When the stage lights dim and the spotlight surrounds you, do you perform for the world? Giving it your best effort to deceive every eye upon you into believing everything is fine. On the other hand, would the pressure cripple you, bare and broken, waiting to breathe?
Dartanya Waters finds herself constantly putting on a masquerade for everyone around her. On the outside, everyone sees her as a happy, quirky twenty-one year old. Internally, she buries her thoughts, hiding her fears behind a fake smile and false confidence. Panic flows through her veins, and no one knows the horror threatening her sanity and life on a daily basis.
She is every man’s fantasy, and every woman wants to be her. That is, except her. She would give anything to rewrite her story and live tomorrow carefree, but for her, that isn’t possible.
When the walls of her life finally fall and she has to fight to the surface, Nate Daniels is there to pull her from the wreckage. He’s searching for the one thing he’s never let go of. Love. He is stubborn, bold, and the only constant in her life that gives her hope.
How much time and sorrow will pass before she forgets who she is and she loses herself completely? The ultimatum the two face is to find their happily ever after or drown in the sea of lies Dartanya spreads
throughout their relationship.
The path they follow is up to them...or is it?

My Review
Sigh…what to say what to say. I so did not want this book to end, I definitely swiped at my kindle like 8 times trying to magically will more writing to appear.
This book is a doozy and it will have you clutching your heart with almost every turn of the page. This is not the same romantic story as book 1, there is more pain and a lot more darkness in the story but it is awesome.
Waiting to Breathe is the second book in the Blue Series and it is the remarkable and heartbreaking story of Dartanya, the awesome kick-ass best friend of Cass from Book 1 and Nate, the misunderstood jerkface you can’t help but love that just so happens to be Lucas’ brother. These two are utterly and completely meant for each other and this book tells the story of their love, their heartache and their survival.
Dar and Nate have a history that will make you revel in the joy of young love and make you ache in the wake of seeing it torn apart. We see both the past and the present collide in Waiting to Breathe. After a failed try at love between Dar and Nate they have conceded to having a purely physical relationship. They are the salve to each other’s pains and have used sex to heal both their wounds. BUT there is one flaw in their plan and that is the everlasting love that is still between them and it’s there folks, burning like a fiery ember that can’t be blown out. You feel every ounce of emotion from these characters, EVERYTHING.
You feel Dar’s fears, her anxiety, her disgust, her shame and her resolve to protect those she loves. You feel Nate’s desperation, his guilt, his passion, his own shame and his determination to make Dar apart of his life, to see that they can be happy. But wait there is more, because there is something else that could destroy what Nate and Dar have once again, something sinister that will stop at nothing to get revenge...
Oh…you thought I was going to tell you what that is, oh no sorry you need to read for that. Trust me you won’t be disappointed ;)
Chelle takes us through both the present and the past, its crucial in this story to have this dynamic and she does it well. We learn everything about Dar and Nate by actually living through it with them in both time periods. It makes you more invested in their future and in their love.
There is some excellent writing in this book. Chelle has an amazing way of describing certain feelings that they become visuals, something tangible that you can connect with and understand. It’s poetic even in its darkest moments. Chelle definitely distinguishes these story from book 1, even though we are introduced to these characters in Just Breathe their story is very different than Cass and Lucas. Their burdens, their past and the events that take place in the present are a bit darker, twisted and at times hard to endure. But as a reader you want them to survive it, you want to survive it with them. I wanted nothing but to see Nate and Dar happy and together. These are two characters who in your heart feel that they deserve it, they deserve that chance that they didn’t have before. I think if an author can make you feel that much for her characters then she has done right by her book and Chelle has done exactly that.

Life is full of the unexpected. At times, the only thing you can do is just breathe.
For twenty-four year old Cassandra Anderson, life hasn't been easy. Haunted daily by her own demons and memories of the past, she suffers from panic attacks and questionable anal-retentiveness. The motto she lives by is "Trust no one. Fear nothing."
Bartender Lucas Daniels comes into her life like a whirlwind. Hot enough to melt wax, he is tantalizing, sometimes overbearing, and quite possibly one of her weaknesses. Lucas, having secrets of his own, understands pain all too well.
Only time can tell what the future holds for them. Will Lucas cause Cass to question everything? Will she be drawn to him or will they end in resentment?
