Book description
Abbi Glines delivers a compelling audio experience with Breathe, the first installment in her Sea Breeze series. This isn't just another celebrity romance; it's a story grounded in quiet resilience. Sadie White, juggling her single mother's pregnancy and household duties, lands a summer job as a domestic for a wealthy family on a secluded island. Her world shifts when she discovers the homeowner is Jax Stone, a globally famous rock star. Sadie, already burdened by responsibility, isn't swayed by his fame-she's too busy keeping her life afloat.
The audiobook shines through its intimate narration, perfectly capturing Sadie's pragmatic voice and Jax's internal conflict. His attraction to her authenticity clashes with his belief that his chaotic life is no place for someone like her. The tension builds slowly, fueled by stolen glances and conversations that feel earned, not forced. You hear the weight in Sadie's voice as she navigates her mother's needs, and Jax's hesitation as he fights his growing need for her.
Glines masterfully avoids clichΓ©s. Sadie isn't a damsel waiting for rescue; she's a young woman making hard choices, her strength quietly woven into every interaction. Jax isn't a brooding prince-he's a man aware of his flaws, recognizing Sadie's worth before he fully understands his own. The audiobook's pacing lets their connection breathe, making the pivotal moment when Jax admits, "I can't breathe without her," feel deeply earned, not melodramatic.
The narration, likely performed with nuance, elevates the emotional core. You don't just hear the story; you feel the contrast between Sadie's grounded reality and Jax's high-stakes world. The island setting, described with subtle detail, becomes a character itself-offering both escape and a backdrop for their collision. Glines, a #1 New York Times bestselling author, proves her knack for relatable characters in high-stakes scenarios.
This audiobook works because it focuses on the why behind the attraction. It's not about fame or glitter; it's about finding someone who sees you, exactly as you are, when life feels overwhelming. The ending lands with quiet certainty, leaving you eager for the next chapter in Sadie and Jax's journey. For fans of character-driven romance, Breathe is a standout audio listen-emotionally resonant, beautifully paced, and impossible to mute.
