Review: Reason to Breathe

Reason to Breathe Reason to Breathe by Deborah Raney
My rating: πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

The start of this series about three sisters were sweet, interest grabbing and easy to connect with.

Each sister was dealing with their own grief in losing their mother and moving on.

The writing style of the author was easy to follow and pulled me in more as the story developed.

This was a sweet story about a family being there for each other while working through grief with a sweet romance developing as well.

About the book:


Phylicia thought life was passing her by, but maybe this was love’s plan all along. . .

At twenty-nine, Phylicia Chandler put her life on hold to care for her dying mother with her sisters, Joanna and Britt. Now Mom is gone and their father stuns them all by running off with a woman young enough to be their sister. Life is moving forward all around her, but Phylicia feels stuck—until her father’s protΓ©gΓ©, Quinn Mitchell, presents the sisters with an intriguing business opportunity to purchase a trio of cottages just outside of Langhorne, Missouri. Joanna and Britt are convinced the three of them should launch a vacation rental venture, but Phylicia remains skeptical.

To complicate matters, Quinn soon finds himself falling hard for Phylicia. But how can he pursue this beautiful, talented woman twelve years his junior when she’s still reeling over her father’s hasty engagement to a younger woman? Quinn is determined to give Phylicia her happily-ever-after. But first, he must help her come to terms with her discovery of long-held family secrets and persuade her that true love can transcend their differences.
