This is entire series is excellent reading. The suspense is intense and the romance is spot-on. I will be adding Blackburn to my list of must-read authors. I especially enjoyed this story because I had read the previous two books in the series and be introduced to the two main characters in this story. It was great to finally read their story and see them get their happily ever after. I highly recommend this entire Dive Investigations series.

I read this book on NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This is book 3 of the Dive Team Investigation series. Although it is a standalone story, I recommend reading the previous books to get to know the characters and their backstories.

One Final Breath starts off with a literal bang, gunshots mixed in with thunder. While enjoying a rare day off, the members of the dive team are enjoying a cookout on Lake Porter. The weather starts a turn for the worse, and then the day takes a turn for the worse when the team hears gunshots and then a scream. They all race into action and try to help whoever was screaming. Investigator Gabe Chavez takes lead on the investigation, which brings him face to face with the reason he was no longer working undercover. As the investigations continues, it seems to be connected to a past that Team Captain Anissa Bell would rather not have to share. As they investigate, there have been a few attempts on Anissa’s life. Gabe and Anissa rush to find the murderer and to find the person that is trying to kill her. In the midst of all of this, it brings them closer together and gets them to discuss how they feel about each other.

This is a fast-paced story that keeps you reading to find out how all the threads come together in an uplifting conclusion. It also wraps up the series nicely and hope to see more of these characters in future stories.

I was provided a copy of this book by Revell via NetGalley.

While I loved all of the Dive Team members I believe that Anissa and Gabe are my favorite couple. I loved the witty banter and the deep discussions. I loved how they learned to accept each other's pasts with grace. Most of all I love their devotion to God. As a side note, I believe Sam is my all-time favorite character. Although she had a bit piece she is a giant in my book! I really hope that Sam returns in future books. I would really love to know her backstory!

So pour up a sweet tea and curl up for an edge-of-your-seat adventure with One Final Breath!

I borrowed a copy of this book from the library. All thoughts are my own.

I have to share that I just happened to read Lynn’s first book in this series by accident. I saw a e-book offer for the Kindle and bought it, because it sounded interesting. And it definitely was! I loved the suspense, the storyline and the characters that she introduced me to. The plot was engaging and I was hooked. Since I enjoyed the book so much, I shared it with my teenage girls who are also book lovers and I was not surprised that they quickly became Lynn Blackburn fans! Together, the 4 of us, anxiously anticipated the next installment of the Dive Team Investigations.


Needless to say, her second book was equally engaging and entertaining. However, I have to admit that Lynn’ third and final book in the Dive Team Investigations, One Final Breath, has to be my favorite. It may be because she has assembled a team of characters that are now my friends. I love the development of each of the characters and how Lynn has helped us to understand them more and more. The tight knit group of friends work together, spend time together, and even pray together.


In One Final Breath, we learn more about Anissa and Gabe (who also happens to be my favorite character). Anissa’s life is in danger. Despite growing up as a missionary kid in the remote island of Yap, a college tragedy has haunted Anissa and kept her in the United States. Rather than join the majority of her family on the mission field, her guilt has kept her stateside and led her to a job leading the Dive Team Investigators in Carrington.


Now that Gabe is no longer undercover, his work on the Dive Team, under Anissa’s leadership is steady and regular. Anissa is an enigma that Gabe admires but also drives him insane. Lynn’s storytelling is such that I could feel Anissa and Gabe’s chemistry even as I was reading.


I thoroughly enjoyed One Final Breath and it was definitely my favorite of the 3. I imagine a big reason is that I have gotten to know all the characters in the circle of friends and they are now my friends. From Ryan, Anissa’s second in command, and Leigh, his wife, a nurse practitioner and childhood friend to Sabrina, the tech expert and professor and her fiance Adam, another dive team member; as I read each book, ending with One Final Breath, this group of friends became my friends, too!
This was great last installment, I would definitely recommend it.

After reading the previous two books of this series I was already pretty attached to each of the characters, so I was excited to begin this one and spend more time with them. While I enjoyed the mystery aspect, it was the romance between Gabe and Anissa that really pulled me in. I liked that Gabe took the risk and shared his feelings with Anissa when he wasn’t sure how she would react. I also appreciated that there was no big disagreement or misunderstanding that would cause a rift in their relationship that tends to be so common in storylines to keep readers invested.
On the mystery side, the story opens with Gabe and Anissa responding to a shooting. While chasing down leads they discover a possible connection to a cold case Anissa has never stopped investigating. Will they be able to solve this cold case and catch the shooter before someone else gets hurt? I enjoyed feeling like I was right there with the team trying to solve the mysteries. The cold case story pulled at my heart strings and had me shedding a few tears at times.
I did not want to put this book down. I was sad to say goodbye to this group of friends and can only hope they make appearances in future books by Ms. Blackburn.

Well, the final book delivered much like books one and two! AMAZINGLY!! This author always has me pulled into the story right away. Yep - this was a one day read for me again. I. Could. Not. Put. It. Down!! I knew I had it figured out early in the book.

And then I didn't! The tale was so intricately woven in and out, that it kept me guessing the "who dun it?" all the way through.

The book is fine as a stand alone book - but do yourself a favor and read the series. This book just put that cherry on top of a perfectly-suspenseful sundae!

Disclaimer: I did receive a digital copy and an ARC from Revell Books, a Division of Baker Publishing Group with no expectation in return. However, the comments and opinions above are my own and I chose to share.

This is the third and final book out of this series and it was a long time coming. In the previous two books, you could tell there was a friction between Anissa and Gabe, and we finally get to see them work out their feelings towards one another and work together to solve the mystery of what happened to Anissa's childhood friend, as well as the current case Gabe is working on.

Great series by Blackburn, and I hope there are more books waiting to be published!

Great way to end this trilogy! My phobia of water made this series more thrilling for me. I loved the sense of humor and comradery throughout the page turner.

ONE FINAL BREATH is the third and final book in this series. Ms. Blackburn is becoming a favorite romantic suspense author of mine and I couldn't wait until I had time to read this book.

ONE FINAL BREATH starts slow, setting the scene, which is important. Then a shot rang out... and the pace got a shot of Adrenalin. I didn't want to put the book down. I fell in love with the two main characters and wanted them to find peace with their pasts.

The final few chapters were more telling as the author attempted to take care of any dangling threats, but the final scene has to be the most unique in the history of romance.

I really enjoyed ONE FINAL BREATH and the whole series.

i was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.

Absolutely loved this story full of suspense, drama and romance. Although this is book 3 of the Dive Team Investigation series, it can be read as a stand alone book. I have read the other books and enjoyed them, so I definitely recommend reading them in order for character development.

This story mostly focuses on Anissa and Gabe, along with the other Dive Team characters as they work together to figure out the murder of a teenage boy in their area. Lots of twists and turns and mini stories weaved into this intense Christian fiction story. I loved the main characters and their determination to solve the crimes and work together as a team, also using prayer and God to help direct them. I loved reading more about the other dive team members from the other books.

Excellent story line and characters-kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. LOVED IT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND but beware-you won’t want to stop reading once you start!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

Love this series and the chance to return to the characters in this one! I highly recommend picking this one up.

Gabe and Anissa's story has been looong coming! And what an exciting ride!
Each one holding on to their own secrets and trying to deal with their attraction in their own way, they will be put to the challenge during an investigation -- challenged to not irritate each other to death but also to brave to have their hearts broken once again. Good thing they have the best support team ever :-)

Perfect ending tot he series. Once again Lynn Blackburn kept me on the edge of my seat in anticipation.

This book takes off and just keeps you on your toes! Shootings... kidnappings... a mysterious illness... pair that with a bit of romance and I was hooked! Can't wait for the next book!


I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley on behalf of the Publisher and was under no obligation to post a favorable review.

One Final Breath by Lynn H. Blackburn is book 3 in the Dive Team Investigations series. Gabe and Anissa are dive team investigators. Gabe is in charge of solving a homicide and Anissa seems to have a sudden target on her back. This novel's suspense never ends and it has just enough romance to make the story perfect. Readers who love romantic suspense will absolutely adore this novel. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

I absolutely loved this story. This is book three of the Dive Team Investigations series. The first two were excellent also. Someone is trying to kill investigator Anissa Bell and investigator Gabriel Chavez will do whatever it takes to stop him even at the risk of his own life. The relationship between these two characters has evolved so much from the first book. They have to overcome events in their pasts and forgive themselves of mistakes they've made to have a future together. Full of suspense and witty humor with a touch of romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Wow! I’m not sure how else to word my thoughts once I reached the end of this book. The suspense, the romance, Gabe….. need I say more? Blackburn certainly knows how to write a good story that makes readers unable to put the book down. That was me – I read this in one sitting. Yep, it was that good!

Gabe and Anissa’s story is one that I’ve been waiting for. I just love their relationship. They drive each other crazy at times, but also can’t stay away from each other. Yes, they have a backstory, but you’ll have to read to find out what it is. And Gabe is just there for Anissa. I think that’s what draws me to him. His quiet, hunky way of just being there for support, sometimes without saying anything. Swoon.

Both of these characters have something they need to get through in this story, both from their past and their present. Blackburn did not shy away from having THE message woven through the pages of this book, and that is something I appreciate about her writing. Her characters had real issues and looked for solid solutions – as in they prayed and/or went to other Christians for counsel. Such a great message for readers to have.

The bottom line is that this book, well this series actually, is a must read for romantic suspense fans. I do recommend starting with book one, not only because the series is amazing, but I think the back story behind the characters adds to the depth of this book. Besides, I know you’ll like them anyways!!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a favorable review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I never received my copy of this book, but I'm sure it would have been amazing. Can't wait to finish the series whenever I can get this book.

This is the first book in this series I read, I am sure I missed a ton and after reading this book will definitely be going and reading the other books in this series. This book literally keeps you guessing from the beginning to the end. I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down. The suspense and the story between Anissa and Gabe was so good. I liked how the author didn't rush the relationship but just let it grow. I loved Liz she and Brooke where a different element for the story but equally amazing. This book was a good clean read and is so worth the read.

I had never read a book by Lynn Blackburn before and now I am so glad that read this one first. It was an incredible read. I loved the characters and the unique story line. The suspense and the romance were equally good. Gabe and Anissa were a wonderful match that were different that your typical couples. I never knew much about dive teams, so this was an education in that too. Even though I had not read the previous books in this series, I didn't feel like it mattered to this story.
I would definitely recommend this book And I am glad that I tried a new author that I am adding to my must reads.
I received a complimentary copy from the NetGalley but the opinions and review are entirely my own.

“One Final Breath” by Lynn Blackburn was an excellent read! This is the third book in the Dive Series. I have been looking forward to this next book, and it didn’t disappoint just like the first two. Lynn Blackburn is definitely one of my favorite authors. I have loved everything she’s written.

This book follows Gabe Chavez and Anissa Bell. When they discover a teenage boy that has been shot in the water, they team up to find out what really happened. This investigation, in turn, brings up a lot of Gabe’s and Anissa’s pasts.

I highly recommend this book and the whole Dive Team series. It has suspense, romance and a little twist all thrown in.

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.
