5 Smooches!
Synopsis
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines comes the next sizzling novel in the Rosemary Beach series, featuring well-known playboy and Blaire’s half brother, Captain.
The look on Rose’s face had screamed that she was hiding something. Hell, she’d practically run away from me. There was something to that. I knew there was…
After ten years in the employ of a mysterious crime boss, River “Captain” Kipling is ready to leave his sordid past—and his cover occupation as an upscale restaurateur—behind him. The only thing standing in the way of his “retirement” is his commitment to launch a new restaurant in the resort town of Rosemary Beach. With his sister, Blaire, nearby, Captain can delay his dream of running a humble bar on the waterfront, but the unwanted attentions of his head server, Elle, have him itching to get out.
Until he notices Rose Henderson, the new server at the restaurant. All he knows about the pretty redhead with the cute glasses is that she’s a hardworking single mom from Oklahoma. But there’s something overly familiar about her laugh…something strange about the way she looks at Captain…
Review
The Best Goodbye is the thirteenth book in the Rosemary Beach series! 13! Wow, that is a lot of books and I absolutely hope this series never ends. I am in love with it. It really is my guilty pleasure as it starts out and reads as a sexy new adult romance and has slowly become contemporary. And God. I love it! I love revisiting with my favorite characters and getting to meet new ones. I love learning a little something about characters I thought I knew. Like Captain. I hand a handle on Captain (Blair’s brother) and his alpha badass attitude but I had no idea the why’s of who is he now or who he used to be.
‘River had wanted to protect me, but this man . . . I wasn’t sure how I’d survive him. He could break me in a way I wouldn’t ever recover from.’
This book was such an absolute surprise and I really do not want to give anything away. I seriously thought Captain would end up with Nan and that is part of the fun of guessing about Abbi’s next book in this series. The guessing part and I was totally wrong and as this is Captain and Rose’s book and Rose is new on the scene but not quite new to Captain and their story is a really heart breaking one. So go ahead and bust out the tissues and wine, peeps! You are going to need it!
“You’re too special, too fucking precious, for what I’ve become.”
Ahhh! Captain and Rose nearly killed me and usual Abbi was able to bring out the gamut of all of my emotions. I laughed, I cried, and oh the steam. This book was hot! Abbi Glines NEVER disappoints me. Even her YA books rock. And Captain and Rose were no different. If you have loved the rest of this series then you will adore this one. I am literally on the edge of my seat waiting for Major’s story.
“Makes all the paths I took to get me here worth every last mile.”
