Book Blurb
A new love will test the boundaries of passion between a privileged boy next door and the tattooed, blue-haired girl who helps him embrace his wild side...
Nate has developed quite a playboy reputation around campus. It's not that he doesn't respect or trust women; he doesn't trust himself. The men in Nate’s family are prone to abusive behavior—a dirty secret that Nate’s been running from his entire life—so Nate doesn't do relationships. But he can’t help himself around one girl…
Jessie is strong, independent, and works at a tattoo parlor. Nate can’t resist getting close to her, even if it’s strictly a friendship. But it doesn't take long for Nate to admit that what he wants with Jessie is more than just friendly.
With Jessie, he can be himself and explore what he’s always felt was a terrifying darkness inside him. Even when Nate begins to crave her in a way that both shocks and horrifies him, Jessie still wants to know every part of him. Testing their boundaries together will take a trust that could render them inseparable… or tear them apart.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
In the next book of the Between Breaths series, Nate holds himself apart from women. He refuses to be like his father. When he is with a woman he has strict rules he follows, no kissing especially. He has eyes for Jessie but knows she is dangerous to his carefully contained rules. So he tries to keep her in the friend zone.
When he offers to help her with her photography assignment, things happen between them. However he is afraid of how he behaved and what he wanted to do. He withdraws from her. Jessie lets him knowing there has to be a major reason why. She wants to help him as much as she can. She eventually finds out what is really happening but tries to be a supportive friend. Unfortunately she is falling fast. After he continually pulls away from her, she knows that she can no longer keep trying. Friends is apparently all Nate could handle.
I have read the other books in this series. The characters have issues to deal with and the relationships they develop are intense. I like how the author shows the journey the characters have to travel to fight their demons.
Nate ends up going to counseling, a suggestion made by Jessie. I really liked that aspect showing a more positive light to getting help. Friends really support each other in this series which is a reason I read them. I love the chemistry and camaraderie that occurs between the characters. I hope to see more from this series. I give it a 4 out of 5.
