Book Review: Just Remember To Breathe by Charles Sheehan-Miles

NOTE: I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for my honest review.
Book Description: Alex Thompson’s life is following the script. A pre-law student at Columbia University, she’s focused on her grades, her life and her future. The last thing she needs is to reconnect with the boy who broke her heart.

Dylan Paris comes home from Afghanistan severely injured and knows that the one thing he cannot do is drag Alex into the mess he’s made of his life.

When Dylan and Alex are assigned to the same work study program and are forced to work side by side, they have to make new ground rules to keep from killing each other.

Only problem is, they keep breaking the rules.

The first rule is to never, ever talk about how they fell in love.

Review: Just Remember to Breathe was a pure pleasure to read. The story of Alex and Dylan and their second chance at love was so hard to put down I read it in just two sittings (I would have finished it all in one sitting if I hadn't been forced to leave my house for a few hours). The story is beautiful and touching and you can't help but cheer the characters on... There's romance, drama, humor and it's all wrapped up in a nicely written package. Who could ask for any more than that? I've been reading a lot of paranormal/supernatural romance lately so reading something so in-your-face real was a nice change of pace. The characters were believable and likeable and the story was immensely satisfying. The rape scenes were difficult to read, but that was a personal issue; by no means was it the fault of the author or the story, but I do want to stress that if you ARE sensitive to that type of thing you should know that it is mentioned and you should approach with caution. I know that there are other books in the Thompson Sisters series, but, having not had the chance to read them yet, I can assure you that you can pick this book up without prior knowledge of the series without losing your grasp of the story. That's not saying you shouldn't pick up the other books... I plan to do so ASAP!

Jessa's Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
