Breathe With Me
by Becka Mack
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
This is not the Becka Mack book you expect. Cara and Emmett are already married, already in love -- the conflict is life itself refusing to cooperate. The infertility journey is written with brutal honesty, the kind that will gut readers who have lived it. But Mack earns every tear with a foster care arc that redefines what family means. The whole Vipers crew shows up one last time, and the series finale sticks the landing.
Synopsis
Cara Hunter is a self-made woman. Driven and fearless, she’s never lost a battle. In fact, the only time she’s fallen to her knees was, well . . . for him. Emmett Brodie might be one of hockey’s hottest players, but the moment he sees Cara, he’s reduced to a single word: hers. And he’ll stop at nothing to change her last name. With a love as all-encompassing and fierce as theirs, they become the ultimate power couple and the backbone of their family. But when they decide it’s time to have a baby, they discover their journey to conceiving will be anything but easy. As they face off with infertility, a battle that strips them to their bones, they’ll see just how unshakable their foundation really is. They thought they could survive anything together, but how do you survive when you’re barely breathing?
