Breathe

By: Lauren Jameson

Narrated by: Sandra Lea

Two people learn what it really means to give up control in the sizzling new novel from the author of Blush and Surrender to Temptation.…

When business mogul Elijah Masterson travels to the Mexican coast for his chain of luxury resorts, he purchases an emerald green glass sculpture for one of the properties. He is soon fascinated by the fiery temptress who created it. The attraction between them is instant and explosive, but Elijah resists, unsure that a woman as strong-willed as Samantha would ever yield in the way he needs her to.

Headstrong glass artist Samantha Collins hides a secret desire to submit to the right man. Samantha sees everything she wants in Elijah, but apart from one steamy night, he seems determined to keep his distance. She has always held back, but refusing to let go now that she’s found the dominant man she’s always wanted, Samantha makes Elijah an offer he can’t refuse: a month of absolute submission.

But after a month of incredible passion, will either of them be able to walk away?

Critic reviews

Praise for Surrender to Temptation

“A well-written story that will open your mind to a whole new level of control and submission.”—SinfulReads Blog

I can't believe this is the squeal to Blush

Blush was sooo goood... I just don't understand how this is the squeal to that...

Anyway... I like the story... simply b/c I recognized that the Dom was the friend of the Dom I liked so much from Blush... but, man this story was seriously lacking in romance, chemistry and smexness that Blush had...

I really liked Elijah from book 1, so his story should have been way better, even though we only met Elijah like 3 times before...but still.

I like the h in this story, but if just felt like Elijah had to work way way too hard get his girl... Then Samantha was supposed to be the more aggressive one in this book, but that just didn't come across to me.

This story was good and well worth a credit...but completely forget about Blush is you listen to this...but they are not on the same level, even though this is the 2 book in the series...

Narration was good...

Nice Change of Pace

I'm not normally a fan of BDSM and steer away from these books however I was intrigued by the characters in this book. Could she really fully submit and if she didn't could he accept her independence? I enjoyed this book and the journey they took together. I appreciated that she learned to accept her need to submit without shame even though she maintained her individuality outside the bedroom.

Definitely a bit better than Blush...

Another enjoyable book about the lives of In Vito Veritas. I do have to start by saying that BDSM is generally hit or miss for me. As for this, I honestly enjoyed it. Its about a wealthy man named Elijah and a beautiful artist named Samantha. Samantha caught Elijah's eye after he saw a piece of art that she had displayed at one of his resorts. They seem to have instant chemistry and see something that draws them to each other. This story has a lot of twists and turns. Elijah dealing with lingering scars. Samantha is carrying around a lot of guilt and shame from a dark secret. This story has a lot to do with sexual discovery for the heroine, Samantha. Overall, it was definitely a hot book. Although, the book had some originality, I did notice some common similarities found in other books in this genre. Regardless, my attention was still absorbed from start to finish without really stopping. Fans of the BDSM genre will really enjoy this. And it will definitely appeal to lovers of contemporary romance who don’t mind a little kink with their love story.

Ugh

What disappointed you about Breathe?

The story was rushed and the characters undeveloped

What was most disappointing about Lauren Jameson’s story?

Everything. I felt the story was predictable and boring and the writing juvenile and flat.
