Publisher's summary

Out of Breath is the third book in the million-copy bestselling Breathing Series.

“My insides still burned. I considered what I could do to push the torment back into the dark and return to my numb state. I couldn’t do it on my own. I needed help. I was desperate.”

Emma Thomas is hiding. From everything and everyone...including herself. But she can’t hide forever. Her past will find her, and her secrets won’t remain quiet - not if she wants to be forgiven. Emma learns that honesty can hurt worse than betrayal, and the truth may cost her the only love she’s ever known.

The highly anticipated conclusion of The Breathing Series will have readers holding their breath until the last page.

Just finished the series

This is not my usual genre, but I loved it, the characters were well rounded by the third book I felt like I knew them. The story starts out one way in book one and by book two it's does a complete spin. By book 3 I didn't want to shut it off, the ending was perfect.

The reason I only gave it a total of 4 is because the kissing parts as well as the sexual parts were almost unreal they were to over the top.

Because of that I would not recommend this book to anyone under 18. I know people say it's fine we live in a different world, I don't believe that I wouldn't want my children reading this till they are old enough to know this is not reality. Other then that It's in my top favorites.
Oh and the readers awesome would love to see what else they've done.

Spellbinding story

I couldn’t stop till I got to the end. Just enough suspense to keep you reading. There were a few characters spread here and there that irritated me but I understand the reason they exist. I wanted Emma to find peace and happiness faster but loved the ending as it was. Trying not to spoil the ending for anyone.

Great ending to a great series

If you could sum up Out of Breath in three words, what would they be?

Emotional, Romantic, Courageous

What other book might you compare Out of Breath to and why?

Pieces of You by Cassia Leo because of the internal struggles the character endures.

Which character – as performed by Kate Rudd – was your favorite?

It was close between Emma the main character and Evan. I actually loved Evan's devotion.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, definitely.

Any additional comments?

I loved this entire series. It was heart wrenching and emotional, but it drew me in.

OMGOSH! ............ BEST BOOK I'VE READ LATELY!!!

If you could sum up Out of Breath in three words, what would they be?

What a heartfelt book, the characters are so well written! You have to love Emma, root for her and Evan, life is so unfair to her. She has all this complication in her life and most of it happened to her before she was 10 years old! I felt as though I was in therapy reading it, in a very good way! These characters have very good friends that tell it how it is, they recognize a damaged person and only want to help her. I cried, laughed, as some places my breathe was just sucked away! WOW!

Have you listened to any of Kate Rudd’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Wonderful writer, story teller, she pulls you in to her stories!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Each time Emma reaches the end of her struggle, I understood and cried to see her finally have had enough!

Any additional comments?

Bravo to Kate, I wish I could tell her how much this book helped me!
