5 Smooches
Synopsis
Lea Lamb and Austin Wolf were young when they fell in love. They never imagined the future could hold anything other than together-forever.
When Lea’s father dies in a tragic fishing accident, she’s crushed under the weight of her grief and catches a glimpse of another type of future, one she knows she’s not strong enough to face.
Austin is angry. For the past fifteen years, he’s believed the woman he loved with every ounce of his soul left him without so much as a backwards glance.
When Lea unexpectedly returns to their hometown, all the years of heartache inside Austin bubbles to the surface and presents itself as blinding rage.
Faced with the truth about the past, a newly discovered secret, these former lovers will learn that if they want to have any chance at the future they’d given up on all those years ago, they will have to rescue one another from drowning in pain so debilitating it will leave them both fighting to breathe.
Review
“I feel stuck. There is no moving on, because I’m waiting for the inevitable to happen.”
Aurora Rose Reynolds is quickly becoming an author who I would automatically one click even without checking ratings or blurbs. Fighting to Breathe has solidified her into that role for me. Both emotional and sexy, Fighting To Breathe was impossible to put down and I was able to read the entire story in one sitting.
“When I get my hands on you, I’m spanking you for this,” “You’re not.” “Don’t worry babe. I’ll make you come after,”
Returning home to care for her dying mother, Lea Lamb, must finally face the man she left 15 years ago, Wes Wolf. Having broke both his heart and hers she is not welcome home by Wes and others in the town. But even after 15 years apart the feelings Wes and Lea share for one another cannot be denied and soon after spending time together they find themselves wondering if time changes nothing. But deceit and lies lay dormant at the base of all their issues and when things come to life everything they are gets tested.
“I hate that we had fifteen years stolen for us, but know that if things go my way, we’ll have sixty to make up for it.”
Fighting To Breathe was a fast read and a sweet romance with an alpha hero and some very hot sex. Possessive men and timeless romances are a formula that Aurora can’t go wrong with. I can’t wait for more from the people of this small Alaskan town and the people who live there. I will say I did find several mistakes but not so many that it was distracting and since this was an early copy it is possible that they were fixed before release.
