They say that true love only comes once in a lifetime.In my case, they were wrong.I gave my heart away three times.To the blue eyed sensitive soul, who read poetry when he thought no one was looking.To the green eyed jock, who made you laugh as hard as he made you cry.And to the dark eyed boy, whose dark heart only ever beat for me.They were my everything, until suddenly they weren’t. They asked … suddenly they weren’t.
They asked me to choose, but they were asking the impossible.
Now it’s my turn to ask for more than what they are willing to give.
I only have three months left, and I just want to spend it with them.
Will they accept my offer, or will four hearts live the remaining days of their lives in regret of what could have been?
The letters have been sent.
All that remains is for me to wait.
Wait to see if their hearts are still mine.
Because for as long as mine beats, it will always belong to them.

Talk about putting my heart on a roller coaster of emotions. This book is such a heartbreakingly bittersweet yet beautiful read but the romantic in me was shouting out in the back of my brain please dont end how i think it will?? I have everything crossed for a HEA ending in book 2 but i cant see that happening and i know that im going to be so upset. I struggled to keep the tears at bay whilst reading this book. I kept thinking Valentina (FMC), Logan, Carter & Quaid could just get over their hurt and misgivings they could have something really special together. They were so obviously all perfect for each other even if it would have been an unorthodox relationship to others. Even with the tears reading it i would happily go all through that because this book is so worth it. I couldnt love it more and im counting down the days until book 2 comes out to go through all the emotions all over again
If a tear-stained Kindle is any indication of how this review is going to go, then hold on. I mean, did you read the blurb? It’s like one giant flashing neon warning sign. I read the blurb and I embarked on the story that is Breathe Me with the knowledge that it would end in heartache or heartbreak or both. I began this journey willingly, armed with a box of tissues, both for the sad tears that were promised and the happy ones I was surprised to find along the way. And let me say that it does not disappoint! C.R. Jane and Ivy Fox have crafted one hell of an emotional rollercoaster.
The story of Valentina, Logan, Quaid, and Carter is so genuine and heartfelt and utterly breathtaking. To meet your soulmate, let alone all of them, at such a young age and all at once, has got to be both overwhelming and satisfying. I loved that we get to see how these four meet and how their bonds are developed and tested. There are hints at the heartache that caused their first separation. I hope we get to see that.
My heart is breaking for all of these characters. I’m so in love with each of them. I ache for Valentina and the cards fate has dealt her. I ache for Logan and Carter and Quaid being in love with her and needing her to choose. I ache for the moment when the guys will finally learn Valentina’s secret. I ache for how these soulmates will deal with a final separation.
Both authors promise the conclusion to this duet will be emotionally gut-wrenching. Like I said at the beginning, I knew that going in this story would break my heart. I guess it makes me a masochist that I loved it as much as I have so far, and that I’m looking forward to having my heart decimated in Breathe You!
Wow guys, just wow!! So going in I knew that these two authors would write an epic story. They delivered. I felt for Valentina so very much. All that she has gone through and is going through. Her strength blew me away. She does not tell the guys that she is dying or even sick, which honestly I would want my last months to be of happiness not sadness.
The guys, yes they have moved on, with their careers not their love lives. Each one has always felt like that there was a piece missing from their lives. I so enjoyed getting to read their POV’s and how each one of them felt. As always there is one that is going to be a little difficult but I will let you figure out who that is.
This is going to be such a sweet story and I know that I am going to have my heart broken. But I am trusting CR and Ivy to put it back together again.
The story jumps back and forth from present to past. Which I am not a huge fan of, it is kinda hard to keep track of, especially since the past is also different pov’s. I get that they need to establish a connection and a past between the characters, but I am not a big fan of those. It is just a personal preference and does not take away anything from the story.
So in closing, Breathe Me fits the theme of the story so well. So while you sit down to read this, just keep in mind that you might be shedding a tear or two. This is definitely one that is going to tug on the heart strings. Oh and fyi, there is a pretty big cliffy at the end. Good thing we do not have long to wait for part two.
There are times when we readers get ahold of a book that encompasses so many emotions, we just can’t help but to feel them all. Most of us are drawn toward the happily ever after romance books promise but then there are those rare moments when we come across a tragically heartbreaking story that draws us in and takes us through this emotional ride of ups and downs. These are the books we will remember for years to come. Breathe Me by Ivy Fox and C.R. Jane will forever hold that title for me. This book is so amazingly written. It took me in and refused to release me. Its hold on my heart had me on my knees, in tears. This story is so gripping, I feel it in my soul. I absolutely need the next book in this duet like I need my next breath
Breathe Me, by C. R. Jane and Ivy Fox is the new book to the block. The book reminds me Sylvia Day’s writing. I say this in a term of endearment for this book. The writing was simple and easy. The reader doesn’t need to struggle to read the book or interpret what the writer is trying to convey to the reader.
I love the storyline. Although not original, it brings the intensity to the book. The telling of Valentina, Carter, Logan, and Qauids background leading up to the adult years, helps the reader understand the characters desire to pull towards one another. The men are strong characters, who I would love to see go off and seek love interest of their own. I believe that they could do well with their own standalone stories. I voluntary reviewed this ARC after receiving a free gifted copy.
I knew I was in for an emotional rollercoaster when Ivy Fox and C.R. Jane announced their first cowrite together. These 2 authors have both managed to move me to tears with most of their books separately and I could only imagine the ache and angst these 2 would bring upon me with Breathe Me.
The 2 very distinct voices of these authors mix perfectly and together they tell us the gripping and heartbreaking love story of Valentina Rossi and her boys, now men. They give us the different POV’s of all the main characters, alternating between the past and present, slowly giving us more information as to why these characters fell apart to begin with and why they are now reunited once more.
This book comes with a trigger warning, so if you are sensitive for certain triggers, it’s best to get a little more information before going in. This book is achingly beautiful, but really intense and it ends on a cliffhanger. But, the sequel is coming soon after this, so we won’t have to wait too long for the finale of this duet.
I was absolutely blown away by the writing duo of Ivy Fox and C.R. Jane. This book was everything I dreamed it would be. I loved the adorable childhood moments and seeing how everyone changed 10 years later. This book had angst, sorrow, laughter and so much love that I could not contain my emotions. I cried during the prologue and several other chapters throughout the book. True to both of these amazing authors forms they kill you with a cliffhanger and leave you hanging on every word. I can’t not wait to see what’s in store for Val, Carter, Quaid and Logan. I need to see them get that happy ending! I’m invested now!
