"Guilbeault's tone and voice is reminiscent of European writers Anaïs Nin and Alain Robbe-Grillet."
- Kathryn Brown Ramsperger, author
Midwest Book Review calls Nathalie Guilbeault's novel, INHALED, "A rollicking good thriller read!"
about
A professional coach, a writer and a mother of two young adults, Nathalie Guilbeault has always been a curious and an arduous student of human behavior. She has spent the last seven years as an expatriate both in Taiwan and the United States, returning to the western world transformed by life’s hurdles and blessings.
Human interaction, the study of its intricacies, remains the central focus of Nathalie Guilbeault’s attention and work. With Inhaled, she offers a very personal interpretation of a toxic dynamic in which two worlds collide, depicting with depth and attention to the emotional distress, the traps that we ourselves willingly, at times, place in order to grow. In this romantic thriller, where sex is both used as a weapon and a cure, Nathalie exposes with great lucidity, the dangers of getting entangled with a person whose character has been poisoned by narcissistic and sociopathic traits. Holding a Master in Management Sciences from Montreal’s Hautes Etudes Commerciales and certifications in both business and life coaching, Nathalie now writes from her hometown of Montreal.

In this romantic thriller where sex is used both as a weapon and a cure, with great lucidity Nathalie Guilbeault exposes the dangers of becoming entangled with a person possessing narcissistic and sociopathic traits. As her marriage unravels, Isabelle Duval meets a Nicaraguan man online. Silencing her own intuition, she falls into the arms of hope, weaving for herself a new reality, one that puts her life and that of her daughter’s at risk.
Set primarily in New England, it is a tale of a woman’s struggle to seek stability where none can be found. It is the story of a woman’s blind quest to rationalize the need to give in, to stay, whatever the price, while offering a look into the struggle and desperation of one who has been preyed upon.
