I was warned about Tristan Cole.
“Stay away from him,” people said.
“He’s cruel.”
“He’s cold.”
“He’s damaged.”
It’s easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster.
But I couldn’t do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me.
We were both empty.
We were both looking for something else. Something more.
We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays.
Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe.

My more than 5 star review of The Air He Breathes
When Brittainy Cherry writes, its like she has a window into
the soul of her readers. She just open it right up, lets the breeze in, and
whisks us away on an emotional journey that can only be described as life
changing. Sometimes when I read, I read the mindless. I read the stories that
don’t require much thought. It’s the typical love story. And not that those are
bad, in any way- but sometimes you read a story that hits you hard, and you
start to examine your life and everything around you and do the what ifs? What
if this really happened to me? How could I move on? How would I survive, and
the main characters in this story- are thrust into that situation.
One of my favorite heroines this year, Liz, is such a strong
female role model. Left alone with a daughter after her husband loses his life-
she dreads coming back to the house they called home. She moves in with her
mother, but her mother seems to be a lost soul- and eventually Elizabeth
decides coming back home to face reality is her only other option. She goes
back to a town that whispers about her. Assuming things about her, and what she
is doing. When she looks at Emma her daughter, she knows it is all worth it.
Until she runs over a dog- and her life is forever changed by a man named
Tristan.
I mean my GOD what a book boyfriend we have in Tristan Cole.
He is the epitome of broken. Coming off of a brutal loss, Tristan is of the
mindset push your friends away, and your enemies even farther. He wants nothing
to do with anyone, and he is perfectly fine being that way. When you understand
what has happened to him, you will get why he is the way he is.
This book touched me in a way that changed me. My eyes were
leaking all over the place, because of the words that Brittainy Cherry gave
life. She gave them meaning, and purpose. And I am changed, for good. She
wrecked me, utterly destroyed my heart- but that wasn’t even enough- she
pulverized my emotions. But they BEST thing about Brittainy is that she healed
me, she made me whole- and she took back everything she did to me that was bad,
and made me feel good, great even. She has that power. She is the controller of
your emotions when you read this book. When her characters are sad, you feel
their pain. When they are happy, you laugh with them. And when they are so
overwhelmed with emotion they break down, you want to hug the shit out of them
and make it all better. I am a better person for reading this book; I am in
love with not only Brittainy’s writing, but her as a person. SO genuine, and so
real- just like her books. Thank you a million times over my love, for gifting
me these characters. I will be forever grateful!
