By Kelly Bridgewater
When investigator Gabriel Chavez had his cover blown by an
aggressive reporter, the silver lining was being able to rejoin the dive team.
The downside? Dive team captain Anissa Bell--a woman who both fascinates and
frustrates him.
Anissa grew up as a missionary kid on the Micronesian island of Yap and always planned to return after college. But she remained stateside, determined to solve the case that haunts her--the murder of her best friend and the disappearance of a three-year-old child.
When Anissa's fractured past collides with Gabe's investigation into the tragic shooting death of a teenage boy in Lake Porter, they'll have to put their complicated history with each other aside in order to uncover the identity of a killer. What they'll discover is that revenge has no statute of limitations.
Award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn closes out her nail-biting Dive Team Investigations series with a story that will have you wondering how long you can hold your breath.

My Thoughts:
One Final Breath
by Lynn Blackburn is categorized as a romantic suspense. The suspense element was
there and started in the first chapter after a "family" cookout,
which was a good thing. The writing was top notch. I enjoyed seeing the
different perspective of Gabe and Anissa as they told their story. They both
had flaws and had to learn to overcome them in order to make way for their
happily ever after. The main issue the plot carried for me was the romance. It
was the main focus of the novel. Readers will see more about Gabe and Anissa trying to figure out their budding romance
and their romantic feelings than the suspense. The suspense felt like an
afterthought; the romance was the main leading storyline. Also, the motive for
the bad guy felt cheap. It didn't really justify, to me, why he was chasing the
heroine. I shook my head in disbelief. Overall, One Final Breath by Lynn Blackburn is an okay romantic novel with
hints of suspense. Not really one for the books. Fans of Elizabeth Goodard,
Irene Hannon, and Colleen Coble might really enjoy this novel.
I received a complimentary copy of One Final Breath by Lynn Blackburn from Revell Publishing, but the
opinions stated are all my own.
