New Cover, Blurb and Teasers!!!!! *hyperventilating
The book better have a fucking happy ending of I'm going to loose my shit and sob into depression.


Teaser #1
I closed my eyes, my chest tightening, knowing I wasn't ready. But the firmness of his body against my side and his scent held me captive, keeping me from moving a single muscle. I was afraid to lose this – his touch, his warmth.
His hand ran across my stomach, and I inhaled quickly. "Oh, Emma," he murmured in my ear, making me bite my lip....more

OMFG i have been addicted to this series for the past year and a half. After the first book, when i thought Emma died i cried myself to sleep. I COULD NOT WAIT for the next book! I am not even that much of a book person, my sister recommended this book to me because she knows how much i love sappy romance. Emma and Evan are the cutest couple everrr. When freaking Emma left him in the 2nd book i was FURIOUS, she just doesnt know how much he loves her and it just pisses me off. She thinks shes hur...more

Another cliffhanger?? :( I tried my hardest to read Barely Breathing as slowly as I could, but I couldn't keep torturing myself. And now I'm going through another form of torture waiting for Rebecca Donovan to deliver us that third book!

So close. The date is so close. 0_0

You just know that I will be the one sitting at the computer screen repeatedly clicking refresh in the hopes that there will at least be like a book summary or something. I will not for a second waver. I will sit here religiously and click refresh because this is how much I am addicted to this series. I realize that this is not healthy and I seriously do not give a damn. I am and will forever be addicted to Emma and Evan. When the release date is posted I will bite my fingernails in anticipation...more
How I felt at the end of Barely Breathing when I initially finished it:

Then, after I'd had a moment to process it:

... But ...

And then I got stuck on Evan!

And I just wanted to...

whenever I thought about Emma.
I SWEAR TO GOD!!!

Now I find that while I'm waiting for this damn book, I'm catching myself being all

Dear July, you can arrive ANY TIME NOW!!

This morning there was a piece of news I’ve been expecting to hear for AGES now (about three weeks actually, when I finished “Barely breathing”, but I tend to overreact) plastered on my Facebook wall:
“Out of breath” expected publication date has FINALLY been released.

OH MY DEAR GODNESS THANK YOU, THANK YOOOOOU!
Or so I thought, at first, just to have my poor unadvised heart shattered into small pulsating blooded bits, because when my eyes darted greedly to the release date it read: june 2013.

Counting down the days until this book comes out, last week I discovered reason to breathe by accident and ever since I've been completely and utterly hooked. The writing is stunning, story line is capturing and Emma and Evan probably being a whole new meaning to the perfect couple. I don't want to spoil anything but I just love how their relationship develops and how unconditional and strong their love for eachother is. And as for the ending of the 2nd book- no exaggeration here it had me in te...more

Rebecca, I'm going to cry... You are going to turn me into blubbering MESS. I need this book now and as I can see, I'm not the only one having a breakdown full of tantrums of torrential proportions. Where do we go for our fill? I don't think we can handle the pressure of waiting til next year. How do people earn those advance copies I keep hearing of... I gotta comfort my Emma and NOW MY EVAN. Man, patience is a virtue I have purposely skipped out on on learning. Book lovers are the worst I'm af...more
Teasers From Rebecca Donovan blog
Other than the expression that was carved on my face, I was scraped clean and empty. The only thing left inside was a flicker of a flame that threatened to scorch my insides with the slightest accelerant. And I feared he was armed with the words that could burn me alive.

I have put this in my to-read but I'm waiting until someone else writes a review saying it ends with them together before I buy it. Reality is crap and I can't read this book if it doesn't end with them together. In my head right now, they had sex in the tent at the end of 'barely breathing' and they woke up the next day, cuddled and it ended there......I just can't deal! (also jonathan got with analise and stayed the hell away from Emma in my head, I like things to be just so).

OMG when is this coming out? Seriously I can't take it. I feel like I am going crazy here waiting for more. How can she leave us like that. I have read a lot of books, and I mean A LOT, and I have never ever been addicted like this. I need to know what happens. I am losing my mind waiting for what is coming. Please please people, let's get this book out!!!

I must get my hands on this BOOK NOW!!!
Although I'm giving fair warning, if Emma and Evan do not get back together, I'm going to start assaulting things and poking things with knifes!!
So Rebecca Donovan, a crime spree may begin if I'm not happy...any editing that may need to be done should get done now ;) {trust me, I'm not that insane}

All I can say is that if I have to wait until next summer for the conclusion, then Emma and Evan MUST have an incredibly happy ending ... and that little sneak Annalise needs to have something really embarrassing happen to her since I expect, for a short time at least, she will be consoling Evan.

While I really like these books I am nervous to read the last one. I am a sap and I want and Evan and Emma ending even more so after all the heavy stuff Emma has gone through. I am just afraid this is not going to be the happy ending I want and it might just ruin the series for me.

OMG, another cliff-hanger....Please do not kill off Emma, Evan, Sara or Jared. Maybe not even Jonathan. For some reason, Emma, Evan and Jonathan reminds me of Katniss, Peeta and Gale from the Hunger Games. One can perfectly complement each other while another can destroy each other.

Optimism seeps from every pore of my body. I truly believe that what's supposed to happen... will! In that regard, I don't know how to give up; it's not part of my biological make up.
I'm a passionate (and some would say, overly enthusiastic) person. I learn by doing (and have been burned more times that I'd like to admit), but I will always throw my entire self into whatever I do - fail or succeed...more
