Description
Country singer superstar, Teddie Donavan, returns to her hometown for a sabbatical due to exhaustion, and to come to terms with her parents' deaths—a tragedy that has haunted her for seventeen years. She'll also have to face the boyfriend who broke her heart. Drew Millard has been miserable since he walked out on his now famous girlfriend. Not only did he miss his chance to hit the big time—he also lost his one true love. Since Teddie left, he's made mistake after mistake. Just when he's on the verge of straightening out his life, Teddie reappears. As the two cautiously explore a second chance at love, past demons and a new danger threaten to destroy them. Is a future possible for the former lovers? Or will death step in and end it all?

The good
I liked the writing style which drew me in. I liked the story and was really rooting for the main character.
The bad
I totally saw the "twist" coming And it just felt a little contrived. And I didn't feel the chemistry between the reunited lovers. There wasn't enough detail there to make me believe it.
Overall
I liked this book and am glad to have read it. I would read more by this author.
Thank you to net galley for the advance copy.

I wasn't sure if I liked this one or not after I started it. By the end, I was hooked. The characters still feel as if they are developing and if it's going to be a series then I'm okay with it. The mysteries are interesting and I would have liked to see more depth to their part of the story. The second chance love aspect made the story worth reading. I liked the characters of Drew and Teddie, even when they frustrated me. Overall this is a good read and I will be picking up the next.

Had potential:
This is the first book in the Donavon Sister series and while there were some interesting developments regarding the mystery, it unfortunately didn't grab me. There were some unexpected twists and it had me guessing but overall it was rather a dark and depressing story. The writing style felt stiff and I didn't feel an emotional connection to any of the characters. The romance between Drew and Teddie lacked depth and seemed to be stuck in the past tense rather than evolve and mature in the present. I also did not like the multiple instances of infidelity with every couple that was mentioned. Another stumbling block for me were the numerous mistakes with incorrect words used as well as grammatical errors.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

Afraid to Breath is the first book I’ve read by this author.
In this novel, we find country singer Teddie returning home during a well deserved break from singing. Now that she’s back home, she’s coming to grips with her parent’s tragic death and the boyfriend who broke her heart.
Interested in reading more by this author in the future.
