Breathe (Sea Breeze 1) - Abbi Glines

Sadie White's summer job isn't going to be on the beach life-guarding or working at rental booths like most kids her age. With her single mother's increasing pregnancy and refusal to work, Sadie has to take over her mother's job as a domestic servant for one of the wealthy summer families 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 hadn't spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house she might have been normal enough to be excited about working for a rock star.

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. Relationship's never work in his world and as badly as he wants Sadie, he believes she deserves more. By the end of the summer, Jax discovers he can't breathe without Sadie.

But can their love overcome the disparity in their lifestyles? Or will they have to learn how to without each other breathe again?

This was the 4th Abbi Glines book that I've read and it's the first one I absolutely could not put down. Every blog review of all of her books has been so head over heels in love with her that I was starting to think there was something wrong with me...I thought The Vincent Boys was good but I could not stand Lana so I didn't enjoy The Vincent Brothers. Unfortunately, I read Because of Low before Breathe because I didn't know they were a series (just an amazon suggestion) and I liked it but again didn't love it.

I loved this book. Even though I knew what the end result would be, I couldn't help myself from wanting to know how they got there. I didn't even want to like Sadie at first because I got the wrong impression from reading Marcus' story first.

However, I wound up really liking Sadie. I thought her character was well written and I felt like I understood what she was thinking. I of course loved Jax...who wouldn't love a rock star that's nice to little kids!?! I also got to put some pieces together from Because of Low. All in all, good summer read!
