What could possibly go wrong when a lawyer falls in love with a young woman whose reputation he was hired to destroy?

“Wow, what a breathtaking story! I'm simply blown away by the depth of emotions the author brought out in this book." ~Viper Spaulding

★★★★★

KAMA

I never expected to meet “the one” during my research dates for my thesis. And never, in a thousand free dinners, would I have guessed I’d fall for a smooth-talking, ridiculously hot lawyer with fingers that massage my common sense right out of me. The problem is, his career goals aren’t just at odds with mine—if he succeeds, he’ll destroy my reputation.

DYLAN

I’ve got a one-track mind and it’s set on becoming my law firm’s youngest partner ever. All I have to do is win a case the firm’s president hand delivered to me. Problem is, once I start researching the claim, I quickly realize that to get this promotion, I’ll have to crush the most intriguing, infuriating and attractive woman I’ve ever met.

Now I have to decide which I want more: the goal I’ve been focused on my entire adult life or the woman my heart tells me I can’t live without.

~~~

Second Breath: Dazzled By My Blind Date is a stand-alone in the steamy, Mixed Six-Pack contemporary romance series, featuring smart heroines, hottie heroes, funny family dynamics and quirky, witty banter. No cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

Second Breath: WOW! Amazing writing and fantastic characters. I loved the characters names. I like that Dylan was not your typical lawyer. He as also not quite your typical guy beside say he doesn't have time for relationships. I liked how he was picked to do the dating service. He was the right person for the job. Kama maybe a college student doing research for dating service and even though Dylan was investigating whether she was scam the firms client, he could tell she was doing everything correctly and he was honest with her when he knew that he client was wrong. I loved that they connected so well together and that he found someone he could see as long term. It was a wonderful story. It was very entertaining.

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2020

Second Breath is a delightfully different love story. So used to the typical storylines in this type of genre, I was surprised by it's realistic and unique telling.
Dylan Rhodes is a charismatic and career driven up and coming lawyer.
Kama Ray is a psychology masters student working on her final thesis on how to become a Jedi in the world of online dating.
The two meet on one of Kama's final "thesis" dates. Kama believing Dylan to be the perfect test subject...and Dylan investigating Kama for unethical practices on said dates for his firm.
Either unsure of why they were both so drawn to one another. Each interaction with each other brings them closer together. There is a lot of miscommunication, trust issues, and angst to keep you reading just to find out how these two will work out their differences with such drastically different personalities. These characters are real and flawed which makes the intimate moments have a real depth and closeness to them. The massage scene had me swooning! Kama and Dylan definitely bring out the best in one another! This book is so refreshingly honest in Dylan and Kama's relationship. A fantastic read and I can't wait to see what's next up for this author!

I felt like the storyline was very unique. Kama is working on a thesis focused around dating. Dylan is representing a lawsuit brought forth by one of her dates. During their dates these two have a real connection and decide to date for real. Unfortunately the way they met is going to cause a whole lot of problems along the way. There are several issues that come their way that were very unexpected. This book has terrific characters and a plot that twists and turns as it goes along but ultimately has a wonderful ending.

Fun story. Appealing characters. Good example of how feminism is so fraught with failure to understand fundamentally how the world works. One feels sorry for the clueless women mouthing the feminist platitudes they've been fed. Fortunately, an author can make it all HEA, as the author controls the narrative!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fulfilling expectations vs. following your heart
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2020

“Second Breath” by Danika Bloom centers around Kama Ray (no, her name does NOT rhyme with gamma ray) , who is studying male expectations connected with dating a woman, and Dylan Rhodes, whose professional advancement depends on destroying her research. Neither one is looking for a life-changing relationship, but that may be just what they’ve found—for better or for worse?

This contemporary romance story is part of ‘The Mixed Six-Pack’ series and provides lots of intriguing twists and turns. I love the elements of multiculturalism that enrich the tale, and I thought the story did a great job of unfolding various elements gradually. The premise of Kama’s research is very relevant to any person who has been subjected to the pressure of expectations in exchange for having entertainment and/or a meal being paid for, while Dylan’s dilemmas are familiar to anyone who has to juggle personal preferences and job requirements. Both main characters were personable and easy to relate to, and the story was engaging and easy to read. I look forward to discovering more fun stories in this series.

*Minor Spoilers*
Danika Bloom creates wonderful, multi-dimensional characters. And she has does it again with another of the Rhodes brothers. In Second Breath, we find two folks so intent on their goals they don't realize what is missing until they meet each other. Dylan is a career driven, but good guy lawyer who is assigned a case to investigate Kama Ray, a masters student, for professional misconduct. What he finds is a confident, intelligent, and hot woman who brings out his quick wit, and sharp tongue. Kama Ray is at the end of her thesis research, and her last date is gorgeous hot shot lawyer Dylan. Not like any of her previous "dates". Despite maintaining professional distance she is drawn to him, and he to her. A family secret keeps her from being able to get close enough to give her whole heart, but she is drawn to Dylan because he isn't just a soulless lawyer. Dylan has a major career goal, but he wonders if it is worth it if he loses Kama.
I love characters who connect like these two have. They like to give pleasure even more than they receive. It is awesome to see a woman not afraid to take her desire by the hands, and a man who knows that sexuality is nuanced. Even more, I love that both characters have a vulnerable chink in their armor that brings us the wonderful conflict then resolution.

Here are the spoilers... Love the geeky references, the massage scene *fans self!*, and Danika made me truly hate Rohan (an antagonist you will love to hate).
I am looking forward to seeing more of these wonderfully yummy brothers find their own happy endings.

I was an ARC reader, and am voluntarily leaving a review for this book.

I loved this book! I couldn't put it down. This is the second book of Danika Bloom that I've read and it is even better than the first. It is also the second book in the in the Mixed Six-Pack series.
This book would be great for people who like hot scenes, witty romance, high tension and sexy characters with some baggage.
 I am looking forward to reading about Josh in the next book.

This is a fantastic read! Everything you would expect from a great romance story by amazing author. I love the way Danika writes her stories. She absolutely draws you in with her words and her characters. This book was even better! I couldn’t get enough of Dylan and Kama. They had lots of fun verbal banter between them and they were both determined not to fall for one another. Loved when they got their HEA. So If you like hot scenes, witty romance, high tension and sexy characters with emotional baggage, this one is definitely for you. You can’t go wrong with a Danika Bloom book. Bring on Third Party. Happy reading everyone!!

Both Dylan & Kama have a wonderful connection since the very start, despite her not quite being his standard, and both having ulterior motives. I’m an absolute sucker for the « falling for them despite not wanting/can’t afford to » trope, and oh boy I was in for a treat as BOTH of them followed suit in it!!

Even if the first pages before the story started did promise me a HEA.. boy my poor heart 😭 I’ve considered throwing my phone at the wall on multiple occasions, at a bunch of mess that COULD had been avoided – throwing several 3rd act breakups at my face.. BUT the end realization & the love wins over everything at the end pleased me ❤️❤️ Their relationship & deep love they had for each other is everything.
