2.5 stars. Dry and stubborn heroine, hero who is an ex-boyfriend of the heroine’s sister.
Enjoyable start with the cheating hubby but the ending drove me nuts.
We also get a weird abandonment issue as well regarding the absent biological father.
Way too much of these two hurting each other and the he/she won’t forgive me or want me back thinking.
Way too much unimportant trivia that made me start skimming. e.g. Someone is a Heath Ledger fan.
Obligatory same sex couple that are part of or mentioned in the story, that authors are throwing into every book nowadays.
This was a free read so cannot complain but I won’t be running out to get the next book.

A great start to a whole new spin off series to the Montgomery Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan. It is wonderfully emotional and everything that you would except from this author. Carrie is never one to disappoint when it comes to her books and characters, with each new character that she writes and introduces to us we get a new family with new books to enjoy.
There are some sad, happy and fun times with Devin and Erin and their families. The banter between the Carr siblings was so enjoyable to read, it had me giggling. While this is about new characters it was great to see how some of the past characters are doing. This book is about picking up the pieces of your life after it all comes crashing down.
At her High School reunion, Erin Taborn finds her husband in the bathroom in a compromising position with the former cheerleader. Erin and her husband (or should I say Ex) have been together forever and it just about destroys her to find him like this. She thought her life and marriage was perfect. After the ‘incident’ Erin throws herself into her work and swears off all men and relationships. But what she never planned on was Devin.
Devin Carr, an ex of Erin's sister, helps Erin the night of the reunion, when he sees her drunk and sad. Erin is hard headed and only offers a ‘friends with benefits’ relationship with Devin. Devin wants more but will will take what he can get with her and hopes her feelings change, cause he isn’t willing to loose her.
This book had me guessing all the way to the end and I kept thinking that Devin and Erin would not get their HEA, but Carrie proved me wrong. A excellent start to a new set of siblings and I can’t wait to see what is next for the Carr family.

Breathless With Her is a beautiful story that is all about protecting your heart but at what cost. Devin and Erin are two people that agree to boundaries to ensure Erin won’t run. Erin is tired of being hurt by the men in her life that were supposed to love and cherish her, so now she will erect those walls to protect her heart and soul from totally shattering. A story that will at times leave you breathless, have you wanting to fight for this couple and wanting to make sure that they get their cake and eat it too. Devin will claim your heart and at times Erin will frustrate you beyond belief. An emotional and breathtaking romance that will leave you with a huge smile on your face.

Book 1 in a new series from this established author & once again, it's fantastic. Devin happens to be at the right place at the right time when Erin needs help. Fast forward a few months & once again their paths cross & this time things progress. I loved this couple. They were funny & sexy & loving. One thing that I've noticed in books by this author is that most characters just have an everyday, ordinary job because they're just everyday, ordinary people. The type of people I can honestly imagine coming across in real life. I love that about these books. They're easily relatable but still fun.

Just love every book that Carrie Ann writes and this one is no different.
Devin loved his life until Erin walked in the bar in her red sequinned dress.
Erin thought she had married the love of her life until she caught him cheating on her.
Devin and Erin have their trust issues.
Highly recommend this book and any other book by this fantastic author.

But fate had other ideas in walks Devin to pick up a cake and the two start to see each other - but other things are going on in Erins live as she decides much to her big sisters dismay to try and find their father who walked out on them when they were small.

A bit off the mark
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2020Verified Purchase
Not the best by this author. Erin is completely thrown when she finds her husband with the cheerleader. Devin gets her home safely while she is drunk. Fast forward and she is divorced and available. Devin is interested and makes his move. Erin is finding her feet and not ready for a nee relationship but they agree to be friends with benefits. A side story of looking for her absent father and Erin turns away from the best thing she had. Just wish she'd had more backbone with her scummy ex husband.

Another awesome book what a beginning to this new series. Erin & Devin are perfect together it’s a shame it took Erin so long to realise he is like her Douchebag ex. Loved the twists it took for reality to set in, cannot wait for the next in the series.

Love this author, but she charges way too for her books. Its like, hey this is for free, but I'll charge you top price for the rest. Sorry, I'm happy dreaming about where the rest will go. Stop penalising your followers, its really not fair.
