SnakeHell is ruled by a queen.She wears stilettos like a boss, fishnets like a porn star, and carries weapons like makeup.She crashed into my life at the absolute worst time, because life’s a bitch like that. But there’s no way I’m letting her leave.She’s bat-shit crazy, and she’s mine. Correction, she’s ours. Because I’m not sure how long I can give her.But she belongs to us now.The bad guys … I can give her.
But she belongs to us now.
The bad guys are coming, not only for all of us, but for her too.
Her situation I can deal with, it’s our mess that’s the problem.
I just have to keep her out of trouble long enough to fix it.
How do you tame the Queen Of Hell?
You save her.
That’s what I’m doing.
Raven
I have rules.
1. Don’t get attached.
2. Wear the right heels.
3. Don’t. Trust. Anyone.
That all went to hell when my life collided with the men of The Program.
It seems if one isn’t threatening me, the other wants to save me.
Everything was fine. Until it wasn’t.
I used to have control. When Snake got a hold of me, it seemed control took a permanent vacation with no forwarding number.
That’s just fine. He’s handed me carte blanche to use him. I’ll use him alright, I’ll let him think he’s the knight in shining armor riding in to save me.
Beware Snake Priest, the Queen Of Hell will always burn the Priest.
**For mature audiences only. It is a bit dark and slightly twisted, a heart pounding rollercoaster ride right from the start. MFM. MMF, MMFFMM**

Best series i’ve read. Anything N.M. Catalano writes i devour. I am so glad i discovered her books in June 2017 after she had completed a series. No way in hell could i have waited book by book .
Another blazing five star read
Riveting -Dark -Humorous – A sensual journey that will leave you breathless!
I love Snake – out of all the men in the program he is mine!
There is something so dark and deadly about him – He reminds me of a viper-so beautiful you can’t look away and so deadly you don’t want to.
He is always prepared to strike at anything that threatens those he loves-to destroy that which threatens what is his.
This is his story -we finally get the chance to see him –
the real him – raw and exposed
I love him more now than I did before
He set out to protect Rock and Tink – even if it costs him his life He is prepared for every possibility- and he does not fail –
he was trained for this – he lives for this
Well -He was prepared – until that sassy mouth dark haired raven beauty defended his honor in the coffee line –
Now he craves her burn on the tip of his tongue, her claws drawing blood from his veins –
all of his carefully laid plans are nothing but a pile of ash under his boot – and he can’t seem to keep his head on straight – Is she friend or foe – does it even matter? Because -she will be his!
Raven – she is Snakes equal in every way! – Tormented – Angry –
Life has sliced her to pieces, yet she has stitched herself together and like a phoenix, she has risen from the ashes and she is coming for revenge –
May heaven have mercy on their souls because the Queen of Hell intends to draw first blood and she intends to make it hurt
Of all the books in the program, this one stripped me emotionally of all my defenses, leaving me feeling raw and exposed- at the same time satisfying my darker side in a way that only NM Catalano can do
Please note this is an 18+ romance – a little dark – a little dirty – and a whole load of fun – oh and it is an MMFFMFM ( you get the idea? )
Gah, I love love love Snake!!! In Breathe we get Snake and Raven’s story… Its dark, twisted, and a little hard to read but man oh man did I love it!!!.
Live hasn’t been easy for either Snake and Raven and the journey with these two will have you so engrossed in this book. This is only book two in The Program series but it keeps getting better and better. N.M. Catalano gives you a shattered window at the beginning with Canvas and as you get through Breathe you piece together a little bit more, but hang on because you’re nowhere near close to getting it put back together.
Cannot wait to see where Miss Catalano takes us next.
MUST READ SERIES!!!!
N.M. Catalano! This author has me enthralled with her beautiful writing! Her characters have such depth, loyalty, and deeply love. Strong protectors and devotion to whom they care. Most of all they live by their own code not society’s version! Absolutely read this series! In. 35yrs. Of reading very few author’s have had the ability to suck me in that deep into THE characters like she does. When they breathe you Breathe. Can’t wait for #3 (Hawk?) To go on another beautiful, walkabout with these characters! Give must read!
What’s better than a man, who’s been molded into an elite killing machine, and knows how to protect his own? Four of them…meet Rock, Snake, Gringo and Bull, The Program’s go to team when they need the job done…until they aren’t, because this job…it’s not a job, it’s personal.
Breathe is Snake and Raven’s story, it’s dark and hard to read at times because life has been beyond hard for both of our MCs, but they’ve learned to survive. Snake by finding purpose and devotion with his band of brothers and Raven by running and revenge, but fate has other plans. Their dark and dangerous lives explode with color and possibility the day their paths collide…their journey will take your breath away.
In my reviews, I don’t do spoilers and I don’t do story outlines, because, let’s be honest, no one will do it better than the author and NM Catalano does romantic suspense superbly. With each installment of this series the layers of intrigue and danger grow exponentially. Our four warriors are aware of their foe and it’s target, but it’s one of their own and no sacrifice is too big, even if it’s the ultimate. Who can you trust…have old friends become new enemies?
This series is a thousand piece jigsaw puzzle that will slowly come together over the course of the mission. So far, each of our couples (eh hem) have their HFN, but as you turn to that final page…yep, you got it…it isn’t over yet!
PS…that smoke you see…that’s some of the hottest, steamiest, sexiest…well, you get the point, don’t forget to breathe!
This series keeps getting hotter and hotter.
4,5 stars.
This book is part of The Program series and I do NOT recommend reading it as a standalone. There is a continuing plot going on since Canvas, and even though the romantic theme about the new couple is somewhat finished, the main story is not.
This book was suspenseful and there was a tinge of dark romance in it. It was also fast paced, but at the same time there was a lot of things going on, it was whirlwind.
A sexy whirlwind.
If we thought Rock, Summer and Snake were hot, we have another thing coming. And Raven was just the right missing piece.
Oh my, it was even sexier, hotter and more intense than Canvas. So, so good. They were all pure fire, it was scorching.
Raven has a lot of baggage, a heavy one, and she brings it along with so much trouble that it was like she was on borrowed time. But this was something the guys and Summer knew a lot about.
They were all running away from their pasts, but also running towards their demons.
They all had one (or seven) suicidal mission to accomplishe, and fighting them together was the key to survival. And for that, they should learn how to trust. ASAP.
Raven and Snake clicked right from the start, but trust didn’t come easy to either one of them. On the other hand, their chemistry and the pull towards each other were undeniable.
Raven didn’t know how to rely on another person, she seemed to be selfish sometimes, but it was hard to expect anything different from her considering eveyrthing she lived. Snake could be a killer, but he was also a savior. He loved deeply, strongly and he denied nothing to the ones he loved. And exactly that kind of love (along with Summer and Rock’s) is what convinces Raven that is ok to trust someone and love someone with all of her.
We still have a long way to go, because I have a feeling some pretty nasty things are about to hit the fan.
Another hot read by N.M. Catalano. This is book 2 in The Program Series, Stand-Alone but I would definitely read in order to get the whole build up of the stories. This book was hot from page 1. There is no doubt that the sex will ever be lacking and boring in one of her books. The story had a lot of suspense and surprises in it also. Definitely recommend this book.
With contracts from The Program in play the team works to find out who is coming after them. Snake encounters a vixen playing over her head and wants to help her and keep her for himself. If you thought the heat was on before, wait until you read Snake and Raven’s story.
This one is a killer! Nadine has built a world surrounding these four men that will throw your beliefs of typical love out the window. Snake, Rock, Bull, and Gringo are not your usual military nor your usual next door neighbors. Their world is dark, lusty and dangerous.
Snake Rock and Gringo, along with Summer go to an Ink and Arms convention. They are there not only to shop but to find clues as to who is out to kill them and steal Summer for her deranged father. There they meet Raven who is also dark and dangerous but for her own reasons. As closed off as she is, they recognize the kindred spirit and want her in their fold.
With possible enemies around every corner and a headstrong new woman in front of them, there are so many decadent and chilling scenes within Breathe. This one will blow you away!
What a great follow up to Canvas. This is Snake and Raven’s story and it is intense. It grabs you and will not let go. Hang on tight and let them take you for wild ride.
This second book was so much dirtier and hotter than the first book in my opinion. I mean Rock and Snake and of course Summer and Raven! I loved Raven’s smart mouth, she was awesome. I can’t wait to see whay happens next!
I only read this to the 60% and then stopped. It is just not what I expected the series to be after reading the first book. I thought each book would be about a different one of the four friends getting their HEA with the woman of their dreams. After reading the first book with Rock and Summer and their HFN I thought book two would be about Snake and Raven finding their HFN. I don’t enjoy reading M/M or MMF … I admit to knowing nothing on the subject but it just seems that straight men in their late twenties that have been sharing women between them for 8+ years and have now found the woman of their dreams it was odd to me that they would now perform sexual acts with each other. In book one once Rock met Summer even before they were dating he stopped participating in the MMFMM with other woman with his friends, and he was clear that if Summer wanted MMFMM that her P***Y was HIS ONLY. . I enjoyed the story line and suspense of this book and was looking forward to see how it all unfolded with the Program, the Club, and Hawk, but I couldn’t continue when at 60% into this book two in the series the ONLY sex is M/M and MMF between Rock, Summer, and Snake. At this point Snake has only had two interactions with Raven and all his thoughts are about watching Raven with Rock, watching her with Summer, wanting to F**K Rock. I was hoping this would have been about Snake and Raven but so far no, and I don’t want to read about Rock and Summer with anyone else!! Just not for me, I will not finish….
I have loved this series since the beginning. N.M. Catalano really knows how to tell a HOT steamy story. I keep saying there needs to be a warning “Not to read in the public”.At first I thought…Snake, Rock and Summer? But wow! Those scenes..and now add Raven to the mix!
This book is Snake and Raven’s story and full of HOTTNESS and will keep you on your toes. Snake is all about protecting Rock and Summer (Tinkerbell). No one messes with who he loves. I will admit I had a little hard time with Snake and Raven. I think I fell in love with Snake, Rock and Tinkerbell together.
I love all of N.M Catalano’s books and look forward to more of her work! Breathe is book two to The Program Series. You need to read book one before diving into Breathe. And don’t forget Trifecta book 1.5.
This book was so good. The story of Rock, Summer, Snake and with Raven added in was so hot and sexy. Each book just gets better in this series. Looking forward to more books from this series.
