I might be a tad obsessed with this series. I read the print version, but I couldn’t help snagging the audio as well. I first fell in love with this series on audio and the way Cris Dukehart voices all my favorite characters and the story.
Save Your Breath is the sixth of the Morgan Dane series which work best read in order so the character and relationship development that anchor the stories makes sense even as each mystery is a standalone.
In the latest, we finally get to see that sizzling attraction between Lance’s private investigation business boss and mentor, Lincoln Sharp, and the clever and competent investigative journalist, Olivia Cruz, take the limelight. Unfortunately, this is achieved by Olivia being kidnapped just before she can release her latest story that has her bothered.
Lincoln is beside himself at her disappearance and is joined by Morgan and Lance to get on the trail of facts that leaves them all cold with fear for Olivia’s life.
I enjoy how this author can ratchet up the suspense and make each case feel desperate and dark even while inserting into the mad race to save someone the every day love and life of her characters. And, beyond that, I love that all the characters on the investigation team are smart about how they do things. Morgan is a defense attorney, but she has training with weapons and self-defense because she comes from a family of cops. She isn’t stupid about proving herself and racing off into danger which helps Lance treat her like a true equal partner on their cases.
This one kept me wondering as to who was behind it all and why. I knew better than to leap to the obvious solution because the author is great about twisting things. It was a shock to me who was behind it, but, of course, the clues were there.
So, my listening experience with the Morgan Dane world was fab as usual and I’m always disappointed when the end comes, but that very end was just the thing to leave me smiling.

Cris Dukehart was stellar as usual. She takes an already strong story and enhances it so it becomes an even better experience with the book. She has a good husky voice for the men and doesn’t go too feminine on these tough women like Olivia, Morgan, and Morgan’s sister. Love her work.

I’m a huge fan of Cris Dukehart. I’ve listened to her narrate a few things. This sounds like something I would really enjoy. I went to add book one to my TBR and it was already there. I guess I need to get to sooner then. LOL Wonderful review.
I think you’d love this series, Melanie. There is also a prior trilogy of books, Scarlett Falls, that tell the story of a few of the minor characters in the Morgan Dane series. They are good, but not as good as the Morgan Dane series to me and Cris narrates them all. 🙂
I can see I definitely need to add this one to my pile if it is still going strong! Wonderful review!
Oh yes, I feel no guilt for pushing this series at you. 🙂
both author and narrator are new to me but it looks good thanks Sophia Rose
I spotted this series when Anna @ Herding Cats reviewed book one and I ended up binging the first few on KU. So worth it. 🙂
New to me, but yes I could read it
Oh yes, these are quite addicting once you get started. 🙂
I’m always down for romantic suspense so I have to check out this series. Thanks for the heads up!
Glad to put you onto a new one to try, Joy. I just love the Morgan Dane series.
I’ve read this author and have listened to the narrator-just on different projects. I liked both of them. Here’s another series I need to read/listen to-I’ve been listening to a lot of romantic suspense lately so this fits!
Oh yes, you are definitely the target audience for this series then, Lorna. 🙂
I loved this one too. This series is fantastic. The narration is great. Fantastic review!
I’m late to the party because this email went to spam. (:
This series is so good. I’m hoping that new one she’s releasing early next year is just as good.
Oh, no worries, Anne! It goes to spam on me, too, even though I set it as not spam. 🙂
