Breathe (Sea Breeze)

by Abbi Glines

Just when you thought Abbi Glines couldn't get any hotter... Get ready to fall in love with the gorgeous Jax in this new edition of BREATHE, the first title in the SeaBreeze series, now including chapters from Jax's point-of-view and extra-steamy never-before-seen scenes!
Set in the steamy coastal Alabama town of Sea Breeze, an interconnected group of older teens hook up, break up . . . and much, much more.
Sadie White's summer job isn't going to be on the beach life-guarding or working at rental booths like most kids her age. With her single mother's increasing pregnancy and refusal to work, Sadie has to take over her mother's job as a domestic servant for one of the wealthy summer families on a nearby island.
When the family arrives at their summer getaway, Sadie is surprised to learn that the owner of the house is Jax Stone, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world. If Sadie hadn't spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house she might have been normal enough to be excited about working for a rock star.
Even though Sadie isn't impressed by Jax's fame, he is drawn to her. Everything about Sadie fascinates Jax but he fights his attraction. Relationship's never work in his world and as badly as he wants Sadie, he believes she deserves more. By the end of the summer, Jax discovers he can't breathe without Sadie.
But can their love overcome the disparity in their lifestyles? Or will they have to learn how to without each other breathe again?

I really enjoyed this book. I loved Sadie. You could not help but admire how she essentially had the weight of the world on her shoulders, but never let it get her down. Her mom was a mess. A. Mess. Sadie was a survivor and did what she had to do, while avoiding wallowing in self-pity. The friendships she made at the Stone home were priceless. I love the "family" Glines assembled for Sadie. Jax had his moments, but managed to redeem himself in my eyes. And Marcus. Poor Marcus. He really is a great guy and I am excited to read his story next. I was little let down at the end. The ending seemed a little abrupt, but overall, I was entertained and wore a stupid smile at many points during the book
