Review
Foxy Rating = Five Stars!
*ARC provided by the authors in exchange for an honest
review
This is the second (and final – please I want more!) book in
the Breathe Series and continues the love story of Olivia and Owen. The first
book Rescue Breathing was all about
their meeting and courtship, in Life
Support it takes us on the second stage of their story and what happens
after the HFN ending of book one.
I totally love Olivia and Owen and their chemistry and believability
are so spot on. There is no need for a sub plot to engage the reader as the
everyday lives of a couple learning to trust and understand one another past
their inner anxieties is enough to pull the reader in to their fabulous
romance.
Olivia had been badly hurt in her previous relationship and
she finds herself blaming Owen for things that were done to her by another. For
instance her trust issues and her self-confidence are shot to hell. She keeps
believing that eventually Owen will wake up and see that she is not good enough
for him. Owen on the other hand is
finding it hard to make a commitment even though he knows Olivia is it for him.
He is also suffering from a form of PTSD due to a horrific rescue gone wrong in
the past. This has compounded issues in his ability to let Olivia in.
It’s through these issues that an angst factor is thrown
into the storyline but the rest of it is pure, unadulterated bliss! The
everyday happenings just make Olivia and Owen feel so real in that I felt like
part of their gang of friends and family. I was rooting for them both to see
past their anxieties and just let them go and be happy together. The one thing they
both recognise they have is the off the charts sex life. Oh my wordy but the
sex scenes are hot as hell! I loved that they would take every opportunity to
have sexy time, no matter where they were. These two were on it like a pair of
rabbits! Scorching hot!
Throughout the story you can see how they both are learning
to live with each other and from that their love only goes deeper and deeper.
This was so beautiful to see. I liked that the authors brought in as added humour
the things that real couples would moan about each other. For instance Olivia
would tell Owen on his days off alone in the flat to get all his burping and
farting done for the week! Hilarious and something I would see myself saying to my other
half. It was so down to earth but also at the same time delivered a beautiful
and engrossing love story.
If there was one thing I would have done differently would
be to slow down the ending and give more detail of what happened in the two
years with Drew. I was itching to see what that would be like with Owen. Hey
maybe a side line novella would be good for that (hint hint dear authors!). Other
than that I loved and adored everything about this book. I had a serious case
of book hangover once I had finished it.
Brilliant series with fabulous
characters and an amazing love story. Five stars.
