Chance / Rosemary Beach 7 - 8 - Abbi Glines Series Review

Hello, so this is part 3 of the Rosemary Beach mini series reviews Too far & Perfection just click on them and you will be taken to those reviews so lets get started on the most emotional books in this series so far ....

Take A Chance 

ISBN - 9781471120497
Characters - Harlow Manning & Grant Carter
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US

When Harlow ends up In Rosemary Beach living with her Half Sister who hates her and the guy who she gave her virginity to is crawling out of the wicked bitches bed she knows she cant trust him.
But Grant cant get Harlow out of his head and he will have to work his arse off to prove he is worth Harlow's time especially when everyone seems to want too but into their business but can Harlow ever actually trust Grant when all is said and done, but Harlow has a secret one bigger than anything and one that may not be too far from Grants fear of losing the person he loves how will they both cope when secrets come out that rock the world. 

Even though i said the most emotional books of the entire series well not really that's more one more chance this book is in the middle for emotions it was happy, sad and angsty all at once, and i didn't mind it especially because the characters are my favourite in the series and we again get introduced to more characters and the cast gets even bigger with the addition of Harlow's Brother Mase, again the characterisation is so good and the writing and story with a guy not wanting to commit because he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he lost her and a girl who has to get past all of the ugliness with a certain family member and live with so many secrets and live in a new place and she just deals with it in a way that is inspirational. 

The story was one of my favourite like i said its about those things above but at the same time its about a friendship being repaired and growing into something amazing and about a girl who has to learn to stand up for herself and not close herself in her room when the going gets tough. 

We have met both Harlow and Grant before and you already love them by the time this book comes around and this just solidified my love for these characters and like it says on the front of the UK cover "a captivating Chance Novel " this really is a captivating book and is one of my favourites of the entire series.

One More Chance

ISBN - 9781471120510

A continuation of Take A Chance, Grant has ruined everything he tried so hard to everything right but then he let her walk right out of the door. After a lifetime of being careful the one time she puts caution to the win d she ends up with a huge secret and one that she knows could destroy both of them but what is the best decision when one will keep him away and the other will bring him back, but with consequences? ....

This is the most emotional book in this series it is really hard not to spoil the main story line so i am going to keep this short and sweet it was one of the best books in the series and i loved every minute of it even when i was literally sobbing my eyes out. Grant and Harlow are some of the best characters in this series and i said that before but they really are and everything they go through in this book is something a lot of people go through but i could never imagine being as strong as they are and everyone else is as well. 

Until Next Time

Perfection / Rosemary Beach 5 - 6 - Abbi Glines Series Review

Hello so the first part of this series review is here they are all one series but have mini series intwined its really complicated to explain is HERE. This is the next two books in a New Adult Series and they feature two very different main characters going through very different senarioes than before  .....

Twisted Perfection 

ISBN - 9781471120411
Characters - Della Sloane & Woods Kerrington
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US 

Della is running from her past and wants to break free of the craziness of her dark, sheltered past, but when she freaks out at a gas station Woods Kerrington comes to her a rescue a man who she spends one night with and the believes she will never see again. But when she finds out her new boyfriend is a married man her friend and co worker Tripp sends her to his home back in Rosemary Beach and gets her a job at the Kerrington Country Club. Fate has pushed these two together but will it also tear them apart? ...

Woods and Della is a couple i want too sure about at first they didn't seem like the kind of characters that ended up together, but again Glines writing has you loving them anyway It was a story about a woman trying to find herself and make a life for herself after living with abuse for so long and also having an illness and trying to get past it yourself even though she knows it is hereditary. Woods at times was an absolute arse but then at the same time you understand why he was, but i will stick up for Della always because she is a fighter and a survivor and i think that is what i love about every single book Glines has written all of her Female characters are fighters and survivors. 

The story was good a tad slow at times but that can be expected when you have a book with these topics and also it seemed like this was always the book i would get a little slower on not because of the characters but it was just a feeling i got when reading it that name me slow down when reading it and taking in every detail of Della's life and Woods messed up family (i think its a running theme in this series). It isn't my favourite but at the same time it really isn't the worst i have read but it really could do with some speeding up.

Simple Perfection

ISBN - 9781471120459
Characters - Della Sloane & Woods Kerrington
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US

Woods had his life mapped out but when Della Sloane walks into his life and turns it upside down (in a good way) but when an unforeseen circumstance sees him running the family business he cant deal with both the business and Della's ghosts and Della feels like doing what she has been doing for the past couple of months RUN, but when her fears of dragging Woods down with her come to a head she has to make that decision. Will she make the right one or will she give into the darkness inside of her? 

Again this was really slow at times and that was so frustrating because it had so much potential so that was a part of the book that annoyed me, but saying that i also loved a lot of this book i loved the strength Della possessed also the strength Woods possessed as well they were this was the book where i could actually see them together because it wasn't one taking care of the other it was them on equal terms and that is something i like in a book. 

Like i just said the characters were a lot better this time around they were stronger and grew in just two books and that is a very big feat to do and also the supporting cast was again amazing because the supporting cast is one that you grow to love in the first book and it carries on growing through the rest of the series. This was also a very emotional book for not just the characters but the reader as well some very sad scenes and they are scenes that set precedence for some of the books in the future and it feels horrible but at the same time i can see why its necessary. 

Again not the best i have read but certainly not the worst i think i just don't connect very well with these characters but the writing still pulls me in. 

Until Next Time

Happy Reading

Too Far / Rosemary Beach 1 - 4 - Abbi Glines - Series Review

Hello, so this is a series review for the first 4 books in the Rosemary Beach Series known as the Too Far Novels. This is a new adult series one i have read 3 times since 2014 so i have a very clear opinion on this entire series. 
So Lets Get Started...

Fallen Too Far #1

ISBN - 9781471118616
Characters - Blaire Wynn & Rush Finlay
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US

Blaire has no one after her mothers death, she can only turn to the man who walked out on her and her mother 5 years previous, her Father.She has to stay with her new Step-Brother who seems to hate her and his sister who hates her even more. Blaire just needs a place to stay until she can get enough money together to move on, but when feeling start getting involved it sends these two lost people on a journey of a lifetime.

So the first book in the series was good it was my second favourite out of the four books and unlike the next two books this is told in exclusively Blaire's POV so that is different from the rest of the entire RB series and Blair & Rush are just the ultimate couple and are the rock in practically every book after this one as well. 

This is the first book where we really get introduced to some of the characters who also have books and some (one) who we are waiting for. The supporting cast from Grant to Abe and Bethy to Nan everybody brought something, be it friendship, drama, love interests or just familial relationships and i think that is one of the huge draws to this series is the fact that there is not one main character that you cant help but love. Blair was such a strong, character after everything she goes through and Rush, i mean he had his Dad but even then he dint have a loving childhood that you wish for a character who you watch grow into something amazing(more on that later)

Story was a lot like any other New Adult book Boy and Girl fall in love, boy hiding a secret, girl finds out and ...... (this is a no spoiler review) but i liked it anyway Glines has a way of writing that draws you in and keeps you wanting to read more and more and sometimes i even manage to read 3 - 4 of her books in one day they are so addictive.

The Next Reviews May Spoil Somethings From Fallen Too Far I Will Try Not To But Sometimes It Cant Be Helped!!!

Never Too Far  #2

ISBN - 9781471118630
Characters - Blaire Wynn & Rush Finlay
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US

After finding out the secret that everybody in Rosemary knew and running back home to Summit, Blaire finds herself in a bind when Bethy asks her to move back to Rosemary to be her roommate and she doesn't want to let Bethy down but going back to Rosemary would mean seeing Rush and she doesn't know if she can do that especially with the big secret she is keeping. 

This was not my favourite in the series i threw this book at the wall because Nan is a RAGING B***H (i have that sentiment for pretty much all of the books apart from 1 so far and probably 2 by the end of the series.) I don't want to say much about the story because it will spoil it for you and i dint like spoiling people especially on books that i love, so i will just say how much i loved it and it is one you should experience first hand. 

The cast of characters got even bigger with the introduction of the characters from Summit and we also learn more about her life and who she was hurt by her ex boyfriend and just her life and the people who helped shape it, Blaire and Rush's relationship was one of a lot of angst in this and with Woods still sniffing around Blaire and Rush's family drama nothing ever seems to go right for two character who are perfect for each other.

Forever Too Far #3

ISBN - 9781471120022
Characters - Blaire Wynn & Rush Finlay
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US

The last book in the Too Far 'Series' Blaire is fed up of the drama that surrounds Rush's family and when she gets pulled into it she has to start thinking of her health even if it means leaving Rush because of his Toxic family
Rush promised Blaire forever... but is that a promise he can keep, or will their happily ever after always be just a step too far for him to reach? 

This is my favourite book in  this series everything just gets wrapped up nice and pretty, there are some lose ends but there are a lot more books to go through those. This is all about Rush having to choose to put Blaire and her health at the top of his priority or will Nan make the choice for him when he finds her unconscious. 

Again the cast gets even bigger with the arrival of Dean Finlay and Kiro Manning, along with Della Sloane the new waitress at the Club and the guy who lives next door to Blaire's father, it was quite an introduction to all of these character so many things happened in this book from wedding to babies and people getting arrested and beaten up it really packed a punch for such a small little package.

Rush Too Far #4

ISBN - 9781471122309
Characters - Blaire Wynn & Rush Finlay
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US

 Rush Too Far is Fallen Too Far But in Rush's POV so For the synopsis just look to Fallen To Far 
 

This is my least favourite in the series not to say it is bad in any way i love it but i would just prefer if it was all in the same book like all of the others because it  really isn't much different from Fallen too far just some extra scenes that we never saw like conversations between Rush and Nan and the how Rush got Abe to leave his family and just things like that i can give or take this book i love Rush but i think it really could have all been put into one book. 

Until Next Time
