Great Debut! Hot, emotional, and addicting! I did not want to put this book down! I kept wanting to read more and more. “Just Breathe” is an amazing start to what will definitely be a phenomenal series!I want to start off by saying that the Prologue is truly heartfelt and beautiful! My heart was smiling while reading it. This book hooked me right then and there.“No matter what life you are handed, whatever you are dealt, whatever struggles you may face, please remember to just breathe. Just breathe, Savannah, because that’s all you will need.”“Just Breathe” kicks off with Savannah Rae, better known as Sav, moving to LA to work alongside her boss/man she sees as a father figure, Mr. Davenport – whom FYI, is AMAZING! Sav is one feisty Aussie, let me tell you. She knows what she likes and wants, and goes for it. And she sure as hell doesn’t apologize to anyone. Until, Tate.Once in LA, she comes face-to-face with possibly THE hottest guy of California, Tate Connors. Whoa. I’m sure feeling that “Tate Connors Effect” I’ve heard so much about! Let’s just say, he’s that bad boy you can’t help but drop your panties for!!! Ha! And trust me, he’ll make you enjoy every second! ;) *sigh* Yep. I’m in love!“You’re the greatest challenge I’ll have Savannah. There is something about you I want.”Both Tate and Sav have heart-breaking pasts. This is mainly the reason they get off to such a rough start. They can’t stand each other, yet they can’t get enough. They literally get under each other’s skin, and keep coming back for more.“I know that you are overtaking my mind. I want you like I’ve never wanted anyone before. I can’t get enough of you and that, to me, is perfect. You are perfect.” – TateTate and Sav are perfect for each other and just what they were missing. They needed to forgive themselves, let go of their pasts, and learn to love again. And Rachel Brookes did a phenomenal job delivering this journey to her readers. My heart broke and healed alongside theirs.“I want to be the one to put you back together. You’ve just got to let me.”“Just Breathe” was all in all a wonderfully written debut. The plot kept me turning the pages wanting to see where Sav and Tate’s journey would lead them next. The secondary characters were very well developed and fan-freaking-tastic! Tanzi (Tate’s twin sister) and Jack were HILARIOUS. I really want to be friends with these characters. They are super entertaining, I promise.Given the fact that this is book ONE in the series, there is a lot more to tell regarding Tate, Sav, and the rest of the gang. The book doesn’t really end in a cliffhanger, but you just know that something is bound to happen… soon. I would say, “Just Breathe” has a “happy for now” ending. Yes, you’ll want more, but it ends in a good place.  I highly recommend you go buy this book!“We were beautifully broken in so many ways.”
