Review: It was the perfect mix of funny, steamy, and emotional just wanted a bit more towards the end.

Just Breathe tells the story of 22 year-old Savannah. Savannah has been through a lot. She lost her loving parents when she was 10 years-old in a car accident, her high school sweetheart cheated on her and then committed suicide blaming her for his actions. Since then Savannah is afraid to get close to anyone, she justifies her past with sleeping around from guy to guy not doing the “relationship thing”.Savannah moves from Australia to Los Angeles where no one knows her as the “slut” or the girl who lost her parents and her boyfriend. She’s just a regular girl. This is where she meets him…. She meets Tate. Tate is just like Savannah. He has been hurt and has emotional baggage and sleeps with any woman in L.A. who looks his way. Once these two meet things will never be the same; they break all their rules and start to feel again.I really liked all the characters in the book, from Savannah to Tate and all the minor characters. Tanzi is Tate’s twin sister and becomes Savannah best friend. She is totally hilarious; I would love her as my friend! I also really liked that both the two main characters were ho-bags… usually the guy is the “ho” who sleeps around and the girl changes him but this time they both needed help and pulled away from each other. It was a lot of back and forth since they both had fears but I liked that it was different.The first 50% of the book I really enjoyed like a lot. It was a good mix of emotional, fun, and steamy all in one. Tate is super sexy and I was totally diggin’ him. Savannah and Tate hook up rather quickly and I do wish there was more of a build up to them hooking up but I was still enjoying the story. About half way in I started feeling like everything was being repetitive. The two went get close, Savannah or Tate would push the other one away, and they would apologize and say how they never felt this way before and get back together only to repeat it all over again. Tate turned into this psycho jealous guy and it turned me off.Towards the very end the book started to pick up again and leaves on a cliffhanger. Nothing major that wanted me to throw my kindle across the room but enough of a cliffhanger I want the next book.I give Just Breathe (Breathe #3) 3.5 StarsBook provided by the author in return for an honest review.
