Breathless (Squad Goals #4)


I SHOULD be taking this time to catch up on incoming ARCs instead of catching up on new TBRs...Should be. Here's Willow Thoams's "Breathless." It's the fourth book in her Squad Goals series. 

["The Cheerleader and The Guy Next Door

Perry
My life is a mess.
My mom and sister treat me like I’m the worst person in the world because I enforce my lone boundary. I’m really close to failing a class that is crucial to my degree. The very important regional cheerleading competition is coming up.
It’s a lot.
Then I meet my new neighbor and realize it’s the hot guy who witnessed something I do not want my cheer squad to find out. My life gets even more messy as I come up with a proposition to convince him to keep my secret.
He tells me he’ll keep my secret anyway, so why do I push him to take the deal?

Beau
Inheriting my grandfather’s old house after he passes away is bittersweet. It’s not been lived in for twenty years and is next to a house full of college cheerleaders, but it is perfect for me and my bee hives.
When I introduce myself to the squad, I come face to face with Perry, the guy whose family life imploded in front of me weeks ago.
He offers to help me kick start my business in exchange for never mentioning what I witnessed. No way would I say anything, but I still take him up on his offer.
Perry is the kind of man you use any excuse to spend time with.
So I do."]

I love how short and sweet these novels are. There is only enough angst to keep the plot moving, there's no third-act-break-up business, and there's barely any spice. Okay, so that last one is more of a negative. BUT these two were sooooo freaking adorable. I loooooved their inner monologues and their banter and the nicknames. They were perfect!
