STANDALONE, FULL-LENGTH NOVEL. HEA ENDING, NO CLIFFHANGERS.
How did my life get so broken? It’s a question Lacey St. James asks herself every day. Stuck raising her little brother in a trailer park while she works a dead end job at a grocery store, she has a stalker exboyfriend, a bad reputation, and no way out.
And then she meets Everett, whose presence changes her entire existence.
Everett is an outsider to her small community, in town for the summer housesitting one of the grand mansions off the Mississippi coast. When he saves her in a bar one night, she’s grateful but wary of his intentions. Lacey doesn’t trust most men in her life, but for reasons Lacey can't understand, Everett is completely captivated by her. He’s determined to show her that life can offer more than she’d ever hoped for, if only she believes in herself. As she works with him to free herself, Lacey desperately yearns to trust him, to move on and perhaps start fresh.
But what happens when she finds out that everything he’s told her about himself was a lie?
Kassiah: I really loved this book. I loved the way that Everett and Lacey fell in love and the way their relationship developed. They had great chemistry, and I loved him so much.
“Lacey, if you say no, then I’ll walk away and still be your friend tomorrow.” He stroked my cheek again. “But please say yes.”
This story deals with some seriously heartbreaking topics. There were some things that I didn’t like, mainly the fact that Lacey drove me completely crazy at times. Also, I thought things were wrapped up a little too neatly in the end. But I really hope that Fawkes is going to continue this story with some of the other characters we were introduced to.
A good read for all new adult fans, Sara Fawkes’s Breathe Into Me is filled with angst and love and romance.
