Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of One Last Breath by Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush that I read and reviewed.
I could not get into this book as deeply as much as I wanted too. For me it went way to slow and it just dragged on. I usually love the books that Jackson and Bush write together but the action in this book took place in the beginning then there was a long lull while Liam was looking for Rory then the action sort of picked up while the killer started to clean up his mess but by that time I pretty much had lost interest in what was going on. Overall, the book was just choppy for me and I never really connected to the characters.
I am giving One Last Breath three out of five stars.

This was a fun beach read.

It lost a star because I figured out the 'who' way too early and found a lot of what happened with the 'who' to be almost too distasteful to read. Luckily, there were only a few of those scenes, but there was a huge ick factor.

As for the rest of the book: I loved our main characters and was rooting for them the whole time. Despite knowing our 'who' too early, I still found the book highly suspenseful. It was the kind of book I wanted to tear through and, when I had to stop to actually work, I was just anxious to get back to the book.

I've read the authors before and, yet again, they deliver an extremely entertaining read!

Another entertaining romantic suspense book by Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush. Even though I figured out the killer early on, it was a quite enjoyable read. I loved the main characters and seeing how things played out for them.

Thank you #NetGalley, #Kensingtonbooks and #Zebrapublishing for the ARC. This is my honest review.

Rory Bastian is getting ready to walk down the aisle to marry Liam Bastian when a masked intruder enters the bridal suite. Rory manages to get away, but the intruder threatens Rory and her unborn child. Meanwhile downstairs a gunman opens fire on the wedding party and the guests. Five years later Rory is still looking over her shoulder fearing someone will come after her and her daughter. Liam has tried but has never quite gotten over Rory.

This book caught my interest from the very first page and held on til the last page. There are so many twists and turns, you don’t know who you can trust. I didn’t like how Rory kept the secret of their child from Liam but I understand why she did it. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy of this book.
