Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales.Quick & Dirty: This is a novella that was a fun addition to the Elemental Series.  You get to see a little piece of Nick's life and some of his struggles.Opening Sentence: Nick Merrick sat on his bed and ran his thumb along the edge of the sealed envelope.The Review:Nick Merrick is the peace marker in his family.  Living with his brothers and no parents, Nick has been the one that everyone relies on.  He tries to help his family in any way that he can but he also has kept secrets from them.  Nick has been dating Quinn for a little while now and he really likes her, but he doesn't feel any electricity with her or any other girl for that matter.  He soon meets Quinn's dance partner Adam, and Nick starts to have feelings that he has always tried to hide.  No one will understand how he is feeling, especially his brothers.Nick is a sweet character and I feel bad for him.  He has spent his whole life being something he's not because he is scared of what others will think.  He seems like a really nice guy and a good friend.  He treats Quinn really good and I thought that their relationship was really cute, even if there wasn't really any chemistry between them.  I liked Nick, this just gave us a taste of his story and I am interested to get to know him better in his own book that is coming in the future.Quinn was my favorite part of this story.  She is spunky and has a temper, but underneath that she is very insecure.  She has quite a reputation with the boys and she likes that Nick has always been a gentleman around her.  She has some serious family and self- esteem issues that she needs to work out, but that made her interesting to me.  I hope to see more of her in future books.This was a really fun read.  I enjoyed the characters and the story was cute.  I really enjoy novellas in series because it gives you something to tide you over while you wait for the next book to come out, and this did that perfectly.  I would highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys this series, it's a fun addition.FTC Advisory: Kensington Teen provided me with a copy of Breathless.
