Review: 1-click buy and succumb to the "Tate Connors Effect"
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 9, 2013
A very worthy 5 stars for Rachel Brookes' debut novel, Just Breathe.You know how everyone has their favourite character in "Friends" but you still have a soft spot for them all? Well, that's how I felt about the characters in Just Breathe.I fell in love with them all but my favourite has to be Savannah Rae's hot and sexy guardian, Mr. Davenport!!Tate Connors - I really didn't want to like him as he was such an a**e to Sav quite a lot, but as I continued reading and learned more about him and his past, I found myself liking him more and more. I succumbed to the "Tate Connors Effect", who wouldn't with his killer looks, sexiness and tatts?Savannah Rae (Sav) - my heart went out to her so many times throughout the book especially when Tate came back from NY (no spoilers).At times I found myself shouting with frustration at Tate and Sav, can they not see what they're doing?To put it in their words, they're "beautifully broken".I adored the interaction between Sav & Tate's respective family and friends, they had me laughing out loud so many times.Jack - he is hilarious with the outrageous things he says.Tanzi - Jack's girlfriend and Tate's twin sister, is the best friend we all should have. She says whatever is in her head at the time but she always has Sav's back. I want to go clubbing with her and join her for tequila shots!Lucas - well...no spoilers ;-)2 days after reading Just Breathe, I'm still missing Sav and Tate! I loved everything about this book, the humour, the emotional turmoil, the sexiness...EVERYTHING and can't wait to find out what happens next.Go 1-click buy, you won't regret it, I'll definitely be recommending it to my friends.***Tip** Don't listen to power ballads whilst reading Just Breathe. I did...BIG mistake. Every song played seemed relevant and very appropriate for each scene I was reading and by the end I was in a serious emotional funk!
