"You in my life, me livin' in hell, feels like I've been touched by an angel."Wow. Breathe is all kinds of awesome! Breathe, Baba.Chace is sitting alone in Harker's Wood. It's the place where his wife, Misty, was shot. It's freezing cold. Her death was purposefully not investigated by detailed police protocol. While sitting in the cold, Chace hears a stumble and a female voice. It's the shy Faye. Faye doesn't date. She is the town's librarian and Chace has had a serious crush on her for a very long time. However, he had to give up on that dream when his life turned upside down. Faye went out there for a certain reason. They have a chat and Faye offers to listen if he wants to talk about his problems. Chace is far from being pleased though, and he acts like a true j*rk by being mean. Fay is running away.Well done, Chace (I'm being ironic). I'm happy to tell you that Chace did apologize. Well done too, Chace. And then he's a d**k again. Chace, if you don't want Faye's inexperienced fumbling, then think again.Faye is a virgin by choice--sort of. She is a sweet little romantic and waiting for the right man. The man who will sweep her off her feet; the one who was larger than life. When Chace showed up in her town thirteen years ago, Faye fell in love. But then he ended up marrying Misty, the town sl*t. And Faye ended up living in her books--sort of. Now she is twenty-nine years old and still a virgin. And Chace is unattached again and free for Faye.Breathe is another brand of sweet. It's not a sweet that will hurt your teeth though. It's the kind of sweet that will warm your heart. I found myself smiling all the time. Who'd have guessed, huh? I totally loved it! Breathe is an excellent installment in the Colorado Mountains series. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Thoughtful. Sad. Funny. Sweet. Cute. A perfect blend of everything and anything. Chace and Faye are very lovable. I adored to see all the former main protagonists of The Gamble, Sweet Dreams and Lady Luck. Furthermore, I'm always so delighted to see the great cast of secondary characters as well.Faye. She is adorable. She is cute, sweet, and pure. Then again, make no mistake, she's got backbone too. She's...just Faye. "Breathe, Faye." I totally loved her panties interlude with Krys and Twyla--absolutely hilarious! And her cyclone phone call with her mom was so funny. Time and again, our lovely Faye made me laugh out loud. Frak, anyone? LOL Faye was the perfect woman for Chace. She helped him heal his wounds; she got past his scars.Chace. OMG, I'm in a puddle at your feet! I know KA's heroes have their j*rk-ish tendencies. So, this was the same here with Chace. However, once he got past his "bad" moments, and believe me this happened very quickly, he was a great and very memorable hero. Yes, he truly deserved the term hero. I want to go back in time and I'd love to have a Chace of my own who'd take my virginity. So romantic. So sweet and yet steamy and sensual at the same time. It was all I could ever wish for! Simply perfect and beautiful, and Chace was such a sweetheart. Ahhhh, his dark, husky voice is exquisite, that's for sure. Oh, yes, my mind is working. *grin* Chace, please don't be cross with me, however, I have to make a choice eventually. And Tate is the man. Tate forever. When I met him again while reading your fantastic epilogue I was just melting away. Again. That said, I will shamelessly admit that I was in a bigger puddle at his feet. I'm sorry, Chace.Loved the context between Misty not getting Chace and Faye getting Chace. It was cleverly done.Throughout the whole book I was absorbed by the characters and I was flooded (as always) by many, many emotions. Kristen's stories make me smile, pensive and cry. As expected the epilogue is another life-altering experience and a real tear-jerker. What a gem. *dreamy sigh*Kristen, you have done it again. Your books are soul-rocking, intense and thoroughly entertaining. You're in a league of your own. Honestly, there are not enough words to express myself how much I adore your work. With your wonderful stories you're creating beauty in every sense of the word. And I don't speak about physical beauty but I'm sure you know what I mean. I'm already looking forward to reading Graham Reece's story. Thanks so much, Kristen, for what was and what will be!Faye, tell everyone out there that you landed your larger than life hero. I'm truly happy for you.
