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.

Really good

This was a fairly good wrap up of the story of Evan and Emma. I felt I few things weren't entirely wrapped up, for instance the Jonathon thing, it felt rushed. But overall I really enjoyed it. I liked the flip between Evan and Emma's P.O.V in the span of a conversation. I liked that they started Emma off on the path to becoming her mother, that was a nice touch. It was a really sweet story and kept me invested the entire time. I also thought the narrator did a phenomenal job switching between playing Evan and then Emma. I was never confused on who's P.O.V I was in.

Add This to Your Favorites!

This is an emotionally charged series that follows a courageous young woman from high school through college. She finds strength in friendship and love becoming an amazing adult. The entire series is so well written and narrated. You'll get lost in the story and not want to stop listening.

I review for GUILTY INDULGENCE BOOK CLUB.

Love it!

You have to read this if you have read the other to! What a great series! And worth your time!!

Five Star Entertainment

Would you consider the audio edition of Out of Breath to be better than the print version?

I loved this series from the first page of the first book to the last page of the third book. I spent much of this series crying but then I am more emotional than most people. I enjoyed the audio versons because if I had been reading I would have lost my place over and over due to my tears.

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

I would not compare this series to any other that I have ever read or heard because of the insight the author had about a sensitive subject. The characters were so well written that I felt a personal affinity with each and every one of them. Each book left me anxious to start the next one and the ending of this the last book in the series tued up all loose ends and made me feel comfortable about moving on to another book in another genre.

What about Kate Rudd’s performance did you like?

Kate Rudd did an excellent performance when portraying each character. It was easy to tell from her voice which character was speaking as the books are all written in the first person. This can be difficult to maintain for every character in a book but Kate Rudd made the transition seamlessly.

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

I had to take breaks from time to time due to the reality of my daily life and by the time I finished this one I realized I could not have listened to any one of them in one sitting due to the extreme emotions invoked.

Any additional comments?

At some point in time I will revisit these books and listen all over again. For me, the second time is sometimes better after I have listened to several other books in several different genres. These books are not for the soft hearted or for anyone other than mature adults. I loved them all!!

A must read series!

I loved this series! I could listen to it over and over again. I didn't want it to end

Loved it!

This book will keep you entranced and breathing heavily. I could barely put it down...

Good.....but frustrating

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This story has it's good point's and bad point's but overall it is worth listening to.

A good ending to Emma and Evan's story

Any additional comments?

I am glad that I did not listen bad reviews of this book. In this last installment of the series, Emma grew in to her own person. She learned to forgive herself and live/look forward to the future and not in the past. I love Evan. He has always been in love with Emma. I am glad that they worked things out. I like the fact that when I saw each other again, they took things slow and tried to work on what was wrong with their relationship instead of just dive in and get back to where they were. I agreed with other reviews that Emma's friends babied her too much. There's so much of eggshell one can walked on. All in all, this book gave me closure to this series.

I loved the entire series!

In all honesty, Emma cause me so much frustration, but I understood somewhat of where she had been coming from so her actions/decisions MADE SENSE for the story. I'm very happy with the twist and turns. Listen to all three within the week!

Could not put down

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Oh I did immediately! Excellent narrator, story, and heart-pounding emotion.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters, the relationship.

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

As great as the rest if the series.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Addictive series, hard to put down. Emotionally draining!! I did laugh a little though.
