A Reason To Breathe by CP SmithJack & Jenn a.k.a. "Bossy & Smart@$$"When I tell you that this book has it all... IT HAS THAT AND MUCH MORE... Romance, steamy sex, violence, suspense, and so much humor, you'll be laughing for days!!! I actually laughed out loud about a million times and had to "chat" up CP on Facebook just to give her a "cyber" high five! I could NOT put this book down. Every page I turned made me want more and more. I was in fact a little sad to reach the ending and not because of the storyline... NO... it was because I truly missed Jack and Jenn and the rest of the character cast.The story takes you on an incredible journey through love, lies, deceit, murder, mayhem, turmoil and just about everything in-between! I felt like the great citizens of Gunnison County were my friends and neighbors who desperately need my help. Only all I could do is keep reading and hope to God CP pulled them through the hell they were living!!Jack is one of those crazy alpha males we all love to hate at times. He's bossy, arrogant, and just plain old stubborn at times. I can't think of anything else I'd want in my man, well besides an enormous...((bleep))!!! When he called Jenn, Ben, and Gerry "Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys" or when he was listening to Jenn and Mandy deal with Chad... "He said to get Mandy's ass home, get your ass home, and if you went anywhere near Breckenridge he'd have you hauled in for whatever charges he could think of..." I just about peeped my pants laughing! How did Jenn put it.... "A serious Caveman Complex!"Now Jenn... our beautiful, funny, and sweet, Jenn... I completely fell in love with her from page one. Every man wants her and every woman wants to be her or... beat the shit out of her... lol! She's got backbone and that's something you don't see in a lot of your female lead characters now-a-days. She's smart and spunky and full of piss and vinegar. She seemed to have the whole town wrapped around her little finger and me too for that matter!Remarkable supporting characters in Lorraine, Mandy, Ben, Gerry, Barry, Grady, and even (how did CP put it...) that Mayor Hall, douche bag extraordinaire! This cast will forever leave an imprint in my brain and on my heart! <3The dialogue flows very nicely and the pace is excellent. Like I said before, I could not put it down and I'm pretty sure I left dents in my Kindle from clutching it too tightly! It's approximately 266 (Kindle Version) pages longs and for me it was without a doubt one of the best books I've read in a long time.5 stars!
