Leave Me Breathless by Jodi Ellen Malpas

4.0

Leave Me Breathless tells the story of Ryan Willis and Hannah Bright from their alternating points of view. Ryan Willis is an ex MI5 and working in protection at the beginning of the book and decides to quit after his final assignment to go back home. Hannah Bright has just moved into a small town an hour outside of London called Hampton. Ryan and Hannah meet after Ryan accidentally runs Hannah over driving down a somewhat deserted street. When they meet they instantly find each other attracted to one another but Hannah is hesitant to get attached to Ryan as she only plans to move to Hampton temporarily and then move on. Hannah seems as though she is running away from something or someone and is scared to get close to anyone. Hannah eventually lets her guard down and opens up about her troubled past but her past may be more trouble than Ryan can handle.

This book has some racy, open door scenes, which Jodi Ellen Malpas is known for. The tone of the book is mostly light but there is a secret that makes circumstances complicated and gives the reader a little bit of an adrenaline rush. It is a classic damsel in distress and here comes Mr. Hunky and Fit who is going to save the day but it's what you want and what you expect in a book like this. At times, the dialogue is corny and there's one character in the book who I had a minor issue with but overall it delivers what its expected to deliver.
