lily is on its way.

Exhale – the third in the Breathe series by Elena Dillon delivered. My only problem is, will I get to visit these people again? With the unexpected return of a family member on Thanksgiving and demands from an old enemy causing seismic shifts in this family the story only gets richer. If you haven’t read them all you’re falling behind because you will enjoy!
