Description

One memory.
One special summer.
The one thing Bliss had lost herself in when the fear and sickness were too much, moments never to be damaged by the harsh reality that followed… until now.

Bliss York didn’t live a normal teenage life. She didn’t go to Friday night football games, walk the halls with her friends every day, go to her prom or even walk to receive her diploma. It had all been taken from her the fall that she was fifteen years old and she was given the diagnosis no one ever wants to hear.

She had leukemia.

Seven years after spending a summer with a girl who he knew would always be his first love and the one who got away, Nate Finlay returns to Sea Breeze to help his fiancé open her new boutique clothing store. When the new employee walks in Nate is taken back seven years to the girl he thought he’d love forever. The one who never answered his calls or returned his text. The one who shut him out completely with not even a goodbye and broke his heart.

They’ve each become someone different. No longer the young teens with stars in their eyes. But does that matter when your heart still says that’s the one.

    I read half of this book. Thumbs down. It sounded like it was going to be good, but they were too young, the guy was dumb and the girl was just desperate. I don’t like it when the girl is desperate to have a guy.

    Story line is poor. The characters act like children and are so frustrating. Don’t waste your money.
  • LOVE this book

    I read this book in less than two days. I just finished it, and I want to read more about Nate and Bliss. The story line, the characters, the sex, the drama, this book is EVERYTHING. You definitely will not regret purchasing this one.

    I've read Abbi Glines' entire Rosemary Beach series and really enjoyed it. I've read several of her Sea Breeze series and also enjoyed those books. But this Rosemary Beach meets Sea Breeze book is a hot mess. Reader beware. 1) Book description calls it a standalone. Maybe. I felt pretty lost most of the time, and I think it's because I haven't read the entire Sea Breeze series. 2) The story felt more like an outline than a fully written book. No plot line was fully fleshed out. Neither Nate & Octavia's backstory nor Nate & Bliss' were well developed. 3) The editing was about the worst I've ever read. I'm not talking about the story development or plot continuity--I mean the grammar and punctuation was AWFUL. I had to read many, many, many passages several times just to understand the meaning because of poor punctuation.
  • Loved it!

    I loved this book so much! The best part though, was Cage York as the father of an adult daughter! That was definitely my favorite part!

    This book was as close to a perfect crossover as Abbi could've gotten. The only thing that I would have changed about it is the way that it ended.

    This was an amazing story that brought together two of my favorite series, Rosemary Beach and Sea Breeze! I loved Bliss and how strong her character was throughout the whole story! I can't wait to read more from Abbi!
  • Great story. Needed better editor

    Overall I loved this book. I have read the entire Rosemary Beach and Sea Breeze series multiple times so seeing the next generation coming into adulthood and finding love brought back those feelings of completeness for a book. The story and Bliss and Nate was sweet and felt like that HS love you never quite got over and ended up with when you both realized it. I enjoyed the relationship between Nate and Blair's father and loved that he seemed so close to him. My only complaint is all of the typos and sentences that were hard to decipher. It was almost as if there was no review or edit done to it before it was released to iBook. I'm not sure if the printed version had as many errors as the digital copy but I really hope it was edited better. There were moments I had a hard time understanding what was being said. Aside from the edits, the book and story were great and I cannot wait for this new generation to bring us a new series.

    Too many grammatical errors and the story was just okay, really should have just left the series alone.
