Breathe is the fourth book in the Colorado Mountain series. I love this series. It has Alpha male mountain men, strong female leads, quirky towns folk, throw in a romance and some drama and a mystery, it's everything you need for a nice weekend read.Faye, the quiet, shy town librarian, and Chace, the hero cop, have been crushing on each other secretly for over fifteen years. Chace got caught up in the dirty politics and even dirtier cops in his police force. Part of what he was forced to do was to marry a woman he wanted nothing to do with. Leaving Faye to think she had missed her chance. But when Chace's wife is murdered, she wants to help solve her murder, and bring Chace some peace of mind. At least he can go on and be happy, even if it is with someone else.But fate, as it so often does, intervenes. When Faye finally gets up the nerve to approach Chace about a young boy she's seen coming and going from the library. He "borrows" books, spends a lot of time hanging out in the library, but Faye is worried he's being abused at home. He's dirty, and often comes in with injuries and bruises.So with Chace's help, they make it their mission to gain the boys trust, and find out what his story really is. And along the way, spending time with each other feels right, very right.All they have to do is keep Chace's scary father and his "friends" off their backs, keep the county from closing down the library, and save one young boy. No problem.We also are treated at the end by a quick appearance by characters from KA's Rock Chick series. It was great. If you haven't read other books by Kristen Ashley, I would  highly recommend them. They are great, feel good books.
