4.5 starsRescue Breathing was a great, great story. I have to start out by saying, I did not want to put this book down!!  It was funny and realistic and overall a great book.Olivia Burke just had a REALLY bad break up. Really bad. She has been in a funk for months. Her friend has now talked her into going to a conference for work in Seattle. Olivia agrees cause she wants to see her friend. She hasn't seen her in a while and thinks it could be great timing!At the airport she meets the hot and sexy Owen Maxwell. Owen in a NYC firefighter who is also on his way to Seattle to see his friends for their bachelor weekend. Owen and Olivia share a few drinks at the airport bar. It is like the stars have aligned for these two, because they end up on the same flight, at hotels near each other, and so on. I was so giddy for this couple when reading the story! I couldn't help but fall in love with them. I especially loved Olivia. She is a runner, which I know some people find annoying but I find it realistic. When she sees Owen with another women and assumes he wants her, she runs from the bar. A few times. I get it.Anyways, what starts off as a casual fling, because neither of them want anything serious, turns into more. Owen doesn't want to admit it, but he is starting to get strong feelings for Olivia. Owen has been burned in the past and has since sworn off relationships. Now, at  35 he maybe realizing that a relationship can be a good thing.Then there is Olivia who has had the ultimate betrayal. She was in a 3 year relationship only to find out her Prince Charming was a frog. A real jerk. Owen has been the first guy she has even wanted something with since her devastating break up. Olivia is hesitant with all men. If you add in the fact that Owen was a major player before they started their relationship, it doesn't help Olivia's imagination at all!Following the couple through the months that pass was like watching your own friends fall in love. I adored this story. It was funny, and smart and had a great story. But wait... this is book #1... so is there more to come for Olivia and Ownen???
