About the book:

    Corporate turnaround specialist Morgan Spencer, dubbed the "success guru," has a Midas touch in business. But losing his wife sent him to the brink, and his two-year-old daughter, Livie, is all he's living for--until they encounter a woman whose trouble just might draw him out of his own.

    Four years ago, Quinn Reilly did the right thing. Now the man her testimony put in jail is getting out. Though she has put up barriers to protect herself and those around her, she has come to care for the Spencer family, especially the winsome Livie and her mercurial father. Unwilling to put them at risk when the threats begin, she requests something she hopes the super-successful Morgan might be able to deliver.

    Fixing problems is what Morgan does best, but his counterproposal takes them in a direction neither is equipped to handle. Determined to confront the past, will they survive to build a future?

Joy In Our Journey's review by Jan:

    Kristen Heitzmann in her new book, The Breath of Dawn, weaves a tapestry of danger, romance, intrigue, and love that will keep you reading even in the dark of night.  The Breath of Dawn, the third book in her newest series, picks up with the warm, generous characters enjoyed in Rush of Wings and Still of the Night. I especially appreciate the bits of historical information Ms. Heitzmann places in her stories.

    Morgan Spencer is still hurting over the loss of his wife, Jill and is doing his best to raise their infant daughter, Olivia, when Quinn Reilly springs unbidden into his life.  Morgan needs someone to help care for his little daughter, and Quinn needs to get away from a former suitor who means nothing but harm to her.  Quinn's loving spirit and genuine care for others recommend her to him, but he is uncertain that her past will not be a danger to his precious daughter.  How God brings them together and helps them to form a new family in spite of the difficulties of their past kept me turning the pages of this fascinating book.

    I would highly recommend this book, but feel it is not for young teens, as there are some adult situations in the story.  These situations are tastefully handled, but might not be appropriate for younger readers.

    When you are looking for a well-paced, attention grabbing story, The Breath of Dawn by Kristen Heitzmann is an excellent choice.
