Wow!! I completely fell in love with Breathless and the Firelight series all over again. I really hope this isn't the last mini story I ever see from this awesome trilogy but even if it is, so amazing.Az who we were introduced to in the Firelight Trilogy as Jacinda's best friend is now the main character in this amazing short story. Az and her family are on a family vacation to prepare Az for her year length tour she will be experiencing the following year. While her family is wary about Az's adventure in the human world they show her reluctant trust that she will be alright.One day at Az's favorite part of the lake she goes for a long swim, allowing her draki skin to come out and play. She loves the feel of the water and watching the fish. While enjoying the moment she feels something in the water and realizes she isn't alone anymore, there are humans in there with her. Staying low in the water she prepares to stay under until the group leaves. Watching them as they swim she hones in on Tate, a boy with great swimming abilities and an amazing drop dead gorgeous body. When a girl hits her head and begins to drown it's up to Az to save the day, and come face to face with a boy who will make her feel out of control and completely wanted. Will Az choose fear and stay with what she has always known or will she choose to fight for what she wants? Love.I seriously loved this short story. I loved how it was broken up to show what happened after that summer and gave me a glimpse of what the future would bring. Az is very different than Jacinda but they are still great friends from what you can tell from Az's thoughts. Az is shy and fearful of the human world around her. She has never felt special, that is until she meets Tate. While struggling with her emotions around this one of a kind swimming hottie she knows that she has feelings for him. Tate is super sexy and has that vulnerability to him that makes him even more appealing.All in all, if you are a huge fan of the Firelight Trilogy you NEED NEED NEED to read this short story. It really brought me closer to Az as a character and made me love her all the more. Breathless definitely made me want to reread the entire Firelight trilogy all over again. I really am hoping there are more stories, but like I said if not I still loved this amazing novella from Sophie Jordan. She has such a way of creating worlds and making draki's sound so amazing and completely wonderful. Sophie Jordan also put a  great message in there: Face your fears!
