Luke Hardy.
Mysterious, moody and all alpha, Luke is hiding a secret—one that Callie never saw coming.
The secret, however, is nothing compared to the discovery she makes about Luke’s family when she starts a new job at the local paper. Callie finds herself caught between her morals and her desires. Whichever path she chooses, someone will lose. Is she ready to give up the man she’s just found or will she go against everything she believes in so she can finally have the love she’s always dreamt of?
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Callie St. James is having a dry spell. Currently working a job as a waitress and trying to a publishing deal for one of her books Callie has resorted to Internet dating. To say it’s not going well is an understatement. For year she’s been losing after Luke Hardy. A man who she argues with constantly and is so bossy is about to steal her breath. If only love was that simple.
Luke Hardy is all alpha and a moody one at that. He’s got secrets. Huge secrets that have torn his world apart. He’s also attracted to Callie but terrified of rejection at the same time. How will Callie handle all his secrets and what a relationship with him will entail? What will happen when Callie discovers some secrets on her own and once again opens old wounds for Luke while facing a huge dilemma between her morals and her feelings for Luke?
I really loved this story Callie is one tough cookie and can give just as good as she gets. She’s got a talent for writing and is fighting to make that dream come true. Most of all she’s is like the rest of us and wants someone she can spend her life with. So one who adores her as much as he respects her. Luke is an amazing character too who is living life I can not even imagine. Luke’s life has been basically destroyed but he has reasons for fighting for what he wants. Together Callie and Luke have sparks flying all over the place while she takes no crap of him and he’s being his usual bossy self. I dint want to give away any of the secrets being kept in this book. Half the fun was discovering them and seeing the reactions of the people discovering them. This is a love story that you fight right along beside the characters to get to the happily ever after. It is a story about fighting for what’s right and what you believe in no matter the cost. Filled with many characters you will come to love there is never a dull moment in Steal My Breath.
Nina Levine has done an amazing job with this book and I hope people will give it a chance instead of judging and throwing it down. Steal My Breath is a story that unfold in layers and everything is not as it seems. I enjoyed it and thought it was amazing and I hope y’all will too.

Excerpt
I stand and move to him. His back muscles tense when I place my hand on his shoulder. “I want to get to know everything about you, Luke Hardy,” I say and he spins around to face me.
His eyes search mine. “You already know the important bits.”
“No, I don’t.” I rest my hand against his chest. “I don’t know the secrets you keep locked in here. They’re the important bits.”
His intake of breath is sharp and he wraps his hand around mine. His other hand slides around my waist and he pulls me close.
Oh, shit.
No.
Too close.
But his lips brush across mine before I can move out of his embrace. His hold is tight and his message is very clear—he’s in charge here and if a kiss is what he wants, a kiss is what he will have.
He surprises me, though, and angles his face away from mine. Still keeping hold of me, he says, “I know we’re doing the friends-only thing for awhile, but a man’s got needs, Callie. If you put your hands on me, you better be prepared for the consequence of that.”
I’m pretty sure my eyes almost pop out of my head. I knew Luke was bossy—oh, boy did I know—but this is a whole new level of bossy. His deep voice vibrates along my skin, scattering goose bumps, while his eyes penetrate my soul. Those intense, green eyes of his will do it to me every time. They’ll cause me to forget everything I’ve ever said or thought and just cling to him for the ride.
He dips his face again and his mouth finds mine. The moment our lips connect sparks of desire burn through me. I’m so damn hot for him and I can’t control myself. I push my body hard against his and open my mouth to him.
He tastes like whiskey and I make a note to buy some just so I can remember this moment forever. I’ve never loved whiskey before, but it may just be my new favourite drink.
This kiss will forever live in my mind. Luke doesn’t simply kiss—he possesses. He takes me mind, body and soul.
In this kiss I find hope.
Hope that he will fight for me.
For the us we both want.
ESCAPE WITH AN ALPHA
Dreamer.
When I’m not creating with words you will find me planning my next getaway, visiting somewhere new in the world, having a long conversation over coffee and cake with a friend, creating with paper or curled up with a good book and chocolate.
I love Keith Urban, Maroon 5, Pink, Florida Georgia Line, Bon Jovi, Matchbox 20, Lady Antebellum and pretty much any singer/band that is country or rock.
I’ve been writing since I was twelve. Weaving words together has always been a form of therapy for me especially during my harder times. These days I’m proud that my words help others just as much as they help me.
