Jodi Ellen Malpas has done it again. She made me fall in love with another story except this time she left me BREATHLESS with her romantic and powerful writing!!

I am such a fan of her work so I was so excited to get my hands on it. Once I dived in, I couldn't put it down. I loved the plot of the story. A woman who has escaped an awful situation and a man trying to settle down after a life of protecting everyone else. She gave us two outstanding characters in Hannah and Ryan. They are complex and likable.

Hannah is the artsy type. She is creative, talented, and sassy when she needs to be. She has a chip on her shoulder because of a secret she has had to keep. She is constantly fearful that her past will collide with her present.

Ryan is a protector who is impulsive and fearless. He is reaching a point in his life where he wants to live a calmer lifestyle in his cabin. He goes back home and is captivated by Hannah. He has been in a serious relationship before and that didn't turn out so great. He has been living the single life for a while and Hannah is making him rethink his bachelor state.

I loved that Jodi surrounded Hannah and Ryan with amazing supporting characters. Alex, Ryan's daughter is a spitfire She was one of my favorite characters because she was funny in some of the tense moments and so wise for her age.

This just made it's way to my 'top 5 reads of the year' list. Everything about this story was breathtaking.

I give Leave Me Breathless 5 stars. It was an unputdownable romance that was wonderful to read. Jodi Ellen Malpas wrote a well-developed plot with charming characters that will steal your hearts. Get your inhalers ready because this book is about to leave you breathless. 😉
