After reading the blurb for Breathe For Me, I couldn't wait to delve into this book. The author did supply an ARR copy for an honest review, and I'm thrilled I got an early copy.Natalie Anderson certainly delivers a fun-loving read. It took me a chapter to fully get into the storyline, but just hold on, because once Ms. Anderson allows the story to unfold, she quickly pulls the reader in.In the opening scene, Chelsea Greene is at her apartment complex's topside pool. She's in her swimsuit, attempting to get over her phobia of water, when an emergency evacuation drill begins. In her swimsuit she heads for the stairs. The elevators are out, and due to a leg injury, she has to take more care making her way to the ground floor.Xander Lawson comes to the rescue and sweeps her up. He's a former lifeguard with an easy charm. He likes women, and is a bit of a playboy. He strikes a deal with Chelsea for some uncomplicated, unemotional fun. He's after sex without the commitment, and as it appears, so is Chelsea.Theirs is a bargain which sees them both finding unspeakable pleasure, until their passion moves beyond the boundaries both have set, and that's when the true magic begins.The happily ever after ending totally fulfills. This is a fun, flirty read, with plenty of sizzle. Ms. Anderson turns the heat up in this contemporary romance, so be prepared for some hot scenes.I've always enjoyed Ms. Anderson's books, and any new releases quickly go on my TBR list.
