Louise Sparks does not question her decision to leave her parent's Connecticut home and become a rescue diver in Colorado, even though during her first cold water training exercise, she kicks a headless corpse that floats to the surface. The mystery of who this dead body is and why he is there begins to consume Lou's thoughts. Lou's boss, the handsome Callum Cook, agrees to help her conduct an unofficial investigation into the death of this man with whom Lou feels a connection. However, Lou's stalker has other ideas about the way Lou spends her time and starts to escalate his unwanted attention. Hold Your Breath is a fairly average romantic suspense with dialogue that seems a bit stiff and unrealistic. We learn some information about the characters as the book progresses, but for the most part, they remain flat and static. Some of the banter does add much needed interest to the story, but it isn't enough to make the characters come to life. The resolution to the stalking mystery is fairly obvious from the beginning, but there is a minor twist at the end that adds a little more to the story. Overall, however, Hold Your Breath is a disappointing romantic suspense with nothing new to offer the genre. no reviews | add a review

As the captain of Field County's ice rescue dive team, Callum Cook is driven to perfection. But when he meets new diver Louise "Lou" Sparks, all that hard-won order is obliterated in an instant. Lou is a hurricane. A walking disaster. And with her, he's never felt more alive... even if keeping her safe may just kill him. Lou's new to the Rockies, intent on escaping her controlling ex, and she's determined to make it on her own terms... no matter how tempting Callum may be. But when a routine training exercise unearths a body, Lou and Callum find themselves thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a killer who'll stop at nothing to silence Lou-and prove that not even her new Search and Rescue family can keep her safe forever.

Lou has made some good friends who and has just started a steamy romance with Callum, the leader of the ice rescue team. But she also has a stalker who has started to escalate to outright attacks on Lou.
Nice romance/mystery with just enough danger to make some interesting twists. ( )
