Breathe by Abbi Glines

 Reading Level: Young Adult
(4 out of 5)

I have found a new author! The best part is she writes both paranormal romances and realistic romances. I will get the best of both worlds and hopefully both series will be good. The paranormal series is a trilogy with the first book called Existence. The library has it on order. Breathe is the first in a series called Sea Breeze. There are four so far. I'm not sure if the author is writing more. Breathe is on order for the library and if you want to read it put yourself on hold for it because the second book called Because of Low has six holds and I'm sure the people who have read it will want to read Breathe. I'm going to see about getting books three and four.

Anyway Breathe is about Sadie White and Jax Stone. Sadie and her mother have been on their own for most of Sadie's life. Sadly Sadie has been more of a mother than her mother has. Now at 17 Sadie's mother is pregnant and bringing another life into their dysfunctional family. When the pregnancy becomes too much for her mother Sadie takes over her cleaning job that turns out to be at Jax Stone's house, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world.

Sadie isn't impressed by the fame, she just wants to keep a roof over her head and food on the table. Jax is drawn to Sadie even though he knows a relationship would probably never work. Then there is also Marcus, who is also very crush worthy and a great guy. You can tell this is Ms. Glines first book but I thought she did it well and I can't wait to read Marcus's story in Because of Low. Now she has several novels under her belt and I just know they have gotten better and better.
