Review: best in the series, so far.

Breathe, to me, is the best in the series. That said, it could not have been the best so far, had it not been for the three previous books. The men are gorgeous, macho, über-protective of their women. They are not afraid to grab, and I say Grab with a capital G, what they believe is theirs, meaning their women. And the women are all strong, sassy, smart and wholeheartedly into their men. Great stories in the previous books, all leading up to the kicker that is "Breathe". Chase is living with the aftermath of crap that went down in the corrupt police department of Carnal, CO, that resulted in the murder of his in-name-only wife, who blackmailed him into marrying her.Along comes Faye, who has loved him for years from afar. He treats her like dirt, pushes her away even though he has always desired her, also from afar. I can only say this about Faye: you do not want to p**s off the red headed little librarian with your macho male attitude. Did she ever put it back on Chase when he was trying to shut her out with his "My stuff is too dark for you to handle, little woman" 'tude"! Wow! Just when you expect her to dissolve in a flood of hurt, rejected tears, like the rest of us women most likely would, she rips his whole perspective apart and slams him into relationship reality like no one else could!I don't often give a book 5 stars. This one is a definite 5. It now has a place in my "Read Again and Again" category.
