"What went so wrong in my life that I think so little of myself?"
This book gave me all sorts of feels - a wild roller coaster ride of emotions.
There are very little words I can use to describe this book other than WOW.
The spice from this instalment of Pratt's Masked Men Novellas is the same as what we've come to know and love.
The storyline - the characters - the vulnerability...
The dynamics of this book just hit much harder than the others.
In the best and worst of ways; I'm equally in love ...more

Book Review: Hold My Breath by Jaye Pratt
Okay, let me start this by saying: we ALL know I’m obsessed with the masked men series so of course, I dove headfirst into Hold My Breath. Except… I got sidetracked halfway through because my brain is a feral raccoon with shiny distractions. BUT I CAME BACK, and oh boy, I’m glad I did.
So, we meet Willow. Poor girl ties herself to a chair blindfolded and naked (as you do, obviously) boyfriend from hell didn’t help and dumped her and ends up having to call ...more

Jaye Pratt!!!! This woman holds a spot in my heart with her masked men series. They each take a place in my comfort read zone, and any time I am feeling like I'm falling into a slump... ill simply pick up one of these masked men books and comfort read.
Willow is a self-conscious FMC, which is not normally something I go for when choosing reads, however Jaye has done her justice in the character deve ...more

Meet Willow, just like most women she wishes she was sexy but if you ask her she's just cute and average. Her stepbrother Micah plus his friends Jace and Zac however are firemen, the type you'd see in a shirtless calendar so you can imagine just how embarrassing it is when she has to call on them to help when she's left naked, alone and tied to a chair. After that whole ordeal she heads off for her Easter holiday early to enjoy some peace before her family arrives and that's when the fun ...more

5 stars for the book and the spice 🥵
Hold Your Breath by Jaye Pratt is another incredible addition to the Masked Men series—and it did not disappoint. This MMMF reverse harem novella is packed with spice, banter, healing, and self-love, and I was hooked from start to finish.
Zac, Jace, and Micah are the glorious MMCs we all need in our lives. Each one brings something deliciously different to the table, and together they’re an absolute dream. I wouldn’t be mad if this is how my Easter planned out, ...more

Just like the FMC's in these books, I just can't get enough of Jaye Pratt's masked men, and Micah, Jase and Zac are nooooooooo exception!!! 🥵🥵🥵
Fast paced, high heat and a great read. Jaye's ability to have so many similar storylines that are all written in a way that makes them original stories is amazing and this one does not disappoint!
The pre-existing MMM relationship made for a great point of difference from the earlier books, and the MM scenes in the book were very well written (but le ...more

If Jaye Pratt could release one of these books for every conceivable situation I can come up with that would be great. I believe there is currently one left in the series but my question to Jaye is - what if I need a Masked Man Why Choose to celebrate boxing day? Or Melbourne Cup day? Or show day or any public holiday really...
All I'm saying is woman if you keep releasing them I will keep loving them. 5 stars! ...more

How do I get a message to the Easter Bunny to let them know I've been a really good girl?
because 3 masked men fire-fighters... yes, please!
This novella brings all the steam, I even think it's unlocked a new kink for me, but there's a beautiful deeper underlying message of self-love.
Hold Your Breath is a bold, body-positive read that celebrates self-love and embracing your curves. The FMC starts out feeling self-conscious about her body, weighed down by judgment and doubt, but through her maked m ...more

I think I have a thing for masked men. I really loved Willow, she was so kind and respected their relationship. I really like how she had insecures about her body being a plus size girl but the guys were so respectful and helped her learn to love her body. This is hot as hell and I loved every minute of it.

This book does not hold back when it comes to its spice. It’ll get your heart racing and your emotions running with 3 to die for boys and our main girl we’d all love to be. I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a nice short read with all the juice. I can’t wait to see what else is in store with this series.
