THE BREATH OF DAWN by KRISTEN HEITZMANN And PAPERWHITE KINDLE GIVEAWAY!


ABOUT THE BOOK

"Heitzmann weaves a many-layered tale keep[ing] readers entertained and wondering when the next bit of drama will occur." -Publishers Weekly

Corporate turnaround specialist Morgan Spencer, dubbed the "success guru," has a Midas touch in business. But losing his wife sent him to the brink, and his two-year-old daughter, Livie, is all he's living for-until they encounter a woman whose trouble just might draw him out of his own.


Four years ago Quinn Reilly did the right thing. Now the man her testimony put in jail is getting out. Though she has put up barriers to protect herself and those around her, she has come to care for the Spencer family, especially the winsome Livie and her mercurial father. Unwilling to put them at risk when the threats begin, she requests something she hopes the super-successful Morgan might be able to deliver.


Fixing problems is what Morgan does best, but his counterproposal takes them in a direction neither is equipped to handle. Determined to confront the past, will they survive to build a future?

ABOUT KRISTEN

MY REVIEW

From the beginning I was hooked in this book. I just couldn't stop reading it. Quinn is such a strong woman, meaning she has inner strength. She testified against a con-artist, even though it meant she would lose her family. She has her own business. She even does what she can to help out someone she really doesn't know.

Then there's Morgan and his precious little girl. He has basically put life on hold to care for his little girl. 

Kristen has written another winner for me. I so enjoy going back to places I've been and visiting people I've met so reading about Rick and Noelle and Morgan was almost like old home week. 

Kristen's characters are so full of life that you can't help but feel the joys and pain and get caught up in their healing. Watching how she brings Quinn and Morgan together was almost like listening to a symphony. Two strong but wounded people who are attracted to one another, yet they know they aren't ready for any relationship, then circumstances cause them to throw their lots together. 

Then the suspense.... who is this nutcase that is determined to destroy Quinn? Will he succeed? Who else will he destroy in the process?

A wonderfully well-written story, this one is worth reading a few times more. And what makes it so marvelous is it's available in e-book format as well has paperback!

INDELIBLE by Kristen Heitzmann

INDELIBLE: Impossible to remove, erase, or wash away, permanent. (Definition from The FreeDictionary.com)


Kristen Heitzmann has written a book that will remain with you after you have read the last page. Her characters are strong and powerful. The plot is tight and you have to read the next page and the next page to find out what is going to happen next.

The opening chapter is dynamic and heart-stopping. Kristen keeps the fast pace going from page one to the end and never loses her reader.

Trevor is a take-charge, never give up kind of fella who hides his pain and fears by running in the face of danger to save those not able to save themselves.


Natalie is an artist with an unusual way of seeing things, especially the faces of those around her. Her medium is clay and what she creates is beautiful, powerful and truthful. She sees in people what God sees in them.

These two people could probably stand by themselves in the story, however Kristen has surrounded them with friends and family and all of the entanglements that come with relationships; thereby making solid characters more whole and complete.

This is a book I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful story to read. 

Kristen Heitzmann is the bestselling author of seventeen novels, including The Edge of Recall and the Christy Award winner Secrets. An artist and music minister, Kristen lives in Colorado Springs with her husband, Jim, and their family.

BloggingforBooks provided me an e-book for the purpose of review. Everything I have said is of my own opinion.
