Description
A standalone friends-to-lovers, single dad romance from USA Today bestselling author Nina Levine.
This bossy bartender is about to cross a line he knows he shouldn't. But Callie St James isn't a woman he can say no to any longer.
Callie
Luke Hardy is the bossiest man I know. Moody too. But I've had a thing for him since we met. I spend half my time arguing with him, and the other half drooling over him. I'm screwed now, though, because I just slept with him and I've decided I want a whole lot more than sex. Only problem is, Luke has a secret I never knew. The kind of secret that messes everything up.
Luke
Callie St James likes to argue with me over everything. It irritates the hell out of me. She also turns me on like no other woman ever has. There's only one problem with that. I can't date her. And now I've gone and messed it all up by sleeping with her.
"This story has it all—tension, angst, suspense and heartbreak. I've smiled, laughed, cried and was angry at some point wanting to shake them both. It is not often I feel so connected to the characters, but Nina has accomplished just that." - Reviewer

It's such a throwaway line these days, but it's probably one of the most important notions in life." Luke and Callie just don't have it easy when it comes to the relationship they want and deserve. Both characters have strong beliefs in family, life and love that create tension for them to reach their HEA. Ms Levine keeps the reader firmly immersed in the relationship building of the characters through dual POV. It's easy to side or understand the Hero and heroine's action as the reader takes the journey . This is a first time read for me for Nina Levine. Her storyline themes are interesting and exploration of character are depth diving that it won't be my last. I wise mentor said, "Review the book you read, not the book you wanted to read." This is where I struggle. I really try to not allow expectations color my review. In the case of Steal My Breath it has. I don't want to reveal where I struggled with the story as it will need to contain spoilers. I will leave it at reader preference as there were a few plot points I felt unfinished or rushed. Those who follow me know I'm a voracious reader who gobbles stories I love in under 1 day. I believe that some people will absolutely love the in-depth, push-pull relationship pace of this novel. If you are that reader, I'd recommend this read. 3.5 stars out of 5Amazing

She loves with her whole heart. Luke and Callie make for a interesting couple. They are both stubborn. Can they make it through all the issues that are holding them apart.
