I will start by saying I am a huge Abbi Glines fan. I love every book, ever series she has written. And Misbehaving is no exception to this rule. It’s been a while since I visited Sea Breeze, Alabama and what a fun trip back it was! Misbehaving is the story of Jess and Jason (Jax Stone’s brother, yes the one who previously had the hots for Amanda) as they stumble along their journey to romance and love. Abbi Glines does a great job early on reminding the reader who all the supporting characters are and how they are all connected/related. This was extremely helpful to me, as I mentioned it’s been a while since I’ve read this series and it was nice to be reacquainted with the gang.The story is told through the alternating POVs of Jess and Jason. I love this because it lets the reader get inside the minds of both main characters to better understand their thoughts and at times the reasons for their not-always-so-smart actions. We learn so much more about Jess; in the past we see her as a party-girl, often looking to cause trouble with her provocative ways. But there is much more to her personality and in Misbehaving we come to see a sweet, but very insecure and vulnerable young girl with a hard upbringing. She’s doing the best she can but what she really needs is a boost of self-confidence and someone to love and protect her. Enter Jason Stone; he’s hot, he’s cocky, he’s looking for some action. But what he finds is so much more. And again, we get to explore a personality that goes so much deeper than what we see on the surface. Yes he’s the rich college-boy who can have whatever, and probably, whomever he wants. But who he wants is Jess. And here lies the challenge for him as he struggles with conflicting emotions and desires to figure out exactly how she can fit into his life and ultimately his future.Of course it all works out in the end and we get the Abbi Glines HEA that we’ve come to know and love. I was filled with happiness and smiles when Jess and Jason finally worked everything out. Their road to happiness is paved with just the right amount of angst, and it is nothing that cannot be overcome. But while it’s happening you want to scream and yell at them, you might shed a few tears and your heart might be racing a bit. And oh yeah, there are LOTS of HOT scenes as well. Jason knows what he’s doing and the chemistry between him and Jess is perfect!I highly recommend Misbehaving to all fans of the Sea Breeze series.
