I am pleasantly surprised with how good While It Lasts is. I've read Abbi's other books, liked them, and was expecting the same for this one. I, however, ended up loving it.

Abbi's writing has really matured, along with the story. She stepped out of YA and moved right into Adult in the most perfect way. I'm young and I like the characters to be around my age (late teens/early 20s), you don't see that a lot in Adult. YA can sometimes be a little too unreal, with 'forevers' and highly guarded virtues. Abbi really combined the best of both worlds, the story was realistic. Cage and Eva's relationship progressed like a normal couple in this generation, there was no underlying moral lesson.

I didn't think I would be all that interested in Cage's story. Previously, he hadn't been my favorite character. To be honest, I wasn't all that 'wowed' with the prior two books in the series. They were classic YA, not bad but didn't really stand out for me. I read a lot, 2 - 3 books a day by indie writers. I always thought Abbi was more talented than many of the others, but I was waiting for her to put out a book I could honestly say I loved and would re-read it. This is it!

I enjoyed watching bad-boy Cage fall for the one girl he couldn't have. It was good to see him work for it. Eva was great too, but a little too innocent. That was the point, though. They have great dynamics, and Abbi really has the ability to convey everything they were feeling/thinking.

This is the one for Abbi, I could definitely see this book going far!!

OMG! OMG! OMG!

This book was fast-paced! I mean, there was just so much happening. I couldn't put this book down and had it read within 4 hours of it hitting my Kindle.

Grant has been "my" guy throughout this series. He's a great secondary character and I loved getting inside his mind in TAKE A CHANCE. Harlow is Abbi's best female character yet. I can connect with her better than the others and find both her and Grant more...real.

The chemistry between these two is amazing and the steamy scenes were a lot hotter than the previous books in this series.

Yes, there is a cliffhanger but it didn't take away from the storyline. In fact, the anticipation is killing me and I look forward to the rest of Grant & Harlow's story.

Abbi Glines has done it again! But of course she has, any time I get to read more CAGE YORK I'm a happy girl!! I LOVE CAGE! Always have always will. And this book just makes me love him more! And Eva too - I love her sweetness and her good heart and I just always want all good things for her. I read the entire book in a day. It's not very long but I also just could not put it down at all. I stayed up late, I recharged Kindle before it could die on me, I refused to go to sleep until I got to the end and their HEA! I will say after I read the Prologue I cried. I screamed. I texted my friend Olivia who had already read it and asked her to reassure me that all would be well and that I needed to go on. I was angry and confused. But I trusted Abbi Glines to get me to a happy place and sure enough she did! This book was very emotional for me. There are tears, often. Keep the tissues by your side for this one! But there is also happiness and joy. Of course there is. This is Cage and Eva after all. We also get more of Low and Marcus and Preston and Amanda all of whom I love and adore.
Thank you Abbi Glines for completing Cage and Eva's story. I hope it's not the end of the series because I'd love to see where they (and the others) go from here!

Simple Perfection (Rosemary Beach #5)
By: Abbi Glines
5/5 stars

Woods Kerrington is back in Rosemary Beach, with his girlfriend, Della Sloane and now is the sole owner and operator of Kerrington Country Club after the sudden death of his father, at the end of book 3, Twisted Perfection.

Woods is now running all the business side of the operation that his father used to run, and is still running and managing the day to day operations of the country club, which has always been his job and trying to look out for and protect Della all while dealing with the fact that his mother still won't accept Della and Angelina Greystone, his ex-fiance, has become a live-in companion to his mother. In book 4, Forever Too Far, we did see the confrontation between Della & Angelina, which Blaire stepped in with her trusty pistol and ended!

Angelina and his mother are still hell-bent on trying to make Woods see reason and get rid of Della, to which Woods adamantly stands up for her and makes no qualms about how important she is in his life and that he will, never, change his mind.

Della has wanted to go back to work, but Woods is too spooked to allow that to happen. He doesnt want her to get spooked or have another episode. Even though this bothers Della, she also doesnt want to be a burden to Woods or give him any cause to worry about her. But she also wants to ease Woods burdens of running the business side of the operations and the day to day operations of the country club, which seem to be more like hour-to-hour which is just too much for Woods to have to be stressed out about. Della does come up with a solution to these problems by becoming Woods assistant and taking care of the country club side.

Woods is all about running the family business and the country club his way and making necessary changes to implement his ideas and usher in a new era. He does a pretty great job at that. We get to see quite a few of the Rosemary crew and Tripp (cousin to Jace, bartender friend of Dellas). Im glad that Abbi Glines writes them all into the books. The supporting cast makes it all flow in a fun manner.

Della learns more about her parents and her past and secrets that she never knew which rock her world and changes her beliefs about herself and what she thought her future would be. She has to work through this newfound knowledge, but in all, it makes her a stronger person.

*Mild spoiler* There is a gut-wrenching catastrophe that will make you sob & ugly cry.

Rosemary Beach is still my favorite Abbi Glines series. Love this crew.

So, at the beginning of each book in this series I think "there's no way this could get better than the one before" and each time I am proven wrong. I don't know how Abbi Glines does it but she does! So far, in this series this has been my favorite book. Something about Cage's story really made me happy. I didn't care for him much in the previous book but after finding out more about his past and what made him the way he was, was very interesting. I also loved reading how he changed when he found Eva. I really liked how she showed losing someone can change you so much. Just how long it take you to move on and how sometimes it takes finding another person to bring you back to life after the loss. Reading Eva's thoughts in the beginning were heartbreaking but as the book progressed it got better and better. This series is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites.

There's just something about Abbi Glines and her books. They don't take a long time to read, but every one of them is such a pleasure to read that she's the writer whi's books I most look forward to read with new upcoming releases.

Twisted Perfection sure as hell wasn't different.

I loved Never Too Far, but felt that it was a teensy bit rushed. TP was not. The plot was exciting, the writing and the sex scenes intoxicating.

Woods is an absolute dream. But Della shows a strength that showed that you can be strong and still need help at the same time. She was what did it for me.

Can't wait for the release of Simple Perfection. Simply. Can't. Wait.

I am a huge Abbi Glines fan!  I do have to say, though, I wasn't sure if I would like Woods' story or not.  He seemed nice enough in Fallen Too Far and Never Too Far, but I just wasn't sure.  Oh, how I love him now!

Della is a new character, if you have read the previous books.  If not, you don't have to.  You will still enjoy this one!  She is taking a road trip to find herself.  She had some bad things happen in her past and she is trying to live life.  I did like how she was not a virgin.  Several of the Adult Contemporary books have the female as a virgin and the male as a player.  It was nice to have one where the female isn't a virgin.  That being said, she's not a slut either.  Anyway, she meets Woods one night, then leaves.  Fast forward 4 months later and they run into each other again.  But things are different for Woods.  He's following in his father's footsteps and doing what his father wants.  But Della changes things for him.  Will it be enough?

There is action and twists, and I wasn't expecting the story to continue, but there will be a second book!  Luckily it didn't leave off at a horrible cliffhanger.  Oh, and it is quite steamy!!!  I definitely recommend reading this book!!!

Abbi did not disappoint! I sat waiting for the book to be released and staring reading it as soon as I got it. I laughed, I cried but most of all I LOVED it. Can't wait for the Tripp and Bethy's story.  And am hoping beyond hope that she also further develops some of the characters she introduced us to in this book.

Misbehaving is the sixth book I have read in the series, and Abbi has yet to disappoint me. The books do follow a somewhat similar format, but I love each and every one of them. Each character is different and works their way into my heart.

In this book, Jason FINALLY gets his own story. I was so glad to see this; he has been one of my favorite characters throughout the entire series. The story opens with him almost hitting a girl, Jess, with his car. as he is arriving in Sea Breeze. He is going to Jaxs beach house to relax and do some thinking about what he wants to do with the rest of his life. But, soon it becomes apparent he won't be resting for long. Jess has literally crashed into his life, and it won't be the same ever again. Jess is the Jasons opposite; she doesnt come from a wealthy family. Her mother is a stripper, and Jess, herself, doesnt have the best reputation around Sea Breeze. As the two consider a fling, they both realize they actually like each  other. But, is that enough to help them overcome their differences and give a real relationship a try?
I have to say that one of the most enjoyable parts of this story was the characters. I LOVED them, even the secondary characters like Jesss mom and of course, Krit!!!! But, by far, my favorite character was Jess. She was different from every female character in the book which I found refreshing. Through Abbis writing, I saw that you cant always judge a book by its cover. Jess came across as brash and to some, trashy, but she was as beautiful on the inside as she was the outside. She had flaws like real people. She may have been drop dead gorgeous, but she had her insecurities, especially where Jason was concerned. But, her most endearing quality was her unfailing loyalty to those she loved, especially to her mother. While I loved Jason most of the time, there were times I really wanted to slap him in the way he treated Jess, but he did redeem himself quite nicely.

Abbi continues to keep me interested and looking forward to her next books. I have already begun reading Krits story which I am LOVING! I love all the characters and the community that Abbi has created in the small town of Sea Breeze. I always anticipate returning and catching up with all of my favorite people!!!

I could not wait for this book to come out and I read it in one night!  Love the follow up and Blaire and her strength and independence.

***Spoiler***

There will be a Book 3 so I now give this 5 stars because I thought Book 2 ended too soon with their relationship still rocky and Rush still needing to prove himself to Blaire.  Granted Nan was hurt but it would have taken me a lot longer to get over the way Rush left Blaire in the driveway and never called to check up on her.

Granted Rush admits that he has never dated or had a relationship before but I still think Blaire should be his #1 focus!

I love Woods and Grant and hope they get their own stories!

Abbi's style is so easy to read.  I will no go back and read some of her other books.

Abbi has done it again!! I have read just about all of Abbi's books and loved them and this one did not disappoint.
All the angst, passion and heartache you can handle. I loved the twist and the fact that when it ended it did not end. It had me hooked right away and I read it straight through. Now i'll patiently wait for the next book for more of a very sexy Rush and hopefully a happy ending for Blaire.
