BREATHE DEEP . . . AND JUMP IN

At the ends of the earth, Patagonia is a land where ambition trumps reason and the savage summit of La Aguja lures the most determined climbers. It’s also the last spot a “play-it-safe girl” like Auden Woods expects to find herself. But she’ll lace up her brand-new hiking boots and do whatever it takes to secure a dream job at an adventure magazine . . . even if it kills her. And it just might. When disaster strikes, her only chance at survival comes in the form of the surliest, sexiest mountaineer ever to come out of Scotland.

After a climbing accident cost him his brother, professional mountaineer Rhys MacAskill is at the end of his rope. Redemption is not in his future. That is, until a terrifying storm blows a budding journalist into his tent and it’s up to him to make sure they both survive until morning. Despite the demons weighing on him, Rhys can’t resist the temptation of the charming American and one wild night just isn’t enough.

Auden and Rhys soon learn there are no shortcuts as they navigate their way between life, death, and atonement, and discover something they never expected-love. “Riley writes a captivating story from beginning to breathtaking end.” -Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Inside Out

tina thoughts a review for youSometimes the adventure you have planned for yourself  is not what life has planned. This book beautifully communicates that fact. When I started reading With Every Breath I had an expectation of how this book would progress and it went to places even better than I anticipated. It is set in such a vibrant and exciting location, the Patagonia, a place on my bucket list. The themes and situations are things that tug on my wanderlust heart strings. Lia Riley takes something that is adventurous and daring and turns it into something heartfelt and life altering. This book was about more than climbing a mountain and falling in love. It is about discovering who you are and embracing every aspect of the yourself. It is about learning to let go and leave behind the toxicity that tries to drag you down and learning to forgive and trust yourself.

Our heroine and hero are two fantastic characters! Auden is yet another fun and sassy heroine to add to Lia’s resume. She is fresh and full of spunk. Her personality is vibrant. When she is in the Patagonia, she learns to be bold and embrace every aspect of who she is, not hiding the parts others may frown upon. She is a relatable NA heroine, one who bit off more than she can chew and attempts to conquer the world in front of her. She grows so much in this story and her growth is both believable and admirable.
Rhys. Ah! Be still my heart. He is one of my ultimate book boyfriends. He is rugged, handsome, surly, determined, fierce, and kind. His sense of adventure is sexy. I love the mountains and the culture of climbing. Lia does a great job of exploring that sense of adventure and how it weaves into who he is. This sexy Scotsman is rough around the edges but when you get to the gooey center you cannot help but melt.
The chemistry between Rhys and Auden is on fire. These two cannot seem to keep away from each other. A chance encounter turns into something more. The environment and companionship allows for them both to embrace a new part of who they are. Rhys challenges Auden to be more bold and true to her wants and needs. Rhys is challenged by Auden to see things in a new perspective. She is a constant push of fresh life on his dark mood and it challenges him to see things in a new way. These two connect fast and deep. What starts as a fling becomes something that has the potential to change their future.

As with everyone of Lia’s stories, there are hard themes to read. What could be a downer on the story is woven so intricately into what is happening that you cannot help but connect with the hardships of each character. Auden and Rhys are the main focus of this book, allowing the reader to connect whole-heartedly with their story. The secondary characters are vital to who Rhys and Auden are. They feed into what is happening but the majority of the story takes place in the beauty of the mountains with just out two main characters. This book snuck onto my best of 2015 right there at the end of the year, It is a story of adventure, love, and self discovery you will not want to miss.Hiking in the vast landscape of Julian Alps.

ABOUT THE AUTHORc0b23-lia2brileyLia Riley writes offbeat New Adult and Contemporary Adult romance. After studying at the University of Montana-Missoula, she scoured the world armed only with a backpack, overconfidence and a terrible sense of direction. She counts shooting vodka with a Ukranian mechanic in Antarctica, sipping yerba mate with gauchos in Chile and swilling XXXX with stationhands in Outback Australia among her accomplishments.

A British literature fanatic at heart, Lia considers Mr. Darcy and Edward Rochester as her fictional boyfriends. Her very patient husband doesn’t mind. Much. When not torturing heroes (because c’mon, who doesn’t love a good tortured hero?), Lia herds unruly chickens, camps, beach combs, daydreams about future books, wades through a mile-high TBR pile and schemes yet another trip. Right now, Icelandic hot springs and Scottish castles sound mighty fine.

She and her family live mostly in Northern California.
