The Breathe Series



This series is the epitome of emotional roller coaster. Like the characters on these books my emotions were all over the place.

In the first book Reason To Breathe we meet the 16 yr old beauty Emily Thomas better known as Emma. After her father passed away she was sent to live with her uncle George and his wife Carol. George an Carol has two little kids of there own who absolutely loves Emma. Carol on the hand had the exact opposite feelings towards Emma an set out to make her life a living hell. 
Emma sought refuge at school where she spent most of her day with her best friend Sarah. Sarah knew a little about what was going on in Emma's house but because Emma believed she was protecting Sarah in some way she never truly shared all the details of her home life. But Sarah wasn't an idiot, she vowed to protect Emma no matter what the cost.

Emma's life changed the day she met Evan Mathews a transfer student originally from California  All the girls in the school was throwing themselves at him but he only had eyes for Emma.  But Emma didn't feel the same way for Evan at first. Evan and Emma spent all of there free time together as just friends and like Sarah Evan silently vowed to protect her with his life if he had to.

But is that enough?? When pushed to the point of no return can love conquer all??



In Barely Breathing things for Emma start off good Til shes forced to revisit her past forcing herself to find the answers to the questions shes wanted all her life. But she quickly learns whats in the past should stay in the past. She finds herself repeating the same habits in order to protect the ones she cared for. and things only go from bad to worse very quickly. Instead of letting the people that loved her the most in Emma pushes them all away. walking away from it all never looking back.


in Out of Breath Emma goes off to college leaving behind everyone she loved forcing herself to start over. And she did for the most part. But all she was running from eventually catches up with her, forcing her to face all shes done. She tries her best to make amends for all shes done. But in order to do that she has to do the one thing she hasn't been able to do with anyone.. Trust 



This was a heart wrenching story about the trials and tribulations of love, and whether or not love can prevail . Parts of this story was hard to swallow. But I laughed, I cried, I screamed at my kindle several times  through out this series because she was so damn stubborn. And although i didn't agree with any of Emma's bad decision it was all worth it in the end. This series is highly recommended for anyone in search of a true love story. 

I give the Breath series over all 5 Big heart wrenching stars!!
