From #1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines comes the next sizzling novel in the Rosemary Beach series, featuring well-known playboy and Blaire’s half brother, Captain.

“The look on Rose’s face had screamed that she was hiding something. Hell, she’d practically run away from me. There was something to that. I knew there was . . . “

 synopsis

After ten years in the employ of a mysterious crime boss, River “Captain” Kipling is ready to leave his sordid past—and his cover occupation as an upscale restaurateur—behind him. The only thing standing in the way of his “retirement” is his commitment to launch a new restaurant in the resort town of Rosemary Beach. With his sister, Blaire, nearby, Captain can delay his dream of running a humble bar on the waterfront, but the unwanted attentions of his head server, Elle, have him itching to get out.

Until he notices Rose Henderson, the new server at the restaurant. All he knows about the pretty redhead with the cute glasses is that she’s a hardworking single mom from Oklahoma. But there’s something overly familiar about her laugh…something strange about the way she looks at Captain…

review

I am a Rosemary Beach Series lover through and through.  The Best Goodbye is Captain and Rose’s story.    It’s a sweet story and another great addition to the Rosemary Beach Series.

River “Captain” Kipling is in Rosemary Beach preparing for the opening of an upscale restaurant.  He has quite the interesting past and is attempting to move on to be a better man from the life he has been living. He seems like he has an unbreakable wall around him, but it’s there because of tragedy, because of the past.  The only good in his life was Rose….then she left and Captain got lost in everything and it was nothing good.

Rose Henderson was once in love with Captain. Her only love was with this man when they were teenagers. She is strong and brave while still being vulnerable at the same time.  Rose decides to work at his restaurant in disguise to see just who and what he has become.  So much has changed in the 10 years they have been apart and she needs to know if this is the same man she was once in love with.  Unfortunately, she comes to find out that he surely is not that person anymore.

Captain figures out who she is just as she’s ready to leave Rosemary Beach.  He knows that she is way too good for him now but will that stop him from going after what he wants?    Can a love from 10 years ago be found again or will it be a forever goodbye?

Synopsis4

release teaseI thought I was done.
my End
I couldn’t take my eyes off her as the bullet tore through me, leaving me with nothing but the hope that I had done enough to save her. The darkness tried to engulf me—to brand me as its own and drag me to my fate.
my Darkness
Waking to see her tear-stained face above me was enough to make my heart stutter. I was alive and free from that place—but not from the toll it had taken on my mind and body.
my Strength
My story should have ended, but one woman kept standing in the way of that. The only way I could have her was to find a way to put the darkness to rest.

Excerpt4

“Did you force her to have sex with you?”

My hands clenched at my sides twisting and curling the thin hospital sheets. “Not then.”

I tried to think about anything else, but my mind betrayed me and jumped straight to that night. My heart went into overdrive, fueling the anger that already tainted my blood and sending it to the deepest part of my brain.

That first day. It seemed like it had happened years ago, only because so much had changed since the day I’d first seen her in the basement of the Retreat.

“When? Another day—or night,” Dr. Combs continued prying.

“Second night—only because it would’ve been Ross if not me.”

“How did she react to that?”

I blew out a puff of air. “I got her off if that’s what you’d like to know.”

Dr. Combs scowled.

“See there,” I said, laying my arm over my eyes. “You don’t really want to hear about it any more than I want to talk about it.”

“Be crude all you want. I’m not judging—”

I slammed my hand down on the bed to stop her lie. “Don’t fucking give me that. I was there. There is no fucking way in hell anyone hears about the things I did without some kind of opinion. I’m the bastard, the abuser, rapist, villain, liar, thief—and I get away with it all as far as the law and any official judgment are concerned. I’d be utterly convinced that I’m guaranteed a spot in the deepest pit of Hell if I wasn’t holding on to the slim hope that the time I’ve already spent there was enough to burn away my sins—at the very least it might have burned away my soul, in which case it won’t matter much once I die because there won’t even be anything left.”

She smiled—of all the fucking reactions in the world, she smiled at that?

“Finally getting an honest reaction. I do believe that’s the most you’ve said all week.”

I scowled, the distasteful sting of bile assaulted my mouth. “You’re a gem, you know that?”

“Back to the topic. Tell me what happened.”

“When?” I was done fighting, only because the smile told me that she was quite possibly more sadistic than me.

“Pick a night.”

Advance Reviews:

“Again, I am amazed, I read this in an afternoon, and I am so glad I had the time because I wouldn’t have been able to put this down…. While this book is told from James’s POV it gives another side to the first story yet, builds onto the current story and another part that you haven’t been told.” (read more…)
