Summary: Exciting Romantic Suspense
Review: Chloe Nichols is acting as a travel guide to a group of elderly ladies journeying across Europe when she literally stumbles over a man while exiting a train in Austria. Though quickly whisked away by Matthew Broussard, ex-CIA agent, Chloe soon discovers that the man she landed upon in Austria is dead, and Matthew believes that she may be in danger. So he decides to pretend to be her fiancée in order to best protect her. Chloe can't imagine that she would be in peril, as she didn't see anything when the man was shot. But Matthew believes otherwise as troubling events involving Chloe occur with increasing frequency. As danger propels them together, fiction approaches reality, and Chloe and Matthew realize that their attraction isn't only for public consumption. Chloe is a delightful heroine, not your perfect femme fatale, but a very down to earth type of girl finding herself involved in some extraordinary events. And Matthew is a terrific hero, handsome and strong, but also with a sensitive side. The twists and turns of the plot are so well executed that it is difficult to see what is coming next. The reader can never be sure until the last page is finished, who is friend and who is foe. For a wonderful read with non-stop excitement, Ms. Davis has penned a sure winner.

Summary: Dee Davis has done it again!
Review: Dee Davis has done it again with a great novel. "After Twilight" was a great novel as well and this is another reflection of her talent. This book is full of suspense, mystery, murder mystery, and romance. Although she isn't my favorite author, so far, I would have to say that she is my second favorite. Those of you who buy this book, which I hope you do, will find it incredibly boring in some places, but I give it a five star rating because of its suspense and just the right amount of romance for my taste. Don't miss this book if you're a mystery and thrillers lover just like me, and you like a little bit of romance to spice up your read.

Summary: Breath taking -- Very highly recommended
Review: Fifteen years ago a beautiful young reporter died mysteriously when she went to the Volksgarten in Vienna, Austria to meet a source. If her source told the truth, then she could have been on the path to a very promising career. Instead, in the moment she lay dying, she recognized the executioner as a friend. In the present day, Chloe Nichols seems to draw trouble. Part of a very exclusive tour, Chloe is hoping the magazine she works for will buy her story and reimburse her expenses. She intends to write about how the jet set travels, but the tour hasn't gone as planned. First it was the cow and then it was an altercation in the hotel room. But her most remarkable disaster occurs when she trips over a dead body as she disembarks a train. Fortunately, a handsome, incredibly sexy stranger immediately comes to Chole's aid, and helps her to avoid the police's uncomfortable questions. Matthew can't resist the marvelous woman who combines innocence with a backbone. His startling kiss, begun to make the police not notice them, turns into an encounter that defies all reason and logic. What began as a measure to be certain there would be no repercussions for what Chloe had or hadn't seen, became something entirely more. He hadn't been able to save Lisa fifteen years ago. This time he won't let anything happen to Chloe. Sabra Hitchcock shot Charles Messer as he disembarked the train, cursing the klutzy woman who managed to get rescued by the man she wants, has always wanted. Matthew is both her nemesis and her obsession. An ex CIA agent turned mercenary, Sabra's a dangerous woman to cross. And whether she knows it or not, Chloe's interest in Matthew places her directly in the line of fire. Dee Davis' marvelous voice combines irreverence, romance, and amusement to create a memorable read. Indeed, Davis strings words together with the grace worthy of a poet, displaying her remarkable mastery of language with every page. Further, plot twists and teasers keep the reader not only wondering at character's motives, but also involved with the humorous subplot -- the bit with the cow and naked man kept me in stitches! The eccentric and realistic main characters keep the reader amused even as the danger builds. Equally remarkable are the wonderful secondary characters, each carefully crafted. Most memorable are the "muses" who can be my travelling companions anytime, except Irma needs to leave her gun at home. Very highly recommended.

Summary: A rivetting drama
Review: Her ambition is to write travel articles for magazines, but she lacks practical experiences. Thus Texan, Chloe Nichols accepts a job as a tour guide to wealthy traveling senior citizens visiting Europe. When she reaches Vienna, Chloe expects the boring trip to remain so in spite of the beautiful Danube setting. However, everything abruptly changes when Chloe falls over a dead body and people start shooting at her. Former CIA agent Matthew Broussard rescues Chloe from a killer. He is quite disappointed that he arrives too late to learn more about the murderer who killed his beloved years ago. However, his informant is the corpse that Chloe tripped over and his quest has changed to keep the American safe. As Matthew and Chloe pretend an engagement, they fall in love, but his heart is wrapped inside guilt for failing to keep his past loved one from harm. The frantic pace of JUST BREATHE will leave readers on the verge of asphyxiation, but comic relief from the traveling tour group eases the tension just enough so the reader can gulp some air. The lead characters are an intriguing duo while the support cast adds villainy, scenery, or humor. With this strong romantic suspense and Vienna, readers will want to waltz to the nearest bookstore to find other tales from Dee Davis. Harriet Klausner

Summary: sorry, don't get the attraction
Review: I bought this book after the glowing reviews here but have to say I'm seriously disappointed. I didn't feel like the characters jumped out of the pages, the heroine was irritating- the author was going for funny and quirky and it never really worked. And the romantic scenes were just plain boring with absolutely no heat. When an author needs to use lines like `riding the stars together' they should just stick to suspense. If you want a story with a good amount of humor, vivid characters and some passion read something by Susan Donovan or Charlaine Harris.

Summary: Great escape from daily life
Review: I bought this book because Amazon.com rexommended to me. And boy, am I glad I took the recommendation! This books is great. I skipped reading Nora Roberts' True Betrayal for this one, something rarely done 'cause it's usually the other way around. Okay, although I do not agree with one of the reviewers, here, (the bad guys ares very clear from the start!!) I fell in love with Matthew, Hurricane Chloe, and of course, I adored The Muses: Charlotte, Willie, and Irma. The three of them kind of reminded me with the Ya-Ya sisters ... no, not the book, I haven't read the book. The movie, I mean. Maggie Smith will be perfect to play cool and self-composed Irma. Also, this book set in Vienna ... very nice change of view. And come on, who could resist a book that starts with "So tell me dear, have you ever actually had multiple orgasm?" This book offers great romance ... can wait to read others buy Ms. Davis.
