Breathe Again Kindle Edition

From the bestselling author of Songbird comes a novella that will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the power of second chances.

Carrie Malone has seen enough heartbreak to last a lifetime.

Her family’s demons gave Carrie the courage to move away from home and leave her past behind. Now a college senior, she stays busy with her classes and her job at the diner. It may sound boring to some, but to Carrie, the very best thing about her new life is that every day is calm and blissfully uneventful.

That all changes the night Josh Bennett walks into her diner.

With his dirty designer suit and mud-caked shoes, Carrie’s not sure what to think about the broken man sitting at her counter. She’s even more confused when he doesn’t touch his coffee . . . and leaves his Rolex watch as a tip.

Josh Bennett has nothing to live for.

Starved for affection and deep in despair, he’s looking for a tender touch. A kind word. A giving heart.

A shattered and broken Josh finds himself standing on a city bridge, looking down into the freezing river that will undoubtedly bring an end to his pain.

He’s prepared to jump.

He’s prepared to die.

He’s not prepared for the pretty waitress who finds him there by the river’s edge.

When two lost souls find each other in the dark of the night, can they give each other a reason to breathe again?

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Compassionate Story! Life, Strength and Love.

After stumbling onto this book and noticing it was free, I read the description and hesitated....mind you I have my reasons. After contemplating, I clicked buy it for free and dove right into the book before I can second guess myself. As soon as I begun reading, I was captivated, and I was unable to put it down so I read it straight through. This book brings to life the struggle, the loneliness, and the strength it takes to overcome loss and heartbreak within everyday life. Life and love are hard in everyone's daily life but when you add the loss of a parent or a loved one, you times it by ten. But within this story, you can see just how amazing compassion of a stranger can renew the love in your heart. Their story shows, two people who loved, lost and struggle, but they each help each other to grow and to cope and to find love again with each other. Now the reason I was hesitant to purchase this book is the description of Josh and the bridge. I am a suicide loss survivor. After losing my son to suicide, another have an unsuccessful attempt, I was concerned about the author's approach, words, and storyline but some something told me to suck it up and buy it and read it asap. Well, I am so glad I listened to that little voice inside. As I read through this book, I felt as if somehow she knew how I felt and still do feel. Her story line and words are written with such compassion, and empathy can and will allow so many others to relate, as well as give an inside view of those who possibly just don't understand a loss such as these. I was able to relate to Josh, in both his turmoil and in his grief of losing a child and I was able to relate to Carrie as well losing a father. Their story honestly and truly shows the struggles of loss, guilt, grief, blame, anger and the struggle to breathe and move on with everyday living. It shows the amazing effects of love, and understanding and human compassion from one to another. And it shows although we hurt, we still can love, and live to breathe again, in honor of those we lost and loved. Their story truly was amazing and true to the struggles of life and I am so glad I read this book. I do want to thank Sydney Logan for taking such a sensitive subject such as suicide or an attempt of such, in a very compassionate and loving way. The fact that someone came to help another is truly inspiring and I hope it will inspire others to do so. Also, the way you expose Josh's grief, with tenderness and compassion brought me to tears. When a parent loses a child, it is beyond devastating in a way no one can understand, and it is truly a difficult to take each breath, without fear, guilt, anger and pain and yet with the love and support, we are able to breathe again. Carrie and Josh's story is beautifully written and it is a must read which I will share with all my fellow readers.

*ARC received in exchange for an honest review. The thoughts are entirely my own and in no way biased.*

This story. Just this story. *sighs*

I have cried like a baby in this. God, so much sadness and heartache. Both Carrie and Josh have lost so much in their lives and they're just trying to put it all behind in the past, but God! Their loss is terrible and I don't even know how they got past it. I mean, how can someone get over such momentous grief? It becomes a part of them, following them everywhere. Just like it's shown in the story.

But, I love how brave Carrie is in the face of adversity. She's actually, genuinely, honest to God trying to move forward with her life and leave her past behind. I commend her for that. And despite everything, she is such a kind, thoughtful person. So, I like her for that even more. I mean, she has so many reasons to be bitter and cruel, but she doesn't let those reasons win. She fights them and tries to be the best person she can be. I admire her strength and her courage. I admire how she's so understanding and such a pillar of support to Josh, helping him get his life back after he breaks. It's beautiful to read.

And, then, Josh. His story made me cry. So bad. What he's lost, what he's gone through, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It just makes my heart ache so bad, seeing how he is now, how he's going through motions after the one incident tore his life apart. I wanted to go inside the story and give him a huge tight hug. I wanted to hug him and never let him go. It was a treat to see how he got his life back in order after Carrie came into it and how she was there for him every step of the way. I loved seeing Josh transform from a broken man with no will to live into this amazing, caring person who was full of love and gratitude.

This book is so well written and so beautiful. I adore it. I have a lot of feels for it. It's amazing, beautiful and just the best thing ever. I adore this book a whole lot and all fans of romance out there must go and read this pronto!

Everyone brings baggage into a new relationship. Sometimes the baggage is almost more than you can carry. That was the case with Josh. Carrie's baggage was heavy as well, but not quite as much. Life is full of opportunities that present unexpected opportunities and when Josh and Carrie meet on the bridge, there was no other way for Carrie to respond. She had to reach out to him and help him realize he had something to live for. This book tells the story of loss, grief, and working through both to get to the other side. You never are the same again. You reach a new normal and move on with life. You take your past with you in a more compact form when the loss and grief are shared. Well-written story that gives people hope for the future.

Review: 2.5 This review will contain some spoilers.
This book starts out strong. Carrie is a waitress and she is at the end of her shift. A shady guy walks in and leaves,his Rolex as payment. As Carrie leaves work, she sees this same guy trying to kill himself. By the end of first chapter, I was hooked. I wanted more. I needed more. But it wasn't there. Ms. Logan wanted to give too much story, without giving the story. Resolutions came far too quick. The drama, suspense, and want for more was quickly lost. The story idea was spot on, but the story itself lacked in so many ways. Had Ms. Logan expanded the characters, let their overall story be told, and given more to the reader she easily could have gotten a five star review from me. This is my first read by Ms. Logan so I am unsure if this is her norm, or if it she wanted to write a novella that should have been a novel.

"Breathe Again" is the story of two individuals who have recently lost someone close to them. Having recently lost a family member, I was uncertain about this book. There should have been no cause for concern on my part. The book is in no way morbid. It is a story of healing. It's about "moving on" despite the loss and learning how to live in the ensuing void. It is very well written with a smooth flowing prose. This book should definitely be added to the "to be read" pile.

Josh and Carrie two lives destined to save one another. You cannot help but be entranced and entrapped by this story. It is so beautifully written, real angst and utter despair thankfully ending with hope and a second chance at life and all it has to offer. Read, read, read!

This is her best work yet! (I think I've said that about most of the books she's written lol)

Breathe Again tells the story of Carrie and Josh who meet in the worst circumstances ever thinkable.

Carrie is a struggling student, working and trying to keep a roof over her head whilst dealing with the death of her father and the abandonment from her mother. Josh is the mysterious guy battling his own demons that she meets at the worst point in his life.

After a night of ever lasting memories Josh and Carrie find themselves drawn to each other in ways that can't be described. Their instant chemistry is believable and I found myself rooting for this couple from the beginning.

Very well written and very easy to follow (and if I didn't have to work for a living it would of been read in one sitting. Lol)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
