Breathless by Rachel Brookes

4.0

*I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.


I'm going to start this review by saying that Tate and Savannah frustrate me beyond belief! Truth be told I kinda love it but it doesn't make it any less frustrating. These two are a train wreck of emotions sometimes but watching them find their path in life together is so much fun. Sometimes it's agonizing fun but overall, it's still fun.

Breathless is told from Tate's point of view which is kind of intense and sometimes insane but it totally works. Tate went from resident womanizing, bad boy to loyal boyfriend and daddy-to-be almost overnight in Just Breathe, leading to some pretty turbulent emotions for him. I was nervous about how he was going to take Sav's sudden (but somewhat brief) departure so I was a bit nervous to read what was in store for him. I wasn't disappointed. Tate and Sav, albeit slowly, are learning about each other and themselves while they somewhat flounder around in their blooming relationship. It isn't without many bumps and roadblocks popping up all over the place, either. Between an unexpected pregnancy, crazy exes, and a whole lot of stubborn thrown around, Breathless was full of all kinds of drama.

I enjoyed seeing Tate's perspective, especially what he thought of Savannah and their relationship. I especially found it endearing that he referred to their baby as "JellyBean". I was also glad we didn't lose any of my favorite secondary characters. Yes, Tanzi, Jack, and Mr. Davenport were along for the ride. Tate is learning to grow up and face his past and I'm excited to see what happens in the next installment of this series. Especially after such a rough ending! (I'm looking at you, Rachel) Anyways, Breathless was packed with a punch and Rachel Brookes definitely delivered with that title...this book literally left me breathless.
