DONT FORGET TO ENTER!!! With the official release of Breathe Out, I’m having an official Goodreads.com Giveaway. September 15, 2015 through October 15, 2015 you can enter (see link below) to WIN an AUTOGRAPHED copy of Breathe Out. Plus, you’ll also receive an AUTOGRAPHED copy of Breathe In. That’s right. You’ll be getting both book #1 and book #2 of the Just Breathe series. The giveaway is open to everyone in the US, GB, CA and AU.
Synopsis of the series:
Breathe In is about a twenty-four-year-old woman named Emma Peterson who has made sure to have as much control over her life as she can since the death of her parents that occurred when she was sixteen.A fear of loss dominates Emma’s mindset when it comes to relationships of all types, especially when it comes to men and dating.Emma doesn’t date.Rather, she uses men for sex.
She’s created eight golden rules to keep herself at a distance from men, particularly the men she sleeps with; 1. no dating or going out on dates, 2. never let them know where she lives, 3. never pick up a guy in a particular social setting that she may frequently attend or sleep with a man whom she may have the chance of running into on a regular basis, 4. never have a guy over to her apartment for any reason (her gay best friends are the only exceptions), 5. always end things before the guy starts to want more, 6. always use protection, 7. never sleep over at their place after sex and 8. always have more than one exit strategy.
When Emma’s best friend, Maggie, becomes involved with a new boyfriend, Emma’s world changes radically.Maggie’s relationship with Henry moves very quickly; faster than any of her previous relations and Emma is not excited about the newcomers to the group.On top of that, Henry’s best friend, Joe Covelli, is the first man Emma has ever met who makes her call her own rules into question.
Aside from the introduction of Joe Covelli to Emma’s life and the temptation of breaking her rules, Emma also finds herself in a whirlwind of self-discovery. Her past creeps back into her controlled life, forcing her to consider her fear of loss and potential acceptance of love and true happiness.
Odds of winning are based on the number of people who enter. Winners are selected at the discretion of Goodreads. You will receive an email from Goodreads.com the following day if you have won. If you are the winner, your signed copy will be mailed out within one week of the contest ending.

Breathe Out – Beginning of Chapter 47 (snip bit)
As I wake from unrestful slumber, the memories of last night flood my brain, temporarily dulling the pain in my head and sinfully exciting my sex.My eyes open just a tiny little bit as my body staggers to the bathroom from the throbbing need to pee.The very sensation of relieving myself stimulates my clitoris, reminding me of Joe’s tongue swirling over it last night.God — I want him.I want him even more now than I did before last night.
Strolling back into my bedroom, my eyes try to focus on the clock.It’s just after eight in the morning, indicating that it’s not too early to text Anna that I’ll come and get Sadie.Taking out my phone, I momentarily panic, not sure why it isn’t working.Oh, yeah — I remember now.I turned it off in the cab when Joe tried to call me for the third time after I left his hotel room in a hurry at two in the morning.
Once my phone turns on, it rapidly buzzes at me, alerting that there are multiple text and voicemail messages.Ignoring them, I text Anna.“I’m home.Let me know when you’re free and I’ll come get Sadie.”
Scared to confront my actions from last night, I decide to only see who contacted me.Jared hasn’t written back to my message from two twenty-nine saying that I was going home.However, there are three texts messages, six missed calls and two voice messages from Joe.My finger hovers over the text message icon, but I can’t will myself to look — even though I want to.
It takes Anna five minutes to write back that she’s about to run some errands, so she’ll stop by in a few minutes with Sadie.I don’t have enough time to shower, to really shower before Anna gets here, so I decide to wash my face, brush my hair and teeth and change.I’m not interested in looking like a person who just had a hot, erotic, mind-blowing night of sex and didn’t bother to rinse off before having visitors.
The sex — God — was it good.It was better than good.It was — there are no words to describe it, because I’ve never had sex like that before.Is that even possible?It can’t be.It must have been a fluke — a first-time luck kind of thing.My curiosity is peaked.I definitely need to fuck Joe again to find out.Will he want to?I mean — maybe it wasn’t that good for him.Maybe I’m just left wondering and will never know.Is this what it’s like for some of the men I’ve slept with only once?Is that why Chris is the way he is with me?This is torture — sheer torture!
The apartment buzzer goes off right as I’m in the middle of unpacking the bags I took with me for Maggie’s and Henry’s wedding weekend.
“Hi, Anna. It’s open.Just come right in when you get up here,” I instruct with my finger on the intercom button.
The sound of Sadie’s paws running across the wooden floor energizes me as I finish checking myself in the bathroom.Sadie and I eagerly greet each other at the base of my bed.
“Hey, pretty girl!”My hands rub Sadie in all her favorite places as she bangs into my body, almost making me fall from my squatting position.“I missed you too, sweetie!”
Sadie follows me the few steps out to the living room as I go to meet Anna.My eyes deliberately blink a second and third time when I don’t see Anna in my apartment — I see Joe.
