Blurb from Goodreads:

Smouldering Sawyer Vincent is in a bad way after his break-up with Ashton Gray. Losing the girl he dreamed of marrying is bad enough, but to lose her to his brother Beau is plain humiliating.

But Sawyer won't be alone for long - not of Ashton's cousin Lana has her way. Lana's grown up to be a pouting femme fatale and she wants Sawyer, real bad.

But deep down, will Lana ever feel good enough to compete with Ashton in Sawyer's eyes? She's red hot, but inside Lana's still the shy geeky girl she used to be.

Lana's gonna need all her sexy powers of persuasion to make this gorgeous Vincent boy her man ...

Thanks to the publishers over at Hot Key Books for giving me the opportunity to review this book. As soon as I read the first book I knew I had to read this book but I was also a little worried that I wouldn't like it as much as I was very much Team Beau but I needn't have worried it was EPIC!

I love all the covers for this and the first book as they all look great. I don't even think I have a favourite.

Like I said in my intro I was really worried about whether I was going to like the book or not but the moment I started I fell in love with it. I love them both the same amount as the both where epic. The chemistry between Sawyer and Lana was sizzling I just wanted them to get on with it. There was times in which I was annoyed but that just showed how invested I was in the book as I just wanted everything to be okay. As well as reading about Sawyer and Lana we also got to see more of Beau and Ashton which I loved. There was a lot of times that had me shocked as I didn't see any of them coming. The end to this book was one of the best endings to a series I have ever read all I will tell you it went into the future!

In the first book Sawyer was sweet for the most part but then he got very annoying but in this book we got to see a different side to him and I loved it as it was a bit like Beau. He did show his sweeter side at times which was nice to see. There was times when I wanted someone to punch him just so they could knock some sense into him! Lana was a lot different to how she was in the first book which was a good thing as I wasn't too sure about her in the first one but I liked her in this one. There was also some side characters that was a great addition to the book. Also having Beau and Ashton in this book was great especially seeing the vulnerable side to both of them.

Overall I loved every minute of this book and the ending made it all the better.

Blurb from Goodreads:

Beau Vincent is rude, bad, and dangerous to know. So, why can’t good girl Ashton Gray keep away from him? She already has the perfect boyfriend – her town’s local Prince Charming, Sawyer Vincent. But Sawyer is away for the summer, and in the meantime Ashton is bored, and the head between her and Beau is undeniable – as well as irresistible. Ashton is about to unleash her bad girl – but what will she do when Sawyer comes home? And how will Sawyer react when he returns to find his girlfriend in the arms of his best friend – and cousin?

The Vincent Boys is a sexy, exciting and enjoyable romp through one steamy Alabama summer.
 

I have heard so many great things about Abbi Glines and I have slowly been getting her books. I am eternally grateful to Hot Key Books for sending me this book to review as I now know I need to hurry up and get every book by Abbi Glines.

There are quite a few different book covers for this series and to tell you the truth I love them all and I can't pick a favourite but I do like the guys in this cover especially the one in the vest.

From the moment I started this book I fell in love with the story and the characters. When reading the blurb I wasn't sure that this would be a storyline I could agree with but Glines really made me feel for the characters in a way that I understood where everyone was coming from. Usually I love a bit of action but the more Contemporary Romance books I read the more I don't feel like I need any action. The love story is so cute but at the same time sizzling hot and also heartbreaking and I loved every minute of it. The only thing about this book is that it is meant to be aimed at the YA audience but some of the content is far from YA but I really didn't mind this as I felt it was more believable than any other YA book.

As I said I love the characters especially Beau I just fell for him the very first second we met him. He is one of those lovable bad boys (although I wouldn't say he is that bad) who is in love with his cousin's girlfriend. He doesn't think he is good enough for her which makes me love him all the more. Ashton seemed like the good girl but she was hiding her inner bad girl and when she came out I found she was much more likable. With Sawyer I thought he was sweet to start with but he does do a few things that wasn't so sweet and made me go off him but in the end I understood where he was coming from.

Overall my first Abbi Glines book is one of my favourite books that I have read so far this year and I know it won't be my last. I can't wait to find out what Sawyer's book has in store for me and I hope we get to see more of Beau as I just love him.
