UP IN FLAMES

A Rosemary Beach Novel

ABBI GLINES

(on sale June 28, 2016)

#1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines returns to Rosemary Beach one last time in this highly-anticipated finale and much beloved series.

Spoiled. Selfish. Rich girl. Villan. Slut.

As the Prada-clad bad girl of Rosemary Beach, Nan Dillon has been called every vile name under the hot summer sun. Some of her reputation is deserved—she’s never had to worry about anything but maintaining her perfect figure and splitting Daddy’s private jet with her brother, Rush.

But Nan is far from happy. Rush has another kid on the way and doesn’t have time to catch up with his sister. Grant, the last guy she truly cared about, chose to be with her half-sister, Harlow, instead of her. And Harlow, who has never gotten over the way Nan treated her when she first moved to town, remains distant.

So when Major asks her out, she jumps at the chance to date the gorgeous charmer. Though she doesn’t know much about the sweet-talking Texan, and though it’s clear he doesn’t want to be exclusive, dating him beats hanging out with vapid socialites or watching Netflix alone at home.

For a while, Nan deals with Major’s playboy ways, but after he burns her one too many times, she takes off for an impromptu wild weekend in Vegas. There, she meets Gannon, a darkly seductive and oh-so-dangerous businessman who knows exactly how to handle her.

With Major asking for a second chance and Gannon haunting her dreams, Nan has to decide who to give her heart to. But what she doesn’t realize is that these players are involved in a much bigger game—and they’re already two moves ahead of her.

Everyone that has ever read the Rosemary Beach series by Abbi Glines knows who Nannette it. You either love her, or love to hate her. I am one of those love to hate her girls. Going into this book I knew two things…one not even Abbi Freaking Glines, one of my favorite all time authors can make me ever love Nan, and two that I need to keep an open mind and not think about thirst punching her the whole time. So armed with that…I dove in.

Major Colt. I do love him. He may be a young playboy…but hell weren’t they all? He may have been on a job, but his feelings are real. Yes, he made some mistakes but he did try and rectify them and finally follow his heart. Unfortunately, it was too late. He had lost her to another.

Gannon is not someone I would ever picture myself with, but for Nan he’s perfect. He is a n ass. Plain and simple. However, so is Nan…see match made in heaven. Granted their personalities come from both growing up with no parental figures or any real family to speak of (except for Nan, she was lucky to have had Rush) Gannon and Nan can connect on a level her and Major never would.

I will say that some things totally came out of the blue and completely shocked me. I did have those “Abbi what are you thinking!! Why did you do that?!?!” moments. Although, the #Nanhater in me did enjoy when she got hers at times too.

Overall, I finished the book on these notes. Abbi still can rock a story unlike any other. I still do not like Nan, although I can sympathize with her some now where I never did before. I will always love Grant Carter and hate that he ever got with Nan in the first place. Major Colt and Copeland Roth are very swoon worthy. I don’t want to see this series come to an end!!! And in closing, I must say that enjoyed the book much more than I thought I would. Until next Time Abbi! <3
