3.75 starsAs the final chapter in Tate and Sav's love story, Breathe Again was an overall success. It had the romance, the angst and the happily ever after. However, some of the things in the second half of the book disappointed me, especially after reading Breathless .In the previous installment, Tate and Sav had come a long way in their relationship. Although that installment ended on a sad note, with the first half of Breathe Again the author didn't waste any time in bringing forth the connection that Tate and Sav shared. As I was reading the first few chapters I found myself thinking 'Finally, they got their crap together!"They had worked most of their issues out, shared the birth of their baby (lovely!) and continued to love and tease each other while dealing with the different obstacles that were thrown at them. I thought they had made huge strides in their relationship and when tragedy struck I thought that this time around they would have been more than ready to deal with it in a mature and understanding manner.This is where it started going downhill for me. I like my angst and my characters to struggle with their feelings--for me it makes their story much more believable. But somehow Tate just got on my nerves. The whining, the ultimatums, the attitude--it was just too much.Thankfully, this only happened towards the fourth quarter of the book. I don't think I would have been able to continue reading otherwise. I had already invested myself in the outcome of their story and was enjoying Mr. D and Max too much to have to stop then.That little hiccup aside, I think that Rachel Brookes brought it all together rather well. Questions were answered, relationships were mended and new ones developed with emotions galore, humor and some steamy moments thrown into the mix to make Breathe Again a great conclusion to Tate and Savannah's journey to happiness.
