Wait for Always

The Coastal Chronicles has been a favorite since I read Hold the Forevers. Linde has fantastic way of making you fall in love with every character she introduces you to. She writes these complex characters that you can’t help but want to be friends with or fall in love with. And I love how she seems to effortlessly weave these interconnected stand-alone stories that help expand the universe that the books take place in. I fell in love with Ash Talmadge from the first page. I couldn’t wait to see how it would all play out for him! A couple times I was so mad at him and just wanted to shake him for the decisions he made! Amelia has to be one of my favorite heroines! One of my favorite lines in this book was from her. “No. You do not need to do that. You’re not my white knight. The princess saved herself in this one.” I loved that she saved herself in this situation. It’s so often that authors write these strong alpha males who come running in to save the females. I can’t wait to see what’s next! I’m hoping there will be a Marina book! I’m so interested in what happened with her and Nolan.

Ash Talmadge finally gets his story!!! And let me just say, in true K.A. Linde fashion, angsty goodness. I was so skeptical of Ash when I read Hold the Forevers. I was Team Cole all the way. After reading Wait For Always, I think I am permanently Team Ash!!! His story with Amelia, wow. Just wow. I’m obsessed with these Coastal Chronicles. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amelia or Mia as she goes by friends has a drive in the fashion industry. She wants to open her own boutiques and be famous. She also wants James, aka Ash since she was little. Her brother’s best friend. Ash however cannot get over his love for another girl. What a triangle. This was told in present and past tense throughout the book. There was a lot of heartache on Mia’s life throughout as she’s loved Ash and has known it wouldn’t go anywhere. At times you wanted to tell her, well you did say that was going to be the last time and it clearly wasn’t….. but this was a great story. It was a fast paced read that kept me entertained throughout. Great addition to the series. I received this ARC through the publisher and I am voluntarily reviewing this book, opinions are my own.

Oh my heart! Ashhhhh. I have waited for his side. While it rips your heart out as you flashback to hold the forevers. It also puts you back together. I. Loved. This. I want to go back and read all the savannah crew again now! Highly recommend
