The Breath of DawnThe Breath of Dawn by Kristen Heitzmann

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


THE BREATH OF DAWN had me holding my breath.

Quinn Reilly has lived off the grid ever since her testimony put a shyster in jail. But now he’s out, and looking at making her pay for ruining his con.  A loner, she’s kept to herself and can easy take-off whenever she needs to.  But, when she meets the Spencer family–particularly Morgan Spencer–she finds herself wanting to stick around. 

Morgan Spencer, a successful business guru, has spent the last two years functioning on autopilot.  After the death of his wife, he moved to his brother’s ranch, along with his infant daughter, his only goal . . . to keep breathing.  When he meets Quinn, something triggers inside him.  When he realizes she has her own ghosts, he decides they can help each other out with a simple business proposition.  A union that soon evolves to much more than business.

Just as Quinn and Morgan begin to figure out life, Quinn’s ghost comes back to haunt her.  Her first extinct is to run, but if she runs, she loses everything.

I loved THE BREATH OF DAWN.  Quinn and Morgan were great characters, along with Rick, Noelle, and RaeAnne.  Markhem was a true creep and Hannah was completely pitiful.  Though I would’ve liked more information up front explaining what happened in Quinn’s life, it didn’t diminish my enjoyment.  Great pacing, great plotting, great read!
