Daniel Dörrschuck danieldoerrschuck — I believe this one was a free Kindle download. That said, it's a very nice find. Very nice. First of all, the book is aptly titled. The heroine is a consumptive whose main goal in life is to be able to breathe easy again, and there is just something imperative in that single word — it's like a command to grab life by the neck and lungs, go forth, and take it all in. BREATHE. It's the 1880s, and for a consumptive to be able to do just that, she must go to a sanitarium in Colorado for treatment. This means, of course, a new start in life, and her brother and sister go with her, leaving their only other family, their father, with his publishing business. That title and that premise, however, establish a very strong theme in this book — these three characters, the St. Clair siblings, set out on their own to live a new life and find their own way. They've left old friends and old ways, and they've come to Colorado to make new friends and to blossom. Odessa, the heroine, concentrates on getting well, and she develops a relationship with a fellow consumptive named Bryce, the hero. Her brother Dominic and her sister Moira, on the other hand, concentrate on their own goals — his to make his own way doing what he wants to do in life and not what his father wants him to do, even if it's moonlighting as a prize fighter when he's not working at the family bookshop, and hers to sing in front of an audience and become the belle of the ball. Though this is the first in a trilogy where the three books seem very closely intertwined — at least in this first book, where you really get to know not only the main protagonist for this book but those for the next two books as well — Breathe works very well as a stand-alone. At the end, I didn't feel as though I were left hanging, and actually, I got a more hopeful, optimistic vibe — the characters are ready to seek their futures, find their dreams, discover their adventures, all with a life-affirming eager enthusiasm, a joie de vivre. Like the Colorado Mountains in which this story is set, it's crisp, cool, beautiful, and refreshing. I get the impression, also, that these are inspirational books — Christian books — but Breathe didn't feel preachy at all. The characters, especially Odessa and Bryce, often refer to their faith, but it's not wielded like a weapon or a moral lesson as I've seen in many other books. In fact, it almost goes against stereotype, with its life-affirming theme instead of the usual staid, obey-your-parents-and-all-the-societal-norms kind of vibe. It does, however, take a character that would, with just a few tiny tweaks, normally be a hero in the more mainstream, steamier romances, and turn him kind of sinister. The sheriff who has his eye on the sister, Moira, is a red-blooded lusty type who wants her for his wife, and though he treats her like a lady in public, he's arrogant, jealous, and a mite overbearing and manipulative. In another book, Moira would be turned on by him, despite any slight fears she may have about his slightly controlling attitude. In this book, however, he is masterfully made in to a villain you love to hate, the kind of creepy authority figure that makes you uncomfortable and inexplicably frightened. Nicely, nicely done.
