Jesse Lachlan's and Scarlett Copeland's lives are ruled by fear. Scarlett is terrified of never escaping her father's rage and control, and Jesse is terrified of losing his family's land. When fate makes it clear that Jesse and Scarlett must work together if they have a chance of making their future plans a reality, these former best friends reluctantly team up. As they become reacquainted, they discover their nearly magical childhood bond hasn't completely broken and is, instead, transforming into something more powerful. Then Scarlett's dad discovers their relationship, and his rage may destroy everything they hold dear. Can Scarlett and Jesse defy fate? I am a HUGE Katie McGarry fan, and I think this may be her best book yet. McGarry's characters always have so much heart, an internal kindness and integrity that makes you root for them. Scarlett's struggles to fight her father for her own identity and safety were honest and heartbreaking. Of course, Jesse's ragtag friends all have tragic backstories, and I am going to be heartbroken if each does not receiver their own novel. I also love that McGarry creates heart-stopping romance without a side of cheese. After reading a lot of clunky romances this year, Only a Breath Apart reminded me why I love the genre. I love it when complicated people find love, the ultimate magic, together. Swoon! Highly, highly recommended!
