Series: Sea Breeze # 1
In
the shore town of Sea Breeze, Sadie discovers that fame is nothing in the face
of passion. A steamy read from bestselling author Abbi Glines.
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.
Even though Sadie isn’t impressed by Jax’s fame, he is drawn to her. Everything about Sadie fascinates Jax, but he fights his attraction: Relationships never work in his world, and as badly as he wants Sadie, he believes she deserves more. Yet as the summer stretches on, Jax’s passion leaves him breathless—and Sadie feels like the only source of oxygen.
Can their love overcome the disparity in their lifestyles? One breath at a time, they’re going to find out…

I think this will be the first book by Abbi Glines that I reward less than 4 or 5 cupcakes. I have read other books in this series, I know I read out of order, but this as my first time reading this one. Something about this book just didn’t meet the standards that I have for Abbi Glines. I was not compelled by the characters as much and I was not flipping through the pages so fast that you could see smoke lifting from my fingers. This is the first book in the Sea Breeze series, and it follows the story of Sadie, Jax, and Marcus. (Marcus gets his own story in Because of Low, which I am in love with!) Sadie takes over her mother’s job of cleaning houses on a remote island because her mother is pregnant and can barely move. Sadie does not realize that she is in fact cleaning the home of rock star Jax Stone until he is standing right in front of her. She just wants a summer job, but instead she may get a summer fling!
I am right in the middle of breathe. I understand this first book is more young adult but as the series continues it is more new adult. Have you found that to be so ?
