4.5 StarsTate Connors......gahhhhhh.  I love him!  Breathless picks up right where Just Breathe has left off.  It is written from Tate's POV.  I love reading books from the male point of view.  It gives the reader a chance to experience how well the author can delve into the male mind.  I think Rachel did an excellent job at telling Tate's side of this story.  Savannah has gone to New York to work and Tate is left on his own, to try and deal with his life in her absence.  He does not think he can make it without her and "jelly bean" by his side.  If forces him to confront the demons of his past.  He hopes that this will give him the peace that he needs to be the man that Sav deserves and the father that their child needs.  He has decided that in order to put his past behind him he needs to find his father and really deal with the death of his first girlfriend.  He feels that if he doesn't do this, he will never truly be able to give himself to Savannah and their child.“I was Tate Connors, man of the night, destroyer of women, and a notorious ladies’ man, not this guy that was on the brink of a nervous breakdown because his girlfriend had left town.”I love the relationship between Tate and his twin sister Tanzi.  They may not agree with certain aspects of each others lives, but they support one another 100%.  She is a key supporting character.  She wants her brother to be happy and she loves that he and Savannah are together.  Though they have a long way to go.Savannah,  I really love her character.  She is also broken.  But she finds that she and Tate have both dealt with so much tragedy and loss in their young lives.  She feels comfortable with him and finds herself letting him into her life completely.  That fact that Tate goes out of his way to make one of the hardest days of her life so special, tugs at your heart.  He loves her deeply and wants to prove to her that he can take care of her.  That he wants that HEA.They both struggle with trust issues.  But it seems to be the hardest for Tate.  With Savannah so far away from him and the first little bit that she is gone, they don't have a lot of contact with one another.  When he makes the decision to fly to New York to surprise her.  What he hopes to be a relaxing trip, turns into total craziness, when a woman from Tate's past shows up and causes trouble.  Can Tate and Savannah overcome their pasts and move forward to create a life together?“If it was the last thing I did on this planet I would make sure Savannah knew I was hers and hers only.”“You are everything to me, Sav, and if it takes me until my last breath, I will prove to you what you mean to me.”“You are so worth all of this, Sav. Every mile I travel. Every penny I spend, every hour of sleep I lose, and every  moment you leave me breathless. You make everything worth it.”Even though this is a novella, Rachel did an amazing job of continuing Tate and Savannah's story and I cannot wait to read Breath Again.  Rachel writes about characters that the reader can connect with.  You feel all the angst and find yourself frustrated, angry, happy, sad, right along with them.  Go and one click your copy today!
