Gia is a humanitarian that goes around the world from
disaster to disaster,
helping people try to recover. When all along she should
be at home
dealing with her own disaster. Her life. Sixteen years
ago a tragedy struck
her family and she has been running ever since. She
leaves her life
behind, her Dad, her brother Bo and her sister, Lexi and
never looks back.
Now she is heading home after all that time, to take care
of her father
during his last days. Is she strong enough to do it? Can
she ever find
forgiveness? Has the town forgotten what happened?
One of the first people she meets is Jake. He is the
bartender at the local
bar, which he also happens to own. Jake makes Gia laugh
and has a way
of making her forget her problems if even for just a
little while. There is an
instant attraction with these two and Jake has secrets of
his own, but Gia
doesn't learn about them until much later. Before she
knows what is
happening, her past is come apart at the seems and she can
do nothing to
stop it. While this is happening, she is falling in love
with Jake, even
though she has no plans of sticking around after her
father passes. She
just can't help herself.
All the while, Gia is trying to get her brother and sister
to come and see
their Dad. They keep giving her the run around and coming
up with
different excuses. Gia has had it and will stop at
nothing until those two get
over to their childhood home and face their Dad as he lay
dying. Neither
one of them wants anything to do with him and forgiveness
is not going to
happen any time soon. What can Gia do or say to make them
see that
they are wrong? She should just give up and go back to the
Congo? You
are going to have to read THE LAST BREATH to find out
because I am not
ruining it for anyone here in my review.
What a suspenseful tale of love, heartache, forgiveness,
hope, secrets,
and pain. The chemistry between Gia and Jake will have
you turning the
pages late into the night! The twists and turns in THE
LAST BREATH will
make it a very fast read as you will be flipping the pages
like crazy because
you have to know how it ends!! Many of them, I never saw
coming! I can't
wait to read more by Kimberly Belle!
From a remarkable new voice in suspenseful women's fiction
comes an emotionally searing drama about a woman who risks
her life to discover the devastating truth about her family…
Humanitarian aid worker Gia Andrews chases disasters around
the globe for a living. It's the perfect lifestyle to keep
her far away from her own personal ground zero. Sixteen
years ago, Gia's father was imprisoned for brutally killing
her stepmother. Now he's come home to die of cancer, and
she's responsible for his care—and coming to terms with his
guilt.
Gia reluctantly resumes the role of daughter to the town's
most infamous murderer, a part complete with protesters on
the lawn and death threats that are turning tragedy into
front-page news. Returning to life in small-town Tennessee
involves rebuilding relationships that distance and turmoil
have strained, though finding an emotional anchor in the
attractive hometown bartender is certainly helping Gia cope.
As the past unravels before her, Gia will find herself torn
between the stories that her family, their friends and
neighbors, and even her long-departed stepmother have
believed to be real all these years. But in the end, the
truth—and all the lies that came before—may have deadlier
consequences than she could have ever anticipated….
