Twenty-one-year-old
Elle Granger’s boyfriend broke up with her like a coward. He moved to another
city without so much as a "goodbye." Devastated and embarrassed, Elle
told friends the break-up was mutual and she endured the heartbreaking split
without support from the people she's closest with. Instead, she embraced her
librarian job as therapy and spent her nights medicated by a thick cloud of pot
smoke. With her lungs, and heart, screaming for a break, Elle quits smoking
cold turkey. Just when she's about to ask for support from her friends, and let
them in on the truth of Jason's humiliating betrayal, her best friend moves to
Spain.
Enter
sexy-as-hell library patron Dominic, who literally knocks Elle off her feet
during a memorable first encounter. Can he help her forget Jason's very
existence? He can sure try, and Elle is more than ready to let him. Dominic makes
Elle feel wanted and special, and puts effort into coming up with dates that
don’t set off her Synaesthesia. Just when Elle is starting to feel whole again,
Jason returns, determined to reunite. His effusive apology and reasons for
leaving are a balm to her battered ego, but she rebuffs his attention.
But
nothing good can last forever, and Elle catches Dominic in a devastating lie.
How could she have been so wrong about both Jason and Dominic? Is letting Jason
back into her heart a safe bet since he has already proven he can't be trusted?
The wrong choice could see Elle's happy ending go up in smoke. But when your
only choices are the devils you know, all you can do is JUST BREATHE.
This is my first time reading Tamara Mataya and I absolutely LOVE her style of writing. She captured me right from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final words. The descriptive scene development placed me right there with Elle.
>In my opinion, the character development was very good. The witty humor and sexy scenes were a great mix. If my love for Elle wasn’t enough, when Hazel Eyes walked up, I was wishing I was the librarian from the first glance.
> This book is different than anything I’ve read which only had me loving it even more. Having no experience or knowledge with synaesthesia, I enjoyed not only learning more about the condition but the way Dominic was with Elle.
Go one-click this book, I guarantee you’ll enjoy this quirky book and the authors amazing writing style!

Mataya is currently a librarian; she lurked there for so long recommending
books to patrons and shushing people, that she suspects they only hired her so
it would be less creepy. Now she’s armed with a name tag, and a thin veneer of
credibility. She’s also a musician with synaesthesia – which isn't an issue
until someone plays a wrong note, which makes her want to squirm inside out. It
makes for a good live show.
