Breathing Room

by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

[Cocktails and Books]

BREATHING ROOM is one of those SEP books that just fun. Fun because of the extremely witty banter between the hero and heroine. And fun because Susan Elizabeth Phillips can make you believe you are wherever her characters are.

In BREATHING ROOM, we're introduced to very high strung, always in control Dr. Isabel Favor. She's a self-help guru who finds herself without money, a fiance or patients. So in a not so Dr. Favor move, she impulsively flies off to Tuscany, books at a villa and was determined to figure out a way to put herself back on track. But she mets Lorenzo Gage, Hollywood's hot villan, and her already out of control world spins even more.

Ren and Isabel has a chemistry from the moment they met and it was hard not to fall under their spell as the battled with each other. Their banter, wit and sometimes sarcasm drew me to them. But it wasn't just them. It was Ren's ex-wife Tracy and her husband struggling to keep their marriage together. There was a little bit of everything in the book: sass, fun, hot sex and a very believable emotional connection between the characters and the reader.

If you haven't read a Susan Elizabeth Phillips book before. This is a great one to start your love affair with, because you will fall in love with SEP and her style of writing.
