Publisher's summary

Sometimes in life you need a little breathing room, especially when your life has just fallen apart. Dr. Isabel Favor, America's diva of self help, knows this all too well. She's lost her fiancé to a disorganized earth mother, her accountant has absconded with her money, and her self-help empire is in shambles. She flees the country to Tuscany, waiting for life to settle down, but the biggest disaster lies just ahead. On one unforgettable night, she's about to meet Lorenzo Gage, Hollywood's favorite villain.

Critic reviews

"Phillips has created a very modern and textured tale: witty, moving, passionate and tender." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Stunningly vivid descriptions and some of her most complex protagonists to date." ( Library Journal)

This is SEP at her finest

I think this book is as close to perfect as you can get for SEP. I love the characters you actually understand why they are doing what they are doing and seem 3 dimensional. It has humor as well. The narration is great as well

PHILLIPS AND FLEMING -- WHEN STARS COLLABORATE

IT CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS PAIRING ❣️The book is timeless and glitters with Phillips' whit and wisdom.
Fleming's voice makes all the characters so believable and true to the dialogue that the only problem with this story is that you can't stop listening! I listened far into the night and almost all day today. All this And Tuscany ⁉️ Her men's voices are so good I thought there was a full cast.
WOW❣️ Just WOW❣️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You can't go wrong with any of Phillips' books. And I wish there were more books narrated by Kate Fleming.

P.S. Susan, isn't it about time for a book about the demon twins?

Laughed and listened every moment I had available

I really enjoyed this book. I was surprised at times when it made me laugh. It was so worth buying! The author did a wonderful job and the narrator was superb.

I enjoyed the characters very much and appreciate the ending.

Entertaining

I truly enjoyed listening to this book. It was funny and entertaining and I would recommend this as "easy reading".

Fun Read

This was overall a good quality book. Typical for SEP. There are some delightful humorous parts to the book that made me laugh out loud. It's worth listening to.

A FEW GOOD PARTS

I finished it because I love Italy and Italian stories BUT this was a book I think is an insult to what I was expecting to hear. SORRY

Okay...

I love SEP but this book was a little too predictable. Just a simple little love story. If you like good love stories then this should do the trick.

Lacked the usual SEP suspense

I felt that the relationship between these two characters occurred too quickly. It just doesn't get you as excited when it comes too easy.

Great as always from SEP!

Loved this book! Whether you’re good or wicked, there’s always room to change! Yay, SEP!

Brilliant!

I have listened to many books by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, she is an amazing author that has the ability to create quirky, funny and charming romances. She can bring out the humor of everyday life, her characters have a quick dry humor that gets me every time. Breathing Room is so entertaining that I found myself laughing out loud in many places. Parents could relate to this story in many areas, such as having children climbing into your bed at night to keep the monsters away, or the joys of potty training a small child. I loved the romance as well, it was full of heat but not in a dirty way. I definitely recommend this story, it was one of my favorites by the author and the narration by Kate Fleming is shear perfection!!!
