Breathe (Sea Breeze #1) by Abbi Glines

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…

Overall rating: 4 Rockin' ★★★★

I have to admit, being a complete lover of Abbi Glines’ Rosemary Beach series, I was timid about starting the Sea Breeze series.  I wasn’t sure that I could make the transition from the characters that I had grown to love.  Honestly, it took me about a third of the book “Breathe” and I was completely hooked into another world from this fabulous author.  I loved how she developed ALL of the relationships in this book.  I felt like I was a part of it all.

Sadie White was an ordinary girl with a sheltered life.  She spent her life going unnoticed and taking care of her mother.  She had to work in order for the two of them to be able to pay the bills and eat.  When her mother felt she could no longer work, Sadie took her job as a servant for a well-known teen rock star!

“He stole my breath away the moment we first spoke. He's my air.”

“I would imagine in your world, girls are much different than here in the real world. I’m sure if you spent some time with the everyday girl, you would find I am not unique.”

Jax was the most famous teen rock star in the world and for the summer, all he wanted was to escape the limelight and retreat to his private home in Sea Breeze, AL.  No distractions, no paparazzi, no girls……seclusion and relaxation with his family!  That was all he wanted, until he saw Sadie for the first time.

“You're everything I write about in songs, but can never have." 

“You're ever song I have ever sung. I'll never let anything hurt you again. For the first time in my life, my dreams aren't about me. They're about you." 

This story is about two people from different worlds learning their place in each other’s lives.  They know that it is only for the summer and couldn’t possibly last past that….but how and when do they say goodbye, and can they actually do that?  I was swept up in their story!  There were twists and turns and ups and downs throughout the book that kept me wondering and hoping that they would make it past the summer!!...Amber
