Chapter 7 complete, Finally!


I'm officially out of chapter 7 and into chapter 8, woo-hoo! I probably shouldn't say 'officially' since I always go back and make edits. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and although this is great for quality it definitely has it's downfalls. For one nothing is ever good enough or just right and if I don't give myself a deadline the process could go on forever! So with that being said from this point on I will put deadlines on my chapters. This literally has me squirming in my seat just typing this, but I have to crack the whip on myself! So chapter 8's deadline is...drum roll please...May 30th. Three weeks to write it and hopefully be happy with it.Wish me luck! :)

The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines

The Vincent Boys (The Vincent Boys, #1)The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I need a minute to breathe and maybe to fan myself! This was definitely a story I didn't expect. The premise is nothing new, but the character (the very sexy) Beau is someone to fall into lust with! I can't believe I'm admitting that in public, but I feel a lot better knowing I'm not the only one. I read many reviews from other readers on Goodreads.com about how much they were kicking themselves for waiting so long to read the book and after reading it myself I joined in on the kicking! If I didn't have to take breaks in my reading for work and sleep I would have finished it sooner! I loved the beginning with the buildup to Beau and Ash's summer together and the twist delivered toward the end I just didn't see that coming until Beau's mom started speaking! I was thoroughly pleased with the ending, thank you Abbi Glines for that! I don't want to over-hype the book, but if you're a hopeless romantic always in love with the bad boy then you won't be disappointed.

The story follows Ash, the quintessential preacher's daughter-good girl do very bad things with her boyfriend's cousin. Ash (Ashton), Sawyer and Beau have been the best of friends since childhood, but things change when the boys fall in love with Ash as she turns into a beautiful young teen. Sawyer, the all-American, good-boy and town prince seizes the moment at 14 and asks Ash out leaving Beau, the town bad-boy, to pine for her from a distance. They're 17 and Sawyer is off on an outdoor family trip for the summer leaving behind Ash and Beau to rekindle their friendship. They fire up more than a friendship when both can't keep their hands off each other. The time spent together has Ash and Beau falling more in love with each other with every touch, kiss and steamy encounter, but can they continue to follow their hearts when it means they'll have to break Sawyer's heart? You'll have to read it to find out :)
