What she doesn't know is that the house belongs to Jax Stone, one of the most highly coveted heart throbs of the music industry. Sadie isn't easily flustered by Jax's celebrity status, but instead finds his personality appealing. Jax isn't what you think a teen rock star would be like. He isn't cocky or conceited. Tired of women always clamouring for his affections, Jax is taken by Sadie and her more mature ways.
In Abbi Glines' first book in the Sea Breeze series, BREATHE is a refreshing taste of New Adult featuring two teens who are mature than most their age. Both Sadie and Jax have experienced things that most teens haven't had which sets them apart from the crowd. This is actually what brings these two together and I thought it was done in a very believable way.
Their romance, however, is swift. I would have liked to see it slow down a little more and explore the minor love triangle. There is another boy who is intrigued by Sadie. He works with her, taking her home after their shifts. Although he never really had a chance, I would have loved to read more of that in the story.
BREATHE is a promising start to the Sea Breeze series. With an endearing, admirable heroine and a rock star hero, this book has the perfect formula for a winning book!
Book Summary
In the shore town of Sea Breeze, Sadie discovers that fame is nothing in the face of passion. A steamy read from bestselling author Abbi Glines.
Sadie White’s summer job is at the beach, but she won’t be working as a lifeguard. Since her mom is pregnant and refuses to work, Sadie will be taking over as a domestic servant for a wealthy family on a nearby island.
When the family arrives at their summer getaway, Sadie is surprised to learn that the owner of the house is Jax Stone, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world. If Sadie were normal—if she hadn’t spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house—maybe she’d be excited about working for a rock star. But she’s not.
Even though Sadie isn’t impressed by Jax’s fame, he is drawn to her. Everything about Sadie fascinates Jax, but he fights his attraction: Relationships never work in his world, and as badly as he wants Sadie, he believes she deserves more. Yet as the summer stretches on, Jax’s passion leaves him breathless—and Sadie feels like the only source of oxygen.
Can their love overcome the disparity in their lifestyles? One breath at a time, they’re going to find out…
For ages 17 and up.
