Book Blurb

A golden-hearted mountain man. A nursing tech with a secret. Life and death are on the line—and they’re running out of time.

Shepherd knows what people think of him. He’s too big, too tall and too broad not to be scary. But though he looks like a grizzly bear, he’s all teddy on the inside. He’s dreamed of finding someone to love. Someone who can help him break through his shyness and who he can shower with all the affection in his heart.

Kit knows what people think of him. That he’s young, good-looking and kissed by luck. He survived leukemia as a teenager, and he thought he had his entire life ahead of him. But now, the cancer might be recurring—deny it though he might—and Kit’s world has come crashing down. He needs someone like Shepherd. Someone kind and caring, who’s strong enough to lean on.

Kit’s falling fast for the big mountain man—but he hasn’t told Shepherd the truth. He’s afraid that knowing he may be sick will be more than Shepherd can handle. And now, after delaying treatment, he thinks he may be running out of time.

Secrets can be life or death—and when it comes to telling the truth, they can make all the difference.

 

Book Review

To be honest, I almost shelved this third book in Willa Okati's 'St. Hawk's Medical' series. The topic is hitting way too close to home these days, but I decided to take a chance on an author whom I really enjoy. She didn't disappoint, not at all. 'Breathe Deep' is a sweet, gentle, and sexy addition to the series.

Shepherd is the sweetest, gentlest, giant, bear of a man, with a perpetual scowl and a horrible case of shy. He's never seen anyone as beautiful as Kit, and can't believe his luck when Kit seems to respond to him. Kit doesn't mean to, he really doesn't. He was just trying to take a good, fun, pleasant memory for himself. Something else to help his denial that his illness has returned. Unfortunately, once Kit and Shepherd begin seeing each other, how can he say anything then? And, oh, how I understood Kit's feelings. No matter the pain and devastation that might occur in the future, meeting your one true love is worth it all.

A lovely story for which I say thank you, Willa. I adored their growing love and I liked the way you handled the drama. It didn't overwhelm me, but let me see the hurt and pain, while also showing the miracle of love. A wise man once told me "love fixes all", and I choose to believe that. I can easily recommend this entire series as a feel-good, sexy, and very sweet set of men.
