What an emotionally charged heart wrenching story! I have read a couple of instalments in Anything He Wants series and loved those also. Breathe Into Me has taken my breath away, Sara Fawkes certainly knows how to tell a romance. The characters were fantastic, with realistic issues, horrible back stories and lovely romance. I certainly felt for poor Lacey, who never seemed to catch any good luck.Lacey St James is a 19 year old that has been living in agony torment for the past 4 years. Being known around the small town of Oyster Cove as trailer trash isn’t something she wanted and definitely wants to high tail it out of there quick smart. But meeting the most handsome boy she’s ever seen has changed her perspective on that.Being in a relationship with Macon Gautier hasn’t been ideal, but he offered a safe escape from her Grandmother and her drunk Mother. Only thing is that Macon isn’t safe himself, as the days go by, Macon is getting rougher on her and decides he wants to share her. That’s the last straw for Lacey and she tries to run.Working two jobs, trying to help her broken family survive, Lacey knows it’s her only way out. Macon has other ideas though and comes looking for her. With her jobs not very secure, can she survive long enough to find something more permanent?Everett Ward is certainly interested in Lacey, but what does he really want? Lacey knows men are always after only one thing and if they offer help, always want something in return. Can’t she trust him?Lacey has decided passing her GED will open up more job opportunities, only thing is that it has been two years since she left school. Everett has offered to help her study and it will also give him the opportunity to get to know Lacey more.It appears they have secrets in common and Lacey is really starting to like Everett; especially when she needs him the most. Trying not to physically get involved with him is harder than she thought though, because knowing if that happens he will leave her. What has happened to Lacey that she cannot trust a boy to stick around?With Macon still fighting for revenge, her Grandmother accusing her of being a tramp and even her own Mother not supporting her; Lacey feels all alone. Realising she has friends she didn’t know existed is the only relief she finds, but can Everett and Lacey share their secrets?Follow Lacey as she discovers love, betrayal, romance, that gentlemen are out there and who she can trust. Breathe Into Me had me crying along with Lacey throughout her horrible ordeals and laughing when Clare is found in the closet. This is certainly a fun, horribly sad and uplifting read all at once. I highly recommend this to all new adult readers.
