A Breather of Sweet Substance



Yes, a short and sweet love story can have depth to it. Inhaling Hope and Show Me Silver each feature main characters who must deal with deep pain rooted in their pasts.



Short reads can also coat serious themes with layers of other flavors. Debbie Duo has a blend of the whimsical and the nostalgic. And the key life lessons awaiting the heroine in Celebrating Solo? are wrapped in comedy.



You can enjoy these uplifting, "just kisses" love stories separately or in a collection, Love by the Breather: Four Romantic Reads.

Inhaling Hope gives us the dawn of a sweet romance set in the shadows of a tragedy. Nadine Keels lets us look into the souls of her characters and helps us find their redemption. I received a complimentary copy for an honest review.

Clarion is scared to build a future she knows from experience isn’t promised. Her handsome neighbor knows there’s no time like the present. He wants more but is willing to wait. Can Clarion learn to live for today oh well her handsome neighbor always be in the friend zone? I loved this book, although it was short it says so much and I enjoyed all of it. I love the way it was written, the outcome there isn’t anything to dislike about the story of love and acceptance. Please forgive any grammar or punctuation errors as I am blind and dictate my review but all opinions are definitely my own.

Simple and sweet. 2 neighbors become friends, possibilities of more. A history of sickness that could stop them from being more than friends. The choice to live with what you have and look to the future.
