Review Copy Received by Author
Summary: When the lovely Annabelle from California takes on a job in York, England as a companion for an embittered, paralyzed Chris MacCloud who has lost his wife in an accident, she finds herself strangely drawn to his savage sensuality. But she must overcome not only his deep mistrust of love, which is inflamed by her uncanny resemblance to his late wife, but also withstand the wicked relatives who are scheming for his fortune.
Little does Annabelle know that at the end of this twisted trail of passion and deceit lies, in the words of a song she has written, "what I'm looking for….it's worth every breath." Can Chris forget his past, can Annabelle win his trust and teach him to love again? And can she herself learn to forgive and forget?
Jordan's Review: Worth Every Breath by Suzannah Safi is a fairly good story, but I foun
d it a bit contrived. The characters are fairly well developed, though I found some of the hero’s emotional turns to be a bit unbelievable. For instance, in one scene he cries, not just a tear or two, but a good old fashioned cry, and while I don’t have a problem with men crying, I felt that the author had set this hero up to be an Alpha and it just didn’t fit with my idea of the character. I did love the heroine and feel her character arc to be better developed and remained within the emotional set-up the author has given us.
Ms. Safi could have shortened this book by some number of pages and made a tighter, better read out of it. However, I did enjoy the tale and would most probably read something else by this author should I come across it.
