She’s his best friend’s little sister. Completely off-limits. And now she’s moving in with him…

When Gabe Winter’s best friend calls with an unusual request – give his broken-hearted little sister a roof over her head for a few months – he readily accepts.

But he doesn’t expect Nicole to be quite so enticing. Or for her to bring out all the feelings in him. Feelings he thought he’d buried long ago, beneath his easy-going façade and womanizing reputation.

But now they’re spending late nights watching movies together, snuggled beneath the blankets with popcorn in their hands. And there's inches between her lips and his.

It’s wrong but it’s also inevitable. He’s falling for the one woman he shouldn’t want.

He’s in over his head, but drowning never felt so good.

After devouring the first two books in the Winterville series, I was super excited to read ‘Leave Me Breathless’ the third book. I’ve always had a thing for romance stories involving ‘best friends little sister’, so when I received this ARC I started reading right away.

In ‘Leave Me Breathless’ we meet Gabe Winter. As an ex professional snowboarder, he is working hard to build a winter sports resort in Winterville. Gabe doesn’t have a lot of free time, and doesn’t waste his time with romance. But when his best friend asks for a favor, looking for place where his younger sister can hide from her ex, he can’t say no. From the moment Gabe and Nicole meet there’s this instant connection between the two of them. Gabe feels very protective of Nicole, and he would do anything to make her feel at home. He is definitely one of the good guys.

Nicole is horrified after finding her ex with another girl. And all she wants is to hide away for a while and make a life for herself without her ex and the disapproving looks of her parents. Soon staying with Gabe starts to feel more and more like home. She loves spending time with Gabe, and she loves his protectiveness. And the attraction between them grows more and more every day.

I know I say it every time I read a book in this series.. but this book was amazing and is totally my new favorite in the series. I loved everything about this book. The two main characters Gabe and Nicole are just so fun to get to know. And they honestly felt so real to me. The romance between them is perfectly swoon worthy. It gave me all the feels and I couldn’t put this book down.

As in the previous book in this series, this book can be read as a standalone. But I definitely loved having read this series in order so far. It’s so much fun reading little bits about the previous main characters. And the setting in Winterville is definitely one of my favorite settings. It makes me miss those snow filled Swiss mountains I grew up with so much.

‘Leave Me Breathless’ was a wonderful romance novel I absolutely adored.
