I don't know. It's just such a strange thing. She specifically talks about it at the beginning of the book. And then boom it happens, we get nothing about it, then it's mentioned the next day and it's done. WHAT? I don't think so.

Maybe I'll read it with you. I only read the Vincent Boys. I particularly didn't like Sawyer that much so I didn't feel the need to hurry to Vincent Brothers. But Abbi Glines is awesome so I'm sure I'll come out of it being a Sawyer lover too!

That's what I was thinking and it wasn't with who it was supposed to be. I just didn't think she would just throw it down like that. I was surprised.

Maybe Abbi is embarrassed by those kind of scenes. Has she ever written any? Scenes that is. I don't think in Existence there were any.

I read the extended version of The Vincent Brothers Extended and Uncut (The Vincent Boys, #2) by Abbi Glines , that may have made a difference. :P

Donna | 1350 comments So I finished a few books: Tall, Silent & Lethal (Pyte/Sentinel, #4) by R.L. Mathewson and With Everything I Am (The Three, #2) by Kristen Ashley . Both were good. Ok - KAs book was freaking awesome!! I thought the third book was out but alas, I have to wait until december!! WTH?! I was quite unhappy that I couldn't go straight into it. Sooooo good!!! Now I'm reading Picking Up the Pieces (Rose Gardner Mysteries, #5.5) by Denise Grover Swank and Thirty-Three and a Half Shenanigans (Rose Gardner Mysteries, #6) by Denise Grover Swank

Yeah, you see a stronger version of Sawyer in book 2. And a lot of things are rehashed ;) And it is actually a bit sexier, too :) Not quite as graphic as some others.

Haha!! Might be worth the purchase for that version then. Are there new scenes or is it just more detailed existing scenes? Like the camping trip ;)


message 11520: by Laura (new)

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments Enslaved by the Ocean (Criminals of the Ocean, #1) by Bella Jewel really enjoyed!

Prince of Shadows by Rachel Caine started out slow and I didnt love the narrator but it picked up and I really got into the story despite not caring for the narrator.

In the Afterlight (The Darkest Minds, #3) by Alexandra Bracken Loved the previous two books and most of this one but didnt like the last ( 1 hour or so) like 10 - 15% of the book so much tragedy and then Bam an answer to what made these kids the way they are I didnt buy it and it Eeeeerks me that it ended that way!

Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Cycle, #3) by Maggie Stiefvater <3 LOVE this series but this one was a bit different I didnt really feel it made any strides in the story and it was shorter than the previus books but as always I still enjoyed it fully!

And now I cant wait to dive into The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #3) by Michelle Hodkin FINALLY!!

as soon as I finish My Unexpected Forever (The Beaumont Series, #2) by Heidi McLaughlin I love this series!! I cant even count the times ive cried and my heart ached from the first book and now with this book. Definitely a series that needs read with some time between each book!

Yes he knew, I think. Wait...not sure. It's never actually mentioned that he knows or not. Huh...BUT he does ask her questions the next day like he knows, so I'm gonna say yes.

It just flipped me out how it was handled. That's how many adults would do with a one timer not a young adult, I'm guessing. But then again I could be wrong.

It's sweet but it's also weird. Like the glossing over of that moment. Or the use of the word "cock", which just did not fit IMO.

Yes, the camping scene is extended, but there is another scene, I dont know how much of it appears in the regular version. I think it was at Sawyer's house, on the couch. What they did was so close to having sex that I dont really know why they didnt just go for it.

I'm with you on that Tracy. I've read Vincent Boys and Sea Breeze after I heard all the high reviews and they were 2 stars for me. I could only finish book 1 for both series, I'm just not into her writing style. I'm not sure I want to try anymore of her books.

Yeah, I have to agree. All of her books are like that, I think. They aren't going to win awards for best-written novels, but she manages to suck you in and make you swoon big time with her characters. Beau and Dank are two of my all-time fave bad boys, even if their stories weren't nearly as impressive as some others.

So, I've been putting this series off but it was on my ever-growing 'need to get to it pile' for blog reviews, and now I'm wishing I hadn't waited this long. Clipped Wings (Clipped Wings, #1) by Helena Hunting was an absolutely beautiful story, rips your heart out with two damaged characters that you just need that HEA for...a definite must read if you haven't added it to the TBR yet!! I've ordered the sequel Inked Armor (Clipped Wings, #2) by Helena Hunting and read the novella Between the Cracks (Clipped Wings, #1.5) by Helena Hunting , they're addicting!

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments The Vincent Boys/Brothers was my least favorite books of hers. Just pretty meh. I did like her Existence Trilogy! Even with the name "Dank" its still pretty good.

Hated her Too Far books cant stand Rush. Didnt much like the "Perfection/Rosemary Beach" books either.

Only series I think Ill be finishing is her Sea Breeze series even though I didnt like Breathe (Sea Breeze, #1) by Abbi Glines the first in that series the books did improve.
But like Erin said she wont be winning any awards.I feel like most of her books or Male characters are recycled versions of each other and most of the Females too. But they do have a way of sucking you in. Not the Rosemary Beach series though Im done with that series I wont go any further in that series no matter how much I want some of the characters stories!!

Yeah, this was one of those books that's been on my list for almost a year, I'm sad to say. I was putting it off since my list was ever-growing and she was a relative unknown at the time, but I love finding a gem when I don't expect it! So much better than grabbing one by an author you know and expecting an epic read only to be completely let down. LOL

Yes! I actually won one of the 15 copies goodreads gave away. I feel so lucky too because a lot of people tried to win it also. I'm sure I'll like it. After your recommendation of Foreplay, I fell in love with her writing.

Ah, then you are a lucky duck to get to read it early! It is really great. did you read Tease? That one was my favorite out of the series! I love Jordan! She has her YA too, Uninvited (Uninvited, #1) by Sophie Jordan which is just fabulous!

Finished The Vincent Boys (The Vincent Boys, #1) by Abbi Glines and unless someone can convince me it's totally worth it for me to read the next book, I will probably pass. It was total fluff, which I was looking for, but there was so much missing from it. I felt like it glossed over everything when it needed to go more in depth.
