Though just a teenager, Sadie White is the adult within her small family. Her mother is constantly being irresponsible with men and finds herself pregnant and unable to work or take care of her child. In order to feed herself and her mother, Sadie works hard to get a job as a domestic servant for a family for the summer.

What she doesn't know is that the house belongs to Jax Stone, one of the most highly coveted heart throbs of the music industry. Sadie isn't easily flustered by Jax's celebrity status, but instead finds his personality appealing. Jax isn't what you think a teen rock star would be like. He isn't cocky or conceited. Tired of women always clamouring for his affections, Jax is taken by Sadie and her more mature ways.

In Abbi Glines' first book in the Sea Breeze series, BREATHE is a refreshing taste of New Adult featuring two teens who are mature than most their age. Both Sadie and Jax have experienced things that most teens haven't had which sets them apart from the crowd. This is actually what brings these two together and I thought it was done in a very believable way.

Their romance, however, is swift. I would have liked to see it slow down a little more and explore the minor love triangle. There is another boy who is intrigued by Sadie. He works with her, taking her home after their shifts. Although he never really had a chance, I would have loved to read more of that in the story.

BREATHE is a promising start to the Sea Breeze series. With an endearing, admirable heroine and a rock star hero, this book has the perfect formula for a winning book!
