Purchase With Every Breath
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
First and Foremost, I have to say that Lia Riley can write just about any type of story and completely suck you right into the scene. Her words are such a pull that you can almost see and feel the surroundings of all the fantastic places her characters move through. Vivid imagery, deep characters and heavy emotions add a distinct touch to each and every story as well.
With Every Breath reels you in with two people who couldn't be more different and yet seem to have found their perfect match. Auden is bound and determined to catch a big story and move up in the journalist world for the magazine she's got a new internship for. In addition to making her career dreams come true, she's also determined to find herself. To find the new and hopefully improved Auden. One who isn't hurt by a sister who seems determined to hurt her in every way at every turn.
Rhys is on his own mission, some would say a suicide mission, but he's resolved that he's going to climb La Aguja and find absolution or something like that. It's something he feels he has to do, something he doubts anyone else would understand. But he's going to do it alone, not like he has anyone to go with anyways.
When Rhys and Auden's paths cross, it seems meant to be. Auden's trying to find who she is, and Rhys doesn't want to know who he is. He doesn't want to be who he feels he is really. But one things for certain, they can't keep away from each other. What starts as a need to rescue the silly girl who wandered into his camp turns into something more. Something Rhys has never really felt before and something that scares him. Auden finds herself feeling out of place as well, she sees in herself something she doesn't like and though she doesn't act on that impulse it remains in her mind.
When Rhys learns more about who Auden really is, he doesn't react well. There is so much going on inside of his head, so much he's hidden and pushed away because he can't handle what others think of him. He's let himself be overwhelmed with guilt and let others decide his character rather than attempt to explain himself.
With Every Breath gives us the story of two lost souls who find themselves in the wild, on an adventure that went ways they never expected and couldn't have believed possible. Rhys and Auden delve deep into high emotions, thrusting their selves on a soul searching journey and come out on the other side having found more than who they really are. Their story is full of pain, full of grief and guilt and a loss of real connection. This book takes you on a full out adventure, a trek into the wild, into the unknown with no real expectations and rips emotions out of you as you put together details and watch two people become the healing balm they both needed in completely different ways.
GIVEAWAY:
Lia 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.
