Just for Now
Check out this review on my blog:
Well hello there, it's been a while, hasn't it?
I've recently realised I start a lot of my reviews with the word Wow. So instead, let me begin with this:
Holy. Mother. Of. Wows. Everywhere.
[a:Abbi Glines|4872191|Abbi Glines|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1345377921p2/4872191.jpg] sure knows how to write a good book. Having read all the other books in the Sea Breeze series, I thought I knew what to expect. However, I just wasn't prepared for [b:Just for Now|15778138|Just for Now (Sea Breeze, #4)|Abbi Glines|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348461168s/15778138.jpg|21491232]. It blew me away.
Don't get me wrong, the other books were all amazing, but this one just got to me.. It most likely had something to do with the flawless Preston Drake.
Did I mention yummy?
Frankly though, the entire book took my breath away. No, literally. The Prologue was so outrageously original that I had to go hyperventilate into a paper bag.
Ok, no I didn't. But I'd recommend keeping a paper bag handy when reading [b:Just for Now|15778138|Just for Now (Sea Breeze, #4)|Abbi Glines|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348461168s/15778138.jpg|21491232]. You've been warned.
On a more serious note though, I thought the character development was amazing, and I feel as if Preston is almost a different person by the end of the book.
I mean, the guy has his flaws, but damn; he's got some good things going for him:
He's athletic, and good enough to have a baseball scholarship.
He manages to be so utterly adorable at times, despite his very- Ah, mature nature.
He's caring and looks after his three younger siblings, and ultimately makes the best choices for them.
He's patient when it comes to Amanda and doesn't make fun of her inexperience.
He has a way of making things right in the end. Even if it means he has to work hard to do so.
And he's just so goddamn huggable.
I'd highly recommend [b:Just for Now|15778138|Just for Now (Sea Breeze, #4)|Abbi Glines|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348461168s/15778138.jpg|21491232] to anyone, and everyone who likes/loves/cannot-live-without new adult romances with such realistic, flawed and yet utterly lovable characters.
Ironically, [b:Just for Now|15778138|Just for Now (Sea Breeze, #4)|Abbi Glines|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348461168s/15778138.jpg|21491232] will be one of those books that Just Stays with You.
I do feel a little sorry for all the women that Preston had to stop- seeing though, I bet they cried their little hearts out..
PS:
Madame Glines, if you're reading this, I know I want never gets, and that it's rude to make demands of people you've never actually met.. But Amanda got Preston and she really wanted him.
(I'm getting sidetracked)
So.. I really want a book about Krit; really bad! I'm a sucker for a band member, especially a lead singer!
Just keep it in mind please?
Over & Out, T xx
