Synopsis:
Gossip is the ultimate currency in Rosemary Beach, but Bethy and Tripp have managed to keep one big secret to themselves.
Eight years ago, Tripp Newark was dating a rich girl he didn’t like and was on his way to Yale—and a future he didn’t want. The only way he could escape his predictable life would be to give up the money and power that came with his family’s name. And that’s exactly what he planned to do. At the end of the summer, he was going to ride off on his Harley and never look back.
That was before he met Beth Lowry.
It was only supposed to be a summer fling. She was a sixteen-year-old trailer-park girl who served drinks to his friends at Kerrington Country Club. They didn’t run in the same social circles. No one even knew they were friends, let alone lovers. Yet, for one summer, Bethy became his entire world.
But he couldn’t give up on his plan. He needed to leave Rosemary Beach, but he vowed he would come back for her.
Problem was, by the time he came back—years later than promised—it was too late. His cousin, Jace, had already claimed the woman he loved…
My Review:
OMG…I LOVE TRIPP!! No one writes NA quite like Abbi Glines. The heat, the longing, the first loves…You Were Mine has it all. I absolutely love the Rosemary Beach series and the previous books must be read before you read Bethy and Tripp’s story. Their history is essential to this book.
This book is told in flashbacks alternating with present events. Bethy and Tripp were in love years before but certain events tore them apart and led them to the current day. They are both filled with regret and anger and yes, a huge and undeniable attraction toward each other. I love that all the characters that I love from this series make appearances here, and it is especially poignant seeing their happiness in the face of Tripp and Bethy’s misery.
I fell in love with Tripp. He will do nothing to stop at giving Bethy the happiness she deserves. This book has a lot of emotion and angst and WOW, is it ever hot!! Abbi Glines really knows how to turn up the steam. This is a fabulously satisfying entry in the Rosemary Beach series and should not be missed!!
