Story
Summer had returned. The nightlife lit up the coastal town of Sea Breeze, Alabama, with scantily clad sun-kissed bodies, live music, the smell of fresh cooked seafood. Taking it all in, he wondered if coming back had been the best thing. He wasn’t the same man who had driven out of town a year ago on the motorcycle he’d bought after his best friend’s wedding. From the messy blonde curls he’d let grow out, to the tattoos now covering his arms, part of his chest, and even the side of his neck, it all represented a part of his journey.

Story
Sadie White’s summer job is at the beach, but she won’t be working as a lifeguard. Since her mom is pregnant and refuses to work, Sadie will be taking over as a domestic servant for a wealthy family on a nearby island. When the family arrives at their summer getaway, Sadie is surprised to learn that the owner of the house is Jax Stone, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world. If Sadie were normal - if she hadn’t spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house - maybe she’d be excited about working for a rock star. But she’s not.

I used to pray that I'd find the strength to move on from him, from the pain that the end carried, from the emptiness in my chest, but ultimately move on from the loss of Creed Sullivan and the death of his sister, Cora. The Sullivans had been the best part of my summers in New England. Deep down, I always knew my ache for all that I had lost was the reason I returned...but I hadn't expected to see him again - especially not like this.

Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

He told me to settle. He asked what was wrong with me. He called me an easy target. That was within minutes when I first met Caden Banks. I labeled him an asshole, but he was more than that. Arrogant. Smug. Alpha. He was also to-die-for gorgeous, and my stepbrother's fraternity brother. Okay, yes I was a little naive, a tad bit socially awkward, and the smallest amount of stalker-ish, but if Caden Banks thought he could tell me what to do, he had another thing coming.

He walked into school on his first day and owned it. I guess that's what happens when you're a prick, rich, and you're best friends with the ruling school's king. Also didn't hurt that he's drop-dead gorgeous. That's all fine. I mean, I have nothing to do with them. I'm a loner, invisible, and that's how I wanted it to be. I was even proud of it, until I wasn't. His name is Blaise Devroe. My name is Aspen Monson. He only knew how to get, command, and demand attention. I knew how to do everything but that. And this is our story.

ANOTHER 5⭐️ STORY FROM THIS GIFTED AUTHOR
- By CAROLYN 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 on 01-12-22
By: Devney Perry
Publisher's Summary
Prim, proper, classic good girl, and her least favorite label - icy.
Lila Kate Carter has heard them all. The last one, being the newest. She is not icy. She just doesn't care for Cruz Kerrington and his spoiled, selfish, careless ways. That doesn't make her icy, that makes him a jerk!
Tired of being labeled and doing what is expected of her, Lila Kate leaves Rosemary Beach, Florida ready for an adventure. Wanting to recreate herself, find a new path, and become something more.
Eli Hardy is tired of women who always act the same, do the same thing, and expect the same thing. He's ready to swear off women until he can get the rest of his life together.
Two weeks into his no-women-rule he meets Lila. She's so damn sweet and polite. Like she walked right out of an etiquette book. But he'd already been drunk before she walked in so there was a good chance she might not be as stunning and perfect as he thinks. He's just too drunk to worry about that.
The next morning, he swears he can still smell her on his skin. He just can't remember why or what happened after that third dance.
Their worlds are about to collide, and so are the secrets and lies.

4.5 Because of Lila Stars
I liked this book better than the first in the series because we didn’t have to wait so long for things to start moving.
I really loved Lila’s character. She was timid yes but it was more a quiet strength. She needed to get out of the house and become who she knew she was always meant to be. I really loved that it kind of reminded me a lot of Della.
I was very happy we got to have some of the ole gang in this book more so than the first book. Maybe I was waiting to much to see them older.
The two yes I said two love interests in this book couldn’t be farther from each other in attitude and characters and I love that we don’t’ really know what’s going to happen until it does.
Loved, LOVED the narration. I feel all three did a fantastic job. I can’t wait for more books in this series.
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

This book made me miss the old Abbi Glines books.
Book two in the Rosemary Beach meets Seabreeze series, Because of Lila was long. The book felt dragged out and underwhelming. Lila as a character is predictable and boring. Her attempts at finding herself and being wild just had me rolling my eyes and I'm the type of person who loves me a super cheeseball romance so that's saying a lot. The plot was typical and the characters predictable and the overall book suffered for it. The only saving grace in this book was that we get to see characters we love from the past. Sadly even they were new, mangled versions of the characters we once loved. This book made me want to just go back and read a Rosemary Beach or Seabreeze novel instead.
Okay, so I'm never one to completely dislike a book or say there was nothing good about it, but this book was difficult to find a silver lining. *cries all the tears* I suppose the light at the end of the tunnel was the narrators. Narration was great! Each narrator did such a good job giving life to their respective character. I have to say that narration for Eli's character was my personal favorite. It came off as effortless and real. Definitely two thumbs up for these voice actors.

great read with an unexpected twist
based on the overview, I knew how this book was going go. girl meets boy, they run in to a few issues and live happily ever after. this book was the exact opposite, but still had a happy ending. the narrator's were great and I was so drawn in to the story I didn't realize there were 2 different guys. really great book.

Good
I liked the story for the most part. I thought Lila was a good character until she met up with Cruz on her trip. I loved Eli. I thought he was a great guy, so sweet and caring. I hated Cruz. I thought he was a selfish jerk. I can't believe Lila picked him over Eli. I didn't think Cruz had any redeemable qualities at all. I never read the Rosemary Beach or the Sea Breeze series so I didn't understand some of the side character stuff or some of the family stuff, but I still enjoyed this book. I didn't like the female narrator but the males were alright.

Very hard to listen as the narrator playing Lila clearly has a cold or something. She sounds congested and like there is phlegm in her throat. Very distracting and gross. Loved this book but very disappointed in the audible.

I feel like it needs one more chapter!
Well I feel like there needs to be more. It was a good book, but sort of a cliff hanger. It had a very different ending than I thought it was going to have. Narration was just okay for me. I will definitely listen to the next one in the series.
