The Air He Breathes

By: Brittainy C. Cherry

Narrated by: Brian Pallino, Erin Mallon

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.

Heartbreaking and heavy

Wow. This one was emotional. I hesitated on the book because I read the preview and could see it would be a heavy story, but after hating the last three I listened to, I finally landed on this one. I'm glad I did. It was adult...something a lot of books have been lacking, and it was deeply heartbreaking and beautiful. At 32, finding a great story that doesn't revolve around college age is getting more difficult, and its hard to get into the mind set.. here, you're dealing with loss and pain that play on your biggest fears. The author nailed it, there were eye roll moments, but at the same time they were fairly relatable. I formed an emotional bond to the characters and even found myself so sad I was throwing it aside only to pick it right back up because I had to know what was next. Brian Pallino was the other reason I finally decided on this one, he and Erin Mallon both are fantastic. Great read, fantastic listen, but prepare yourself to feel the emotions.

Too much drama

And not in the good sense, the forever surly narration of the male character didn't help. I'm more than ok with dramatic plots but this was just too centralized on it for me to enjoy much.

Omg wow

Ok I have to say before you start this book get a box of tissues. I ugly cried a lot during this book but loved how the Author brought the book to life and the narrators are amazing. this is a must have

I have never cried more

it was an outstanding book the story has been kinda done before so I had called the twist but it was a beautifully crafted story.

Such a tragic but beautiful story!

Another sad but beautiful story. I was sucked in from the very beginning and could not listening to this book. Brian’s narration of Tristian was great. I could heard the agony in his voice which broke my heart every time. Definitely moving on to book 2.

Beautiful

It really was a beautiful story about love, loss, grief and finding tour way back to opening your heart for more love.

EXCELLENT

Everyone said this book was good and sad and good it was and exciting and twisting in unexpectingdly good ways EXCELLENT!!!! Do READ with tissues at hand

wow!!

This story is so raw and beautiful yet sad and eye opening. I'm glad Tristian let Liz in. The ending was the craziest plot twist iI have heard in a romance in a long time. Such a good read!!

OMG

so good. amazing read. scepticism almost has me. but I'm glad I gave this a chance.

a rollercoaster lesson

I'm always in awe by Brittany's skill with the pen. Bravo. I love how irritating a character could be, but you learn deeper there's rhyme & reason to what makes them the way they are. you become invested. I became invested in the family before they were a family.
