~It was as if he and I were parallel in this one singular moment.~Among the many things Christina Lee excels in, she is the queen of the romantic build-up. Now on her third novel, she has mastered this craft and I relish in every second of it! She builds anticipation, teasing you at every turn, and when you finally get a release (metaphorically speaking), it’s a momentous occasion. She writes with such finesse that, just like her series title, you are left barely breathing. It’s utterly impossibly to not fall unequivocally in love and lust with the characters, unsure of where their life ends and yours begins. This, folks, is the sign of a phenomenal author. To pull you into the story, feeling the feels, experiencing everything alongside the characters. I want to move into their world and never leave!~We were pouring ourselves into each other. Like we were filling each other up before becoming empty again.~Kai and Rachel are lifelong friends, always dancing on the precipice of what if. Rachel goes through something pretty traumatic and though Kai is by her side, it simply isn’t meant to be…then. I don’t even know where to begin with Kai. He was simply swoon wrapped in sexy topped with piercings. MANY piercings. His character has to be without a doubt one of my most favorite I’ve ever read. There wasn’t one single aspect of him that I didn’t absolutely adore. And when he turned that magic towards Rachel, it was impossible to look away. These were such well written characters, and I reveled in every word, every scene, every touch. You’ll be hard pressed to find a couple with such chemistry as these two!~She was a contradiction beneath my touch.~It’s hard to fully explain what one of Lee’s books does to me; the range of emotions that I feel. From the giddiness of introductions to the romanticism of the cat and mouse game to the inevitable conclusion; it’s a journey through the finest that the NA genre has to offer and she’s definitely earned her spot amongst the best.  Out of all three in the series, Whisper To Me quickly became my favorite. This is a series I will recommend to everyone and one I cannot wait to read again!~Into my heart. Into my world. Into my soul.~
