Misbehaving - Abbi Glines - Sea Breeze

 Misbehaving by Abbi Glines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Okay this review is hard for me, I devoured this book!  But I have to say it's because I LOVED Jess.  Abbi Glines needs more 'bad girl' books.  The reason this is hard for me is because I liked Jason in all previous books but in this book...he fell short.  I liked him in the first chapter and thought WOW this has real promise... Then I really didn't care for him at all until the last couple chapters.  And he redeemed himself.  I expected more from you Jason!!!  Jason gets a 2.5 in my eyes but Jess gets a 5 so I am giving a high review.  I ADORED Jess, I always wanted to know more about her in the other books and this felt right.  Her character was well developed and exceeded my expectations!  Kudos to you Miss Glines but honestly I feel Jess deserved a better man... the heart wants what it wants though and I respect her decision to be with Jason and as I said, he did redeem himself in the end...

Sometimes It Lasts - Abbi Glines - Sea Breeze

Sometimes It Lasts by Abbi Glines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Sometimes it lasts... The sequel to Cage & Eva's story.  To be honest I liked this one even more than While It Lasts.  I absolutely loved the bond that Cage grew with Eva.  It was a really beautiful story to read and I connected to them on a deeper level in this book.  It was also great reading about the rest of the Sea Breeze crew, I just really wish there was a story for Jeremy, I've grown quite fond of the man he is as well....

If you love Sea Breeze and you thought Cage and Eva's story was over, think again, you will love Sometimes It Lasts.  Now I'm eager to start Misbehaving!  :)  I'm in an Abbi Glines zone right now!

Just For Now - Abbi Glines

Just for Now by Abbi Glines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really like Just For Now.  I would put this as my #2 after Breathe so far in the Sea Breeze series.  I liked Preston, I understand why he did what did.  I fell in love with his siblings.  Those parts were what really sold me on the book, they were the real highlights.  Brent, Jimmy, and Daisy held my heart.  It was nice seeing bits of Sadie/Jax, Marcus/Low, and Cage/Eva.  I don't have a lot to say about this book, it was good, it was sexy, and fulfilled my craving for some easy light reading...

While It Lasts - Abbi Glines - Sea Breeze

While It Lasts by Abbi Glines

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I've really enjoyed my journey into Sea Breeze so far!  My favorite was Breathe followed by Because of Low.  I did enjoy While It Lasts wanting to see into Cage York's mind.  Unfortunately we didn't really see any of the "bad boy" he was in the previous book!  However, I really enjoyed reading his transformation story into a man who can love one woman.  Eva was a good heroine and her story was different which I enjoyed.  Yee-haw!

This book is MUCH steamier than the first two!  I am old enough to appreciate that!

I rated this a 3.5*

Because of Low - Abbi Glines

Because of Low by Abbi Glines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I'm a huge fan of HEA or feel good books!  Just to throw that out there before my review... I don't like crying ugly tears when reading a book because I want to go to my happy place!

I finally decided to hop on the Sea Breeze train as I love Abbi Glines and have read several of her other books.  What I really enjoyed was the storyline.  I loved the plot and story, there was more to it than easy affection and instant love.  There was depth to the story.  I definitely figured out the twist early and was so excited to see how it would play out.  I really liked Marcus in Breathe and was happy he got his own story in Because of Low, I wasn't sure if anyone could compare to my love for Sadie White but Low was a really great contender for Marcus's heart.  She was real, she had issues, and I love how Abbi Glines writes her characters in a way that enhances their flaws and show us that they are not perfect. 

This was a quick, light, easy read and I really enjoyed it.  I also loved little Larissa!  I've already started While it Lasts and am eager to read about Mr. Cage York!

Breathe - Abbi Glines - Sea Breeze #1

Everyone knows I'm a huge Abbi Glines fan and I decided to try out the Sea Breeze series...

Breathe by Abbi Glines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Jax Stone for book boyfriend anyone!!??

So the first thing I noticed about this book that I devoured, was how real Sadie White appeared. She was down to earth, caring, compassionate, and everything you want in a heroine. She's a good girl and mature beyond her years.  I felt empathy towards her situation. Sadie is in high school with a pregnant mother who wouldn't work, so Sadie works in her mothers place. Anyways I love Jax Stone and I loved the relationship between these two.

If you want something that is an easy, quick, carefree, HEA read, then check this out! I was hooked from the start and couldn't put it down... Just a feel good book.

Forever Too Far - Abbi Glines

Forever Too Far by Abbi Glines

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


So I loved the first two books, couldn't put them down.  I was so disappointed in this one!  It took me weeks to get through... Abbi Glines is an amazing author no doubt.  I feel like this book lacked any depth and was just written to get readers interested in the Woods/Della and Grant/Harlow series coming out.  There was a lot of action going on with these other couples to kind of grab your attention and I really want to read the Woods series now but that's all I got out of this book.  I'm so happy Rush and Blaire got their happily ever after but didn't really see a need for this one.

Never Too Far - Abbi Glines

Never Too Far by Abbi Glines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I literally couldn't put the book down.  I read it over the course of a few hours, completely abandoning my children for the day.  I'm really addicted to these characters so I'm sad it ends after Forever Too Far.

Okay, so this book has both Blaire and Rush POVs.  It starts with Blaire back in Alabama and she ends up deciding to go back to Florida.  She doesn't want to but she has to do what is best for her and we all know Woods and the boys pay well at the country club so she can save up money fast!  She's determined to stay away from Rush but he is determined to rush in (pun intended) and make her love him.

Rush is like perfect amazing swoon boyfriend in this book... He messes up a few times but he's quick to beg for forgiveness.  He gets torn between his family and Blaire... but YOU WILL FALL FOR HIM if you haven't already.  He's just perfect in this book.  Abbi Glines can do one thing really well and that's make you swoon over a bad boy.

Fallen Too Far - Abbi Glines

Why did I wait so long to read this?

Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


So I wanted something different than the common paranormal, more mature than a YA, and a bit more young adult than 50 Shades (I read all of these types of books)... This fit the bill.  Blaire is 19 and Rush is 24... I honestly didn't care for Rush in the beginning but started falling for him when Blaire did.

There's sexual content, it's graphic!  I hadn't been expecting that.  The story was really good though and Abbi Glines knows romance!  Blaire is your typical hurt and sad "poor girl" working her way through life with the hands she's dealt.  Rush is your typical pretty, privileged, work for nothing, "rich boy" that's used to getting whatever he wants.

This book was super addictive, I read it in a day and eagerly bought number 2 and am almost finished with that one!  Yes the storyline is the typical rich boy falling for the poor girl.  These types of books sell though and if there's nothing wrong, don't change it.  The plot thickens and there is a storyline that's more complicated added to the basic concept.

Not the most in depth but I give it 5 stars because of the addiction factor... good easy quick read for someone who wants to take their mind of things for a few hours!

Ceaseless - Abbi Glines - Existence Trilogy

Ceaseless by Abbi Glines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Pagan is back with no memories of Dank, Leif, Gee, or most of her senior year of high school.  Her soul's mate from book two, Jay is to make an attempt at her heart and Dank will as well and who she chooses will be what decides if she will regain her old memories or not.  Dank is the ultimate swoon worthy guy.  He takes such good care of Pagan and I think every girl wants a little Death in her life. 

Jay is kind of a jerk right off so you don't really feel that spark or connection with him and Pagan is very matter of fact and I like that about her personality.  Who will she choose and will she regain her memories?

Words to the wise, this book has much more profanity than the others and a lot of sex.  Not just Pagan but all the characters and they talk about it a lot too.  It's not for the younger readers.

The book is a page turner and if you are a fan of the series you wont be able to put it down.  I read it in a single sitting with doesn't happen often.

So I love Abbi Glines work and was going to dock this one point due to the spelling errors in the beginning.  I read the few pages about the author and such at the end and she noted that she didn't have the book finished and ready for publication but a week til it's release.  The errors bothered me but after reading the book in it's entirety I decided not to dock it anything.

PREDESTINED - ABBI GLINES

Predestined by Abbi Glines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


So I had been waiting for this book FOREVER!  The book flows quickly and you can easily read it in a short period of time.  I love this about Abbi Glines writing style.  Her flow is amazing and her characters are catchy.

I fell in love with Dank in Existence.  In this book he wasn't as impressive to me.  I found parts of him kind of annoying, he spent little to zero time with Pagan.  At one point he was extremely rude to another guy.  I just didn't swoon over Dank the way I did in book 1.

Leif...  Well the author made me really like Leif.  He was sweet and selfless even though she wrote that he was a coward and selfish.  I didn't see that at all.  In all of Pagan's memories of Leif he was extremely generous and kind.

Gee, Miranda, and Pagan really made this book for me.  They were ultimately my favorite characters in Predestined.

So with that said, I was really confused and torn.  The only logical answer is to wait for the third book and see how everything pans out.  Also excited to see Leif's story.  :)

Existence by Abbi Glines - READ IT NOW!!! AMAZING!

So wow...  I will reiterate something I wrote in my review, this book makes me want to lower every other book I've read by at least 1 star it is that good.  I recommend you buy it and read it now!  I have no idea what to do now...  I feel lost without Pagan and Dank :P 

Existence by Abbi Glines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I was instantly hooked to this book!  This book makes me want to take every other review I've written and drop a star from each one that's how good it was.  I was not going to read it because the characters' names were Dank, Leif, Pagan, Gee, all really strange besides Miranda.  But the reviews of the book were so good and I decided to go for the free sample, instantly I was attached to Pagan and the story and knew I'd be buying it.



Pagan is a really likeable girl, she cares about her friends and others feelings, she's someone you automatically sympathize with and befriend.  Her best friend Miranda is funny and quirky.  Pagan sees dead people but they've never talked to her before until she met Dank, but he's different.  Pagan is pretty and smart, she dates the star quarterback but her attraction to Dank the spirit that talks is unreal.



Okay I thought the plot sounded dumb, I'm older and thought who would fall in love with a ghost???  But Dank isn't your average hot dead guy.  I wont give anything away but I fell for him too.  The cover of this book is gorgeous.  I cannot wait for the next book, I did read this will be a trilogy last night when I finished it.



I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone, go read it now!!!  What are you waiting for, the reviews are amazing, don't wait like I did!!!  Did I mention I LOVE Dank???
