Book Review (255): Twisted Perfection (Perfection #1, Rosemary Beach #3) - Abbi Glines

My future was about to be completely thrown off track because Della Sloane was under my skin, and I had to have her. I couldn’t ignore it anymore . . . I’d gotten close enough to her to see deeper.

Della Sloane is not your average girl. Yearning to break free of her dark and sheltered past and the memories of the illness that claimed her mother, Della plans a solo road trip to experience real life on her own terms. But the trip is nearly cut short in the little beach town of Rosemary when she realizes she can’t even pump her own gas—until Woods Kerrington shows up, more than willing to help out a pretty girl in need.

Woods’s family wants him to settle down with a wealthy woman in pearls, but he can’t resist this carefree girl in cutoffs passing through town. A one-night stand should have been enough, but months later, Woods can’t get the irresistible Della out of his head.

When a twist of fate brings Della back to Woods, all signs point to trouble if they don’t keep their distance. Neither is truly free, and a relationship could destroy both of them. With their hearts on the line, Della thinks the safest bet is to walk away. But Woods isn’t about to let that happen . . .

My Thoughts.

Twisted Perfection is the first book in the Perfection series and the third book in the Rosemary Beach saga both written by Abbi Glines.

At first I was a bit wary of this book, I wasn't a big fan of Woods when he first appeared in Fallen Too Far, but he grew on me throughout Never Too Far, and I was at least intrigued to see what would occur in this novel.

Della is on a road trip to nowhere, stopping in random places, taking jobs here and there, when she stops for gas in Rosemary Beach, having been away from civilization in a way she o course has no idea how to pump gas and ends up having to ask a total stranger for help, that stranger happens to be Woods.

There is an instant attraction between the two which results in them having a one night stand before Della leaves town, throughout a string of coincidences Della finds herself back in town and applying for a job at the local country club which is owned by Woods' family, and while both are happy to be reunited Woods is about to become engaged to someone through a so called arranged marriage chosen by his Father to merge the two families for business reasons.

But everyone knows that these two are meant for each other, further complicating their relationship is the secret Della has been hiding of her tragic childhood and her resulting issues, and when the wrong person finds out they'll stop at nothing to use this information to put a stop to their relationship no matter how they have to go about it.

I really liked how Woods and Della balance each other out as a couple and I look forward to their next book and the continuation of their story.

A very good addition to the series and I can't wait to see what's next.

I give this 4/5 Stars.

“You are mine. Do you hear me? You are mine, Della Sloane. I will take care of you. Nothing is taking you away from me. Nothing.”

“Is she forever for you then? She's worth throwing it all away?"

"She's it. No one else. She's all I'm ever going to want.”

“Because I can’t live without Della. I don’t want to. She’s the reason I get up in the mornings

“Anyone who meets you and doesn't want to get to know you and be part of your life is stupid. I saw it when I was just a kid."

"No. You thought I was a vampire and you wanted to be my friend so I wouldn't eat you."

"Well, that too. But I found out soon enough you weren't a blood sucker and I still licked you.”

Book Review (254): Never Too Far (Too Far Trilogy #2, Rosemary Beach #2) - Abbi Glines

He had held a secret that destroyed her world.

Everything she had known was no longer true.

Blaire couldn’t stop loving him but she knew she could never forgive him.
Now, she was back home and learning to live again. Moving on with life… until something happened to send her world spinning once again.
What do you do when the one person you can never trust again is the one that you need to trust so desperately?

You lie, hide, avoid, and pray that your sins never find you out.

My Thoughts.

Never Too Far is book two in the Too Far/Rosemary Beach series by Abbi Glines.

Luckily unlike some series, this book doesn't suffer from the dreaded second book syndrome, I loved it, I could safely say that I enjoyed this as much as I did the first book Fallen Too Far.

It's hard to write this review without giving away any spoilers from both the first book which had a shock twist at the end, and what ends up being the surprise and main storyline of this book.

And I have to say that the surprise in this book had me all giddy with excitement and definite anticipation for the next instalment of this fantastic series Forever Too Far.

I love Blaire and Rush, they are such a good couple with amazing chemistry, and you can't help but wish nothing but good things for them.

Woods had a bigger appearance I guess in a lead up to his book Twisted Perfection, I wasn't a big fan of his character in Fallen Too Far but I found him to be a whole lot more likeable in this book, and I look forward to reading all about him and his story.

I like most people who have read this series, wish that Nan would take a long walk off a short pier, just because her life has been the way it has is no excuse for being a total bitch, especially when Blaire has had it so much worse and she's become one of the nicest people in the series.

But I understand that every story/couple needs to have an obstacle to overcome and Nan is that for Blaire and Rush and that is the reason why she is one of my most despised characters of all time, she seems to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and I know I'm not alone in my thoughts.

I really look forward to Rush and Blaire's next book, but not before we get Woods' book first.

I love this series and I hope this becomes as popular as it deserves to be.

I give this a big 5/5 stars.

“She's amazing. No... she's perfect. Everything about her is fucking perfect," I said aloud. "I don't just love her, she owns me. Completely. I'd do anything for her.”

“Listen to me, Blaire. If you try to go anywhere I will chase you down. I will become your shadow. I won't let you out of my sight because I can't live without you. I made so many damn mistakes with you I don't even want to try and count them but I am going to start making things right from here on out.”

“No man has ever loved a woman as much as I love you. Nothing will ever come before you. I don’t know what else I have to do to prove to you that I won’t let you down again. I won’t hurt you. You don’t have to be alone anymore. I need you.”

Book Review (253): Fallen Too Far (Too Far Trilogy #1, Rosemary Beach #1) - Abbi Glines

Fallen Too Far (Too Far Trilogy #1)

by Abbi Glines

Publication: 4th July 2013

Publisher: Simon And Schuster

Pages: 247

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Age Appropriate: New Adult

Buy It: Amazon Barnes & Noble The Book Depository Fishpond

When Blaire Wynn's mother passed away, Blaire's life changed in an instant. Having cared for her sick mother for the last three years, suddenly Blaire has to leave the small farmhouse in Alabama they shared, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling beach house along the Florida gulf coast. But what she isn't prepared for is the lifestyle change that comes with the move, and she knows she'll never fit into the new world of luxury and extravagance that suddenly surrounds her.
Even worse, her father has run off to Paris for the summer with his wife, leaving her stranded with Rush, her new stepbrother, who's irritating, arrogant and… seriously sexy. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous; his famous father's guilt money, his mother's desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he has never been told no. Blaire knows he is anything but good for her, but somehow she can't fight the attraction she's feeling, especially when she starts to think the attraction might be mutual… Rush is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never uncover but even knowing all of that Blaire just may have fallen too far.

My Thoughts.

Fallen Too Far is book one in the Too Far Trilogy/Rosemary Beach series by Abbi Glines.

Having absolutely loved Abbi's Sea Breeze series, I was beyond excited receiving a copy of this book for review.

And I have to say I love this series more, I didn't think I would but you see there's this character named Rush and well.......

Do I need to finish this sentence?

Anyone who has read this series will know exactly what I'm talking about, no explanations needed at all.

I'm really enjoying the New Adult genre, especially when it's done so well, and Abbi is a master of it, anything she writes I want to read A.S.A.P!

So the story goes, Blaire who has just lost her Mother to cancer arrives at her Father's house at Rosemary Beach, not wanting to be there (her Father ran out on Blaire and her Mother) she discovers that apparently neither did her Father, who chose to go on holidays with his new wife instead of being there to welcome her.

Instead she arrives in the middle of a party hosted by Rush a totally hot guy....and oh yeah he's her stepbrother too!

And so begins the tumultuous relationship that they share with one another and their mutual attraction that Rush seems to hide a whole lot better than Blaire can.

But Rush is hiding a huge and terrible secret that will drive these two apart if Blaire ever finds out, and it will leave her world shattered and she'll be questioning everything she ever knew about her family.

This was written so well, the twist was definitely not what I was expecting at all, kudos to Abbi for that, it was a jaw dropper for sure.

If you haven't picked up this series yet what are you waiting for?

Run not walk to your nearest bookstore, or if you can't wait, let your fingers do the walking and order it online, you won't be sorry!

I look forward to reading the next instalment, I'm intrigued and invested in these characters now, and I need my Rush fix!

I give this 5/5 Stars.

“Everyone always says that love was enough. It wasn't. Not when your soul has been shattered.”

“I don’t want you under those damn stairs. I hate it. But I can’t move you up here. I’ll never be able to stay away from you. I need you safely tucked away.”

“Your instant reaction to being scared is to pull out a gun on someone? Damn girl, where are you from? Most girls I know squeal or some shit like that.”

“There are some things you need to know.” He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “I’m dealing with the fact that you may walk away from me once you know them and never look back. It scares the hell out of me. I don’t know what this is that is going on between us but from the moment I laid eyes on you I knew you were going to change my world. I was terrified. The more I watched you the more you drew me in. I couldn’t get close enough.”
