Breathe (Sea Breeze)

Well, the short description is that I loved this book! Loved. It. I am a sucker for romance and Breathe has more than its share in that particular category.

Sadie has been forced to grow up rather quickly and be the responsible person between herself and her mother. Now that her mother is pregnant, she has even more responsibilities and I felt sorry for her and her lack of support before working for Jax Stone. Sadie is a beautiful girl, she is caring, with good work ethics and strong believes between what is right and wrong. Even though she posses all these redeeming qualities, she still fell head-over-heels for the latest heartthrob, Jax Stone. The great thing is that he did too. I loved that he was so caring, and knew exactly what Sadie needed and tried to make life easier for her. The only thing I didn’t like was her reaction after Jax left (never fear, it has a happy ending!), although I do understand it.

I enjoyed all the characters in the book (well, maybe not Jessica: Sadie’s mom), they were well developed and easy to relate to, especially Marcus and Ms. Mary. The story was simple and well developed and the writing was beautiful to read, it reminded me a little of Sarah Dessen’s writing.

I am a new fan of Ms. Glines and I intend to promptly purchase her next books. I know that there is no need for a sequel, but I would love to see what happens with Sadie and Jax next, though I hope the last line is “and they lived happily ever after” :)

About the cover – There are two covers of Breath and I like the one I posted here better. It represents the book so well and it is beautiful.
