Cover Release: Breathe Again (Breathe #3) by Rachel Brookes









For Savannah Rae, the thought of living in her picture-perfect world was almost too much to comprehend. With her dream job, a family she could finally call her own, and the beginnings of the best chapter of her life, she still couldn’t shake the unnerving feeling that it was all too good to be true.

The thought of a life without Savannah was incomprehensible to Tate Connors. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would find his girl in the form of a sassy, stubborn, beautiful Australian. Finally he had the girl and life he so desperately wanted, but he still couldn’t ignore the fear that it would crash around him.

When Tate’s past becomes his present and Savannah’s present becomes her past, the possibility of a future together collides head-on with reality.

In her darkest days, the words Just Breathe provided a peaceful comfort to Savannah from the heavens above. Now as she and Tate go down the path of new beginnings, brutal endings, and the constant craving of a happily ever after, they are anxious to learn how to Breathe Again.









Rachel Brookes is from a coastal town on the east coast of Australia where beaches, kangaroos and surfers roam free. Writing angst ridden love stories with a pinch of craziness, a dash of drama, a cup of romance, a spoonful of sexiness and delicious men to season is what she loves to do. Rachel sometimes forgets to eat, sometimes forgets to sleep and sometimes can’t remember the last time she cleaned her apartment but that’s because she is in a long term relationship with her laptop.  When she does step away from her laptop she can be found taking too many photos, making scrumptious cocktails, laughing at Adam Sandler movies and spending her time with her amazing family. Having released Just Breathe and Breathless in 2013, Rachel is looking forward to a busy 2014 with the upcoming release of Breathe Again, the final book in The Breathe Series and many other books planned she can’t wait to continue this crazy ride.

    Binding Arbitration by Elizabeth Marx

    Binding ArbitrationBinding Arbitration by Elizabeth Marx
    My rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

    Through the corridors of the Windy City’s criminal courts, single mother Libby Tucker knows exactly how far she’ll go to save her cancer-stricken son’s life. The undefeated defense attorney is prepared to take her fight all the way to the majors.

    Circumstances force Libby to plead her case at the cleats of celebrity baseball player Banford Aidan Palowski, the man who discarded her at their college graduation. Libby has worked her backside bare for everything she’s attained, while Aidan has been indulged since he slid through the birth canal and landed in a pile of Gold Coast money. But helping Libby and living up to his biological duty could jeopardize the only thing the jock worships: his baseball career.

    If baseball imitates life, Aidan admits his appears to be silver-plated peanuts, until an unexpected confrontation with the most spectacular prize that’s ever poured from a caramel corn box blindsides him. When he learns about his son’s desperate need, it pricks open the wound he’s carried since he abandoned Libby and the child.

    All Libby wants is a little anonymous DNA, but Aidan has a magical umpire in his head who knows Libby’s a fateball right to the heart. When a six-year-old sage and a hippy priestess step onto the field, there’s more to settle between Libby and Aidan than heartache, redemption, and forgiveness.



    ~Review~

    I had seen the reviews of this book, people saying they cried.. Whilst I was reading this I was thinking to myself this is a touching scene but I'm not crying. Well I hit one point in the book and my heart was ripped out of my chest, from that point on I did nothing but ugly cry. Because I was reading it until midnight, I have woken up with puffy eyes and a stinking headache. I wouldn't change it for the world. I loved this book. It's was touching and beautiful. It made you think about forgiveness and love. I would recommend this to everyone, but you will be best having a box of tissues handy.
    I have a few bits that I wish were wrapped up, but I am hoping that in regards to those unfinished plot lines, we might get a book from the character in questions point of view. Fingers crossed.

    This Time Around (Maybe #2) by Chantal Fernando

    This Time Around (Maybe)This Time Around by Chantal Fernando

    My rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

    I loved her.
    I lost her.
    But I’m not willing to let her go.

    This time, I’m playing for keeps.



      *** I received an ARC from the author, in return for an honest review ***

    I loved the characters, Ryan is sweeter then I expected, but he's in love so I guess I should have expect it. Taiya is fiery and I quite liked her. Xander, I am so ready for his book..I think he is going to be an interesting one. The best Male character yet. I'm totally #TeamXander. There was a new character "Sephie" I won't spoil anything by saying who she is but, she is a firecracker, I can't wait to see more of her.
    I had complained in my review of the last book about the author jumping from scene to scene, and losing me, I found myself rereading so many paragraphs to try and find what I missed.. I recommended she place **** between the paragraphs of a scene jump, I don't know if other people had mention that too but she has actually taken note and placed those **** in there. I was very glad to see that and found myself enjoying the characters more because I wasn't getting lost and rereading.
    I felt like we missed some of the story, when we jumped from one scene to the next. I was feeling greedy and wanted to know what had happened between them. Thats why I couldn't give it five stars.
    I'm looking forward to reading more of Chantal's work. Especially Xander...

    Must Love Otters by Eliza Gordon

    Must Love OttersMust Love Otters by Eliza Gordon
    My rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

    Hollie Porter is the chairwoman of Generation Disillusioned: at twenty-five years old, she’s saddled with a job she hates, a boyfriend who’s all wrong for her, and a vexing inability to say no. She’s already near her breaking point, so when one caller too many kicks the bucket during Hollie’s 911 shift, she cashes in the Sweethearts’ Spa & Stay gift certificate from her dad and heads to Revelation Cove, British Columbia. One caveat: she’s going solo. Any sweethearts will have to be found on site.
      Hollie hopes to find her beloved otters in the wilds of the Great White North, but instead she’s providing comic relief for staff and guests alike. Even Concierge Ryan, a former NHL star with bad knees and broken dreams, can’t stop her from stumbling from one (mis)adventure to another. Just when Hollie starts to think that a change of venue doesn’t mean a change in circumstances, the island works its charm and she starts to think she might have found the rejuvenation she so desperately desires. But then an uninvited guest crashes the party, forcing her to step out of the discomfort zone where she dwells and save the day … and maybe even herself in the process


    ~ Review ~

    This book was hilarious, I was laughing so much throughout it, it had me snorting with laughter at 1am trying to be quiet and failing. I had to force myself to put it down when I was at 70% because it was nearly 2am and I knew the kids would be up at 6.
    Ryan is a witty sweetheart. Hollie kind of accident prone, but hilariously entertaining with it.. I don't want to spoil anything by mentioning any of the many laugh out loud scenes in detail. I feel like I am not doing this book justice because I am not saying much about it, but you just have to read it. You will be so glad you did.

    Her Viking Wolf by Theodora Taylor

    Her Viking WolfHer Viking Wolf by Theodora Taylor
    My rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★


    When Chloe Adams was four her shiftless shifter parents abandoned her on the side of the road. But now she’s a DIY domestic goddess, and engaged to the hottest alpha in Colorado –- that is until a sexy, time-traveling Viking werewolf shows up to claim her as his fated mate.

    Wait, what?!?!

    Hold on to your seats, dear readers, this book contains two rival alpha males, sizzling hot mating, and nothing less than the adventure of a lifetime


    ~ Review ~

    I picked this up when I had a 1-click frenzy with a list of current freebies I found. I am so glad I found this one because I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't even realise it was #3 in the series, so they must be interconnected standalones, because I didn't feel like I was missing anything.
    I am obsessed with werewolves and loved the different side to Taylor's wolves, the rules of no shift during pregnancy for both male and female, and the heat crazed mating until she falls pregnant. I also loved getting to see the Viking times but most of all, I loved Fenris and Chloe. I can't wait to find more of this series to read.
