Prologue
STANDING ON THE slick, damp rocks
smoothed over by centuries of wind tossed waves, my heart stopped.
Piper wore nothing but her swimsuit and the temperature was cool
enough to make our noses blush pink. Hunger lingered in her eyes,
making my own desire burn through me, the frigid air forgotten in the
heat of a deep ache and longing pummeling me unexpectedly. I ran to
her, embracing her thin frame and attempted to stifle the goose bumps
flaring across her skin. We were on vacation on one of my favorite
beaches of the Oregon coast. A place to forget the insanity of
college life.
The alcove was a small private beach,
free from any barrage of tourists. Leading her over the mess of rocks
and sand to the blanket I had set out for our picnic, I carefully
cradled her body as we slipped down onto it, our lips devouring each
other’s until they felt downright bruised. Hers were bright pink,
full and swollen from my assault as I explored them. Our skins had
turned from frozen to searing, the wind all but forgotten except for
toying with the ends of her long brown hair with unseen fingertips.
It lay fanned out underneath us, a warm pillow for her head.
I’d never met anyone like Piper. She
was the vision of my dream woman, the one I never knew I had wanted;
always spontaneous and filled with a vibrant life force so few
possess. I reached over and undid the ties to her bikini, raking my
fingers down her sides, desperate to devour every last bit. She was
soft and her curves supple against the hard rocks pressing on us. We
didn’t care, we were lost to the world. We could’ve jumped up and
rushed into the aged beach house a few yards away, where the fire
burned warm and the bed creaky but comfy, yet even that was not a
concern. All that mattered was kissing her, everywhere, everyplace in
every way to make sure some sort of fiery warmth caressed the cold
away and our wanting satisfied.
Shivering from my touch, she opened her
hooded eyes, glazed with lust and most definitely matching my own.
Her fingers curled around my blonde hair, as she whispered my name
“Sasha…” before her voice ebbed away and my lips found hers
once more. It was there that I gave away my heart, before all the
wrong snaked into our lives back home. Before all the flighty
decisions and selfishness had sent us spiraling into oblivion,
leaving us broken. I wanted it back, all the ‘before’ and ‘once
upon a time’s’. I still did, now more than ever before. Salvaging
our hearts made me determined, it was the only way either of us could
really live again.

My Review:
5 Stars
Breathe Me has become one of my instant favorite books. I really hope that there is more to come for Sasha and Piper. I absolutely loved them.
The book centers on two former lovers who met in college. They were very much in love until Sasha(the male lead)made a decision that he thought would be in Piper's(female lead)best intrest. He never could have imagined how completely he destroyed her world with one simple lie.
Years later Sasha is on a mission to win Piper back. He wants to make up for the mistake he made all those years ago, and he is willing to do anything to get her back.
Piper has gone through the years since college on autopiolet. After the misforturne with Sasha she has built up walls that keep out most emotions. Sasha walking back into her life shakes the very foundation that those walls were built on. It comes the time where now Piper has a decision to make. Does she go on like she has been all these years, or does she give Sasha the second chance that he is hoping for and leave again what it is like to be in love.
This book is absolutely wonderful. The story has a definite draw and the characters are very real. Alexia Purdy did a great job with this story.
