Review: Colette Jackson is a twenty-nine year old woman who married a much older man to get away from her abusive parnets. A man almost thirty years her senior, because he offered to take care of her and her alocholic parents. But what Colette doesn't understand is why her husband never wants to make love to her.

They have never even slept in the same bed in all the years they had been married to each other. No matter how many ways she tries to seduce him into her bed, he won't come. To make up for not making love to her. Her husband takes her on all sort of romantic and unique trips. Colette loves the trips, but it doesn't make up for her thinking she's unattractive to her much older husband.

All while she trying to make her husband fall in love with her, Colette also has to fight off the advances of her stepson,who is the same age as her. She tells him repeatedly they are only friends, but he doesn't listen and promises revenge when Colette shuns him for the last time.

Feeling tired and worn out, Colette tries to get out of going to the trip to Alaska with her husand, but he talks her into it.
On the Alaksa trip, she can't keep her eyes off of the sexy tour guide Jean Luc, but she should because she's a married woman and Jean Luc is a white man.

Sensing that they need some time alone her husband takes her out sightseeing away from the group and gets killed while saving her life from a polar bear and her cubs.

Jean Luc notices that the couple is missing and tells the other tour guide to take the other guests back to the plane he'll find Colette and her husband, but in doing that gets snowed in with Colette in a small cramped cabin.

Still breathing is a wonderful novel about a young woman who has to learn the meaning of the word love before she knows how to give it back to the man she really loves. In addition, she finds out a great deal of things about her parents on the way to discovering who she truly is and having the strenght to fight for the man she has only truly loved.

It does take the book a little while to get to the IR part, but once you get there you will be gald you took time out of you day to read this amazing book.
