January 7, 2016And we get a date :D
Expected publication: December 18th 2013
Here is a TEASER for Jason's Book. :)
“Go! Go! Go!” She demanded. She didn’t even look my way. Her eyes were focused on something outside. I turned my attention to the side of the road where she was intensely watching. There was nothing… then a guy came bursting out of the woods with an angry snarl on his face and I understood. No wonder she was terrified. The guy was huge and looked ready to murder someone.
I shifted gears and sped off before he could get any closer.
“OhmyGod, thank you. That was so close.” She said with a sigh of relief and rested her head on the back of the leather seat.
“Should I take you to the police station?” I asked glancing over at her. Had he attacked her before she’d gotten free?
“Definitely not. They’ll probably be looking for me in about ten minutes. I need you to take me to my momma’s. She’ll cover for me. Besides that’s where my truck is.”
They’d be looking for her? Her mom would cover for her? What?
“It ain’t like he’s got any proof. The only thing I dropped was the hockey mask and it was a cheapo I bought at the Goodwill a couple of Halloweens ago. Not something he can trace back to me.”
I slowed the Porsche down as her words started sinking in. I hadn’t just saved a girl from being attacked. If I understood this babbling correctly I had just become the getaway car.
“Why’re you slowing down? I need to get to my momma’s like now. She’s just two miles from here. You go up to county road thirty-four and turn right, then you take it about three fourths mile to Orange Street and take a left. She’s the third house on the right.”
Shaking my head I pulled over to the side of the road. “I’m not going any further until you tell me exactly what it is I’m helping you escape from?” I glanced down at the baseball bat tucked between her legs then up at her face. Even in the darkness I could tell she was one of those ridiculously gorgeous southern blonds. It was like they had some special ingredient to raise them like that down here.
She let out a frustrated sigh and blinked rapidly causing tears to fill her eyes. She was good. Real good. Those pretty tears were almost believable.
“It’s a really long story. By the time I explain everything I'll have been caught and I'll be spending the night in jail. Please, please, please just take me to my momma’s. We’re so close.” She pleaded. Yeah, she was a major looker. Too bad she was also bad news.
“Tell me one thing, why do you have a baseball bat?” I needed something. If she’d knocked someone unconscious back there then I couldn’t help her getaway. They could be injured or dead.
She ran her hand through her hair and grumbled. “Okay, okay fine. But understand that he deserved it.”
Shit. She had knocked someone out.
“I smashed all the windows in my ex's truck.”
“You did what?” I couldn’t have heard her correctly. That did not happen in real life. Country songs, yes. Real life, no way.
“He's a cheatin' bastard. He deserved it. He hurt me so I hurt him. Now, please believe me and get me out of here.”
I laughed. I couldn’t help it. This was the funniest damn thing I’d ever heard.
“Why're you laughing?” she asked
I shook my head and pulled back onto the road. “Because that’s not what I was expecting to hear.”
“What did you expect me to say? I’m carrying a bat.”
Glancing over at her I grinned, “I thought you’d taken someone out with the bat.”
Her eyes went wide and then she laughed. “I wouldn’t have knocked someone out with a bat! That’s crazy.”

2.75 Same Old Stars
Do I think this story was worth $8.89?
[image error]
This was the SAME OLD story. We were promised “a bad girl” and I just don’t think Abbi delivered. Jesse was a flirt and did pull a Carrie Underwood but she wasn’t a bad girl to me. Also she came across a bit Forrest Gump when she talked about or with her Momma.
This is the story of poor girl falls for rich guy and you get the gist. Sex scenes were hot but the story was short and sadly nothing spectacular.
The best part of the story and the most interesting was KRIT. I hope he gets a book and it isn’t a good girl falling for him and they have a misunderstanding and then get an hea. I want more in between the lines, some depth would be nice!
Please WOW next time.

3.5 Misbehaving stars!
Jason Stone is Jax Stone's brother. Thats all he is to most people. He is on a break at Sea Breeze. Trying to figure out who he really is and what he wants from life. Driving in his brothers Porsche, he sees a beautiful blonde running out of the woods with a baseball bat. He is intrigued. Jess doesn’t know who he is, doesn’t treat him differently, and is one of the most beautiful women he’s ever seen. He decides she is the perfect girl to hang with on his break. The bad girl might be some fun. Then he gets to know her and realizes there is so much more there...
What I loved: I enjoy this authors writing style. Her words always flow perfectly. Jess. As much as it surprised me, Jess was one of the best parts of this book. I was expecting not to love her. In previous books, she always seemed like ‘that girl’, but looks can be deceiving. KRIT!!! I love me some Krit! Which brings me to the What I didn’t love column... When I’m reading a book, I want to fall for the hero. Even if he’s an ass, even if it takes a while, thats the plan. This wasn’t a love triangle, but I found myself rooting for the other guy. I wanted Krit to get the girl, not Jason. This is a problem. Jason was nice enough. I’m not sure what it was about him. He just didn’t do it for me. Also, the book was much too short with almost no epilogue.
Overall, I really do enjoy the SeaBreeze series and I am a huge fan of this author. I will continue to read this series and I really hope I love Dewayne and Krit’s books! I have a feeling I might ;)
This was one of my favorite parts <3 Gilmore Girls was my favorite tv show in high school/college!
Maybe Rory really does end up with Logan in the end? Gives me something to think about ;))
‘Finding a man to get you out of this life is gonna be hard, and I’ll be damned if you fall into the life I’ve lived.’Jess has lived in this small town in Alabama her entire life. She is the daughter of a stripper. She is the town’s wild child. But looks can be deceiving. Jess isn’t exactly as she seems. She wants a better life, just like her momma wants for her. Finding a man is all good and fine, but Jess has plans. She wants to finish college, get a good job where she can start fresh. After dating a loser for most of her teenage/young adult life who always cheats, she is done. Their on again off again relationship is over. He has screwed her one last time. So she does what any bad girl would do. She goes Carrie Underwood on him and messes with his truck. This is how she meets him. The guy in the Porsche.

"She was so unbelievably beautiful, and once you got to know the real Jess, you realized she was fucking sweet. The badass smart mouth who thumbed her nose at rules and skirted the law whenever she could had a kind heart."Of course there is a lot of back and forth, some angst and drama... it’s a SeaBreeze book! The relationship between Jess and Jason is fun and hot, but then feelings get involved...

This was one of my favorite parts <3 Gilmore Girls was my favorite tv show in high school/college!
Momma took a long pull from her cigarette and then put it out in the plate beside her. She was running out of time, because I wasn’t about to let Jason come to the door. I didn’t trust Momma. She would test him and I wasn’t sure he could pass the test.
“He’s your Logan. Girls don’t marry their Logans.”
She was back to talking about him being my Logan again. That made absolutely no sense. I didn’t even know a Logan. I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at her. “What are you talking about?”
Momma cocked an eyebrow at me. “Jason Stone is your Logan. He’s wealthy and impressive and handsome. He’s a fairy tale. But don’t get serious. Guard your heart.”
I let out a frustrated sigh and dropped my arms. “Why are you calling him my Logan?” I asked.
“Gilmore Girls, sweetheart. Gilmore Girls. If you had bothered to watch it with me like I asked you several times, you would know what I mean. Hank is your Dean. He wasn’t meant for you either. He was just the first heartbreak you keep going back to. Now you’ve met your Logan."
Maybe Rory really does end up with Logan in the end? Gives me something to think about ;))

2.75-3 I didn't see any "misbehaving" stars
"I knew that, without a doubt, I had just been ruined.”
Before any of you attack me, Abbi Glines books are purely a guilty pleasure read for me. I may not rate them very high, but I do enjoy reading them. And I continue to read them because they are a nice little escape from reality and Ms. Glines writes some amazing angst. She just recycles her plots and uses too much instalove. I'm sorry, but I can't rate anything higher than that. It's a guilty pleasure read y'all!
Anyways, Misbehaving is the story of "bad girl" Jess and Jason, the rock stars brother. From the moment the two of them meet, it's love. No really, I'm not joking. The plot went: they meet, they have one date, and on that first date they had sex. And after they have sex, Jason thinks this:
"At some point she'd become my sole reason for breathing."
Me at this point:
AND THIS WAS AFTER HER PUTTING OUT ON THE FIRST DATE!! (Great lesson there, I'll be sure to take notes).
“I could tell she was one of those ridiculously gorgeous southern blondes. It was like the South had some special ingredient to raise them like that down here.”
Anyways, neither one of the two MC's are really equipped for a real relationship, so they mess up quite a bit along the way. Like, really mess up. But it was entertaining to me.
I'm also not a huge fan of the Cinderella story, so a rich man soaring in and saving the day with his dick and money don't really do it for me. Oh well, on to the next one!

Nothing different… All too cliché … Always been that same old story…
It's always been about two characters who felt like they didn't deserve each other, that all's just temporary before going back to their different worlds, but he needed to get her out of his system while at the same time trying to introduce her to his world, but then she felt like she didn't belong there. Then came along all the fights, insecurities, miscommunications, jealousies and revenge... the break up, seeking other people's warmth and comfort, having sudden realizations, saving the damsel in distress, proclaiming "She's mine! He’s mine!", then it's all HEA?
Except here, they somehow had mistaken love as always having sex. Well, that's part of the component. However, I could not help but doubt these two. How old were they, by the way? 20? 19? Around that age? Nothing wrong with being young. It's just that it felt like they were just teenagers with raging hormones... that's all there was in this story, in my opinion...

I gotta be honest, when I first started reading about Jason and Jess and her crazy "Momma", I was NOT sure I was gonna like this story at all... but GODDAMN can Abbi Glines write, because she sure as heck turned it ALL AROUND for me!!!
JASON TURNED OUT TO BE ONE HOT PIECE OF &*^@&%@*#&$ *SQUEAL*!!!!!

3.5 stars
Not the best of Abbi Glines but still enjoyed it. As always, I flew through her book. Her writing flows so smoothly and the stories all suck you in no matter what it is.
Jess was refreshing. I didn't expect to like her after she was constantly trying to wreak havoc in other peoples relationships in previous books. But she surprised me. There really is more than meets the eye with her.
I liked Jason in the previous books and still like him a lot after this book. But I just didn't fall in love with him like I think I was supposed to?
But on another note, I absolutely LOVE Krit!! Why didn't Jess want him? I'm confused.... Highly looking forward to Krit's book next!

5Jason & Jess
Ok I will admit I wasn’t a Jason fan for a while, I know I know how could I not be. But this book opened my eyes. And I so very glad he got a book because I saw him in a different light.
I think what made me like him was that he doesn’t resent his brother for his fame just the opposite really.
And I loved Jess this woman has been through a lot. She knows her place and her part to play in all of it, but when the heart gets involved she has to do what she thinks is right for all involved… This was where I wanted to kick Jason right in the balls. I mean dude you got to see the real Jess so think about that for a minute...
All is well that ends well they say right.
Sigh… that narration FANTASTIC!!

OK I'll start off by saying, I was really anticipating this book because I loved Ms. Abbi's past books. For me, not everyone, it just didn't do it for me.
If you've read the past books in this series, you should know that Jess is Rock's trouble maker of a cousin. In this book we see a bit more inside of her trouble-some ways.
Jason is Jax's brother, we met in in the first book and in Preston and Amanda's book. He basically lives in the shadow of his brother.
I felt like I didn't real feel the chemistry between Jason and Jess. The main problem for me was Jason. It was like he kept Jess on a leash. He didn't want to have a relationship with her, but he also didn't really want her hanging out with other guys. He was reallly unclear with his feelings too. I could totally tell why Jess was confused with him.
What I did like was the relationship between Jess and her mom. Her mom is a stripper and I like how they still have a close relationship. Usually in this scenario, mothers tend to always be bitchy and whiny, but I like how their relationship is not abusive, but like best friends.
I like Jess's dedication for her mother, it's very admirable.
HEA??
cheating
Overall it was an ok read. Was it worth 8 bucks...... in my case noooo. Would I continue reading her books? maybe.

I wasn't really interested in these two, but being a series whore, I had to give it a try. The first 2/3 of this was ok, about a 3 star rating, but that last 3rd? LOVED!! It was so good. I wish that plot would've started around the half way mark, but in the end it turned out really good. And now since we got to see more of Krit, I can't wait for his story!

Big surprise...Abbi Glines does it again!!!
Loved the beginning, the middle got a little boring/annoying and I thought this was going to be one of my least favorite Abbi Glines book and then bam...the end comes...and it was freaking amazing! Think of the closing scene to An Officer and a Gentleman! The 'Love Lifts Us Where We Belong' chorus was blaring in my head! I loved it!!! So that totally made up for some of the parts that dragged/annoyed me in the middle.
Let me go into a little more detail. What annoyed me in the middle was it followed the same format that most of these Sea Breeze books follow. The whole misunderstanding that drives the characters apart in the middle is really starting to get old. This book was good but I just finished Tammy Falkner's new novel and that one totally blew this one out of the water.
:) I just hate how all Abbi's novels are getting so expensive 7.99!!! Really?

This is the 6th book in this series I've been reading and I like most of the characters in all the books. This book was needed for a challenge and I new I could get it read in one sitting so I picked it up for that purpose. I like this series but I'm still a little tired of romance books. I did like this one better then the last book I read. At least this one didn't annoy me until around chapter 20.
I hate that for 2 or 3 chapters we have to deal with adults not talking to each other because in real life people talk. There was a phone call and a woman answered. It wouldn't take 3 days to a week for a woman in real life to address that situation. It gets so annoying that a lot of these romance books do this. I understand it happening in YA (I kind of understand it happening) but for adults to act like a pack of teenagers drives me bat shit crazy.
This story was about Jess who in the past books had hit on Marcus and then again on Cage. So of course in this books she was labeled the wild one or the girl who was trouble. In the past books we were not meant to like her so when I read this was about her I was not so excited to read about her BUT the guy who fell for her I just happen to like from the past books. Jason Stone is a good guy and the brother of rock star and the male MC in the first book of this series Jax Stone. It was fun to read about Jason. I did end up liking Jess by the end of this book but again I hate when they don't handle business and it drags on for 3 chapters. I loved the way it ended in that Jason ended up being her white knight. For Jess and her mother. It was very sweet.

“I’ve always wanted a man to love me for me.”
Just when I thought that after five instalments in the Sea Breeze series I would be safe in knowing what to expect in this book, I realised that you never know what you’re going to get in an Abbi Glines novel. So very different from its prequels, this story is a gut-wrenching joy-ride beginning to end, with so many moments that will take your breath away with the intensity of emotions running through you. Jess is a bad girl that I adored, her every action making me love her even more, and this is truly her book.
“He was a fairy tale. And I didn’t live in a storybook.”
As someone who always saw herself as a bad girl from the wrong side of the tracks, Jess was raised to believe that her only way out from the life her mother had no choice but to live was by finding a man who would take care of her and save her from her reality. The only child of a single mother who could only make ends meet by working as a stripper, she never had a positive male role model around to make her believe that a good man is anything more than a fairy tale. Every man in her life used her for one thing and one thing alone, and she quickly learned that no man would ever offer her anything without expecting something in return. She was used to men putting her down, cheating on her, mistreating and disrespecting her, finding it very difficult to accept attentiveness with no strings attached.
“Enjoy him, baby girl, but remember he’s just a man. He’ll marry a girl with a trust fund. Watch your heart.”
When she meets Jason, she is immediately attracted to him physically, but the more time they spend together, the more she believes him to be completely out of her league. She doesn’t even allow herself to daydream of a future with him, knowing guys like Jason never end up with girls like her. As their attraction grows and stems into a casual but very steamy affair between them, for the first time in her life, Jess learns what it feels like to be treated by a man with respect.
“Jess, if guys don’t open doors for you, then they aren’t worth your time.”
She finds Jason’s thoughtfulness and genuine interest in her as a person, not just her body, hard to accept at times. He makes her feel special, cared for, and soon her feelings towards him inevitably turn into a lot more than she knows she should feel. But she never stops believing that what they have is not permanent, expecting him to walk out of her life the moment he does not need her as a distraction any longer.
“Could you get closure on something like this? Loving a man who didn’t love you back?”
Jason never expected that a firecracker like Jess would finally be his undoing. As the younger brother of a rockstar, Jason has lived under that shadow all his life, never really knowing whether people liked him for him or because of his connection to a celebrity. He works hard to pave his own future, still unsure of what that future would be, but determined to become his own man and not always be known as someone’s brother. Jess shakes his picture-perfect life the moment she steps in front of his car with a baseball bat in her hand. He is drawn to her carefree spirit, her innate sex-appeal and the vulnerability she so desperately tries to hide. She acts like other people’s treatment of her does not affect her, her sassiness being her shield against hurt, but Jason sees that underneath that bravado is an insecure young woman whose only wish is to be someone’s first choice, for someone other than her mother to finally put her first and make her feel safe. As much as he cannot stay away from her and finds himself feeling protective and possessive of her, he sees commitment being a complication he believes not to have time for at this stage in his life. He wants her, but he won’t allow himself to claim her completely, as he cannot see her fitting in his world.
“I know this is just a little fling. I’m not expecting more.”
This is in so many ways a heartbreaking love story between a young woman who is willing to settle for less from the man she loves if it means she would have him in her life at all, and a young man still trying to find himself and slowly learning that the best things in life are always a little bit complicated. Jess is a heroine who made me want to beat up every man that had ever wronged her and whose kind heart and vulnerability were the highlights of the story for me. It took me some time to grow attached to Jason, his indecision when it came to claiming Jess as his own making me see red at times, but the vast difference in the way they were raised justified that in my eyes. This was a story whose heart-wrenching moments will stay with you, make you want to re-read them, re-live them. Nothing gets to me like scenarios of unrequited love, real or apparent, and this book got to me page after page, scene after scene. An absolute game changer in a series that keeps getting better and better.

“Cute, huh? Do I need to remind you of my sexiness?” -Jason Stone
So what happened here is a disaster. I’m not disappointed with it. I love the book. I like the story. But it’s not Sea Breeze. This is my least favorite of all Abbi Glines book that I have ever read.
“I don’t get possessive. I can’t get possessive. I don’t have time for that. You are making me feel that way, and it doesn’t fit into my world. I was trying to distance myself.” -Jason Stone
*MC’s Corner*
• So if you will read this I think you’ll forget all the first 5 books. I think its better and you’ll enjoy it that way.
• I think the author is trying to make us like her.
After reading the book I still don’t. It’s not like she’s unlikable, it’s just I didn’t get her. She’s has different personalities, likeable and not. But I felt like these personalities don’t get well when you put them in one Jess. It’s confusing.
• On Jason side… DUDE! Where’s the Jason I saw in the previous books???
I felt like its Jason BUT ten years older. He’s not acting like he’s 20 years old. And some parts he’s acting like a jock or a douche bag. It’s not like him.
• So Jason here became… SEXy!!! I like this part:
“His biceps flexed, capturing my complete attention. I wondered what his abs looked like.”
*sigh* ME TOO!!! *imagining it right now* #heaven
• What happened to that f’n bat? Hmmmm… O.o I like that part!
• So apparently Jason loves hairs. I mean touching hairs. (So if you want to seduce Jason Stone… wear your hair down.)
• So... Jess is a fashion designer. *toot* I don’t believe that part. (Sorry, I think that part is just a waste of space.)
• Who is Logan?
• I’m so confused.

Abbi Glines you are hands down my favorite author!!! I can't get enough of your books, they never disappoint. Misbehaving was excellent and I wasn't ready for it to be over. I loved getting to know more about Jason then just that he is Jax's brother. Jess is definitely my favorite female lead out of all of Abbi's books. She was strong, independent but yet sweet and insecure. My heart went out to her throughout the book, I just wanted her to get her fairy tail. If you haven't checked out The Sea Breeze series please do, the books keep getting better and better.

MISBEHAVING surprise sneak peeks:
#1
"I’m not going to handle it well if you give anyone else too much attention.” - Jason Stone from MISBEHAVING.
#2
“You’re going to kill me or drive me insane. I can’t seem to care. I’m looking forward to it." - Jason Stone from MISBEHAVING
#3
She stopped with the rim almost to her mouth and gave me an amused grin. “Yeah, well, I don’t know what else you expect from me. I’m not one of them,” she said, waving her glass out at the crowd. “My momma ain’t a trust-fund baby. She’s a stripper.”
I heard someone choke beside me, no doubt from her statement. She took a much longer drink of whiskey than I’d ever seen anyone take.
“Her momma is a stripper?” Hensley asked as he stared at her in openmouthed amazement. As if Jess hadn’t already drawn attention, this piece of information was going to go through the room like wildfire.
“Shut up,” I replied, and picked up my drink, needing to hover over her and protect her from the horny males who were just going to get worse when they found out her momma’s profession.
“I can’t believe you announced that,” I said to her quietly as I led her away from the bar.
“Why? They’re never going to see me again, and they’ll all talk about you like you’re a badass for bringing a stripper’s daughter commando to one of their uppity parties. And whoever I’m supposed to be making jealous, I assure you, she is fuming. You’ll have her back in your arms in no time. Just get rid of me first.”
#4
Momma took a long pull from her cigarette and then put it out in the plate beside her. She was running out of time, because I wasn’t about to let Jason come to the door. I didn’t trust Momma. She would test him and I wasn’t sure he could pass the test.
“He’s your Logan. Girls don’t marry their Logans.”
She was back to talking about him being my Logan again. That made absolutely no sense. I didn’t even know a Logan. I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at her. “What are you talking about?”
Momma cocked an eyebrow at me. “Jason Stone is your Logan. He’s wealthy and impressive and handsome. He’s a fairy tale. But don’t get serious. Guard your heart.”
I let out a frustrated sigh and dropped my arms. “Why are you calling him my Logan?” I asked.
“Gilmore Girls, sweetheart. Gilmore Girls. If you had bothered to watch it with me like I asked you several times, you would know what I mean. Hank is your Dean. He wasn’t meant for you either. He was just the first heartbreak you keep going back to. Now you’ve met your Logan."

Sea Breeze #6 will be Jax Stone’s younger brother Jason Stone’s story.
Synosis
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.
Sneak Peek:
Excerpt from Misbehaving by Abbi Glines
All I could see was lots of long blond hair dressed in tight black clothing and she was standing in the middle of the road…. holding a baseball bat. Only in Alabama did stuff like this happen. Stopping before I hit her, I watched as she ran over to the passenger side door and knocked. The wild panicked look in her eyes might have been disturbing if they weren’t a bright clear blue color with thick black lashes. I pressed the unlock button and she jerked the door open and climbed inside.
“Go! Go! Go!” She demanded. She didn’t even look my way. Her eyes were focused on something outside. I turned my attention to the side of the road where she was watching with such intensity. There was nothing… then a guy came bursting out of the woods with an angry snarl on his face and I understood. I shifted gears and took off. No wonder she was terrified. The guy was huge and looked ready to murder someone.
“OhmyGod, thank you. That was so close.” She let out in a sigh of relief and rested her head on the leather seat.
“Should I take you to the police station?” I asked glancing over at her. Had he attacked her before she’d gotten free?
“Definitely not. They’ll probably be looking for me in about ten minutes. I need you to take me to my momma’s. She’ll cover for me. Besides that’s where my truck is.”
They’d be looking for her? Her mom would cover for her? What?
“It ain’t like he’s got any proof. The only thing I dropped was the hockey mask and it was a cheapo I bought at the Goodwill a couple of Halloweens ago. Not something he can trace back to me.”
I slowed the Porsche down as her words started sinking in. I hadn’t just saved a girl from being attacked. If I understood this babbling correctly I had just become the getaway car.
“Why’re you slowing down? I need to get to my momma’s like now. She’s just two miles from here. You go up to county road thirty-four and turn right, then you take it about three fourths mile to Orange Street and take a left. She’s the third house on the right.”
Shaking my head I pulled over to the side of the road. “I’m not going any further until you tell me exactly what it is I’m helping you escape from?” I glanced down at her baseball bat tucked between her legs then up at her face. Even in the darkness I could tell she was one of those ridiculously gorgeous southern blonds. It was like they had some special ingredient to raise them like that down here.
She let out a frustrated sigh and blinked rapidly causing tears to fill her eyes. She was good. Real good. Those pretty tears were almost believable.
“It’s a really long story. By the time I explain everything we will have been caught and I’ll be spending the night in jail. Please, please, please just take me to my momma’s. We’re so close.” She pleaded. Yeah, she was a major looker. Too bad she was also bad news.
“Tell me one thing, why do you have a baseball bat?” I needed something. If she’d knocked someone unconscious back there then I couldn’t help her getaway. They could be injured or dead.
She ran her hand through her hair and grumbled. “Okay, okay fine. But understand that he deserved it.”
Shit. She had knocked someone out.
“I smashed all the windows in my exboyfriend’s truck.”
“You did what?” I couldn’t have heard her correctly. That did not happen in real life. Country songs, yes. Real life, no way.
“He’s a cheatin’ bastard. He deserved it. He hurt me so I hurt him. Now, please believe me and get me out of here.”
I laughed. I couldn’t help it. This was the funniest damn thing I’d ever heard.
“Why’re you laughing?” she asked
I shook my head and pulled back onto the road. “Because that’s not what I was expecting to hear.”
“What did you expect me to say? I’m carrying a bat.”
Glancing over at her I grinned, “I thought you’d taken someone out with the bat.”
Her eyes went wide and then she laughed. “I wouldn’t have knocked someone out with a bat! That’s crazy.”
I wanted to point out that smashing your exboyfriend’s truck windows then running through the woods in escape at night was crazy. But I didn’t. I was pretty sure she wouldn’t agree.

This is pure NA. Sweet, sexy, steamy and cute story with a possessive male character - don't want them if not - and a strong female character, vulnerable but with a backbone ! (yeah the first scene)
I hope someday Abbi Glines will write something entirely different and surprise everyone, but I will still love her NA novels <3 !
I'd love to have some news from Jax and Sadie. We see them a bit in each book of the series but I need more. How does she deal with being in the lights ? Are they going to get engaged one day (they're the first couple in the series and she still doesn't have a ring on her finger) ?

Okay I read this a few days ago but I was too embarrassed to put it on here🤨 I did read this in basically one sitting and lowkey fell for the (somewhat there) plot too

Bis zur Hälfte die so gut wie perfekte Liebesgeschichte. Dann ein furchtbares Hin und Her, das mich ziemlich genervt hat und das Ende war dann zu schnell zu perfekt.
Insgesamt 3,5 gutgemeinte Sternchen…

This book reeked of “gold digger” status. For the life of me I couldn’t find what these two had in common. The hero is obviously into her looks and the heroine sees him as the ticket out of the life she was born into. I felt no chemistry between them.

Misbehaving es el sexto libro de la serie Sea Breeze de la autora Abbi Glines y narra la historia de Jason ( hermano de Jax, del primer libro ) y Jess, un personaje secundario en los libros anteriores.
Los libros de Abbi Glines son como los accidentes de trafico : son todos muy parecidos aunque tengan diferentes circustancias pero no puedes evitar pararte a observar. Sus historias tienen algo que te mantiene leyendo hasta el final, no importa que todo sea repetitivo y absurdo.
Si has leido la saga Fallen Too Far y pensaste que era una lectura sosa y tan profunda como un charco es porque aun no has leido la historia de Jess y Jason. No podia parar de rodar los ojos una y otra vez, ademas no ayudo que tuviera unos protagonistas tan insulsos y estupidos. Aun no he conocido personajes tan cliches y tontos como los que crea la autora.
En conclusion, el unico personaje que realmente me cayo bien fue Kris y eso ayudo aun mas a que mi odio por Jess aumentara, no me puedo creer que la protagonista femenina fuera tan egoista y manipuladora con el, la odie.
Espero que la pareja de Kris este a su altura, me parecio un personaje muy lindo ( infinitamente mejor que el protagonista ).
2.5 Estrellas!

i had a very strange visceral reaction to this book. many, many times did i have to physically look away from the words because i just couldn’t handle it — both jason’s sweetness and gentleness towards jess and the passion of their attraction. i actually burst into tears at one of the scenes at the start, where jess expects that jason will expect sex from her, and he firmly and purposefully foils those expectations.
however, i'm not a hugeeee fan of the jealousy trope, especially when it's overused like here. jason's indecision about whether or not he wanted a relationship was also kind of icky. also, despite what i said above, the book/their attraction depended a bit too much on jess's beauty/body, despite the fact that jason was respectful. i wanted more emotional connection between them. this book also had a lot of editing mistakes for a published work. but overall, i enjoyed this WAY more than i did the first time (which i read when i was way too young lolol like 11 or 12).

Before I start bashing this book in my review, I just want to say that Abbi Glines is a mastermind when it comes to emotional, gut-wrenching storylines. She knows exactly how to play with out hearts while making us feel all those wonderful, heartwarming feels, but every author can't have the perfect score in books and Misbehaving was apparently my least favorite work by Abbi.
You know when a book is so bad that it's actually hilarious. That's Misbehaving right there! At first I was frustrated with the characters and their stupefied thoughts, but then I started noticing the cheesy dialogues that no one in there right mindset would ever say aloud, and this book became sort of entertaining. In a very bad way! I've never disliked an Abbi Glines book this much, there was a point around 21% where I straightaway wanted to DNF the story, but I'm very loyal to the author, hence the skimming!
More to come...

Ok, I admit it. I wasn't that excited to read about Jason Stone. Not that I didn't like the peeks we got of him earlier in this series, I just wasn't sure what to think of him.
Well, I'm so glad I did read because it was so good. I loved both of the main characters. Jason was what a man should be. He was kind, caring, a little assholish and an alpha male when he had to be. Jess was a very sweet character. Misunderstood, underestimated and unsure of her true worth. She knew how to work a man. She's relied on her physical appearance for most of her life.
Abbi Glines did a great job of bringing two totally different characters together. She made it a great adventure for Jess. It was touching, sweet and very sexy. Abbi Glines is a true master at her craft.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Jason and Jess, definitely the cutest "Sea Breeze"-Couple until now. I liked the idea that this book based itself more on the feelings than the sexual part. They were such a good match. I just couldn`t stop reading, it was so addictive. Jess is such a sweet/caring personality underneath her walls, the idea that the "Bad Girl" has her own story is so great. I also have to compliment the covers. Piper did such a great job! I just love the german covers!
