I really hope you give this series a try it really is a good and addicting series i finished all nine books in six days.
Breathe
Page Count - 333 pgs
ISBN - 978-1-4711-1755-8
Price - GBP -£6.99
Synopsis - Sadie White doesn't get to spend the summer on the beach like most kids. Her mother can't keep a job, so Sadie is forced to work during the break at one of the mansions nearby instead.
Then Sadie discovers Jax Stone, the hottest teenage rock star around, owns The house, and things get a lot more interesting. Jax is adored by teenage girls everywhere - except for Sadie, that is - but the fact she's not impressed by his reputation is exactly what he finds fascinating about her. As the summer passes, Jax and Sadie find themselves drawn to each other, even though their different worlds want to keep them apart. They're about to discover that love can be suffocating, until you find a way to breathe...
So I brought this book on a whim, but I ended up reading it in one sitting and I fell in love with the characters not just the main but also the supporting cast. It was a good book don't get me wrong but it is my least favourite in the series because I wasn't totally sold on the whole Jax as a rock star it just didn't feel right to me but I got over it and still enjoyed the book. Sadie as a character was OK but again not the strongest in the series and was overshadowed but the parts she is in she is the perfect lead female.
So Breathe starts out in Jax's POV and he has just finished his tour and about to go back to his summer home in Sea Breeze. Sadie POV is next and hers starts with her asking her Mum if she is going to work and her mum telling her to go to work for her and that is the start of how Sadie meets Jax along the way she meets motherly figure Ms Mary and hansom stranger Marcus Hardy. When Jax and Sadie finally meet for her its nothing (well that's what she tells herself) and for him its a novelty because no girl has ever not found him attractive and he is hooked from that moment on. their love story is a little bit cliche at some point but all in all it is very endearing and sweet. I'm not going to say much more because i dint want to properly spoil anybody.
Because of Low
ISBN- 978-1-4711-1753-4
Page Count - 290 pgs
Price - GBP - £6.99
Synopsis - Set in the steamy coastal Alabama town of Sea Breeze, an interconnected group of older teens hook up, break up ...and much, much more. Marcus Hardy had hoped to enjoy a year away at college while he put the summer he'd rather forget behind him. But instead, he's jerked right back his home town of Sea Breeze due to a family crisis. The only bright spot to returning is the hot redhead who sleeps over at his place several times a week. There's just one thing though - she's sleeping in bed with his new roommate, Cage York. Willow "Low" Foster needs a place to live. Running to her best friend Cage's apartment every time her sister kicks her out isn't exactly a long term solution. But Cage has a new roommate and suddenly sleeping over at his apartment isn't such a bad thing. Not when she gets to see those sexy green eyes of Marcus's twinkle when he smiles at her like he wants her there. There's one problem though, Cage is under the disillusion that when he's through sowing his wild oats, he's going to marry Low - an assumption Marcus intends to change. But when his carefully laid plans come crashing down with a revelation he never expected, Marcus will have to choose between Low or his family. Because once the truth comes out ...there's no other choice.
Again i loved the characters in this book you have strong feisty Willow and amazingly hot Marcus who is just what every strong female needs someone who can be strong for her. But when family secrets get revealed who can they turn to when they cant be together. In this book we get introduced to Cage York, Lows best friend since forever, and its also a different setting its at Collage instead of in Sea Breeze it has a different feel to it than the first book this book felt like there was more at steak because you also had their families feeling to contend with.
While It Lasts
Page Count - 267 pgs
ISBN - 978-1-4711-1754-1
Price - GBP - £6.99
Synopsis - Set in the steamy coastal Alabama town of Sea Breeze, an interconnected group of older teens hook up, break up ...and much, much more. Cage York has a free ride to college for baseball - or he did, until he got in trouble for drink-driving. Now he has to give in to his coach's demands and spend his summer baling hay. No hot babes in bikinis waiting to meet a Southern boy to make her vacation complete. Just him and the damned cows. Oh and an uptight, snarky brunette with the biggest blue eyes he's ever seen. Eva Brooks planned out her life step by step when she was eight years old. Not once over the years had she lost sight of her goals. Josh Beasley, her next door neighbour, had been the centre of those goals. He'd been her first boyfriend at seven, her first kiss at ten, her first date at fifteen and her first tragedy at eighteen. The moment she'd received the phone call from Josh's mother saying he'd been killed along with four other soldiers just north of Baghdad, Eva's carefully planned life imploded in the worst way possible. Now she has to deal with the arrogant Cage York and his irritating smile. But as the summer bailing hay rolls by, Cage and Eva learn that what they want (and need) may be something they never saw coming.
So Eva and Cage quickly became my favourite couple they are the typical New Adult couple where you have the bad boy and the good girl when i was reading this book the entire time i was singing Farmers Daughter by Rodney Atkins and when ever i hear the song it reminds me of this book. Again this book is not set in Sea Breeze but it still has the same feel to it. Eva is still recovering for her first boyfriends death so she doesn't trust Cage at all and its fun to see her feelings change over a period of time and we see Cage go from a man-whore to a one woman man.
Just For Now
Page Count - 307 pgs
ISBN - 978-1-4711-1752-7
Price - GBP - £6.99
Synopsis - The day Preston Drake figured out that wealthy women paid well for a set of tight abs and a pretty face his life turned around.
The run down rat-infested trailer he had shared with his alcoholic mother and three younger siblings was now only a place he visited to pay the bills and stock the pantry with food.
He no longer worried about his family starving or living without electricity. The money he made entertaining rich older women more than covered his family’s needs and his own. He had it all figured out. Except…
There was this girl.
She was as innocent as he was tainted.
Amanda Hardy wished her knees didn’t get weak when Preston walked into a room. She hated the fact her heart raced when he flashed his smile in her direction. He had a different girl in his bed every night. He was the kind of boy a smart girl ran from. So, why was she coming up with ways to get close to him? Even when it was obvious he wanted to keep her at a distance.
Maybe her heart knew something the world didn’t. Maybe Preston Drake was more than just a pretty face.
so again this was kind of cliche with the whole bad boy falls in love with best friends little sister but it was unique in a way because of the different circumstances surrounding each of their families you have Amanda's parents who are going through a Divorce and you Preston's mum who is a drug addict and he has to find ways of supporting his 3 younger siblings as well as himself and they way he does that nearly tears them apart and there are times in this book where it really made me sad because Abbi Glines knows how to describe scenes in a way that they pull at you heartstrings like little children dealing with their mothers addiction and impact it has on everybody involved life. Amanda is a good female lead she knows right from wrong even if it gets blurred sometimes and even when she has no faith in anybody she still helps others. This was a phenomenal book and a great addition to the series.

So when Cage finally gets his chance, he and Eva must endure a long distance relationship and all the dangerous temptations that come with it. Temptations that former bad boy Cage York may not be able to escape.

Misbehaving

Synopsis - An unexpected affair leads to mind-blowing harmony in this Sea Breeze novel from New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines.
Jason is sick of living in his rock star brother’s shadow. So when he ships off to Sea Breeze, Alabama, he’s looking for a much deserved escape and a chance to blow off some envious steam. Falling for the local bad girl was definitely not the plan. But as the new duo enjoys some naughty fun in the Alabama sun, Jason learns that even though Jax is the musician in the family, he’s not the only brother who can rock someone’s world.
so the dedication in this book pretty much sums it up 'To every reader out there who wanted me to write a "Bad girl" heroine. This one is for you' this book is unique because you have a clean cut guy with a bad girl and obviously its normally the other way round. Jess is a very endearing character you feel yourself rooting for her because she deserves it and she may be a "Bad Girl" to the outside world but with her family she is loving and devoted and has many redeeming qualities. where as Jason i didn't really like him he was OK enough but at times he just really grated on my nerves and that wasn't pleasant to read but i got over it it wasn't major so it was all good in the end.

Hold On Tight

Synopsis - Six years ago, Dewayne Falco's life changed. He lost someone he never expected to lose. Resigned to punish himself for something he felt he could have prevented, he goes through life without getting too close to anyone.
What he didn't expect was for the girl across the street to move back home and remind him of what they both lost: Dewayne's younger brother Dustin. However, when a miniature version of Dustin opens the door to greet him, Dewayne realises he might not have lost everything after all.
Sienna Roy loved Dustin Falco most of her life. He was the boy next door, the high school basketball star and her best friend. But when his life was cut short, she realised he left a part of himself behind.
Now, she's back in Sea Breeze, thankful to have a home for her and Dustin's son, but not sure if she can ever forgive the people across the street who abandoned her when she needed them the most — The Falcos.
Betrayal, lies, and forbidden attraction might end Dewayne and Sienna's story before it's even begun.
This book has some pretty heavy stuff going on you have teen pregnancy, boyfriend dying in drunk driving accidents and here are also a lot of sexual scenes, its probably the most graphic in the series so just be warned if your not okay with that sort of stuff but Dewayne and Sienna have the kind of love you want to experience at least once in your life when you think you have no chance then out of nowhere a chance pops up and you just go for it and ignore what the consequences may be. It was one of those book that's when i put it down i wanted more i didn't want it to be the end and i could have read at least 300 more pages.
Sienna is another strong female lead she has so much to deal with at such a young age and she just dealt with it and never complained, same with Dewayne with a few exceptions he was strong and caring even when he found out about the secret Sienna was keeping for six years.

Synopsis - The back story that fans have been clamouring for - how Rock and Trisha fell in love - is the final instalment in the sizzling Sea Breeze series.
Trisha Corbin always knew how to hide a bruise. And as long as it meant her momma's boyfriends wouldn't go near her little brother, Krit, it was worth it. But dreaming that Prince Charming would ever rescue her was pointless.
Rock Taylor always had a plan - a football scholarship for a major college team was within his reach - if he didn't let anything get in his way. But he'd never factored in trying to score a date with Trisha, the hottest girl in Sea Breeze. She was every man's walking fantasy, and she wouldn't even glance his way.
But when he finds her beaten and bruised, Rock knew his life was about to change and that he'd do anything to save Trisha Corbin, and keep her safe.
This special conclusion to the Sea Breeze series also contains the wrap-up stories of all your favourite Sea Breeze couples - the steamy romance won't stop until the very last page!
So first lets start with Trish and Rock, high school sweethearts who throughout the series have always been there the stable couple who was always there but we didn't really get any information on until the end (sorry mind the pun) their love story is one for the ages it tells of a abused and beaten girl who takes beating so her brother doesn't have to, but then knight in not so shining armour comes to her rescue even if she doesn't want it. For Rock the choice is easy football or the woman of his dreams he gives up everything for Trish and in return he get a family and love and support. Then we skip into the future where they have adopted 3 children and it tells you of their lives as adults and its such a beautiful ending.
Then we have the Epilogues each book get is own ending in this unique way to end a series and holy crap i didn't understand the importance of the last two words in this book till i read the Rosemary Beach series also by Abbi Glines and then i clicked and i fangirled so hard what a way to end an amazing New Adult Series keep readers interested for future series.
Well that is all for now but i will be reviewing Abbi Glines newest book When I'm Back that comes out on June 30th 2015 (book #11 in the Rosemary Beach Series)
Until next time
Happy Reading
