Book Nerds Across America

It was not too long ago when I reviewed the book The Vincent Brothers.  I loved that book and the series as a whole.

They are quick and fantastic reads with memorable characters.  I was very sad to read the end of The Vincent Brothers because I knew that there was not going to be anymore of Beau and Sawyer's crazy life.

When Abbi Glines announced that she would do bonus scenes of Beau and Ash's wedding and Sawyer and Lana's wedding I WAS THRILLED!!

So, without further ado, click on the links and you can get the bonus endings of The Vincent Brothers series.

Goodreads Summary:



He may have given her up without a fight, but Sawyer Vincent is far from over losing the girl he’s loved all of his life. Instead of giving up his best friend and the girl he thought he’d spend forever with, he gave Ashton and his brother Beau his blessing. However, adjusting to seeing Ashton wrapped up in Beau’s arms isn’t easy. Complicating everything even more, Ashton’s cousin Lana is in town for the summer. Sweet, kind, soft-spoken Lana, who gets under his skin. Just being near her makes him forget all about Ashton and his broken heart. Lana is everything he wanted Ashton to be except she isn’t Ashton. She lacks the backbone to stand up for herself and confidence that Ashton wears like a crown. 


Lana McDaniel has lived her life in her cousin's shadow. While Lana struggled with her grades no matter how hard she tried, her mother praised Ashton's intelligence. She hadn’t been blessed with Ashton’s blond hair and flawless skin, but that didn't keep her mother from lamenting her naturally red hair and freckles. But none of that would have mattered if Ashton hadn’t always had Sawyer Vincent wrapped around her finger -- the only boy Lana wanted. Once Ashton let Sawyer go, Lana had been so sure that he’d move on. Determined to make Sawyer finally see her, she'd talked her mother into letting her spend the summer with Ashton. But Sawyer is still in love with Ashton, and Lana isn’t going to be anyone's rebound girl. No matter how yummy Sawyer Vincent’s kisses taste.


MARY'S REVIEW:


*sigh* there is something about Sawyer and Beau Vincent that just makes this girl weak in the knees.  When I read The Vincent Boys I was sure in love with bad-boy Beau.

However, times have changed Beau is with Ashton and Sawyer is on his own trying to deal with this situation. (Not going very well at first).  Now enters Lana, Ashton's cousin.  Lana has her own family drama and I can say that I truly felt sorry for this girl.  I was so happy when Sawyer and Lana began to hang out together.  But, you know that Sawyer just cannot stop loving Ashton and trust me Lana tries.  I did enjoy seeing a different side of Sawyer than in the last book.  He has a little bad-boy in him that we had not seen.  On top of that, the ending was very good!

I really enjoyed this story BUT THERE WAS ONE THING MISSING.  Beau and Ashton has the "truck scene" but we did not get one of those for Sawyer and Lana.  THEN, Abbi did announce that if she received 200 reviews on Amazon that she would release that scene!  (HEHE) I cannot wait for that.

Goodreads Descriptions:

Marcus Hardy had hoped to enjoy a year away at college while he put the summer he’d rather forget behind him. But instead, he’s jerked right back to the coastal town of Sea Breeze, Alabama due to a family crisis. His dear ol' dad found himself a girlfriend only a few years older than Marcus. So now his sister needs help dealing with their mother who is mentally falling apart. The only bright spot to returning is the fascinating red head who sleeps over several times a week. The problem is she's sleeping in bed with his new roommate, Cage Watson. 

Willow “Low” Foster needs a place to live. Running to Cage’s apartment every time her sister kicks her out isn’t exactly a long term solution. Juggling her courses at the local community college and a part time job doesn’t produce excess income. But Cage has a new roommate and suddenly sleeping over at her best friend’s apartment isn’t such a bad thing. Not when she gets to see those sexy green eyes of Marcus Hardy’s twinkle when he smiles at her like he wants her there. 
Even though Cage seems a little territorial where Low is concerned, Marcus finds time to spend with Low without upsetting his roommate. Cage may use his small college baseball star persona to sleep with every hot female in his path but he’s still under the disillusion that when he’s through sowing his wild oats, he’s going to marry Low. Marcus intends to change that assumption for both Cage and Low. Until his carefully laid plans come crashing down with a revelation he never expected. He’ll have to choose between Low or his family. Because once the truth comes out.... there’s no other choice.

Once again I need to thank the social network known as Twitter that lead me to this book.  My friend @LuvMyHootie was so kind to loan me a copy of this book to read. 

I read it in just one day.  It is not very long but it is GOOD! Although I was unsure about it at first because I thought it was just going to be another love triangle book.  However, you seem to get sucked into the world with Beau, Sawyer, and Ashton. 

First, we have the preacher's daughter, Ashton, Mr. All-American Sawyer, and bad-boy Beau.  Let me say that there are no vampires, werewolves, or any other supernatural beings. (I know that is strange for me but HEY we all have to try something different every now and then.)

Ashton and the Vincent boys (Sawyer and Beau are cousins) grew up together in their small town.  Ashton was not always the "good" girl, her and Beau would get into trouble when they were young.  Flash forward 10 years when they all in high school and you will see a different picture.  Ashton and Sawyer are an item and Beau is the town bad boy.  However, Sawyer leaves for part of the summer and everything changes.  We see the transformation of the good-girl & bad-boy which all leads to a twist that even I did not see.

Abbi Glines really pulls you into the story and even gave this Book Nerd a flash back to some of her old high school days!! I really enjoyed this book and hope that others will too.
