Just for Now (Sea Breeze #4)
by
Abbi Glines (Goodreads Author)
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.

"Ohhhh, Preston. Come here you sexy bitch." <----- Those may or may not have been the words that passed my lips when I began reading Just For Now. You see, I've known Preston Drake for quite some time now, but I was oh so ready to know him better. Since we first met him, in Breathe, Preston has been known as a guy who knows his way around the ladies, to put it mildly. He has a fondness for all the beautiful girls, but especially when they have a nice pair of legs attached. That's not usually...more

Okay I don't know it anymore now
Marcus, cage, Preston...
Can I have a piece of all 3 of them please?

As usual:
***SPOILER ALERT***
Glines definitely comes a long way since her first Sea Breeze book Breathe. Just as with the previous 2 books, I was sucked into this story immediately and I enjoyed every page. Of course I can't help myself to compare... It's pretty obvious Glines is making her books more naughtier now than Breathe but that's not the reason I liked Breathe less. It's because in...more

I already knew i was going to like this book when I read a teaser and boy did I like it!
IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!
For start this is very adult book ...
It's really amazing how Abbi Glines can always make me fall in love with one of her characters! I mean why do they all have to be so yummy?!?!? Preston was no different!
What would you do if you find out that you're deeply in love with a gigolo and that that gigolo is your dream guy that still works and sleeps with older women?

I think I actually melted into a puddle of goo!!!
My one major complaint about this books was that it was TOO SHORT!

I don't know what it is about this author.
I have tried a few books from this series and it hasn't gone well.
I couldn't finish the second book, Because of Low, due to a serious lack of interest in the characters and story. But the next book in the series, While It Lasts, looked so good I had to try it.
It was good.
I honestly can't explain why, even though I liked that book, I couldn't find anything exciting to say about it? It's like when you go on a date with a good-looking guy. He's nice and...more

I have always considered Abbi Glines a master in her craft and it's always been a pleasure to pick up one of her books... 'Just for Now' is no exception.
Although I consider While it lasts (Sea Breeze #3) my favorite in the bunch, her latest addition Just for Now (Sea Breeze #4) is a tight rival.
In the first book (Breathe) we were introduced to Sadie and Jax who I totally fell in love with. Marcus who was briefly brought into Breathe was given his very own tale in the second installment, Becaus...more

I knew it!! Ha! After finishing While It Lasts (which, by the way, is a freaking hot story and one of those which made my heart and eyes cry), I have this feeling that there will be a 4th book in this series. And I know that it will be about Amanda and Preston. I can't wait!! But ofcourse, I will still wait.
Thanks Abbi! For sharing us such wonderful and lovely stories! :))
Update: October 12, 2012

This was my favourite of the series!
Preston and Manda were perfect! I loved Prestons Bro’s and sister!
Preston Drake may be a manwhore, but I feel hard for him. I mean yes Preston was a giggilo, but who cares? He was an AMAZING older brother. An Amazing lover. And an even better friend. I mean yeah at the start when he took her V card plastered? ASSHOLE! But redeemed himself in my eyes.
Amanda Hardy may be a princess but she sure sucked it up when it came to Preston and his family. Put...more

Preston. The bold print should already tell how I feel about him. There was nothing YA or "new adult" about him. Abbi makes it so darn hard to choose a favorite when all her heroes are so damn sexy and delicious and yummy and sweet and.... You get the picture. I'll just say he was sex on a stick. Yeah that's it.
This book was definitely worth the hype. When I first read the snippet I wasn't so sure I'd get behind the idea of him ummm, "lending" himself for...more
”She thought I was like Cage and the right girl could tame me. It wasn’t about that. I didn’t need taming. I needed fucking saving.”
I cry for Preston Drake
At the same time
His life is one BIG responsibility, I salute him for everthing he do for his brothers and sister. He's such a cool guy that no one seems to notice because of his ways.
Amanda Hardy.

I honestly have no idea as to why I chose to read this. It came as a recomendation from my friend, so I gave it a try. But with my history with Abbi Gline's books, and my tendency to dislike them, I should have KNOWN I would not like this book. I ended up skimming large portions of the book.

I will never get tired of Abbi Gline's novels. From Vincent Boys to Sea Breeze series, I just can't get enough! I have no words but to say.. WOW! I was swooning all over the book for a day! It just keeps getting better, hotter, and makes me panting for more! (Damn Preston). Adored it!

Definitely worth the wait! Once again, I enjoyed another Sea Breeze series. I already thought about it, 'While It Lasts' would always be my favorite but it wouldn't stop me from loving this one. How very creative. I wouldn't mind another book to read from one of the Sea Breeze boys ;)
Throughout most of this book, I was fully prepared to give it three stars. Before I get into the delightful reasons why I could not, let me explain where I was going with this.
So, I don't have an easy time going to sleep, and I wanted something light and fluffy to read, something I would fall asleep to without realizing it. So, cheesy light corny romance it is! I was wary about picking something "New Adult" as I've had serious issues with most of the ones I've tried so far, but it was getting la...more

Tsk, tsk, tsk Abbi, wher r u pulling them bad boys from?!
I feel like a cigarette would be appropriate right now haha.
(There might be some spoilers!)
Of all the Abbi's damaged boys Preston is the worst of the bunch in my opinion. I really enjoyed hating him :). And I though that the Cage was as bad as they get. I don't want to give too much away, but the word "manwhore" got whole another meaning in this story :). He had his good moments too, but every nice thing he said was followed by something...more

Very excited for this book! Read While it lasts first then went back to first two, Hope Just for Now continues the more adult naughtiness :-)
Guessed next book would be about Preston but for some reason I imagined his girl would be the chick who is always drunk! (Jill?)
Love the Seabreeze series and they are definately getting better book by book so hopefully that trend continues
