Book number 6 in the Morgan Dane series, and just as great a read as any of Melinda Leigh's books!

If you are looking for a book that will intrigue you, make you stay up past your bedtime to read it, and leave you wanting more, this book will satisfy your reading needs!

Investigative reporter Olivia Cruz is taken from her home. With too many options for reasons, investigator  Lincoln Sharp, who has become romantically involved with Olivia, frantically searches for clues to her disappearance.  As a former police detective, her knows that time is running out quickly. As he searches, he enlists the help of his partner Lance Kruger and attorney Morgan Dane.

Not realizing this is the 6th book in this series, I'm definitely going to be reading the previous ones. I couldn't put this book down once I started. It was so good and kept me on the edge of my seat in suspense. 

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Save your breathe is the 6th installment of Morgan Dane series. While each of these books can be read as a stand-alone, I recommend reading the series in order to have the full experience. The mysteries are new with each book, but the personal lives of the characters continues from one book to the next. 

Morgan is a young widower with three small girls. She returned to Scarlett Falls after he husband died in the military. She moved in with her retired police grandfather and they lend each other support. 

Lance is a cop turned Private investigator.  When he was a child, his father disappeared. Lincoln was the cop who attempted to solve that case and took Lance under his wing. When he retired, Lance came to work with him as a PI. Morgan is a lawyer who also works at their firm. Over time, she and Lance fell in love and are engaged. 

In the past, Lincoln has worked with an investigative reporter named Olivia.  Neither like to let anyone in, but they slowly broke down each other’s walls. 

Olivia has signed with an agent to do a true crime book based on a couple of cases she is researching. She has concerns that the men in jail man be innocent of the crimes they were arrested for. She wants to discuss the case with Lincoln. But before she can, someone kidnaps her from her bed in the middle of the night.  With very little to go on, can Lincoln, Lance, and Morgan find Olivia before it’s too late? 

I really enjoy this series and try to read them as soon as they come out. The characters are smart, resourceful, and human. The writing seems to be well researched and is easy to follow. And for those who like their stories clean, they don’t have much more then a couple bedroom innuendos and they aren’t too gory. 

Thanks Netgalley, Melinda Leigh, and Montlake for this book.

Wow, just WOW! 
This series has gone to the top of my favorites list.
Melinda Leigh captivates you with a story so twisted it's impossible to put down!
If you a book that will draw you in and make the world around you go away this one's for you.
Classified as romantic suspense, the mystery really leads the story but let's face it, a handsome hunk is never a bad thing either.
5+ stars!

Melinda Leigh, is becoming one of my favorite authors of romantic suspense. I love this series and when I start reading, I cannot put the book down. Morgan is an amazing woman with a wonderful man at her side, Lance. Together they are a force to. be feared. With Morgan being a lawyer, and her sister being a cop and Lance as a private investigator, used to be cop. And then there is Lincoln Sharp, ex cop and partners with Lance. This story is about Olivia, Sharp’s friend. She is a investigative crime reporter who is kidnapped. And you won’t believe who and why did it. It’s a race against time to figure it all out. From the first page to the last, this story will keep you guessing.

Received an Advance Reader Copy, for an honest review. This is a romantic suspense story, also my first read from author Melinda Leigh, and I was hooked from the first page. Olivia was kidnapped and the race was on. Lance and Morgan helping Sharp search  for her,  Tons of mystery and suspense trying to figure out who has her, then had the romantic essence as well. A very good read and I will be going back to read more of her books.

Morgan is an attorney and Lance is a private investigator. When their friend Olivia goes missing, they help Sharp, who is Lance’s boss and friend. Olivia is a true crime writer and as they delve deeper into her research, they realize that it may be connected to two different murder cases. While they continue to look for Olivia, someone tries to kill them. Can they find her before it’s too late?
Action and suspense. Two people set in their ways, not wanting to put a name to their relationship. I totally did not know who the kidnapper was. I could not put this book down. It will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

As with all of the books in Melinda Leigh's Morgan Dane series, this was phenomenal.  
I was fortunate to be able to read an ARC copy of this book for the purpose of review.  
I could not put this book down.  This book grabbed from page one and kept my interest until the teary end.
I fear this is this last book, but I know from other reads by Melinda that my favorite characters will reappear in future books.
I highly recommend this book.

Another great book in the Morgan Dane series and the final one. Although it is always sad when a series ends when you love the characters the author ended this series with a great final book! This book is about Sharp and Olivia (and yes you HAVE to read all the books in the series). Olivia is missing and it is up to Sharp, Lance and Morgan to find out what happened to her. This book has a ton of suspense and thrills! I loved this book and love this series but I look forward to reading Melinda Leigh's next book or series because once you start reading any of her books you will be a life long follower of hers! Read this series today!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Great ending to a great series. I love how much the characters have grown since the first book. This book wasted no time starting the action. I might have lost a little sleep because I couldn’t stop reading. Do yourself a favor, and read this series!

The sixth Morgan Dane suspense title hits close to home. Lincoln Sharp's new girlfriend true-crime writer Olivia Cruz disappears with no warning. She and Sharp had been taking their time with their relationship since both were pretty set in their ways and wary. Morgan and her soon-to-be husband Lance are quick to jump in to help Sharp.

With nowhere to start their investigation, they try to learn what she was working on for her next book. Attempts to contact her agent and publisher are stalled since she disappears on a weekend. They do learn that she was working on two possible criminal cases. The first was a man who was convicted of killing a young woman and suspected of killing five more but their bodies weren't found. The second was a case of a man convicted of murdering his wife despite his story of a home invasion. 

That second case hits close to home when the man's mother makes an appointment with Morgan to see if she will be the lawyer for an appeal. Morgan doesn't take the case because something feels wrong about it to her. Minutes later her would-be client commits suicide outside her office.

We also gets scenes starring Olivia where we see her kidnapped and see her imprisoned in a cold, damp, underground room which exacerbates her asthma and leaves us thinking that the asthma could kill her before the kidnapper does. 

Meanwhile, there's domestic drama too as Morgan's three young daughters are excited about Halloween and Halloween costumes and her nanny Gianna who is underdoing dialysis for kidney failure gets very sick. 

This story was filled with suspense and was fast-paced. I enjoyed it because I like the characters and the relationships.

I loved loved loved this series and so so my customers.  I really hope this is not the last book in this series.  I loved the whole book but the characters are wonderful and I want to see more of them in the future.  I have had several customers ask me to beg you not to stop this series

I’ve read all of Melinda’s books so far and loved them all and Save Your Breath is another 5 star read! 
I just love the Lance and Morgan  and Lincoln Sharp series! I this latest book Sharps girlfriend Olivia get kidnapped and with all clues leading to dead ends you are literally left on the edge of your seat as time runs out and you can really feel Sharp’s desperation and fear that he will never see Olivia again. I was hooked the whole way through and I didn’t guess the kidnapper which is always a bonus! I’m Hoping this won’t be the last of the Morgan Dane series!

Thanks as always to NetGalley and Melinda Leigh for the arc of Save Your Breath my review is honest and unbiased.

Morgan Dane and her fiance Lance Kruger have been asked to help out their fellow partner Lincoln sharp, when his girlfriend, Olivia Cruz has failed to show up to take her mother to a doctors appointment. Lincoln feels in his gut that something is not right with Olivia. He and Lance goes to her house to see if they can get any clues as where she could be, but on the surface, everything looks like she just left for an appointment. But Lincoln knows Olivia, and finds clues that she might have been taken against her will. As the trio dig into Olivia's cold case research as she is a  true-crime writer, they feel like there might be a connection to her cases and disappearance. As they dig deeper, someone is keen on keeping them from finding a truth, when someone sets up a bomb at their office.

Could a connection exist between Olivia research and Morgan's past client who committed suicide?
Well now this is the first time I've started a review off this way but then again there's a first time for everything and time is running.
We need to find Olivia alive and PI Lance and Morgan are racing against time for answers. Those answers may just put both of them in dire straits.
The consequences couldn't be higher as this fast paced action begins to unfold.
Will Olivia be found in time and will she be found alive?
Read on and enjoy....

In this latest book of the Morgan Dane series, the focus is less on Morgan and more on Sharp -- the PI who works with Morgan and Lance in a variety of cases.  The story opens with the kidnapping of Sharp's new love interest, Olivia Cruz, and the plot is split between Olivia's struggle to survive & escape, and the search for her by a desperate Sharp.  The mystery unfolds with very little being given away about who is behind the kidnapping and where Olivia is being held.  In their investigation, Morgan, Lance, & Sharp discover that Olivia was following some leads for her new true crime book about a past murder and some tainted evidence.  During their search for Olivia, the group also uncover a survivalist/militia group dealing in arms and money.  Adding to the excitement is the illness of Gianna, the au pair of Morgan's kids.  All of the stress causes Morgan and Lance to consider postponing their wedding, but the girls insist that the ceremony happen as planned, backed by Gianna and their entire family.  Can a single mom and defense attorney make a relationship work with a single private investigator?  Only time will tell.

Love Morgan And Lance. Great story about family members you get to pick. Plus a kidnaping and murder. Also, love Olivia and Sharp together.

And so now we must say goodbye to Morgan Dane and Sharp Investigations. Bear in mind that when I say Morgan Dane I mean Morgan, her three girls, Gianna, and Grandpa and Sharp Investigations includes Lincoln, Lance, and Lance’s mom, Jenny Kruger, and now we have to include Lincoln’s lady friend, Olivia Cruz. For the first time since I started reviewing books, I must tread lightly. I want so badly to say something that would spoil the book for someone else, but I promise to try my best not to do so.

If you have to bring a series to an end, this is the way to do it.  That makes me want to ask, why do you have to bring a series to an end?  The clients of Morgan Dane, Esq. and Sharp Investigations are going to go on and on and with all of her clinics, seminars, and studies on the subject of crime, surely Melinda Leigh could find a way to write more stories about Morgan Dane, Attorney at Law, and Sharp Investigations. I’m not ready to say goodbye, so much more could happen. But then I don’t get to make that decision.

I was into this book from the beginning.  Olivia Cruz, Lincoln’s lady friend, is returning home from a visit with her parents, quite late and trouble awaits.  The next day, Olivia’s mother calls Lincoln to find out if he knows why Olivia didn’t come pick her up for her doctor’s appointment that morning. Lincoln and Lance go to Olivia’s house to see if she is sick or hurt.  Olivia made it home from her parents but then it appears she left again. Did she leave on her own or was it under coercion? It is at this point Lincoln loses his objectivity. Unfortunately, as a police officer and private investigator, he has seen too many cases where a person went missing and it didn’t end well.

While Lincoln and Lance are at Olivia’s house trying to determine what happened to her they find signs that she did not leave willingly. The cover on her bed is strewn all over the bedroom, very uncharacteristic of Olivia, one of her fingernails is broken off in the facing of the garage door,  along with some blood smeared on the facing. Then they find a set of earrings scattered on the garage floor. But why, who, where? They know the when because they know when she last talked to Lincoln. Why did she leave, was she meeting someone she needed to talk to for her book? Was she forced to leave? 

The end of this one will surprise you and if you are like me you will see parts that need another book to flesh out.  Personally, I think Morgan Dane and crew should be recurring characters. C’mon Melinda, write about them now and then. The heck with your publisher, after reading this book we know what publishers can be capable of doing. We want to read interesting books and you definitely write interesting books.

This new Morgan Dane book was intense! There was so much happening! The ending was perfect though. The girls are so cute! Sharp’s girlfriend Olivia is kidnapped and we see a whole new side to Sharp. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! I’d give this book more stars I’d I could! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review - 
I have loved every book Melinda has written - 
Olivia is writing a true crime book when she disappears.  Her boyfriend begins digging to see what Olivia was researching and he finds two murders and a suicide.
Is this the connection to Olivia's disappearance and - 
Will they find Olivia in time?
