“I can’t be near him. We were a disaster.” “I still want her. She leaves me breathless.”DylanTwo years ago, Jake and I ended things. Badly. For my own sanity, I have to avoid him. Now, he doesn’t want anything to do with me and the feeling is mutual. But a sick horse throws us back together, and when I’m around him, it’s difficult to be professional. Especially when all I want him to do is put me … I want him to do is put me over his shoulder, carry me away, and finish what we started two years ago.
Jake
Dylan says she broke everything between us last time for a good reason. But now she’s back and my feelings for her haven’t gone away.
We might have a second chance, but how can I trust that she won’t do the same thing this time?
Leave Me Breathless is the fourth standalone HEA in the Arizona Heat series. If you like stern cowboys, steam and discipline, this book is for you!

This was a great series! I loved how we got to see each guy on the Lemon Tree Ranch find their perfect match! I also enjoyed the BDSM aspect of these books! I felt that each scene was organic with the storyline.
Leave Me Breathless a happy sexy second chance romance, Jake and Dylan’s story.
Just like the brothers who live at Lemon Tree Farm Jake likes to Dominate his women, Dylan and Jake have a history but Dylan is also hiding something. A second chance at love too strong people but when Dylan needs help she turns where she knows will help her Jake. A really enjoyable read i read this book in one sitting it was a pleasent way to spend my afternoon. I’m looking forward to what Katie Douglas has next for us.
The fourth book in the Arizona Heat series a second chance story between Dylan Pines and Jake Royston a well written story that held my interest until the end. There is one very evil man in this story also that needed a lot more than what he received. I received a copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing.
A second chance romance between Jake and Dylan. Dylan had a couple of major secrets she was keeping from Jake which would have explained (1). Why their relationship ended like it did, and (2). Why she was no longer a vet.
There was an element of mystery, and danger. The suspense was negligible. I had thought Dylan’s reason for not being a vet had to do with another situation, but come to find out, it was something completely different.
Dylan went from not being able to submit to Jake, to be able to submit after being threatened and scared witless.
I don’t know. I felt like something was missing. Something in the way the story flowed. I also did not get a sense of chemistry or sexual tension between Jake and Dylan.
I liked Jake. I liked Dylan and really felt for her carrying around all that baggage. I just couldn’t feel that connection and didn’t see anything that was really working toward building the connection.
It was an interesting story and I feel like Jake and Dylan got their HFN moment. I think it is a book that you should read yourself and make your own determination.
I just love the Arizona Heat series! Leave Me Breathless was a wonderful novella, that offers the same sexiness the others in the series offer. This second chance romance will keep you engaged and rooting for the mains, Dylan and Jake. Read this in one sitting, which I loved, because I just could not put it down! Way to go Ms. Douglas!
3.5 stars
I really liked Dylan, the heroine in this read and was so happy to see Jake “The Horse Guy” find his happiness!
This short read was full of suspense, drama, uncertainty, secrets and pain. Two years ago Dylan and Jake were happy and then something broke between them and they’d both been miserable and alone ever since. That changed when Dylan comes face to face with Jake after all this time and the pair are forced to confront their past mistakes.
I love the protective, loyal, hard working alpha males this author writes but I have found their “kinks” to be quite redundant. What are the chances that 4 random ranch-hands all like the exact same thing in the bedroom? I would have appreciated some variation to the sexual themes of these books but enjoyed the naughty bedroom scenes enough to mostly overlook their repetitiveness.
This book was a nice addition to the series and I loved reading updates on Alana, Harper, Kinsley and their men and babies! The Lemon Tree Ranch family keeps happily expanding!
Dylan and Jake used to be a couple, until Dylan left and Jake was left with a broken heart. Now Dylan is back and Jake is not sure how to feel about this. Neither have moved on and the chemistry between the two has not changed at all. As Jake works to forgive and understand Dylan, Dylan must decide if she can open her heart and allow herself to be vulnerable so that they can have a future.
This is my favorite book in this series thus far and I hate that its over.
Leave Me Breathless is the fourth book in the Arizona Heat series. Dylan and Jake used to be an item two years ago, but it ended abruptly and horribly. Now Dylan has been called to Jake’s ranch and while she still feels the pull, there’s too much negativity between them. After she tries to explain her actions, Dylan is attacked and her horse stolen. Jake is the only person she feels safe with, but will they be able to work out their relationship issues, build trust, and find the horse thief before he strikes again?
Oh my goodness, this book is amazing! I didn’t want to put it down, and now that it’s over, I don’t want this book or series to end! I absolutely fell for Dylan and Jake, I loved that they got a second chance at love and happiness, and I loved that they were able to work through some pretty serious issues. Dylan is sweet and protective of her horses, but seems prickly around humans. I loved that she finally was able to open up and be vulnerable with Jake and finally share her demons. Jake was patient, caring, dominant when needed, but so full of love and support. I may or may not have teared up when some of the story came out, but loved how they all worked through everything. I loved their passion, I loved the drama, I loved their connection, and I love this ranch. While this book could be read as a stand alone, characters from previous books do play a role in this story. I loved this second chance romance and look forward to more from Ms. Douglas!
I was so excited to read Jake’s book. I loved this story. I always enjoy reading second chance love stories. I have loved this series since the beginning and am happy that they all finally get their happy endings.
Jake and Dylan share a history. They try to stay away from each other but their jobs has brought them together again. Dylan has some bad things that have happened to her in the past. She tried to shove it down but these feelings sometimes have a way of coming back. When she needs help, she turns to Jake. Jake is surprised when she calls but doesn’t hesitate to help her. Will they be able to find their way back together?
I’ve really loved reading this series. All the guys are really good guys who want nothing more than to take care of the women they love. The women are all strong women who realize that they can be taken care of by their men without losing anything of themselves. That’s a hard line to walk, but it works really well.
Dylan, I think, is very strong, and she’s dealing with all kinds of crap the best that she can, but there’s just a lot of stuff built up there, and it sometimes affects things badly. Then there’s Jake, who is a very solid dependable guy. He’s the kind of guy you always want at your back.
I love a good second chance romance, and this definitely fits in that category. Great story and a good way to end the series.
It left me breathless!
Looking for steam, suspense and a book you cannot put down well pick this one up! This is “The Horse Guy” Jake Royston story. Dylan and Jake have a history, but it ended two years ago now there is a second chance. Still, lots of challenges for these two to face with chemistry that was off the charts. Loved the writing, twists, turns and a perfect ending this book was a great read. I highly recommend it!! I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Jake and Dylan……sigh what a beautiful, complicated, angst and trauma riddled romance.
Dylan and Jake lost their chance at happiness after an old trauma triggered drastic reactions and consequences.
After 2 years of dodging each other, they can’t do it anymore. With a litlle help from the rest of the crew they are brought together. But dark deeds are in play and the past is not done with Dylan yet. Will love, support, friends and the law be enough to solve the problems and will Jake and Dylan get their happy ever after?
fourth book back on lemon tree ranch. This time its Jake who gets his HEA. A d we know what the men are like on this ranch, they are loyal, trustworthy and will do anything for the ones they love. Dylan used to be a vet in training and also used to go out together but something frastic happened between them and then they were no more. But Dylan a few years later has to go back to the ranch only to find she still has feelings for him.
Theres a mystery going on with horses and Dylan and Jake must figure out how to get past their past.
I really enjoyed reading this great book. Congratulations katie for a great series
This is a second chance romance with some raw emotion, a little suspense/mystery, and a lot of wonderful characters. Well written, this story has many ups and downs in both the past and present. This not only tells a compelling story of Dylan and Jake but also includes the couples from the rest of the series make for a dynamic world. I received an advanced copy and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
Jake and Dylan had been a couple but two years ago Dylan left Jake and called the cops on him. Now Dylan is called back to Lemon Tree Ranch to look at a horse. She’s really not happy that she has to go back there and when she’s there Dylan stitches up the horse. She had trained to be a Vet but gave that up five years before. When she returns to the ranch to pick up the horse for the Sanctuary she ends up staying for a BBQ. While looking at Jake she gets sucker punched because she still loves him. There are things that need to be cleared up between Jake and Dylan and after Dylan gets hurt from someone stealing the horse she’s taking to the sanctuary she ends up staying at Jake’s house. Will they be able to fix their relationship or will it end in disaster again? I have read all of the Arizona Heat stories and watch for each and every book that Katie Douglas has put out. One of my favorite authors.
First there is nothing not to love about the “Arizona Heat” series. This is the fourth book, “Leave Me Breathless” and it kept me enchanted and mesmerized throughout the entire read. There’s old history between our couple, BDSM, insecurities, secrets, and a major mystery going on. To watch Dylan and Jake work through their history and reconnect was both heart breaking and heart melting with a dash of humor thrown in. This was just what I needed today. It covered all the bases for feels and left me with a refreshed feel good out look. What more can a reader ask for? I was given a copy of this ARC and this is my voluntary review.
I really like Dylan from the get go! Why doesn’t she want to go to the Lemon Tree Ranch? What made Dylan stop being a practicing vet? What is the deal with Jake? What do we learn? What happens on the evening that Dylan takes Betsy to the Blueberry Sanctuary? What does Dylan notice about Betsy the first time she goes to Lemon Tree to pick her up? What is she told that the Vet said? What does Dylan tell Sheriff Bob she did that he gets on her about? What was the cause of what happened? Oh man, Jake is E. V. I. L. making Dylan call Sheriff Bob to tell him something. What is it? Enjoy the story! I know I did!
