Any Melinda Leigh book is an automatic read and it's always great connecting with attorney Morgan Dane and her fiancé PI Lance Kruger, as they try to avoid new cases, yet get drawn into dangerous and intriguing situations. Another action packed installment from the Morgan Dane series, and love how the relationship evolved between Lance and Morgan.

Not to be missed!

Mystery, intrigue, action. Edge of your seat thrills and chills.
A drugging affliction that will send you in search of other titles from this author

I absolutely love this series and it never disappoints. This is one of the best yet. Totally gripping. Can't wait to catch up with Morgan and her team again!

I'm so sad the series has come to an end with Save Your Breath. Consistently written with wonderful character descriptions, the book is fast paced and unpredictable all throughout. Highly recommended.

Ms. Leigh always leaves me wanting more when I finish one of her books and this one was no different.

Really, I have loved this series right from the beginning and found it is one that readers can't just say 'I'll start with this one' and the book happens to be the third or fourth in the series. No, this is a series where a reader needs to start with the first book - Say You're Sorry - since there's so much character development and it's a series where you really need to get to know each character and how they fit into Morgan's life.

This sixth book of the series took me on a gripping, suspense-filled ride that had me on the edge of my seat at times and hoping that everything would work out for the best, especially since someone close to Morgan and her team has gone missing. Will they find their friend before it's too late? Will Morgan's investigation take a deadly turn for her?

Overall, Ms. Leigh has delivered an extremely engaging, fast-paced read that drew me in from the beginning. Really, it was a story I couldn't put down for many reasons. Great details of what's going on. The riveting back story of the main character. Morgan's determination to get to the bottom of what's happened to her friend. The suspenseful ending that had me worried for Morgan and those in her life. Furthermore, I loved the way this story ended as Morgan deserves happiness in her life after everything she's been through.

Save Your Breath is classic Melinda Leigh. This was a really good installment in the Morgan Dane series.

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!

I think I held my breathe during the kidnapping scene and that scene towards the end. Wow, Melinda Leigh is very good at suspence!

Between both scenes, however, I would have preferred a faster pace. There seems to be a lot of side stories. I found myself wanting to skip passages.

Overall, a decent read. I like the author's writing style.

Another great read by a talented author I really enjoyed reading it and will definitely read more and recommend reading it

I love these characters and this series. While the characters are familiar, the story changes with each book. Each book is its own complete story, so it doesn’t matter if you do not read them in order or read them out of order you will enjoy each book.

While trying to plan their wedding, Morgan and Lance find out their friend Olivia is missing. Olivia is also in a relationship with Sharp. All of this make this case much more personal and important to solve. There are twists and turns that take the reader on a mysterious path of who-dun-it.

I love that there are touches of romance between Lance and Morgan. The scene with Lance and Morgan’s children is one of my favorite and shows how amazing her really is. The romance is not the main part of the story, but it is something I love reading about.

Please pick up your own copy of this book, meet these wonderful characters, and fall into this amazing storyline.

I have to admit that, albeit I’m usually a big fan of Melinda Leigh and her Morgan Dane series, I had a hard time getting into SAVE YOUR BREATH. It started off really slowly with a premise that just didn’t grab me by the throat, and in fact I put it down for almost a year and read several other books instead before remembering I had started this one. The back half of the book went a lot more smoothly, but I still can’t say that I loved it. Morgan and Lance were awesome as usual (seriously, if Lance were real I’d absolutely want him in my life!) and all of the characters and interpersonal relationships were as endearing and engaging as they have always been, but the plot fell flat for me and the book overall lacked that ‘oomph’ I’ve experienced with the rest of Ms. Leigh’s work. Still a fine enough read and a good way to round out the Morgan and Lance story arc (even if the series continues), but probably not one that will stick in my memory forever.

I have absolutely adored reading the Morgan Dane series. With that being said, this book had a very hard time holding my grip and I can't quite pinpoint why. I found myself often putting it down mid-chapter and taking a couple of days to pick it back up, it took me months to finish this one. Overall, the story was good. I enjoyed getting to see this side of Sharp and having the focus of the story on him for a change. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read to an advance copy of this book.

Even though this is the 6th book in the series all of them can work as standalone novels which I really love. I will definitely check out the others. I do recommend reading the others in the series to gain the full experience. The mysteries are new in each book but the characters are the same so you get more in-depth storylines with them.

I have thoroughly enjoyed all the books in this romantic suspense/crime/PI mystery series. Morgan Dane is the main character but over the series many more have been added. This book has Olivia Cruz, a crime reporter we met in a previous book, missing. Lincoln Sharp, Olivia's boyfriend is planning on finding her, even if he has to break the law to do it. Lance, Morgan's fiancé, plans to help his boss stay out of trouble and help find Olivia. Searching Olivia's house and computer, they find out that she is investigating two cases, both that might be able to file appeals. Are either of these cases the clue to her disappearance? Will they find Olivia alive?

This book starts off with a bang and pulled me in right away. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who had Olivia and why. Every clue, every trail that Morgan, Lance and Lincoln unearthed seemed to end in a dead end. As the story moved forward, there was that fear that Olivia might not have anymore time. Melinda Leigh knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages when you should be doing something else. Not only is there a mystery, but she still manages to integrate the personal lives of the characters in a way that feels realistic. I am sad that this series is ending as I loved these characters, but I know that Melinda Leigh will have a new series with amazing new characters coming soon enough. I definitely recommend this book and series to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense, as well as mysteries and crime stories.

As a fan of the first few books in this series, I wasn’t completely in love with this installment. I wanted to check in with the characters, see what life looked like for them, and how they were balancing their personal lives with their intense work. I liked the book, it has the same tone, pacing, and complex mystery that each other book in the series has, but I was missing the individual characters. They work together as a team here, and I found it difficult to separate each individual character while they worked the case.

The mystery started off intense and I was immediately drawn in. It’s been awhile since I visited this series, so getting to know Olivia as she went through her kidnapping was great in terms of character development. As the story and mystery continues I was wishing for more connection between Olivia and Lincoln, which I know is tricky since they spend the whole book apart.

The blurb gave a lot away in my opinion, mostly because it takes a good quarter of the book to establish what the blurb reveals in a few sentences. I wanted the connection between Olivia’s book and the other cases to be stronger, which in the end sort of dissolved the mystery element for me.

Overall I think this is a good book for those that enjoy the Morgan Dane series, as there is a good ending and a nice window into her life and job. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fast paced, romantic mysteries with light romance and a good balance of character and the case.

A great ending to the series. I was emotionally invested enough in the story and characters that I ended up teary eyed. Some couples either need an event to open their eyes or a good smack in order for them to get together.
Melinda Leigh has not written a book I didn't like, yet.

This was a great book to the series and ending if I am reading it correctly. I tired up at the end. I think this was really the only way the Olivia and Lincoln realized how much they mean to each other. I also can't believe who kidnapped her and why. Such a bizarre reason. I ended up listening to this book on audio then reading as I have for the whole series and it has been an enjoyment to listen to. I will be sad to see this series end but it ended on a happy positive note.



*I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.*

An addition to her ‘Morgan Dane’ series, I really enjoyed reading "Save Your Breath" by Melinda Leigh.

Whilst this novel is the sixth instalment, this book can also be read as a stand-alone as the author did a brilliant job in providing enough contextual information to pick up the series.

Melinda Leigh’s writing style was very solid, as was the plot development. Her characters were all strong and dynamic and I particularly liked her talent in making her characters believable and likeable. Also admirable was her gift for revealing the subtleties of their personalities and relationships.

The plot itself was riveting and intriguing and I didn’t want to put down my e-reader once I had started reading this. It had me enthralled until the exciting and unexpected conclusion.

A brilliant and enthralling finale to a superb series, I am already looking forward to this fabulous writer's next offering which I'm sure will be equally as good, if not better, than Save Your Breath. Jam-packed with tons of thrilling suspense, this was, most definitely, a very worthwhile read.

Thanks to NetGalley, Montlake Romance and the author, Melinda Leigh for my complimentary copy of Save Your Breath. My honest review is entirely voluntary.

Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read a complementary copy of this book in return for a review based upon my honest opinion.

I really, really like this series. Reading this book was like catching up with old friends I really enjoy the four characters in this book Morgan and Lance and Olivia and Lincoln. I’ve enjoyed reading about them in the past and the continuation of the story of their relationships both as couples and together as friends is really enjoyable. In this book, Olivia is kidnapped and Lincoln, Lance and Morgan must work through the clues to try to find out not only who has her but how they can save her if she is in fact still alive. The side stories with the family members grandpa, Gianna, and Lance’s mother are always interesting and are great side characters. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and see the continuation of Lincoln and Olivia‘s love story And to see what crime the gang will solve next. Lots of action, twists and turns and as usual just a great story.

Another great addition to the series. There is a great mystery. The characters are amazing and real. The book is very well written.
